However, during this process, the noise from the Demon King and the witches disturbed Eiko, and the unsightly scene in the room almost made the Holy Dragon Emperor go berserk.

Fortunately, the Demon King sacrificed himself to serve the dragon, which kept the castle safe and sound. In return, Eiko could only sleep on her stomach.

The next morning, after having breakfast, Bai Zhe led the witches away from the border castle.

There were only five of us when we arrived, and the dragon cart could still accommodate us.

When they were brought back, in addition to Eiko, Elsa, and Theresa, there were eight witches, one archel, one beast tamer, and one half-elf.

Ryuzu was forcibly dragged along by Tribes.

And Frederica, the demi-human maid who gave everything to the Demon King in order to save her brother's life.

With more than enough people to fit in one dragon carriage, and the witches who had fought together all night unwilling to separate, Bai Zhe had to summon Fafnir to carry everyone back to the capital.

Looking at the black dot on the horizon, Emilia touched her chest, feeling an unusual chill in the air and an emptiness in her heart as if something was missing.

Puck, who had guessed Emilia's thoughts, immediately comforted her, "Don't be sad, Emilia. You and His Majesty are only separated temporarily. The Royal Selection Conference is coming soon. Are you afraid that you won't be able to see him when you go to the capital?"

With Puck's comfort, Emilia cheered up again. Just as the silver-haired half-elf girl was about to turn and enter the castle, she encountered a couple with their daughter.

The girl recognized the newcomers as people from the border village, and the little girl was the one who had been cursed by a magical beast and had been saved by the Demon King and Echidna.

Although she is a noble chosen one of the royal family, Emilia has always been gentle and kind, and she speaks softly even to commoners.

"Is there a problem?"

The couple then told Emilia the purpose of their visit.

Unable to dissuade Petra, they had no choice but to bring their daughter here.

Upon learning the purpose of the three's visit, Emilia's face showed a hint of embarrassment. Although she and Bai Zhe were very close, he always made embarrassing remarks such as calling her his woman...

But Emilia didn't feel she could make that decision for Bai Zhe.

Upon seeing the embarrassed look on Emilia's face, the orange-haired girl, dressed simply and looking like a country bumpkin, immediately mustered up her courage and told Emilia about her reason for coming.

"Please, Lady Emilia, let me repay that person's kindness. I'll even be willing to be a maid without pay!"

Petra—

The girl's determination surprised Emilia and shocked her parents.

But then the two thought again, if their daughter could really follow that nobleman, even if she was just a lowly maid, it would be much better than continuing to live in the village!

So the two of them did not stop Petra.

The girl's determination only made Emilia more troubled, and seeing this, Puck patted the silver-haired half-elf girl on the shoulder and said:

"Lia, look at her like this, why don't you refuse? Let her stay with you for now, and then take her to the capital to ask that person for their opinion, okay?"

Let's do it this way.

Emilia nodded upon hearing this, and then said to Petra, "There are still a few days before I go to the capital. You can stay in this castle for the time being and learn the basics of being a maid. When the time comes, I will take you to the capital."

"However, I cannot guarantee that he will definitely take a liking to you."

As the silver-haired half-elf girl finished speaking, Petra immediately bowed deeply to her.

"No problem, please take good care of me these next few days, Lady Emilia!"

Petra's parents, after thanking Emilia profusely, left the castle gates, turning back to look at her again and again.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Bai Zhe and his group, who were returning to the capital in Fafnir, naturally passed by the conspicuous tree on the plain. The Gluttonous Witch, who sensed the white whale, asked everyone to wait for a moment and then summoned the white whale.

Having temporarily satisfied her physical and emotional hunger, Daphne, now possessing a sliver of humanity, naturally sought to reclaim the white whale after learning about its experiences over the past four hundred years.

However, seeing the pitiful look on its face, Daphne decided to keep it as a pet for the time being and used her powers to shrink its size, turning the originally fifty-meter-long monster into a doll-sized creature that could be held in one's arms.

As for the remaining black snake, although Daphne could sense it, the Gluttony Witch chose to discuss it later because of the distance.

Unlike Daphne, who treats the white whale as a pet and a food reserve, Bai Zhe believes that the white whale's abilities, like those of the rabbit, make it suitable as a vanguard in conquering another world.

Looking back now, whether it's the rabbit, the white whale, or the black snake, they are all destructive and responsible for becoming food, making them suitable as vanguards for conquering territory!

Chapter 143 Edwards: You'll pay with your body! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers)

"A dragon! It's a dragon!! The dragon is here again!!"

Fafnir, carrying the Demon King, witches, and elves, swaggered into the sky above the capital, naturally causing quite a bit of chaos.

Because this period is what happened in the capital, rumors spread throughout the streets and alleys.

Some say this is the dragon's dissatisfaction with the royal selection, while others say it's the dragon's punishment of the royal family...

But regardless of the type of rumor, they all ultimately point to the dragon!!

Because the Kingdom of Lugunica, which is related to the dragon, was founded on a contract established four hundred years ago between the kingdom and the divine dragon Polkenica.

Now that the royal family has been cut off, it will naturally cause panic among countless people. The purpose of the royal election is to select a king as soon as possible, so as to appease the people and deter villains.

The knights on the street began to observe the direction in which the evil dragon had landed, and when they discovered that it was the location of the Sword God, they were instantly relieved.

A few days ago, Crusch, who is the chosen one of the king, the disciple of the sword god, and the daughter of the duke, told the high-ranking officials in the royal capital that the sword god had a husband who could command dragons. With the tacit approval of the officials, she spread this information to the common people.

Therefore, the reappearance of the evil dragon has not caused much panic, but rather awe and curiosity.

Edwards, who had sensed the Demon King's unbridled aura as soon as the evil dragon entered the capital, was already waiting in the courtyard with Ram and Rem.

When the evil dragon descended and Bai Zhe came to the ground, this renowned sword goddess, regarded as the pure white Valkyrie, greeted him with her maid sisters, just like a wife who had long awaited her husband's return.

"Welcome back."

After slightly tidying up Bai Zhe's not-so-disheveled collar, Edwards turned his gaze to the eight original sin witches behind the Demon King.

"It seems your trip went very smoothly."

"It was indeed a great success."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe naturally nodded, then lightly tapped Edwards's lips in front of everyone before leading everyone into the living room.

On the way, the Demon King also introduced the other people who had come with him, and only after sitting down did he formally introduce the eight witches to Edwards.

To Edwards' surprise, when they sat down, Ike, who was supposed to rush to sit in Bai Zhe's lap, sat next to someone else, in a position where half of her buttocks was sticking out of the sofa.

While the witches chatted with Edwards, or rather, while Echidna and a few of the most talkative witches chatted, the others acted as listeners.

Frederica, a maid, began to familiarize herself with the mansion under Rem's guidance.

Meanwhile, under Ram's leadership, Tribes and Ryuzu seized the mansion's library, transformed it into a new workshop, and set up a small barrier similar to the Sanctuary but exactly the same size, as her secluded place to enjoy peace and quiet!

Elsa and Melly were assigned jobs similar to those of guards at the mansion.

As the witches chatted, the day quickly passed.

It wasn't until after dinner, when Edwards was alone with Theresa after the White Witch and the Great Sin Witch had gone to bathe and the three maids had gone to help, that he asked the beautiful girl, who was as red as a lotus, whether she had been of any help.

Then, after receiving a negative answer from Theresa, Edwards's eyes instantly turned cold.

Although the Sword Goddess was wearing a white floral dress and looked very pure and beautiful, Theresa's intuition told her that what was standing in front of her was actually a terrifying monster in human skin!

Sensing the cold, emotionless sword intent emanating from Edwards, Theresa instinctively shrank back, revealing a look of fear.

At this moment, the girl recalled the time when she had just become the other party's disciple. Because her swordsmanship was not up to standard, she was often trained by the other party with a cold face, which became the expression that Theresa feared the most.

However, the coldness vanished the next second, replaced by Edwards's sigh.

"Forget it, I knew you were useless. I only asked you to follow him in the first place to use your identity to stop some blind people."

"After all, he has a worse temper than me."

"Is...is that so...?"

Theresa disagreed with Edwards's statement.

The other person was clearly a great hero who saved thousands of people in the Sanctuary, someone with the power to reverse life and death, and had even saved her in the Sanctuary...

Just thinking about how Bai Zhe comforted her back in the Sanctuary made Theresa's face flush slightly.

Not to mention that later, the other party comforted her when she was down and taught her swordsmanship, which helped her improve.

Why would the teacher think Bai Zhe was more brutal than her?

Theresa has clearly forgotten the Demon King's reckless and capricious act of nearly burning the entire slum to the ground when they first met!

After all, women in love tend to focus on the good aspects of their partner and subconsciously ignore their bad ones.

Even if it was a secret crush that she herself was unaware of.

Although Edwards could be equated with the word "sword fanatic," as someone who had been through it all, she could completely sense the girl's feelings for Bai Zheyi from Theresa's expression and snippets of conversation.

This was unprecedented before the other party left the capital!

However, she didn't care about Theresa's thoughts.

The only thing that concerned her was that, ever since she returned from Theresia, she noticed that the sword on the girl's body had become even more menacing.

Therefore, Edwards directly summoned his inherent spirit weapon, threw one of them into Theresa's hand, and then swung the other sword at the red-haired girl in front of him.

Her sudden action naturally startled Theresa, who instinctively used her strongest sword technique to defend against Edwards' attack.

As the fiery red sword energy was sliced ​​apart by the invisible sword energy, all the decorations in the room were instantly shattered.

After one move, Edelweiss showed no intention of attacking again. He withdrew his unique spiritual weapon, glanced at the slashes on the wall that looked as if they had been scorched by flames, and then asked Theresa, "The Firelight Sword Technique, did he teach it to you?"

Upon hearing this, Theresa naturally nodded in agreement.

Then she heard Edwards spewing out shocking and outrageous remarks.

"Do you think you are capable of meeting his expectations? If not, then repay him with your body."

"You are not qualified as a swordsman, but you are qualified as a woman."

The next second, Theresa's sharp screech echoed through the messy room.

"Eh?!!"

No one knows the answer Theresa gave Edwards, but the next day, when Frederica came to wake Bai Zhe up, she saw the girl running out of Bai Zhe's room with a blush on her face.

As they passed each other, she caught a whiff of that irresistible scent emanating from him.

Chapter 144 The Royal Selection Conference! (Please subscribe, vote, and give flowers!)

With the royal selection process approaching, the capital city is becoming increasingly lively.

At this point, the nobles of the five chosen kings arrived one after another from all over Lugnica.

However, the hustle and bustle in the capital had nothing to do with Bai Zhe. He had spent most of the past few days at Edwards’s mansion, indulging in the gentle embrace of the witches and the power of original sin.

They even created a Word of Power spell based on the False Witch Factor obtained from Pandora, combined with the attributes of dragons, which can distort reality on a small scale by borrowing the bloodline of dragons.

Although it didn't greatly help the Demon King in terms of combat power, it gave him another means of combat.

Most importantly, any spell can be used as long as one possesses dragon blood. The closer the dragon blood in the user's body is to pure blood, the more powerful the spell can be!

This can be considered a system he constructed with the dragon bloodline at its core.

A week later, the time for the royal selection arrived. In addition to Crusch and Felt, who were already in the royal capital, the remaining three royal candidates also arrived in the royal capital one after another.

During this period, many people wanted to visit the Sword God.

Most of these people were members of various chosen ones' factions, and their goal was to bring Edwards, the sword god who stood at the pinnacle of the world, into their own factions in order to increase their prestige and the probability of their chosen chosen one becoming the new king.

However, apart from Emilia, who arrived in the capital two days before the Royal Selection Conference, all of these people were turned away!

The silver-haired half-elf girl, just as she had promised Petra, immediately took the girl to Edwards's mansion upon arriving in the capital, where she found Bai Zhe and explained their purpose to him.

Bai Zhe naturally accepted the little girl's offer of gratitude and allowed her to stay at Edwards's mansion.

Since Rem already had Frederica following her, Bai Zhe arranged for her to follow behind Ram. This would serve two purposes: firstly, it would allow Petra to hone her abilities, and secondly, it would allow Ram's power to protect this helpless little girl.

However, all previous visitors were rejected, but Emilia, one of the chosen ones, successfully entered the Sword God's mansion, causing rumors to circulate in the capital that the Sword God supported Emilia.

Even though the girl tried her best to clarify, to outsiders it was just a cover-up!

This naturally caused Emilia a lot of trouble.

After all, Lugnica's two most powerful combatants are the Sword Saint Reinhard, who adheres to the code of chivalry and will not influence the selection of the king, but the aloof Sword God has the ability to influence the selection of the king.
