In the Land of Jewels, Margarita…-.
Beneath a cloudless sky, a wedding ceremony at a majestic church was being held for a certain noble.
Four of the princes of the Land of Jewels, Keith, Totori, Perla, and Lid, had come to attend this gorgeous ceremony.
Totori: “Congratulations!”
With a huge smile of his face, Totori threw a massive amount of flower petals at the new bride and groom, wishing them happiness.
Keith: “Hey, isn’t that a bit too much?”
Totori: “I’m sure it’s fine Keith, since it’s a day for celebrating.”
Saying as much, Totori threw a handful of flower petals at Keith’s frowning face.
Keith: “…why are you scattering them around me?”
Lid: “The flower petals are really piling up around Totori.”
Perla: “It feels more like a petal downpour than a flower shower.”
The groom for the ceremony was not Keith nor Totori, but rather someone who Lid and Perla had grown close to a long time ago…-.
The princes stood next to each other as they watched the groom as he smiled kindly to his new wife.
Totori: “…he looks so happy.”
Keith: “Yeah. They say happiness is to walk beside the person you love… during the difficulties they’ll face from now on.”
Perla: “…happiness huh.”
Perla murmured those words, then…-.
Lid: “! Perla…!”
Keith looked at Perla, surprised by Lid’s words, and saw tears flowing from Perla’s eyes.
Before their very eyes, the tears transformed into pure white pearls and Lid frantically caught them in his hands.
The tears of Perla, a member of the Margarita Royal Family, were special…
The tears that flowed when he was happy would change into pearls that could bring others happiness.
Lid: “Perla, does this mean…”
Totori: “Haha, they’re very beautiful pearls.”
Perla pursed his lips as he took one of the pearls and looked at it.
Before, Perla couldn’t cry tears of happiness.
Perla: “But this didn’t happen before. I wonder why when I look at his smiling face…”
Perla frowned as if trying to hold in his overflowing emotions.
Keith: “I don’t think it’s strange. It’s normal.”
Totori: “Yes. It’s natural for your heart to be filled with happiness at times like this. …you’ve changed Perla.”
Lid: “Alright, alright! There’s no need to hold back at a time like this!”
Perla: “! But I don’t need such a thing.”
Shaking his head a little roughly, Perla pulled back from Lid’s hand and standoffishly looked the other way…
Perla: “…but I think you’re right that I’ve changed. I don’t think I could have if I’d been alone.”
The scene overflowing with happiness reflected in Perla’s eyes, which shone with a tender light as if he were thinking about someone.
Totori, who had quietly been watching over Perla, clapped his hands.
Totori: “Oh, I got it. How about after this, we give the couple these pearls as a gift?”
Keith: “That’s a good idea. I’m sure they’d be happy.”
Perla: “…yeah. You’re right.”
The three exchanged looks around Perla as he looked at the pearls in his hands.
During this time overflowing with happiness, those pearls reflected a gentle brilliance.
