"Liya, you really need to reflect on yourself this time. I've told you many times before. If you eat three bowls of rice, you will become so fat that you can't even run."

Parker seemed to have really transformed into Emilia's old father, educating her with a serious face.

"Yes, I'm really sorry..."

Facing Parker's earnest teachings, Emilia, who was already guilty, could not dare to refute. It was not until she hurriedly assured Parker that she would double her exercise today that Parker was willing to spare her life temporarily.

"..."

"Hey! Brother, what's that look in your eyes? Figure management is a top priority for girls."

Noticing Nanxiang Yun's slightly speechless eyes, Parker wanted to pull Nanxiang Yun's ears on the spot and tell him how important body management is for girls.

It's pity that it's an old father who worries about Liya all day long, and now he still has to be treated coldly.

Alas, the world is deteriorating and people's hearts are not as old as they used to be...

"Only you, the cat who stole Emilia's snacks, are the least qualified to say this. Forget it..." Looking at Parker, who had his hands folded across his chest and suddenly began to shake his head and fall into an emo state, Nanxiang Yun sighed silently. . "To put it bluntly, I was more stupid because I thought Emilia would kill that guard in a rage."

"Eh? Kill that guard? Why? He didn't do anything sorry for me, right?"

Emilia tilted her head and looked at Nanxiang Yun doubtfully.

"Don't look at me like that, I beg you, I feel like my conscience is being condemned."

"Isn't it quite—okay?"

Before Nan Xiangyun could be embarrassed for too long, Roswaal's voice came from the door of the restaurant.

I saw that he had taken off his original gorgeous dress and put on more formal mage decorations, but his funny clown makeup was still painted on his face.

Roswaal came directly behind Nanxiang Yun and put a hand on the back of the chair.

"After such a commotion, Lady Emilia feels a little more relaxed now. At least she doesn't have to worry about her forgetting what to say later because of her nervousness. In terms of the result, it's a good thing for us. .”

"Tsk, you have been hiding outside the door and watching since the beginning. Don't think that you will not be discovered if you deliberately keep silent."

"Hahaha, the time is coming soon - it's almost time for us to set off -"

Roswaal easily avoided Nanxiang Yun's questioning by saying haha ​​and quickly diverted everyone's attention.

Sure enough, after hearing that they were about to set off, Emilia fell silent again.

Then, she muttered something in her mouth, clenched her fists and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the original confusion in her blue-purple eyes had been completely replaced by determination.

"Well, let's go to the royal capital."

Thank you, it’s really nice to have privacy.jpg

Chapter 222 The rest of the king’s electors

The luxurious dragon carriage quickly traveled through the streets of Lugnica Kingdom, and soon arrived at the royal city and entered the royal capital from the front.

"I've been waiting for a long time. Lady Emilia, please come with me."

After the dragon chariot stopped, a heavily armed guard saluted Emilia and led the way ahead before Nango Yun and the others could react.

Seeing this, Nanxiang Yun, who was dressed in casual clothes, jumped down from the dragon carriage.

Originally, he planned to change into slightly more formal clothes for such a formal occasion, but he canceled the idea after seeing that Roswaal was still wearing the same clown makeup.

Follow the guards through the splendid passages filled with murals and artworks.

Then, as if to demonstrate the majesty and oppression of the royal family, a gate so big that one had to look up to see it stood at the end of the road.

"The other two King Chosen ones have been waiting inside for a long time. Please come in as soon as possible."

After saying that, the guard stepped aside, leaving the rest of the road ahead to them.

His movement also allowed Nanxiang Yun to see the entire room inside.

The walls are richly decorated and sparkling.

Luxurious chandeliers hang from the soaring ceilings.

A scene that was countless times more luxurious than the palace Nanxiang Yun had seen in TV dramas appeared before his eyes.

Looking further inside along the red-carpeted floor, at the end of the line of sight, there are seats on a high platform in the deepest part of the room.

The seat clustered in the center looks much more luxurious than the other seats at first glance. The red seat with the dragon-patterned wall behind it is the throne of this country.

"Let's go."

Emilia looked solemn, and after leaving these words, she took the lead in taking off her silver boots and walked toward the front of the hall.

Nango Yun and Roswaal tacitly followed each other half a step behind and surrounded him on the left and right in the center.

The moment they stepped into the hall from the main entrance.

Originally standing on both sides of the hall, the heavily armed guards and the country's civil servants all turned their attention.

These people are the civil and military officials in the Lugnica Kingdom. On such an important day, it is natural that they all need to be present.

However, after seeing clearly Emilia's silver hair and pointed ears that represented the elf, they all frowned in unison.

The next second, all kinds of complicated eyes including hatred, disgust, disapproval were poured on Nanxiang Yun and the others.

When these people who usually symbolize bravery and loyalty see Emilia's face, it is like a bully meeting the bullied in school. No matter whether the starting point is reasonable or not, they just want to vent the dissatisfaction accumulated in their hearts through these sights. come out.

At this moment, Nango Yun, who was standing with Emilia, truly experienced the malice that Emilia suffered for no reason in her life.

It is no exaggeration to say that Emilia has been able to withstand this pressure and grow up to this point. Her heart may be stronger than Nango Yun thought.

After all, are there few examples in this world of people being bullied to the point of committing suicide?What's more, Emilia participated in the King's Selection despite suffering nearly the entire world's malice.

The lovely Miliya seemed to have long been accustomed to the dislike of the people around her. Despite everyone's gaze, she just frowned slightly, and then came to the front of the high platform and stood in the center of the red carpet with an indifferent expression.

There, besides Emilia, there were two people waiting there early.

One is a nobleman wearing a black military uniform.

One is a girl wearing a white dress.

"It's so slow. How long do you want the Lun family to wait before they are satisfied? With this time, the Lun family might as well go back and make more money."

Seeing Emilia arrive, wearing a white dress, the petite girl put down the purple wavy hair that she had been playing with, and complained dissatisfiedly in a Kansai accent.

She was not hostile to Emilia like the rest of the country, but simply expressed her dissatisfaction with Emilia for keeping her waiting for so long.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that this girl must be a kind person because she does not discriminate against the silver-haired half-elf on the surface.

As long as you carefully observe the girl's eyes when she speaks, you will find that there is nothing but calculation in the girl's blue eyes.

The girl's name is Anastasia Hessin, and she is an orphan born in the city-state of Kalalaki.

Anastasia, who was born at a lower level, never gave in to the terrible status quo. Instead, she relied on her extraordinary mind to build a large chamber of commerce in the Kalalaki City-Republic.

His legendary experience of counterattack at the bottom level can even be written into a popular book today.

After experiencing so many things, Anastasia always looks at everything around her with the eyes of a businessman in her daily life.

When to say something that will benefit her, and when to win over the other person, Anastasia's soft appearance often hides such calculations.

In fact, this meeting requires all the King's Chosen people to be present before it can start. As long as Emilia is not the last one to arrive, it has nothing to do with the girl whether she comes sooner or later.

The reason why Anastasia complained to Emilia was because she was used to having all the conditions in her hands. She wanted to use this method to make Emilia feel guilty and take the initiative to tell her what she had done before coming to the royal capital. It’s just an itinerary.

"Indeed, for such an important occasion, in order to prevent unnecessary accidents, you should arrive half an hour in advance to start preparations."

At this time, the green-haired girl in military uniform standing next to Anastasia also nodded and expressed her opinion.

However, compared to Anastasia, her tone seemed more sincere and proud, which made people understand that she was indeed giving Emilia advice out of good intentions.

Curius Karsten.

This is the name of a girl in military uniform.

In the Lugnica Kingdom, this name is known to everyone.

The Karlsten family has been loyal to the Lugnica royal family for generations and has been given the position of duke. In the current situation of the country where the royal bloodline has been cut off, the Karlsten family is the nobles closest to the royal class.

And this girl named Crusch Karsten took over the responsibility from the previous head of the family when she was only 17 years old and became the current head of the Karsten family.

His outstanding abilities also allowed Crusch to accumulate a considerable degree of fame in the Lugnika Kingdom.

What happened to a businessman from the Kalaraki City-State Republic and a noble from the Lugnika Kingdom that made these two unrelated people stand side by side with Emilia now?

There is no other reason. Apart from their identities as merchants and nobles, both Curio and Anastasia have a common identity - the Dragon Miko of the Lugnica Kingdom. In other words, they are both Lugnica. Candidate for the throne of Nika Kingdom.

Chapter 223 The assembled knights

Facing Crusch and Anastasia's suggestions, before Emilia had time to speak, another voice sounded at the door first. "It is my advantage to make ordinary people wait, but it is absolutely unforgivable to do the opposite." The condescending tone immediately made Nanxiang Yun recognize the owner of the voice.Priscilla walked out of the door with her head held high and Al behind her.Priscilla's defiant attitude made Cruxiu frown slightly, and his slender amber eyes stared in the direction Priscilla came from. "Even if we are competitors, we should arrive on time on such occasions. Being late will only make us doubt your character." The education he received since childhood made Curio very strict both to himself and to others. In terms of personality, Generally speaking, she is the one who doesn't get along with Priscilla the most among everyone here. "I'm sorry, my sword suddenly disappeared when I went out today. It took me a while to find him, and wasn't the meeting time set at 1 o'clock on the sun? It shouldn't be there yet." Kurxiu As soon as the words fell here, Al immediately spoke out in defense.Anyone can tell that Al is lying. Most warriors who can come to this place will not forget their swords even if they forget to wear clothes. For them, the so-called sword is their second article. life.But since Al had given him a step up, there was no need for Curxiu to get too quarrelsome with Priscilla's camp, so he nodded and told him to be careful next time, thus debunking the matter.But Priscilla obviously wouldn't accept Al's kindness just like that. "Hey, Al, since you are my follower, you don't need to explain what you did to anyone except me." "Spare me, princess. It's really embarrassing to keep making enemies before the King's Selection begins. It's very troublesome for me." "You wouldn't say such depressing words as fear, right? So what if you are hostile to everyone? Don't you know how to think of something?" "One or two are fine, but against everyone There is absolutely nothing we can do, especially if there is a sword master among them. I can't even last a minute fighting this kind of monster." While Al was still bickering with Priscilla, Nanxiang Yun moved his steps and came to a red-haired young man among the guards who smiled brightly in their direction and asked softly: "Hey, Reinhardt, where is Felt? Why didn't she show up this time?" According to Nan Xiang Yun and Emilia's guess is that the purpose of gathering the King's Selectors this time is to announce the official start of the King's Selection.Felt should also be present, but apart from Reinhardt who declared his allegiance to Felt, there was no trace of that girl in the hall. "Sir Felt had an accident. He should be here later, but..." Reinhardt, who was spoken to by Nango Yun, recalled Felt's breakfast, and his hearty smile could not help but become stiff. After a while, he hesitated for a while, and then said to Nanxiang Yun with some embarrassment: "Sir Felute has been very angry with you these days. I hope you won't blame Mr. Felut too much later." "?" Nanxiang Yun He glanced at Reinhardt in confusion. Although he was the one who persuaded Felt to follow Reinhardt, even if something happened later, it should be out of resentment towards Reinhardt. What does it have to do with him? , but it scared Reinhardt to use 'you'. Felt must be really unhappy with him.Is it possible that Felt already knows that he is participating in the King's Selection on behalf of Emilia's camp? "The situation may be different from what you think now. In short, you will know when you meet Lord Felut..." Reinhardt also knew Felut, so he said with some helplessness. "Hey! Little brother." At this time, an energetic voice sounded from Nan Xiangyun's right ear, and Felix was seen sneaking over from behind Curxiu at some point. "Long time no see, do you remember me? We met Meow in Roswaal Mansion before." Felix pointed at his soft face, a hint of cunning flashed in his pupils. "Well, Felix Argyle is a male. He has the title of [Blue], the pinnacle of water attribute magic, and he is also the youngest recipient of this title, right?" Nanxiang Yun also emphasized the importance of 'male' Pronunciation. "Hmm, has it been discovered? It's a pity that I can't see my surprised expression when I know that Felix-chan is a male." When Nango Yun noticed his intention, Felix stuck out his tongue in embarrassment. "Then let me introduce myself again. I am a knight belonging to Lord Crusch, Felix of the Argyle family... Having said that, just call me Felix-chan Felix, nya." "Nan Xiangyun, in terms of identity, I can be regarded as Emilia's acting knight for the time being." Faced with Felix who had gathered his mood and started to introduce himself again, Nanxiangyun nodded in response. "Acting knight?" "Because I am not a knight myself, but I am responding to this call in the name of a knight of Emilia. If Emilia finds a knight who is more in line with her wishes, I will have to step down from this position. "Yeah." While speaking, Nanxiang Yun suddenly thought of something interesting, and said to Felix with a smile: "Speaking of which, it is thanks to you that I will attend this time as a member of the Emilia camp. Meeting." "Because Felix-chan, nya? Didn't Felix-chan meet my little brother once that day?" Felix pointed his finger on his lips, looking quite cute.This assumes that he is a male. "It was just that chance encounter. You must have included me in Emilia's camp at that time. At this time, if I randomly ran into the territories of other King's Chosen camps, I would probably be misunderstood. I'm an undercover agent sent over for Emilia, so I have no choice but to come and meet you as a member of Emilia's camp." Of course, not all of this passage was made up by Nango Yun, at least Parker said The starting point of Nango Yun's invitation was because Felix regarded him as a member of Emilia's camp when he was inquiring about the information. "What a pity. I originally planned to invite you to join Lord Felt the next time I see you. You got along well with Lord Felt the last time we met, and she had the intention to invite you before. , now they can only be regarded as political opponents." Reinhardt interjected with some regret. "Eh?! Wait! I'm actually the one Reinhardt wants to invite, nya?!" Reinhardt's attitude immediately made Felix's eyes widen and he said in a panic.No wonder.After all, he was Reinhardt who was restricted from going abroad because he was too strong.Even the person he wanted to invite... "Gu... Felicity-chan, did you get into trouble this time and will be blamed by Crusch-sama?" The thought came to his mind that he had done bad things with good intentions and was blamed by Crusch. Xiu scolded the future, and the cat ears on Felix's head drooped in frustration.

Chapter 224 Provocation?

"Is this the person you mentioned to us before?"

The purple-haired man who had been standing beside Reinhardt finally couldn't help but speak out when he heard Reinhardt's description of Nango Yun.

While speaking, although the other party had an elegant smile on his face, his eyes were constantly scrutinizing Nanxiang Yun.

"Ah, let me introduce to you, this is..."

"No, Reinhardt, it would be too rude to ask someone else to help you introduce yourself."

The purple-haired man interrupted Reinhardt's introduction, then opened his right hand and placed the palm of his hand toward his chest in front of his heart.

"I am Yurius Euclius, and I belong to the Knights of the Guards of the Kingdom of Lugnica, but I am currently serving as the chief knight of Lady Anastasia. I just cast an impolite look at you. Sorry, I have heard about it from Reinhardt, but as expected, you can’t believe it until you see it with your own eyes.”

Following Yurius' words, the atmosphere became visibly tense.

What could Reinhardt say to Yurius.

According to Reinhardt's character, Felt's matter will never be publicized before it is officially announced.

Then, all he could talk to Yurius about was the previous battle with Nango Yun.

That’s what Yurius meant when he expressed doubts about this matter.

"Can I understand that you want to find time to discuss with me later?"
