Anything You Want

Coupled with his upright appearance, he looks like a depressed and gloomy beautiful young man.

The different eye colors of left yellow and right blue vividly reinforce that impression.

If it weren't for that weird outfit and the face makeup that was a clown.

The clown had just stepped into the restaurant, and Emilia and Parker, who had changed their clothes, also followed.

"Oh-ah-? It's so strange that Beatrice is here. Isn't it a pleasure to finally want to dine with me after this--long time?" The clown who stepped into the restaurant, just quickly Glancing at Noel, he didn't keep staring at it.

Directly ignoring it, Beatrice turned her gaze to behind the Joker, and her gaze fell on Parker who was on Emilia's shoulder.

She got up like a bounce, and Beatrice shook her long skirt and ran over, with a smile like a blooming flower, full of cute charm that made people forget the arrogance of the girl so far.

"elder sister!"

"Yo, Betty. I haven't seen you in four days. Have you been a good-natured dignified lady?"

"I'm looking forward to my sister's return, let's live together today."

"Well, no problem, it's been a long time since I've been like this, let's spend a leisurely time together today."

"Wow, great!"

Jumping off Emilia's shoulder, Parker landed on Beatrice's outstretched palm and hugged Parker lovingly. Beatrice spun happily on the spot.

Holding Parker in both hands, Beatrice rubbed her little face, showing a happy smile.

Seeing Parker and Beatrice joking, Emilia smiled and walked slowly towards Noel.

The clown also followed, seeing Noel couldn't sit all the time, it would be very rude, so he could only get up from his seat.

"I am the owner of this house, Roswaal L. Mezzas—yes."

"Ah ah ah ah-ah, I've heard Emilia-sama say it before, thank you very much for helping--yet, Mr. Noel."

Originally, Emilia wanted to introduce Noel, but a perverted noble dressed as a clown, so cheeky and refreshing, declared his name, and at the same time thanked Noel for his help.

Out of courtesy, Noel also introduced himself.

Next, Roswaal, the owner of the house, warmly greeted everyone to sit down, chatting while waiting for Ram and Rem to put all the food on the table.

It didn't take long for Ram and Rem to prepare everything and stand behind Roswaal.

When they started to enjoy lunch, everyone did not chat, and quietly tasted the food in front of them.

This is table manners. It is forbidden to chat during meals. Otherwise, it is very polite to the cook. Without this etiquette, it will fail in important scenes.

Nuoer, who has watched anime, certainly won't be as unruly and annoying as 469. Although he will feel very unaccustomed, he still endures not opening his mouth and maintains a good image.

All in all, from the beginning to the end of the meal, no one said a word.

"Mr. Noel, do you know what's going on in the Kingdom of Lugnica?" At the end of the meal, Roswaal took the lead to break the silence.

"Did something bad happen?" Hearing this, Noel turned his head to look at Roswaal, pretending to be puzzled.

"It's not a very stable state, after all—after all, the current Lugnica "has no king"." Said, Roswaal stared at Noel, observing his every move.

"As for whether there is a king, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me." Noel shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"There's no need to worry, because it's already a serious fact known to everyone in the market."

"However, the important thing is..."

"Sir Emilia is one of the candidates for the 'King Candidate'."

"Further—additionally, at this time, the reason for contacting Emilia-sama is to have a relationship with the Mezas family. Although it is all environmental evidence, as long as there is that meaning, this alone is enough... …”

Roswaal closed his eyes, put his hand in the posture of a knife, and pressed it against his neck to show the appearance of beheading.

"That's it, I understand."

"In other words, this kingdom was caught in a chaotic storm of king selection because there was no king, and because of this, the relationship with other countries was narrowed and the country was locked. At this time, a mysterious foreigner appeared. I am super suspicious no matter how you look at it, right? ."

"you...."

Noel was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"I didn't want to lie to you." Noel's words were a little cold, and Emilia quickly explained.

"I'm not angry, Emilia is as gentle as an angel." No longer cold, Noel smiled again.

"...Sigh, let's go straight to the topic." With a trace of redness left on her face, Emilia clapped her hands to guide the atmosphere.

"Okay—alright, although I'm off—to the wrong path that doesn't feel—wrong, but let's get to the topic—let's go."

"Dragon is the symbol of Lugnica, and it is so important that it calls itself the "Pro-Dragon Kingdom Lugnica". There are images of dragons everywhere on the city walls and weapons. Among them, this emblem is the most important."

"Eligibility for the King's Choice Participant - This badge is a touchstone used to confirm whether the holder is fit to sit on the throne of Lugnica." ..

Chapter 23 What's the Difference?

"The so-called king is the person who bears the kingdom. It would be absurd if the person who is to bear such a heavy responsibility cannot even protect a small badge, it will make people unable to imagine why he should entrust the country to this person— Bar."

“So—so, if you lose your badge—it’s not just an apology, that—there’s no doubt about that.”

Hearing Roswaal's words, Feirut, who was standing behind Noel, bowed her head in shame. She didn't expect the consequences of the matter to be so serious. She was full of apologies to Emilia and decided to find a time to apologize properly.

"Well, that's it. Noel is a big benefactor to me, so just speak up." Looking at Noel, Emilia looked serious, not wanting Noel to refuse again.
