Emilia would naturally not refuse such a small favor.

However, the blonde, red-eyed girl looked at him with disdain.

"This thing almost belonged to me and Grandpa Rom, I don't want to pick it up again."

Seeing Felt's vehement refusal, the upright knight was in a dilemma.

After all, if things were really as he thought, then forcing Felt would be a violation of chivalry and a disrespect to his lord!

Therefore, the upright knight could only give the badge in his hand to Emilia.

At that moment, Bai Zhe's voice came from behind the four of them.

"No need to try anymore. After seeing her appearance, don't you understand? This child is one of only two members of the Lugnica royal family."

Bai Zhe, having finished talking with Edwards, brought him and the tired Dragon Girl here.

Upon hearing this, Reinhard immediately realized what was happening and asked Bai Zhe, "Only two bloodlines? That means there's another one. Please tell me where this person is, Master?"

Hearing Reinhardt's words, Bai Zhe smiled as if he had heard a joke and asked the righteous knight with a delighted expression, "Another one in the Witch Cult, and one of the Archbishops of Sin. Are you sure you want to bring such a person back to Lugnica?"

Faced with Bai Zhe's question, Reinhard naturally fell silent.

After all, the Witch Cult is notorious and hated by everyone on this continent, and every Archbishop of Sin in the Witch Cult is a ruthless demon who kills without blinking an eye!

....0 0

If such a person were actually brought back to Lugnica, the reputation of the entire kingdom would be ruined on the mainland.

Reinhard's sense of justice as a knight naturally wouldn't allow him to do that!

Meanwhile, Edwards, who had been studying Ferut for a short while, also spoke up.

"This one does indeed bear a resemblance to the previous Lugnica."

Although she found her identity unbelievable, Felt was still somewhat afraid of being stared at like that by the legendary sword god.

At this time, Crusch, who had been assigning people to rescue and question the surviving poor people, also returned here.

Upon seeing the various expressions on the faces of the crowd, a look of curiosity immediately appeared on her handsome and spirited face.

"Teachers, what are you talking about? It's so lively!"

Upon hearing this, the pure white Valkyrie placed her delicate hand on Felt's little head, gently patting it as she said to Crusch, "We're discussing whether this child is a descendant of Lugnica."

"Royal bloodline? This feature does resemble it, but if we want to prove it, let's use this one."

As she spoke, Crusch pulled out a badge from her pocket that was exactly the same as the one Emilia was holding.

This time, Ferut clearly had no choice but to comply.

After receiving the Royal Selection Badge, under everyone's gaze, the badge in Felt's hand emitted a red light—the blood of the divine dragon within the badge responding to the chosen one qualified to inherit the throne!

Upon seeing the red light emanating from the badge in Felt's hand, Emilia showed a surprised expression, while Crusch's gaze turned scrutinizing.

Reinhard even placed his hand directly on his heart and knelt down on one knee before the blonde, red-eyed girl.

"You really are... no, I should now address you as Your Highness."

"Knight Reinhard van Astreah greets Your Highness."

But Ferut did not accept this result.

"What are you doing! What princess? I've lived in the slums since I was a child, how could I possibly be royalty?!"

She struggled to survive in the slums since childhood, often going hungry. If it weren't for Grandpa Rom's care, she might not be alive today.

She has now grown accustomed to this life, but someone has told her that she is one of only two members of the royal family and a princess of noble birth.

If this were an ordinary person, they would be overjoyed and accept their new identity as if they had won a huge lottery prize.

But Ferut was different; the girl was unwilling to accept this identity.

After all, if this identity were acknowledged, wouldn't the significance of her past life be negated?!

And now that the kingdom has remembered her as a princess, why did they abandon her in the slums in the first place?

Ferut now has a complete loathing for the royal family!

Upon seeing this, Reinhard immediately advised, "How can this be? As a member of the royal family, Lady Felt has an obligation to participate in the royal selection."

In the upright mind of this knight, the royal family should fulfill its royal duties and govern the country well.

Bai Zhe, who was watching the show from the sidelines, had a pleasant smile on his face.

However, Ferut refused to participate in the royal selection no matter what she said.

"Not participating means not participating."

After returning the Royal Selection Badge to Crusch, he prepared to turn around and leave with Cromwell.

At that moment, Crusch spoke.

"Your identity has been exposed. If you leave like this, you will face a lot of trouble."

"And it will also implicate the old man next to you."

Upon hearing this, Ferut, who had just turned to leave, immediately stopped and turned back to look at her with a face full of anger.

Seeing this, Crusch didn't care about Felt's angry glare at her at all. Instead, she said with considerable confidence, "Although I would like to eliminate an opponent here, it would be a bit underhanded to use such methods."

At this moment, Emilia also spoke up to persuade her, "Even the chosen ones can change the current situation of many people. I am doing this to change the current situation of demi-humans in Lugnica. What about your dream, Miss Felt?"

When they entered the slums, Emilia was deeply worried about the conditions. If a chosen one were to emerge from here, things would probably be better...

It seems that this place has been completely reduced to scorched earth because of Bai Zhe's two battles.

So after she finished speaking, the silver-haired half-elf girl looked somewhat embarrassed.

Crusch, who was standing to the side, looked at her with some surprise upon seeing this.

"You actually persuaded your enemy to participate in the royal selection? I grew up to defeat her and prove my strength. What is your purpose, Miss Emilia?"

The innocent silver-haired half-elf girl naturally shared the same thoughts as Crusch.

"me too."

This answer, along with the earnest expression on the girl's face, made Crusch look at Emilia in a different light. He then bowed his head and apologized to her:

"It seems I underestimated you before. I apologize for my past arrogance."

"Eh? This...this won't be necessary."

Emilia, who had never seen anyone bow their head to her like this before, waved her arms nervously.

But Crusch's next words stunned the panic on her face.

"Therefore, I will now devote my utmost attention to dealing with you, my enemy!"

As Crusch finished speaking, Theresa brought a luxurious dragon carriage from the Astrea family and drove two earth dragons back here.

Seeing this, Bai Zhe's face showed a bored expression.

"The show is over."

He then extended an invitation to Emilia, who was still stunned by Crusch's words: "Emilia, do you have a place to stay in the royal city? Would you like to come with me?"

Emilia hesitated when faced with Bai Zhe's invitation.

"This... I haven't repaid your kindness yet, and now... and going to the Sword God's house... I..."

Seeing the girl's coy and hesitant expression, Bai Zhe took the half-elf's hand.

"What do you mean 'I'? Just come with me. Parker told me to take good care of you before he left."

Bai Zhe's words completely blocked Emilia's escape route, leaving the silver-haired half-elf girl with no choice but to express her gratitude to the Demon King once again.

"Then please."

Immediately afterwards, Emilia boarded the dragon carriage with Bai Zhe.

Upon seeing this, Crusch's face showed a thoughtful expression.

She couldn't help but feel that her master was a scumbag...

Just as Theresa was about to drive away in her dragon carriage, Ferut blocked her way.

"Please wait a moment."

Felt's actions caught even Rom, who was beside her, off guard. Reinhard, though he reacted initially, was momentarily stunned by Felt's sudden move...

After the girl stopped Theresa's dragon carriage, he hurriedly came up behind her.

Seeing this, Theresa did not scold Felt. Instead, she gently educated her, saying, "Little girl, blocking the dragon carriage is a very dangerous thing. You shouldn't do it next time."

"If you have any requests, please tell me, and I will do my best to help you."

Although she can't help everyone, she can certainly help a little girl.

Because she had just returned, Theresa was unaware that Felt was one of only two members of the royal bloodline in Lugnica.

Upon hearing this, Felt was surprised by Theresa's gentle tone, assuming that she was like other nobles, angry because her path was blocked.

After silently apologizing to Theresia, Felt revealed the reason for blocking the road.

"I am the chosen one, please take me and Lord Rom away from here."

"Huh?! The Chosen One?"

Upon hearing this, Theresa looked at Reinhard and then at Crusch, receiving an affirmative answer from their eyes.

But Theresa did not make the decision on her own. She knew her teacher's temperament and did not show any courtesy to the previous King of Lugnica!

At this moment, Bai Zhe's voice came from inside the dragon carriage.

"You joined the royal selection hoping to gain the Sword God's support?"

“That’s right, you can do anything in my name.”

Upon hearing this, Ferut naturally nodded.

After all, if participating in the Royal Selection requires the support of 4.0 people, why not choose the legendary Sword God?!

In response to the girl's answer, Bai Zhe asked again, "Want to get on the bus? Sure. Want to gain the support of the Sword God? Sure. But what price are you willing to pay?"

Although Felt currently has nothing but her identity, she replied with considerable courage: "Everything you want!"

As the girl finished speaking, Bai Zhe's voice rang out again.

"Then you can do it yourself."

"But only you can get on the train; you'll have to take care of the other person, Reinhard."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired swordsman nodded and went to Cromwell's side, preparing to take him to the Astrea family.

As Crusch watched Theresa's dragon-drawn carriage depart, he became certain of one thing.

Her master was a scumbag who fell in love with every woman he met.

And what's even more amazing is that he also has a wife who's obsessed with love!

On the dragon carriage, Bai Zhe sat facing the curtain. Ai Ke sat next to him, but quickly fell asleep, nestled in the Demon King's arms, gently biting her thumb and breathing evenly.

This adorable, childlike appearance surprised Emilia and Felt, who were standing nearby.

She had no desire to compare her current self with the Holy Dragon Emperor who had just displayed his divine power.

Across from the two girls, Edelweiss remained calm, but her gaze never left Bai Zhe for even a second.

Even so, being in this small space with the legendary sword god made Emilia and Felt feel both honored and hesitant.

As they entered the city, because Theresa was driving, they traveled without hindrance at the city gates or inside the city, which was under martial law due to the commotion in the slums. The dragon did not slow down at all before arriving at Edelweiss's mansion, which rivaled that of a duke's estate.

As the group felt the dragon carriage slow down and eventually come to a stop, they knew they had arrived at their destination.
