Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Given that the driver's platform was only up to Shichen's chest, the fact that he could land so easily shows that this person is definitely not simple.

Shi Chen had a deep impression of him and recognized him at a glance.

"Excuse me, Lady Emilia, the Border Count of Rotswald." The old man bowed.

His white hair was carefully combed back, forming a slicked-back style, and he wore a well-fitting black suit, like a butler's uniform.

The two men looked quite old, but their bodies were visibly well-trained, and the aura they exuded made people wary.

"Oh my, isn't this Mr. Wilhelm? You've come all this way?" Rotzwaal asked with a clown-like smile.

“I am merely a follower; the messenger has come on business,” Wilhelm replied calmly.

He wasn't surprised by Rotzwaal's behavior and seemed to know about his situation.

“An envoy? Is it about the royal selection?” Emilia stepped forward and asked.

"Lady Emilia, it's been a long time, meow~"

As a playful voice with a lingering tone rang out, a girl with cat ears stepped out of the dragon carriage.

The girl had neatly trimmed, medium-length flaxen hair, decorated with a white bow. Her large pupils sparkled with curiosity, and her face was pretty and cute, making her look as lovable as a kitten.

It's hard not to like her; she's a beast-eared girl—on the surface.

As she stepped off the dragon carriage, she revealed her rather tall figure, yet her body was incredibly slender. Her every move exuded feminine charm, and she appeared cunning and intelligent.

"Phyllis, it's been a long time." Emilia greeted the cat-eared girl politely.

"Hmm~ And Lord Roswaal, Rem, Ram... And who is this?" The cat-eared girl named Phyllis noticed the time.

"Hello, my name is Shi Chen, and I am a guest of this mansion." Shi Chen smiled slightly and introduced himself.

"Meow? Diner? Shichen? What strange names." Phyllis blinked, curiously examining Shichen.

"Phyllis~ Don't worry about him, just treat him like you treat me~" Rotzwaal explained cheerfully.

"Mimi? Treated the same as Lord Rothwaal?" Phyllis stared wide-eyed at Shichen in disbelief.

"Rotswald, is it really necessary to say that directly?" Shichen asked helplessly.

"What does it matter? Isn't it good to let people know your importance in advance?"

"Forget it, whatever you want."

"Oh, I think I've discovered something incredible! Hello, hello, my name is Felix Argyle, you can just call me Phyllis." Phyllis excitedly extended her hand to Shichen.

"Hello." Shi Chen shook hands with him, then quickly let go.

"Huh—?" Phyllis blinked again.

Am I disliked?

"No, it's only when I see it up close that I realize the incredible magic of cat ears," Shi Chen explained, shaking his head.

He has absolutely no resistance to cat-eared girls, but the cat-eared girl in front of him is a boy!

So cute, it must be a boy.

If you're not careful, he might start patting your head and soothing your fur, so you have to resist the urge.

"Meow? Shi Chen, you really are quite perceptive~" Phyllis understood what Shi Chen meant and laughed.

"Shichen, do you like cat ears?" Emilia asked.

"It's more than just liking it, I have absolutely no ability to resist it..." Shi Chen confessed.

"I see, I understand! Since Shichen likes it so much, I'll make a cat ear decoration!" Rem suddenly said seriously.

"Oh, I'm really looking forward to it."

"I guarantee you'll like it!" Rem said sweetly.

"Haha~ You guys are really funny." Phyllis couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Well, while it's good to know the interesting aspects of the time, shouldn't we have some serious business to discuss now?" Rotzwaal asked with a smile.

“That’s true, Phyllis, come in first,” Emilia invited.

"Okay, meow~ Mr. Will, I'll leave you to wait here."

"Yes."

Upon arriving at the council hall, Shichen and Emilia sat together, listening to Phyllis explain the reason for their arrival.

Normally, it wouldn't be her who informs Emilia about the royal selection, since the person she serves, like Emilia, is also one of the candidates for the royal selection.

Since she was one of the candidates for the throne, her purpose in coming here was self-evident.

Besides informing Emilia of the royal selection, Phyllis's visit also included the fact that the person she served wanted to form an alliance with Emilia.

On the surface, forming an alliance with Emilia seems like a good thing, but in reality, it means being looked down upon by her.

If you consider Emilia an opponent, then the other party will never form an alliance with her.

The other party knew Emilia's identity as a silver-haired half-elf. With such an identity, it was already remarkable to be one of the candidates for the throne, but becoming the king was impossible.

No one would want someone who is jealous of beautiful women to be king.

That's why the other side wanted to form an alliance with Emilia, since she posed no threat.

Unlike other king candidates, who are all formidable rivals.

"Lady Emilia, what do you think?" Phyllis asked.

Phyllis, of course, did not explain the real reason, but only indicated that she wanted to form an alliance with Emilia.

“This…” Emilia hesitated, unable to resist glancing at the time.

"Shichen, what do you think?"

"Ask me? That's not a good habit," Shi Chen reminded him.

"Ah! I didn't mean to..." Emilia realized.

She had become dependent on Xiang Shichen without even realizing it.

After all, he had helped me twice, and during this time, he had been preventing me from going out to play, so I basically had no say in the matter.

"It's nothing, I don't mind if you rely on me~" Shi Chen reached out and ruffled her hair.

"But......"

Even a king needs to rely on his subjects, right?

"That being said..."

"Don't worry, I will always support you."

"Time..."

"Um, if you can, please don't be so lovey-dovey in front of me, okay? I can't stand it, meow~" Phyllis had a look on her face as if she were being fed dog food.

“We weren’t being all lovey-dovey…” Emilia explained shyly in a low voice.

"I think they're pretty much a couple~ Are Emilia-sama and Tokiomichi a couple?"

"No, no..." Emilia denied, blushing.

“No…” Phyllis smiled meaningfully as she looked at Shichen.

"It's only a matter of time," Shi Chen replied with a smile.

"Shichen... what are you talking about?" Emilia glared at Shichen playfully.

"I'm just telling the truth."

“To tell you the truth… eh—eh!” Emilia paused for a moment, finally realizing the meaning of the time.

He likes her!

But...why?

What makes her likable?

With no redeeming qualities and such an ominous appearance, how could anyone possibly like her?

But when she thought of this, she also thought of how Shi Chen had taken her out to relax during this time, and how he had helped her unconditionally before.

It seems... to be true?

Chapter 503 Confession

"Emilia, let's agree to Phyllis's suggestion," Shichen suggested, unaware of Emilia's brainstorming session.

Emilia clearly didn't know the real reason why Phyllis and the others proposed the alliance, but Shichen did.

But it doesn't matter. With him around, if the other side dares to underestimate them, they should be prepared to suffer the consequences.

"Huh? Ah, I, I understand, I'll listen to you, Shichen..." Emilia snapped out of her daze, blushing, and hurriedly agreed.

Rotzwaal sat in the main seat, smiling slightly, without offering any opinion.

Needless to say, Rem and Ram were not allowed to get a word in edgewise.

This meeting was actually about Emilia's affairs, and Tokimatsu got involved without any hesitation.

Not so much for others.

"Really? That's great, meow~ I can go back and report now." Phyllis happily clasped her hands together.

"Are you going back now?"

"Yes, I'm sorry. I wanted to chat with you more, but I don't have time, meow~ Let's call it a day. There'll be plenty of time later. If I don't hurry back to my beloved Crusch-sama, I'll get restless."

Crusch is the person Philis serves, and like Emilia, she is one of the candidates for king.

There are currently four candidates for king.

Being a candidate for king isn't something you can just decide to do; you need to be recognized with the badge, which is the thing Emilia lost before.

The king candidate will cause the badge to react and glow.

Just a moment ago, I thought I was qualified to be a candidate for king, but I was wrong.

"In that case, I won't try to stop you."
