I love time travel the most!

Upon hearing this, the previously relaxed palace hall was filled with a sense of urgency that made it impossible for anyone to remain calm.

What ignited the fuse was an arrogant young girl who knew no fear and held her head high.

—Priscilla.

"You mean to say that history has turned."

“You are right, Lady Priscilla.”

In response to Priscilla's calm question, the knight commander on the platform received a signal from behind, bowed, and called out to someone below:

"—Knight, Reinhard van Astreya! Step forward!"

"To!"

As if waiting for a response from Reinhard, who was called upon at any moment, he stepped forward with dignity, bowed to the four candidates, and then stood in front of the Knight Commander on the platform.

"Then, Reinhard, report!"

"Yes!"

Reinhard stepped forward and, under everyone's gaze, faced the Sages' Guild with an expression that showed absolutely no imposing manner.

"My lords, please allow me, Reinhard, of the Royal Guard, to report on the completion of my mission."

"Yes, make sure everyone hears it."

Upon hearing the council's instructions, Reinhard turned around and looked at everyone in the palace hall.

"The Dragon Maiden, the King's Candidate—the final fifth person—has been found!"

A commotion began to spread among the knights, and the expressions of the candidates echoed each other, their intense expressions constantly shifting.

Fighting spirit, joy, boredom, doubt.

The stagnant royal selection process is about to begin. A new candidate will become the opponent of others. Just who will it be?

"Please enter!"

Reinhardt gave a brief call.

The guard who heard the voice saluted, and then the door slowly opened. From the other side of the door, a person accompanied by Liu Zi was ushered into the palace hall.

When Natsuki Subaru saw that person, his mouth dropped open.

A girl in a pale yellow dress, her high heels swaying as she stepped onto the velvet carpet, her meticulously styled, shimmering golden hair. She possessed strong-willed red eyes and a distinctive, mischievous fang.

"He himself is a person who is respected as a king."

—Her name is Ferute.

Chapter 374 Felt: My turn, Steal!

The little girl was radiant at that moment.

Following Reinhard's declaration, Felt, accompanied by Ryuzu, walked quietly on the crimson carpet between the thrones, her dress hem remaining perfectly in place as she moved forward, like a noble lady.

She was originally a royal descendant, so Kobayashi could easily shout:

The three-year period has come to an end. Welcome back, Dragon Priestess!

Unfortunately, he wasn't a knight, and Reinhard would never do something so bizarre.

Emilia and Subaru Natsuki were also stunned.

Based on their impression of Felt, she was just a little girl who was struggling to survive in the slums wearing tattered clothes. But now she appeared in the royal palace hall looking radiant and was even a candidate for the throne, which really shocked them.

This can no longer be described as the ugly duckling turning into a swan; it's a phoenix leaping from a branch into a phoenix!

Thanks to Kobayashi and Reinhard's guidance, the little girl is now dazzling, and the old men on the stage nodded in approval. Regardless of her inner qualities, at least her appearance is comparable to the other royal candidates.

But soon, the old men in the council realized just how unruly the newly emerged fifth candidate for the throne was.

"Lady Ferute, thank you for your hard work."

Seeing that she hadn't made a fool of herself or messed up, Reinhard smiled with gratitude and bowed respectfully.

"—Reinhard."

"Yes."

The swordsman, who responded to being called by a cold voice, looked up and his gaze met that of the young lady.

Then, the little girl lifted the hem of her dress and kicked her leg cleanly, and her little foot was caught.

Balancing on one leg, Felt roughly yanked at her dress and shouted angrily, "You were dragged here without any explanation! What the hell do you want?!"

"That's the question I should be asking you."

"Don't act like nothing happened! What's going on with this outfit and these people?! I'm almost at my limit!"

Is the dress not to your liking?

"I wasn't talking about clothes! No, not just clothes! You too! Whether it's this or that, all this random stuff is being dumped on you at once, it's so annoying! Is it really necessary?!"

"If it's for the prosperity of the kingdom."

Reinhardt, unusually, did not back down.

Faced with the knight's assertion, the little girl sighed and rubbed her forehead as if she had a headache.

I didn't tell her what I was going to do this morning. Even though I sensed that something big was going to happen, she still obediently followed me after being coaxed by Reinhard and comforted by Kobayashi.

Even she felt a little scared when she arrived at the solemn and majestic palace.

On the other side, Subaru Natsuki felt relieved, whether it was for Felt's safety or her unchanging irritable personality. Indeed, the essence of humanity cannot be easily changed.

Emilia, the little girl, was the same way; she clearly didn't expect that the relationship between them, who were fighting for the badge, would evolve into a struggle for the throne.

No matter what, the leap is too large.

The other candidate knights and mages who were attending the ceremony for the first time also showed corresponding reactions, but this time they were negative.

Because such rude and unruly behavior was the last thing that should have been present in the palace hall. Moreover, the fact that Felt attacked Reinhard only amplified everyone's displeasure.

Feeling the stern gaze directed at her, Ferut clicked her tongue in disapproval.

the other side.

"Hmph hmph hmph~~~ So that's how it is. So that's why you became a court mage, Kobayashi~~~"

The deliberately drawn-out tone rang in my ears.

Roswaal appeared beside him without him even noticing.

The interaction between Reinhard and Felt just now has already explained a lot.

For example, Felt was the fifth candidate for the royal selection, Reinhard was her knight, and Kobayashi became a court mage to develop his power, as well as for reasons such as refusing to become the second-in-command.

This old fellow has lived for four hundred years; when it comes to scheming, no one can compare to him.

Faced with the probing of the strongest sixth brother, Kobayashi naturally could not reveal any information. Just as he was about to make an excuse to evade the question, he heard a question from a little girl of noble status.

"Reinhard, where is the teacher?"

"Are you looking for Kobayashi? He's over there."

He strolled around the palace hall as if savoring its grandeur, and when he spotted Kobayashi at the very front of the Magisters' Guild at Reinhard's signal, his expression brightened.

Snapped--

I couldn't help but slap my forehead.

With a meaningful smile from Roswaal and a nod from Reinhard, he waved helplessly at Felt.

"What's with that expression? And... what are you doing over there?"

“I sincerely hope that you, Felt, will spare me for now. Besides, unlike Reinhard, who is a knight, this is my place as a mage.”

"...Tsk, I get it."

Hearing Xiaolin deliberately emphasize the word, the little girl, who had spent more time with him, immediately reacted, stopping her attempt to approach him while clicking her tongue in annoyance.

But soon, she spotted another person.

It's Subaru Natsuki on the left.

His eyes lit up as he wanted to go over and chat, but then, remembering how he had been stopped earlier, he simply greeted them from where he stood.

"Long time no see, young man. How have you been?"

"I must say, thanks to Lord Felt's care, I've been doing quite well."

Natsuki Subaru scratched his head.

He thought the other person would rush over recklessly, but to his surprise, they just greeted him very restrainedly. It seems that their restrained demeanor has changed somewhat.

The knight commander watching from the platform gestured with his hand and said, "Lord Felt. Although it is nice to reconnect with an old friend, please come this way."

Seeing her serious expression, Felt frowned and looked at Kobayashi, who nodded slightly. Even so, she was still somewhat reluctant.

"Speak, what do you want me to do?"

"Although I would like to ask you to behave in a ladylike manner, please take this first."

Reinhard placed a dragon emblem in the little girl's palm.

The next second, a flash of light appeared.

Ferut raised an eyebrow and said, "When I stole it, I wondered if it was a rare gem, but I never expected it to glow."

"steal?!"

"This is because the dragon has acknowledged that Lord Felt is qualified."

The Knight Commander extracted the key information and, without giving the other party a chance to ask further questions, Reinhard skillfully filtered out the information that Felt had inadvertently let slip.

"That's right. Dragon Ball has indeed recognized Lady Felt as a priestess, so it seems that the royal selection has truly begun."

The knight commander placed his hands on his chest and bent over, and Reinhard and the other knights did the same.

The knights who were giving their report explained that it was thanks to their efforts that the five Dragon Maidens were present. In other words, the future Queen Lugnica would be chosen from among them.

That's why it's said to be a day when history turns.

As the saying goes, everyone must have felt the impact of this major event that we couldn't escape, and it evoked deep emotions in us.
