Can a detective love a princess?

CHAPTER 17: A tough decision

CHAPTER 17: A tough decision

Everything came back to normal and to be calm; however, the one who wasn't calm was Oshawott. He was happy for having found his Pal after all what happened, but in other hand, he was untranquil for something. Serperior removed the prohibition of not letting Oshawott enter the Arbor Area, the otter was able to now enter and see Snivy again as they did before, long before they were mates. That was what bothered the water type Pokémon. What will the queen think about the engagement that her daughter had with him after rescuing Snivy? Will she have changed her mind about it? Will she let Oshawott be with the grass snake now? A lot of questions had in his mind. He didn't notice that there was someone talking to him.

"Oshawott, are you alright?"

It was Samurott, who was uncanny by his attitude that he had lately after the princess' rescue.

"Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm alright. Don't worry."

"Oshawott, I know something is bothering you since several days ago. It's necessary that you told it to me to see what I can do for you."

"Okay, the thing is... I'm worried about my relationship with Snivy after finding her."

"Are you worried about that?"

"Yeah, quite enough. I was thinking on what to do with her. If it was a good idea put her aside or continue with our relationship."

"Why do you say so?"

"I'm afraid that Queen Serperior says that I can't be with her daughter, even after having found her in good conditions. The fact that she had removed the prohibition of not entering the Arbor Area is something, now I can see Snivy as we did it before, but I don't know if Serperior still thinks that I can't be with Snivy."

"Hmm..."

Samurott was very thoughtful on what to do in that case, but an idea came to mind. He said:

"Oshawott, I know that is hard having that thought in mind. Maybe it's a good idea leave Snivy live her happy life."

"The thing is... I'm still in love for her enough to abandon her. I couldn't stop thinking on her all the process of investigation until find her."

"And does she still love you?"

"Umm... she didn't tell me that yet, but I think she still loves me in secret so that her mother doesn't notice."

"I understand. Maybe is a good idea to ask Serperior about what she thinks, that will clear all your doubts."

"Ask her?"

"Yes, is there something wrong with that?"

"The thing is... is... I'm very scared that she doesn't accept my relationship with Snivy. She can think the same despite of me having rescued her daughter. Serperior told me that I couldn't be with her even in a lovely way after finding her."

"Hmm... but, she removed the prohibition of not entering the Arbor Area, now you can visit her whenever you want."

"That's something, but I think is not enough."

"What I'm trying to say is Serperior might have changed her mind about your relationship with Snivy after rescuing her."

"Do you think so?"

"Of course, or otherwise, she would continue with that prohibition for you. Don't you think that is a good opportunity to convince her?"

"Mmm..."

Oshawott thought about it for a moment, he still loved Snivy, but her mother wouldn't let him be with her. It seemed that everything continued as it was before, after Serperior saw them kissing each other; but something said to him that was in the past. Serperior might have changed her mind about it. Now she was more positive in regard to Oshawott. Maybe it was his opportunity to ask her if she could be with her daughter. If she said no, the otter was going to understand and would stop treating Snivy like a girlfriend, she would be his Pal and friend, as if it was after meeting for the first time. The otter had the courage that he needed to face his fears to tell it to the Regal Pokémon. It would be risky, but he would try after all. The water type hoped that she allowed that he is with his Snivy, and if not, he would continue being his friend and Pal since the first moment that they met.
