âSince she obtained the blessings of the fairy kings, they thought that it might work and it seemed like they have hit the jackpot. They initially just tried every single measure that they could think of.â
Right now, Saravia has totally become engrossed with Tiararose and it made him smile.
âI didnât expect that thereâs another human being who possesses magical power which matches the frequency of the Salamander, other than the royal family of Sandrose.â
âWe were investigating while thinking that itâs hopeless. Normal human beings would definitely not match it. I wonder who on earth Rose is.â
It seems like not everyone could pass their magical power to the Salamander.
Just like what Saravia has just said, thereâs a need for the magical power to match its frequency. The possibility of finding someone who could do that would be akin to finding gold sand from the desert.
No, in the first place, such a person might not have existed. Although thatâs what they initially thought, they have no choice but to feed the Salamander with magical power so they started their investigations.
They carried out their secret investigation and first thought that there might be some possibility of finding people with unique magical powers in Marineforest, whichâs blessed by the fairies.
However, the people who were blessed by the common fairies just had normal magical powersâŚ
They then thought that Aquasteed might be a possible candidate since he has been blessed by the fairy king; his magical power was indeed better than the commoners but its frequency did not match that of the Salamander.
Right when they were about to give up⌠they decided to give one last try at investigating the frequency of Tiararoseâs magical power when they found out that it matches.
The reason could be attributed by the fact that sheâs reincarnated as the gameâs villainess, so her soul and specs were higher compared to others⌠of course Saravia doesnât know about that.
âIf we were going to impart Lady Tiararoseâs magical power to the Salamander, weâd have to invite her to Sandrose, huh⌠In the first place, have you explained about the situation to her?â
âIâll send an invitation letter to the festival so it should be fine; they probably wouldnât refuse given the exchanges weâve had.â
Aquasteed might not want to let her go seeing how protective heâs, but that guy probably understands that thereâs a need to separate between private and work matters.
âFor the explanation⌠Iâll first take a look at the Salamanderâs situation. Itâd be the best if the magical power could be extracted from the Salamanderâs tear.â
âThatâs right. If King Aquasteed determines that itâs a dangerous, he might not bring Lady Tiararose along with him.â
âYes.â
Unlike his usual demeanor, Saravia nodded with little confidence as heâs not sure whether the awoken Salamander would be satisfied with the magical power.
***
A few days later-
âSir Aquasteed, you have an invitation letter.â
âHm?â
Elliot delivered the letter to Aquasteed, whoâs working at his office.
Heâs sitting on a black leather chair and he looked at the contents before placing it on the table.
Aquasteedâs office has a soothing atmosphere with black as the main theme color. A gentle wind entered from the slightly opened window and itâs a comfortable.
âThis is⌠an invitation letter from Sandrose, huh. The sender is of course King Saravia.â
Using a paper knife, he took out the letter and read the content; itâs an invitation to the Sandroseâs âFlame and Water Festivalâ.
Itâs an annual festival held in Sandrose and they normally do not invite the royal family of other countries.
Aquasteed read the letter with suspicion and gave a small sigh.
âAs expected, I cannot reject an official invitation⌠I guess.â
âThatâs right. Furthermore, it seems like itâs going to be quite grand this year.â
ââŚI see.â
From what they heard from Grail and he others, itâs easy to imagine that this might be related to the case of the Salamander.
Hoping that it doesnât end up being troublesome, Aquasteed sighed once again.
âHappiness is going to escape if you sigh that much, you know?â
âElliot⌠thatâs probably just a superstitionâ
âHmm, I wonder.â
Saying that with a gentle smile was his close aide, Elliot.
He has soft brown hair with a hint of orange. Elliotâs normally gentle but heâs a capable man who does his work well.
Elliotâs working even harder right now so that he could obtain a noble position and propose to Philiane.
Taking a sip of black tea, Aquasteed was troubled about what to do.
âTiara and I, the two of us will be attending the festival. Since the weatherâs quite drastic in Sandrose, please come up with a schedule such that we will have enough leisure time.â
âI got it. For Lady Tiararose, other than Philiane and Tarmo, Iâll make sure a few knights would attend to her as bodyguards.â
âYes, please.â
Also, they have to bring along gifts too.
From the invitation letter, it seems like they have three months till the date of the festival takes place. Even so, the trip to Sandrose by horse wagon would take around fifteen days. They do not have much time left.
âHowever, Sandrose would be quite hot. There might be a need to make sure that the clothingâs suitable for the heatâŚâ
âThatâs right. Thatâs particularly so for Tiara, unlike Elliot and I, she doesnât have training so it might be hard on her. Please tell Philiane and let her prepare the dresses as soon as possible.â
âI got it.â
Elliot nodded and left the room so he could do the scheduling with Philiane.
Aquasteed continued with his writing and reading of documents.
Since theyâre going to Sandrose, he would be away from the royal castle for over a month. Things are going to be busy and he could not help but sigh once again.
