The Villainess Is Being Doted on by the Crown Prince of the Neighboring Country

Aquasteed drops him off at the errand, and Tiara Rose finishes the assignment. I don't think you had any plans for today in particular, let's even make a sweet map of the city... what a thought comes to mind.

Out on your own balcony, overlooking the royal castle gardens and city. This moment is Tiara Rose's favorite when the sea reflects the morning sun and looks glittering.

Lately, the city has become much more gorgeous. There are more decorations using flowers, and more cute exterior cafes.

"I wish the sweets were more widespread"

Oh, my God, I'm greedy.

And, uh, speaking of which, I recall you hadn't talked to Aquasteed about the ring. I forgot to tell her that I was going to be too busy and that there wasn't that much change.

I stare at a ring with a jewel that shines like a night sky, stuck in my left hand.

There was no discomfort that bothered me then, and I wonder what the hell it was. When it comes to common developments in games, rings can be keys to opening doors, proof of identity, magical items, and then...

"... Could you be telling me where Master Aqua is?

After all, this ring was made by Aquasteed himself. Wouldn't it be possible to have such a feature... I don't know what to think.

But then, I might not feel very good about it, like GPS.

"It's not very easy to get in touch, so it's convenient when it comes to convenience."

You can use magic to get in touch, contact magic falls into one difficult category or another. So of course I can't use Tiara Rose, who doesn't like magic.

Akali, who sends letters, or Elliot, who is near Aquasteed's side, can use them.

When I was thinking about that while looking at the ring, the light in the gem began to grow bigger or smaller.

"Huh?"

And at the same time, it feels like the ring is being pulled by something.

Aquasteed ahead? Think so. But what the ring indicates is ahead - apparently, the royal castle gardens.

Aquasteed, who works in the office, should be in the castle. It's not in the right position, so I wonder what the hell you're showing...

"But you should go."

If the place were a royal castle garden, nothing would go wrong.

Maybe it's an event of the game or a hidden item... something like that. Tiara Rose thinks we just need to see how it goes and report it to Aquasteed if anything.

If you decide so, goodness hurries.

Tiara Rose calls Filine and tells her she wants to take a walk in the garden. The escort always has Tarmo on it.

"Dear Tiara Rose, it's still a little chilly in the morning, so take this one."

"Thanks"

Tiara Rose came all the way to the garden as she greeted the working maids busily. The roses and tiara rose flowers left in the morning dew bloom beautifully, making me feel luxurious in the morning.

It is named a walk, so I walk in the direction of the ring under the guise of the wind watching the flowers.

- Where the hell is it?

I don't usually go to the back of the garden. So Tiara Rose doesn't really know how deep this garden is either.

Probably Tarmo, if you know.

Seeing Tiara Rose walk deeper than usual, Filine asks, "How far are we going?" and speak up.

"I'd like to go a little deeper, okay?

"I don't mind that, of course...... Talmo, is the garden going on all the time ahead?

Filine asks Tarmo what Tiara Rose also wondered. Nodding immediately, Tarmo indicates affirmation.

"Ahead, there is a fountain. There are flowers all around and they are very beautiful. But I think walking takes about twenty minutes."

"This garden is bigger than I thought it would be."

Filine says to impress, and Tiara Rose agrees.

- Maybe the fountain is an event spot or something.

Although I may be referring to a different place, I would also like to see it if it is a beautiful fountain.

"Walking is no problem, let's go, Philine"

If you tell him you'd love to see it, "Of course," Philine laughs with pleasure. Just like Tiara Rose, Philine seems relieved to want to see it.

Love the flowers in the garden and head to the fountain to see where the ring leads. Fortunately, the directions still seemed consistent.

At the end of the rose arch, there is a fountain. Tiara Rose's chest bounces to Tarmo's voice, who says, "It's right there".

"This is the fountain. - Huh?

Beyond the arch, Tiara Rose, most eyed by the fountain, stops unexpectedly in agitation.

The fountain, about five meters in diameter, was black and cloudy. There are beautiful flowers around it, so this sight is nothing but heterogeneous.

- The ring looks like it was referring to this fountain after all.

quicker than you can think of what that means, "Step back!" Tarmo stepped forward in front of Tiara Rose.

"What the hell is this, there's a risk of some kind of drug mixing......!

Tarmo in a hurry and Filine who makes you look anxious.

But Tiara Rose, on the contrary, calms down. Usually a beautiful fountain led itself with the help of a ring for some help - I thought.

As I watched Tarmo observe the fountain, fu... I saw Kopokopo and bubbles in the center part of the fountain. Tarmo seems to be looking at water quality, and he hasn't noticed that yet.

Tiara Rose glances over and stares at what the hell it is. Then the bubble grew bigger and bigger.

"- Huh!?"

To its sound, Tarmo and Filine also see the center of the fountain.

A single animal reveals itself with a shaver. It was an instant that I thought what was going on, and I immediately understood that the animal was drowning.

When Tiara Rose leaves one step ahead, Filine stops right away.

"Stay away, it's dangerous! Fountain water could also be poisonous and harmful!

Never touch it, Philine gives a sad voice.

"But if you don't help, you could drown and die!

"That's why Master Tiara Rose doesn't need help"

"... Huh!

But I can't even tell you to help by letting Tarmo jump into a fountain that might be poisoned.

I don't even want to kill an animal. There are no long sticks around this garden that can be grabbed.

Tiara Rose blushes her lips and wonders if she can somehow help with the power of the protection of the Fairy King of the Sea - haha.

If you realize it, you're quick to judge from it.

In an attempt to jump into the fountain, he captures Tarmo in sight with his hand on the sword he had.

"Tarmo!"

"Yes."

"Back off. I won't allow you to jump in."

――!?

Tiara Rose, who deposited the stall that was wrapped around her shoulder with Filine, ran straight into the fountain.

"Dear Tiara Rose!?"

Hearing Philine's sad cry, Tiara Rose swims beneath the drowning animal without worrying. Immediately hugging the animal, Tiara Rose looks back toward Tarmo and Filine.

"Oh my God...! Talmo, please help Master Tiara Rose quickly!!"

If he drowned, Filine bursts into Tarmo in tears. But it was Tiara Rose herself who was supposed to have jumped in.

"It's okay," he says as he swims, reaching the shore where the two of us are.

"What are you going to do now, Master Tiara Rose!

"Oh, don't touch me, Philine"

Reach right out and control Filine and Tarmo trying to pull Tiara Rose up from the fountain.

Flush wet hair back into the water, sucking water and putting your face on the heavier dress.

"You better not touch this water."

"But Master Tiara Rose is touching it... Huh!

"I am fine because I have the protection of the Fairy King of the Sea. Because if it is liquid, it will disable any poison"

The pinky ring Tiara Rose wears to her left pinky finger is the ring of the Fairy King of the Sea. As I told you earlier, any poison, if liquid, is deactivated and protects the owner.

Even if a meal is poisoned, it won't do any good for Tiara Rose.

Therefore, he took control of Tarmo and jumped himself into the fountain.

In this, Tiara Rose is the only one who can enter an unknown fountain of unknown condition and remain intact. Explaining that to both of us doesn't erase Filine's sad eyes.

"It's not a question of the poison not working......! No more such impotence!

"That's right. Even if it's poisonous, it's not Tiara Rose who's responsible for jumping in."

"... oh, sorry"

Because I'm fine - and Tiara Rose thought about it, but it still didn't seem like such an easy issue for the two of us.

"In the meantime, let's clean the dirty dress..."

"... thank you, Philine"

Using the magic of water, Philine removes the dirt on Tiara Rose. Filine, who is protected by sea fairies, is good at magic about water. It mainly helps by cleaning indoors, etc.

However, I can't even dry it, so I need to hurry back to my room.

When equally helpful animals were cleansed with water, black haired, whole horned mysterious animals appeared. It's about the size of a cat and looks just the right size when you hug it.

also mundane hair looks very soft, its figure is like a pomeranian covered with hair all over its body.

"... an animal you've never seen?

"Right......"

Tiara Rose wipes the water gently with a stall and takes a serious look. The first look I see brings to mind the idea that it could possibly be a kind of fairy.

"Dear Tiara Rose, please return to your room for now. I'll keep the animal."

"Right. Ask Tarmo. - Come on!

Trying to give the animal to Tarmo, he starts rushing and rumbling. I got out of Tiara Rose's arm and ran into the rose bush as I glanced at this one.

Tarmo tries to chase the bushes right away, but he doesn't look like an animal anymore.

"... the search will be conducted in the Knights. Let's go back."

Tiara Rose's body is more important now.

That monstrous fountain of color, the unobtrusive animal that was there. There is no doubt that something is going on.

"Okay. I'm sorry, because you weakened the power I hold."

"It's not Master Tiara Rose's fault, so don't worry about it. Let's warm up now."

Tarmo, an escort, can't leave Tiara Rose behind to chase animals. The first step is to get back to your room and move Tiara Rose to a safe place.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Tiara!"

"Dear Aqua..."

When Tiara Rose finished her bath, Aquasteed waited in her room looking worried. Tell him immediately, "I'm glad he's safe," and hug Tiara Rose.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I have no problem with Pearl's ring."

"Not at all...... In the future, don't be so impotent with a ring. When I heard the report from Tarmo, I thought my heart would stop."

If you don't keep any number of hearts, Aquasteed breathes.

Let Tiara Rose sit on the couch and give her warm tea. Though I took a bath, I can't feel at ease with Aquasteed unless you stay calm for a while.

Prepare cookies with me, and sit next to Aquasteed.

"Speaking of which, did you find that animal...?

"No, not yet. Tarmo is taking command and looking for the premises, but it is also likely that he has left the royal castle"

"There's a mountain behind you."

Maybe that's where it came from.

We'll do a search for a few days, but if we still can't find it, we'll end up making the decision that we're not inside the royal castle. But the water in the fountain was more of a problem than that.

"Within the royal castle, nothing like that has ever happened before. There are many knights, and it's hard to think of suspicious characters in there."

The investigation is underway, so we'll be able to find out what caused it in the near future, Aquasteed says.

So Tiara Rose is told to keep her company until the problem is solved.

"I won't stand in your way either... oh?

"Hmm?"

Feeling his gaze on the lid, Tiara Rose looks at the window.

There was an animal there that I helped in the fountain earlier - staring at Tiara Rose.
