Her tone was pleading, but the will contained in it was so strong and unshakable.
Shi Chen looked at Emilia tenderly. She was so lovable like this, especially when he saw her like this right in front of him.
He didn't make any move. The current situation didn't require him to do anything. Emilia's belief had been passed on to everyone.
Silence enveloped the hall, and everyone waited with bated breath for the answer to Emilia's belief.
At this time, someone in the Sages' Association let out a long sigh.
"Lady Emilia, my opinion remains unchanged. Your appearance will easily remind people of the Witch of Jealousy, which will undoubtedly give people a bad impression. In the battle for the royal election, it is difficult to change an unfavorable position."
As the man spoke, he glanced at Shi Chen casually, and when he saw that he didn't react, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really afraid of saying something wrong and offending him.
After all, there are already two people who have become examples, one living and one dead.
"..." Emilia pursed her lips. Because of that person's answer, she couldn't help biting her lips, with a gloomy expression.
Shichen reached out and held her hand.
Emilia looked at him in surprise, but Shichen just smiled at her.
"but!"
That person suddenly changed the subject: "No one is allowed to interfere with people's hearts, so you can't decide how others see you. However, I want to apologize for my impoliteness just now - no, I want to apologize for my rudeness, Lady Emilia."
As the man spoke, he walked out, knelt on one knee in front of Emilia, and gave the highest salute.
"What are you doing?" Emilia looked at him in confusion.
The man kept his head down. "With the power you displayed, Lady Emilia, you could easily turn anyone who disobeyed you into an ice sculpture, or even kill them directly...but not only did you not do that, you also demanded fairness. This is a very noble act."
"is it?"
Hearing his answer, Emilia couldn't help the joy of being recognized, and laughed cheerfully. Her lips slightly raised, drawing a beautiful arc, and bloomed into a smile like a flower.
The man looked up and saw the smile, and was stunned by it.
"Hey, I can't tell what you think of Emilia~" Shi Chen reminded.
"Feel sorry......"
The man immediately apologized and retracted his gaze: "I just couldn't help it for a moment... It seems that Lady Emilia is indeed a beautiful girl as Lord Shichen said."
"Oh~ you have good taste. I'll allow you to be moved for a moment."
"Yes."
"Really, Shichen, what are you talking about~" Emilia rolled her eyes at Shichen coquettishly.
"Ahem, although there are some twists and turns, but I have said it very fully... Lady Emilia, Lord Roswaal, and Lord Shichen... Is there anything else you want to add?" Miklotov interrupted the flirting between Shichen and Emilia and said.
"Although there is still a lot I want to say, let's stop here." Emilia said in time.
"Then I have nothing more to say." Shi Chen shook his head.
"Well, next up are Lord Firut and Knight Reinhard. Both of you want to participate in the royal election, right?" Marcus asked Firut and Reinhard.
Firut couldn't help but look at Shichen, and seeing him nodding and smiling to cheer her on, she nodded and said, "Yes, I'll join."
"Yes, I follow the master's wishes." Reinhardt replied calmly.
“I see. In this case, we can conclude that all the Dragon Priestesses are here… Is there anything else you want to add? If Felt-sama has anything to say…”
"Um......"
Firut did have something to say, but she was a little hesitant and couldn't help but look at Shichen again, seeking help in her eyes.
Shichen smiled and said, "Fei Lut, don't be afraid. If you have anything to say, just say it. If someone wants to do something to you, I will help you."
"Thank you, big brother!" Firut smiled with relief.
"Time... This is clearly my responsibility." Reinhardt said helplessly.
“What can I do? It’s because Firut doesn’t trust you.” Shichen spread his hands.
"You are still Lady Emilia's knight after all..."
"My Emilia is not that petty. Besides, she knows that she is my first supporter. With her kindness, she won't sit idly by."
Emilia did not answer, but just smiled and acknowledged Shichen's words.
However, Shichen had already broken the rules a bit, but no one dared to blame him unless they didn't want to do it anymore.
They have already seen that Shi Chen is very protective of his people and they cannot afford to offend him.
"Then I have only one idea."
Firut raised his finger and pointed it toward the sky, attracting everyone's attention, with an arrogant and wanton smile.
Her red pupils were shining brightly.
Taking a deep breath, Felt pointed to the Sages’ Council and said, “I hate nobles.”
Then he pointed to the Royal Guards.
"I hate knights, too."
Then she opened her arms again and raised her head.
"I hate the Kingdom."
Finally, she lowered her arms and smiled brightly, looking at everyone.
"I hate everyone in this room, and the footstools, everything, so I'm going to destroy everything...how about that?"
Firut asked Shichen proudly.
“W-What did you say!?”
"How dare you say such a thing during the election to decide the king!?"
"Then what's the point of all the time I've been working so hard for?!"
Bang bang bang~
Shichen interrupted the anger of the people around her and applauded and cheered for her.
Felt laughed even more happily. “Stop yelling like that. Can’t you speak without me? I say, your pride and history are simply ridiculous!”
"what?!"
"Humph! If I become the king, I will destroy everything and knock down those blind guys who can't see that the ground under their feet is about to collapse. This way, the ventilation will definitely become better."
Firut expressed his ideas unreasonably and unscrupulously, but the people around him dared not speak out because of Shichen's support.
Miklotov remained calm and nodded in agreement. He then asked Reinhard, "Your master is a very strong-willed person. What do you think of what she said?"
“Well, what Lord Felt said is no different from talking in a dream,” Reinhard replied with a smile.
"You...!" Firut glared at him in dissatisfaction.
"but......"
Reinhardt smiled. “One day, Master Felt’s words will be conveyed to everyone. Until then, it is my duty to support you with all my strength.”
“But, Felt-sama has declared that you will be destroyed, right?
“Lady Felt will have to face regeneration after destruction sooner or later. Before that, I would like nothing more than to be able to stay by her side and support her.” Reinhard bowed slightly with a firm attitude.
"You guy, you really are trustworthy just like what big brother said." Firut looked at him and curled his lips.
"Yes, I am your partner, sir."
"Partner... I still don't trust you enough, but I will use you well."
"At your service." Reinhard lowered his head to express his loyalty.
Seeing him like this, Phyllis scratched his head helplessly, then looked at Shichen and grinned.
Chapter 515 Priscilla's Moon Hung
With Firut's announcement, the meeting came to an end.
All five candidates were recognized by everyone.
The head of the Duke Karsten family, Crusch Karsten, and her first knight, Blue Felix Argyle.
The Bloody Bride Priscilla Ballier, and her first knight, the one-armed wandering mercenary Al.
Anastasia Hesin, the young head of a foreign guild, and her first knight, Julius Eucleus, the best knight.
The lost unidentified royal bloodline, Firut, and her first knight, the knight among knights, the swordmaster Reinhard van Astraea.
There is also the silver-haired half-elf ice witch Emilia, and her first knight, the protective and unreasonable Shichen.
The deadline is three years later, and there will be a dragon-loving ceremony to renew the covenant with the dragon. The winner will represent the public opinion of the people of the country, determined by the glory of the dragon ball and the guidance of the dragon.
Before that, the five king candidates must do their best to maintain the functions of the kingdom within their own territories and within their respective areas.
And so, the king selection officially began.
......
On the way out of the royal city, the five candidates were together. Although they knew each other, no one spoke to each other.
Until we left the royal city.
"We will leave now." Reinhardt was the first to say goodbye.
"Okay, see you next time."
"See you next time? It's unexpectedly nice, but we'll be enemies next time we meet." Reinhardt said generously with a bright smile.
His words did cause some reactions from several candidates.
"Enemies aren't a fight to the death. To become king, one must look at the will and hopes of the people. There's no point in excluding other candidates. Emilia won't like it either." Shi Chen shook his head.
“The people’s will and hopes… then you and Lady Emilia will have a much harder time than us.” Reinhardt said with a smile.
"This is a challenge. Besides, wouldn't it be great if Emilia went from zero to being recognized by everyone?" Shi Chen asked with a smile.
"Great!" Reinhard expressed his respect for Shichen's attitude from the bottom of his heart.
"Shichen, you have too much confidence in me." Emilia couldn't help but speak. She couldn't stand Shichen's flattery a little. Her face turned red and she looked embarrassed.
