Asta awakes from his night in the hospital bed.
It's now morning.

Asta yawns and stretches himself out.

"I finally can go back to the castle he says.

Meanwhile..

Noelle is sitting in a tree inside her garden

She has been up early everyday for the past 3 days Asta has been away training with Julius.

"Please come back to me" Noelle says to herself with her hands clamped together.

2 maids coming passing by

"Good-morning Queen, you look lovely today" says one the maids to Noelle

"Thank you and Goodmorning" says Noelle

"She hasn't smile since that bodyguard of hers left with the Wizard King the night of the banquet". whispers the other maid.

Back at the hospital

"Thanks so much Doc" says a happy Asta

Asta leaves the hospital and decides to stop at a local flower shop he use to come to when he was younger with his mother.

He enters the shop

"Long time no see kiddo" says the beautiful plant magic user 'Charlotte Rosalie'.

"Mrs.Charlotte still beautiful as beautiful as ever is see" Asta responds

Charlotte blushes

"I know you haven't come to spend time with me, so what are you here for?" Charlotte asks

Asta gets slightly flustered

Charlotte sees this and walks up to him and grabs his cheeks

"You and that cute girl Mimosa are finally dating huh" asks Charlotte

"No,No.. I'm here to get a single rose for the Queen of House Silver" says Asta

Charlotte is shocked

"I see.... she looks exactly like her mother did , that silky silver hair and beautiful face..no wonder you fell for her" says Charlotte

"No! I'm her personal bodyguard , I haven't been on duty for 3 days and I know she likes gifts so I decided to stop by while I was on my way". says a defensive Asta

Charlotte grabs Asta and gives him a kiss on the cheek.

"Whatever you say kid, you can't fool me" says Charlotte

Asta blushes

"Can you also make a rose for Mimosa and send it to her castle please" asked Asta

"Of course, you two use to run around this shop when both of your mothers would bring you two, I'm glad to see you two are still friends"

"Yea , she always came and checked on me after everyone died, she's like a sister to me." responds Asta

"I see..." says Charlotte
