"Haha~"
After feeding Betty, it's natural to feed Esther as well; both should be treated equally.
Priscilla, ignored by the hour, watched this loving scene with gritted teeth.
"Priscilla, goodbye then."
After feeding Esther, Shichen took Emilia and the others away, completely ignoring Priscilla.
The best way to deal with such a proud woman is to ignore her.
She possesses fragments of divine essence, so it's impossible for Shi Chen to have no connection with her. This is how she managed to make her remember him well upon their first meeting.
Priscilla stood there, watching Shichen and the others leave, still seething with anger.
No one had ever ignored her like this before; she remembered him completely.
......
"The time...that Priscilla just now..."
Shichen hadn't gone far with Emilia and the others when she couldn't help but speak up.
What happened to Priscilla?
“She, like me, is one of the candidates for king,” Emilia said seriously.
"Is there such a thing?"
Shi Chen pretended not to know and asked in surprise, "Then how come you didn't recognize her?"
"The list of candidates for king is not yet complete, so I don't know who they are, but I've heard of Priscilla."
"I see, no wonder she doesn't recognize you."
"Hmm... Shichen, you and her...?" Emilia hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.
"Don't worry, I'm really not familiar with her. Didn't you see that she doesn't recognize me at all?" Shi Chen rubbed her head to comfort her.
"I thought you were..."
"What did you think? Love at first sight? You're not jealous, are you?"
"N-no, I didn't!" Emilia denied, blushing.
"Hehe~ Besides you, there's no one else in this world who can make me fall in love at first sight, so don't worry."
“I…” Emilia’s blush spread to her ears.
She shouldn't have been able to resist asking.
How could Shichen say such things so directly?
Chapter 507 Knight
The next day, after having breakfast with Emilia, Shichen prepared to go into the royal city with her.
"Shichen, do you really... want to come with me?" Emilia hesitated.
"What are you still saying at a time like this?"
"But......"
"No buts. You're betraying my feelings for you. Do you think I care about what other people think?"
“Time…” Emilia stared at him blankly.
She didn't want Shichen to be with her, naturally because she didn't want to implicate him. But appearing in the royal city with her meant that the two of them were completely bound together.
But her identity was so mysterious that those who were with her were naturally viewed with prejudice.
"Don't worry about me anymore, okay? Treat me like one of your own." Shi Chen stroked her head, staring intently into her purple eyes.
“Yes!” Emilia nodded vigorously.
"That's more like it. Just remember to act cute with me from now on, just like Rem does."
“I don’t know how to act cute…” Emilia retorted softly.
"Hehe~ Let's set off then. Rem, please stay at the inn and wait for us."
Esther and Betty were naturally absorbed into the body by the time.
"Rem understands, but when Shichen comes back, Rem will act cute and ask Shichen to pat my head and tell me stories."
"No problem." Shichen patted Rem's head to comfort her.
Outsiders cannot participate in matters concerning the selection of kings, and Shi Chen is also considered an outsider, but he now has another identity.
Afterwards, Toki, Emilia, and Rotswaal left the inn.
Upon exiting the hotel, what appeared before me was an extremely luxurious dragon carriage decorated with many meaningless things.
The bus body is exquisitely crafted and covered with many decorations to show its luxury and splendor. The golden brilliance is due to the gold leaf applied to the exterior decoration, and the wheels are also inlaid with gemstones.
The most eye-catching part is the earth dragon that pulls the chariot. It has two heads, and the earth dragons are reddish-brown with luxurious fur on their backs. The reins and saddle are also exquisitely designed, completely pursuing a noble style.
This is the dragon carriage used to transport the candidates for the kingdom.
A dragon-shaped carriage of this size parked here naturally attracts a lot of onlookers, and without exception, everyone's eyes are filled with shock.
"Time, Rotswald, let's get in the car." Emilia calmly led the way into the car.
Time and Rotzwaer followed closely behind.
After boarding, the dragon carriage started moving and headed towards the royal city.
They traveled smoothly all the way and soon arrived at the capital. At that time, they got off the carriage and walked into the city through the main gate.
The passageway leading to the capital city was completely silent. Along the route displaying paintings and artworks, fully armed guards stood on both sides, swords raised, their eyes fixed on Emilia in the center.
At the end of the passageway stood a massive double door, so large that one had to look up at it, still guarded by soldiers.
"I've been waiting for a long time, Lady Emilia."
The soldier standing in front of the gate stepped forward, raised his sword and saluted Emilia, who was standing in front. He removed his helmet from his fully armed body and stared at the time.
The other party was a middle-aged man around forty years old, with a resolute face and serious eyes, who looked like he had been through many battles.
He recognized Rotzwaal, of course, but the time was different.
“He is…my knight.” Emilia paused, then said firmly.
"No magical reaction detected that indicates danger. Did Your Highness bring nothing with you?"
"Yes," Shi Chen nodded.
"If anything happens, please protect your master, Lady Emilia. Leave everything else to us, the Royal Guard Knights."
The guard gave instructions, then stepped aside, and the gate opened.
"Please go inside and wait; there are still people waiting."
Inside the gate was a vast space covered with a red carpet, the walls were decorated in a magnificent and dazzling manner, and luxurious chandeliers hung from the towering ceiling.
There were very few items inside. The most eye-catching place was at the back of the room, where there were five chairs on each side and one more in the very center.
The chair at the very back has a wall with a dragon pattern behind it, making it look like you're carrying the dragon and being protected by it.
This is the throne room of the royal city, and that chair can only be Lugnica's throne.
Emilia led the way with a calm expression, followed by Roswaal, who was also quite casual.
The interior was completely different from the exterior. There were no guards with swords; instead, there were elite soldiers dressed in white uniforms with knight's swords at their waists—the Knights of the Royal Guard.
Further inside were people dressed in formal attire, who appeared to be civil officials, as well as individuals of high status whose attire suggested they were of high status.
There was no one else besides them; Emilia, as a candidate for the kingdom, arrived the earliest.
Those people merely nodded in acknowledgment of Emilia's arrival and made no further comment.
"Shichen, you're going over there..." Emilia whispered, reminding Shichen to walk towards the guards.
"it is good."
The hour arrived beside the Royal Guard knights, and they stood together, awaiting the other candidates for king.
Not long after, there was a cute girl with light purple hair, a girl in military uniform with dark green hair, and finally, Priscilla, whom I had seen yesterday.
Priscilla glanced at the time and chuckled. She wasn't surprised; it seemed she had recognized Emilia yesterday.
Behind her, a man wearing a helmet and looking like a barbarian walked toward Shichen.
He is Priscilla's knight.
"—Everyone present has assembled. Next, the Sages will be entering."
A loud voice echoed through the throne room, and the doors opened again. Led by knights in armor, several elderly men filed in.
The elderly people were all dressed in clothing that matched their status and the venue. From their walking posture and demeanor, one could feel their dignity and imposing presence.
The most eye-catching figure was a white-haired man with a beard that almost dragged on the ground. He was not tall and had deep wrinkles on his face. He stood out in the group, and his eyes seemed to gleam with the sharpness of a blade.
He was the representative of the Wise Men, the one with the most authority in Lugnica, which was currently without a king, and his name was Mycroft.
The Wise Men's Council is a group that manages the country on behalf of the king. In name, it is an assistant, but now the operation of the country depends entirely on the Wise Men's Council.
That being said, in reality, there has been little difference between the time when the monarchy still existed and the present day.
As the Sages entered, Rotzwaal's expression tightened.
The seats surrounding the throne were gradually filled by the elders of the Sages' Assembly who were entering, leaving only the central throne, which was reserved for the king, empty.
Then, the four radiant young women, the candidates for king, walked one after another to the elders of the Sages' Council.
Led by Priscilla, the four radiant young women stood in a row with an air of grandeur.
Priscilla stood in the center, one hand on her hip, wearing a long red dress, her chest puffed out proudly, her expression still flamboyant.
Another woman standing in the middle was dressed in a military uniform. Her long, green hair shone brightly, almost black, and was tied at the end with a white butterfly. Her face, which combined beauty and majesty, stared straight ahead.
She was very tall with shapely legs, and a sword hung from her waist. The sword was engraved with a lion's crest with bared fangs. The term "woman dressed as a man" could perfectly describe her; she was a beauty.
Standing next to Priscilla was a lively and cheerful girl with light purple hair, long wavy hair that reached her back, a soft face, and a petite figure. She wore a white dress decorated with a lot of fur, and what was particularly eye-catching were the white fox scarf hanging on her shoulders and the huge double-bead wallet hanging below her waist, which looked like a joke.
He gives the impression of a businessman.
