Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

This was even more difficult for Subaru Natsuki to handle than Cao Cao's loud laughter.

He paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"Okay. Very good."

Emilia blinked.

"Ok?"

"I said okay."

Natsuki Subaru stood with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.

“You have come at the right time. Although you did not visit three times, you still showed great courage in visiting once. What day is this, what night is this, that the candidate lord has personally come to visit you, which shows your respect for the virtuous and talented.”

He paused, then, as if finally settling the matter, added in a deep voice:

"From this moment on, history has undergone a dramatic change."

Felt rolled her eyes. Although she had basically accepted Subaru Natsuki's lion-like language system, she still couldn't help but complain:

"She probably just came to thank me."

"Saying thank you is also a form of courtesy."

Subaru Natsuki looked at Emilia, his tone sincere.

"Emilia, I'll remember your glance."

"In the blink of an eye, a hen turns into a duck. Yesterday I was a homeless guest general, and today a lord in the making has come to invite me. There is no greater wonder in the world than this."

"Hahahahahaha."

Subaru Natsuki burst into laughter.

Emilia seemed to understand, but not quite.

She could probably tell that Subaru was praising her.

Although the way he praised her was a bit strange.

"Um... I actually just wanted to formally thank you."

Emilia took two steps forward and lowered her head earnestly.

"Thank you for helping me find my badge, and thank you for protecting me yesterday. If it weren't for Subaru, I might have been in big trouble."

She paused.

"Also, I'm sorry for misunderstanding yesterday that you and Felt were in cahoots."

"Hey, what's wrong with being on my side?!" Felt was a little unhappy and actually grabbed Subaru Natsuki's arm.

At the same time, I justified myself in my heart: This is me, as the lord, declaring my sovereignty!

Subaru Natsuki didn't care about Felt's behavior.

Instead, he stared at Emilia.

The silver-haired girl's lowered head made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

When he first came to Lugnica, it was this silver-haired girl who saved him.

Although she herself no longer remembers.

Subaru Natsuki, however, remembered.

Therefore, in his mind, Emilia should not be the one to bow down to him.

"Don't do that."

Natsuki Subaru waved his hand.

"Who in the world is not wrong? You misjudged me yesterday, you understand me today, and you might misjudge me again tomorrow. It doesn't matter, I, Natsuki Subaru, am still me."

He thought for a moment, then added in a serious tone:

"Remember, do not be angry, for anger diminishes your wisdom. Since I am not angry, my wisdom remains."

Emilia looked up.

She wore that expression of trying to understand again.

"Don't be angry? Subaru, you mean... you're not angry?"

"Of course I'm not angry."

Subaru Natsuki spoke with righteous indignation.

"Being misunderstood is an inevitable path for heroes."

Ferut muttered to herself:

"That's as if you're often treated like a weirdo."

"wrong!"

Natsuki Subaru corrected.

"It's not just similar, it is!"

Natsuki Subaru's eyes shone brightly as he recalled the days when he had just arrived in the Three Kingdoms period.

He couldn't speak Chinese back then, and he was ridiculed everywhere he went.

He studied hard and managed to learn some common Chinese, but it was still quite strange.

People often make fun of him, saying he has a colonel's accent...

After several twists and turns...

Only Boss Cao didn't look down on him...

And patiently taught him how to speak standard Mandarin.

Natsuki Subaru's true reaction at that time was:

I thought Yuan Shao was already kind and benevolent enough, but there was someone even more virtuous than him!

Felt was speechless again. Natsuki Subaru's attentive look towards Emilia made her a little jealous.

Ram watched this scene quietly.

She had already heard many of Subaru Natsuki's strange words and actions from Emilia yesterday.

But hearing about it is one thing.

Seeing it with your own eyes is another matter entirely.

After this man opened his mouth, it seemed as if all common sense in the air was bypassed by him.

But strangely enough, Lady Emilia doesn't dislike her.

Ferut wasn't really annoyed.

Even the sword saint only showed a gentle expression tinged with helplessness.

This made Ram even more certain that Lord Roswaal's judgment was correct.

Subaru Natsuki is not someone who can be easily measured by ordinary standards.

She decided to put away her usual sharp tongue.

"Sir Subaru Natsuki."

Ram spoke.

Her voice was steady, and her address was polite enough.

Natsuki Subaru immediately turned to look at her.

"Ok?"

Ram crossed her hands in front of her.

"Lady Emilia was helped by you yesterday. Lord Roswaal felt that a verbal thank you was not enough to express his gratitude, so he sent Ram to deliver a gift."

She turned slightly to the side.

The accompanying servants placed several boxes in the hall.

The moment the box lid was opened, Ferut's eyes lit up.

Holy Gold Coin.

A set of jewelry.

Several beautifully polished magic ore stones.

There were also fabrics, medicines, and some small items that Ferut couldn't understand but knew at a glance were very valuable.

Ferut, who came from the slums, had stolen many things, but he rarely saw so many valuable items laid out in front of him at once.

She subconsciously took half a step forward.

"Hey, hey, could it be that these things..."

Ram glanced at her.

"It's a thank-you gift for Lord Subaru Natsuki."

Felt immediately looked at Subaru Natsuki.

Natsuki Subaru looked at the boxes with a serious expression.

Emilia was so serious that she became a little nervous.

“Subaru, if you think it's too much, you don't have to accept it all. I just... I just wanted to express my gratitude properly. That badge means a lot to me!”

"Do not."

Subaru Natsuki raised his hand to interrupt.

"Once the gift of gratitude is given, it is like a military order being issued. To refuse it back and forth would only seem pretentious."

He looked at the boxes, his tone somber as if he were dealing with a matter of national importance.

Finally, he waved his hand dismissively.

"I'll take it."

Ferut's eyes shone even brighter.

Reinhard was slightly taken aback.

Ram quietly noted this down.

Natsuki Subaru is not averse to money.

At least not the kind of person who would use "aloofness" to reject everything.

That's fine.

If he is willing to accept gifts, invites him to visit his territory, and joins Emilia's faction, then there is still room for negotiation.

Chapter 22: 022. The Fate of the National Treasury Remains Unclear

"Lord Roswaal also hopes that Lord Subaru Natsuki will be able to visit Roswaal's territory if it is convenient for him."

Ram continued.

"The manor will provide accommodation and meals, and will try its best to meet the guests' normal needs. Lady Emilia also hopes to express her gratitude in person."

Emilia nodded in agreement upon hearing this, and subconsciously looked at Subaru Natsuki.

She really hoped Subaru would come.

It wasn't just to express gratitude.

She wanted to talk to him again.

She wanted to know why he knew her.

I want to know what kind of relationship I had with him before I lost my memory.

Subaru Natsuki simply stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and then shook his head.

"Is that not allowed...?"
