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

After a short stay in the Kingdom of Lapis Lazuli on the way, we came to the Kingdom of Filarsia. It was evening, and the orange sky was beautiful.

A fresh breeze blew through the borders of Lapis Lazuli as we entered Filarsia. Indeed, Tiararose thinks that it looks like there is going to be a wind spirit sylph.

Filarsia has a mild climate and many water mills can be seen. The fields are sprawling and self-sufficiency is evident.

The royal castle of Filarsia was a lovely brick castle with a large windmill set up in it.

When Tiara Rose and the others arrived, they were immediately welcomed. The one who greeted us was the princess, Emerald.

''Welcome, Your Majesty Aquastide. And Tiararose-sama, it is a great pleasure to see you again.''

"Thank you for welcoming me to your home despite my unexpected visit.

I, too, have been looking forward to meeting you, Master Emerald.

Aquastide and Tiara Rose return the greetings to Emerald. And they apologize for the unexpected visit.

However, Emerald smiles at them and says, "Don't worry about it.

Emerald Filarsia is the princess of the Kingdom of Filarsia, Emerald Filarsia.

Her lightly pigmented golden hair is loose and wavy, and is as long as her waist. Her yellow-green eyes, which tended to be calm and slack-jawed, were yellow-green. You can see her warmth from her face.

Her dress, made of layers of cloth, is reminiscent of traditional dress, and a jeweled circlet is attached to her forehead, which is parted in the center of her bangs.

It will be a pleasure to talk with you a lot, Tiara Rose. Also, it's a pleasure to meet you guys.

Yes. She's with me this time.

As Aquastide said this, Elliot and Talmo stepped forward.

''It's a pleasure to meet you for the first time, Emerald-sama. I am His Majesty Aquastide's entourage, Elliot Coralcia. Please have a look around.''

"Lady Tiara Rose's guardian knight, Tarmo.

I look forward to working with you both.

Next, Tiara Rose looks at Keith to introduce him.

--should we keep quiet about the fact that he's the Forest Fairy King?

As Tiara Rose was wondering what to do, Keith was the first to open his mouth.

'I'm Keith, the Forest Fairy King. I'm accompanying Tiara and Aqua as I'm giving them my blessing.''

-Oh!

Emerald's eyes widened at Keith's words. And immediately, he folded his hips deeply.

''I did not know you were the Fairy King, and I apologize for my disrespect. I am Emerald Filarsia. Please take your time during your stay.''

Yeah, thanks.

After the greetings, the maid showed us to our respective rooms.

A pleasant breeze entered through the windows of the room and tickled Tiara Rose's long hair. Taking a deep breath, Tiararose sat down on the couch.

''Feng ....... I see you've finally arrived at Phyllalusia.''

'You're not tired?After this, we have a dinner with His Majesty the King, so you might want to get some rest.

No, I'm fine!

I don't want to waste my time resting because I want to look for clues on Lucia Rose right away. Seeing Tiara Rose like that, Aquastide chuckles.

''I know how you feel. ......

Aquastide takes a seat next to Tiara Rose with the fruit water that had been prepared.

''In a little while, His Majesty the King will hold a welcome dinner for us. It's important to take a break now so that you can talk to him properly at that time. After that, I think we'll be free to move on, and we'll look for clues on the spirits.

...... Yes.

Tiara Rose nodded as the gentle Aquastide's hand stroked her head.

And then she closes her eyes, hoping that she will be able to get some information about the sylphs. Then a drowsiness hit her.

''Ah .......''

Yeah?

...... no. I was surprised to find that I felt sleepy all at once.

'It's only natural after all that horse flying.

Aquastide smiles, not that it's any wonder.

'I'll lend you my lap until it's time to eat.

That's not going to help Aqua sleep. ......

'I'm used to horses too, I'll be fine. More importantly, it's more restful to touch a tiara like this.

So let's keep it that way, Aquastide pulled Tiara Rose into his lap.

'It's warm,'

Do you feel rested?

...... Yes. I feel so much better.

Chuckling at Aquastide's question, Tiara Rose closed her eyes once more. Then, she immediately fell into sleep.

******

An hour or so later, it was a welcome dinner.

Philine hadn't arrived yet, so I asked the maids of the royal castle to help me get ready and finish the preparations.

She wore a light blue dress made of lace and coral ornaments, a specialty of the Marine Forest. Her hair is in an updo, giving her an unusual look.

'Welcome to Filarsia. His Majesty Aquastide, Lady Tiara Rose. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Thank you for taking the time to sit down with us on such short notice.

Thank you. It's a great pleasure to meet you.

We were greeted at the dinner table by the king, Edmon Filarcia.

Chestnut-colored hair and a long beard. Eyes are the same yellow-green as the emeralds, also slightly slouchy. She has a skinny build and is in her fifties.

Emerald is a late addition to the family, and she is very fond of her daughter.

After the greetings, the dinner began in a relaxed manner.

While chatting about trivial matters, Edmon asks me about my visit.

'It was something about magic and a cultural exchange ......, wasn't it? Filarsia is kind of rural, and I was really looking forward to today.

Then Edmon laughs.

As it is now, we are visiting Filarcia to ask if we can exchange magic and culture.

Because with these two, it's natural to bring up the topic of history and wind-related magic.

Aquastide smiles and shakes his head, "I can't believe it's in the countryside .......

The wind is nice in Filarsia, and I think it's beautiful to see the city landscape with its spinning windmills. Has this wind always been there?

'Yes. Wind is the pride of Filarsia, and nowadays it's an important part of our life. It's a terrain with many high mountains and deep valleys, and the wind blows.

I see. ......

Certainly, with that terrain, it would be easier for the wind to blow.

Aquastide waved the topic of history to Edmon, pondering. Perhaps the topic of sylphs might come up.

'The Marine Forest has had fairies for a long time, and there are very few such cultural assets, such as ruins. Is Filarsia such a thing ......?

If it's an archaeological site, there are several: ......

Edmon smiles and answers Aquastide's questions.

Then they continued to talk for a while, but unfortunately the dinner party ended without any useful information.

But apparently, Edmon didn't seem to know about Sylph.

* * * *.

Tiara Rose and the others went back to their rooms and changed and then gave a single sigh.

'You didn't get any information: ......

'Yes ....... His Majesty Edmon really didn't seem to know anything about it, did he?

'I wonder if Master Sylph is not in the country. Perhaps he might know where the gnome is.

If you don't have a clue, then you have to figure out your next move right away.

But for now, it was time to make sure that there was no magic power of Lucia Rose in this area. Ciara Rose went up to the roof with Aquastide and Keith.

''Keith, can you do me a favor?''

Yeah. Aqua, you're with me.

Okay.

Now I'm going to ask you to look for signs of Lucia Rose's magic in this country. We may not have a clear location, but we might be able to get some clues.

As Keith focused, a pale green magical light emerged around him. When Aquastide did the same, a golden light emerged.

Tiara Rose couldn't help but be taken aback by the sight.

--Amazing.

But just as she thought that, a third party said, "It's amazing! A voice said.

'Is this the light of magic?Very beautiful.

''Princess Emerald!''

Emerald looks relaxed, but Tiara Rose and the others are in a hurry.

Because if they were using magic and doing something on the rooftop, there was no way they would be suspicious. Maybe they thought they were trying to do something harmful to the country.

'Oh shit, I didn't notice because I was so focused on finding Lucia,'

Princess Emerald is not looking good in any way: ......

Keith and Aquastide whispered and stopped acting once.

What excuse should I make?But before he could come to that conclusion, the princess surprised him.

'I can do it too. Hey Sylv, I need a little help.

When Emerald said this, a pale light enveloped her body. A yellow-green, windy, gentle but powerful light.

It's a very beautiful and fantastic picture - but I can't just sit back and watch it. Because Emerald said a few words that I couldn't miss.

''Wind Spirit--?!''

The voices of Tiararose and the other three overlapped.

Then, Emerald blinked her eyes with a snap.

''Oh, my God, you knew about Sylph?But yes, ...... there are fairies in the Marine Forest, so it's not surprising that they know of the existence of spirits.

Emerald chuckles and reaches out into the empty space.

'Welcome, Sylph.'

What is it, Emerald?

After a small gust of wind, the wind spirit sylph took Emerald's hand and manifested.

'I thought you'd mistake it for magic, so I used the sylph's help. I didn't expect to be found out.

"...... who?These people. One of them doesn't seem to be human.'

The Wind Spirit, Sylph.

A girl with yellow-green hair in a ponytail and victorious green eyes. Her outward appearance is probably in her late teens.

She is dressed in an outfit that reveals a lot of skin and looks at us as if she is trying to price us.

I was impatient that Tiara Rose didn't seem to have a good impression of me, but Keith, who was next to me, laughed.

''Just as well, we've got to go run some errands for Sylph.
