Crossover Anime: A Dimensional Journey Starting with Frilian

Realizing something was wrong, Li Keert was about to call for help when, with a bang like a balloon exploding, he turned into a bloody mist.

This scene made everyone hold their breath.

Chapter 511 Showing affection in public

"So noisy."

The sound of time passing was so dull that it sent a chill down everyone's spine.

Not far from him, Julius lowered his head, his face was ashamed, his fists were clenched, and his eyes showed helplessness.

“Shichen…” Emilia murmured the name of Shichen.

Shi Chen withdrew his oppressive aura, smiled slightly, and looked at Emilia: "Are you alright?"

"Huh?" Emilia was taken aback, blinked, and didn't understand the meaning of the time.

"You don't mind my violence, do you?"

"Honestly, what are you talking about, Shichen?" Emilia puffed out her cheeks, getting angry.

"Shichen, you did this for me, how could I possibly be angry?"

"Don't you find it violent and bloody?"

"Shichen, you really do treat me like a child. I don't care about these things."

"That's it, that's good."

Shi Chen laughed and looked at everyone whose fearful gazes were fixed on him.

"Don't you feel anything?" he suddenly asked.

His response was silence; no one knew what he was asking.

"What do you mean by not answering?" Shi Chen frowned in displeasure.

"Um, Lady Emilia's knight..."

“Just call me Shichen.” Shichen looked at Mycroft.

"Lord Time... what do you mean by asking?" Mycroft asked cautiously.

"How can you be so stupid? It's a wonder you've managed to keep this country afloat." Shi Chen sighed helplessly.

"..."

Although they were mocked by Shichen, no one dared to utter a word in rebuttal, and no one even had the thought of rebutting.

After all, Shi Chen just lost his life in a fit of anger and Li Keert was reduced to ashes. No one knows what he did. What if he only suppressed his aura and that was enough? How powerful would that be?

How is this any different from killing someone on a whim?

At least they couldn't find a more powerful method.

And if he could read minds or something, nobody wants to die, to die without knowing why.

"Fine, I'll just say it straight. Don't you guys think Emilia is cute? Her chubby cheeks are just like steamed buns. I really want to poke them."

"..." His response was, of course, silence.

They even doubted that they had heard correctly.

Is that all the questions you're asking?

"Shichen, what are you saying?" Emilia asked coquettishly, her face flushed.

"I'm just telling the truth. These people always bring up your jealousy of beautiful women. I really don't know what's wrong with their brains. If you were jealous of beautiful women, would these people still be sitting here peacefully?"

“But I do look exactly like Jealous Beauty,” Emilia replied helplessly.

"What's wrong with that?" Shi Chen asked back.

"Eh?"

"There are plenty of criminals in this world, so aren't these people just like them? They all look like human beings, so why should we treat everyone as a criminal?"

"Shichen, that's a bit of a stretch..."

"Amelia, how dare you contradict me..." Shi Chen clutched his chest, feigning heartbreak.

"Um, I'm not..." Emilia immediately denied in a panic.

"I was just kidding with you." Shi Chen laughed.

"Shichen, really!" Emilia puffed out her cheeks in anger again.

"..." The people around them looked at the two flirting and teasing each other as if no one else was around, and they felt awkward.

"Look, isn't it cute?" Shi Chen asked the others with a smile.

"..."

"Hmm?" Shi Chen's eyes turned cold.

"Mmm! So cute, so very cute!"

"That's right, how come I never noticed? Lady Emilia is so beautiful."

"I think so."

“Indeed,” Mycroft agreed.

"That's more like it." Shi Chen nodded in satisfaction.

"Amelia's snow-white silver hair, flawless face, delicate features and complexion, fair skin with a rosy glow... If you're not attracted to her looks, are you even men?"

"..."

“Time…” Emilia’s face grew redder and redder, the blush extending to her ears.

Being praised like that in public was too much for her; she felt ashamed but also very happy.

"So what if she's a silver-haired half-elf? So what if she looks like a jealous beauty? Since you've noticed her appearance, why can't you be attracted to her like normal men? Can't you see Emilia's adorable face?"

"..."

Everyone remained silent. Although they felt that what Shi Chen said made some sense, they just couldn't do it.

Neither the dignity of the nobility nor the phenomenon of conformity would allow them to have such thoughts under such circumstances.

However, Shichen didn't expect them to do what he said.

"Alright, let's continue the meeting. I don't want anyone stirring up trouble because of Emilia's appearance anymore, or they'll face the consequences. Roswaal, you too, don't think I don't know you're trying to provoke me. If it weren't for the fact that you're genuinely thinking of Emilia," Toki warned.

"Oops~ I've been exposed~" Rotzwaal laughed it off.

He interrupted to steer the conversation toward Emilia, hoping that Shichen would act swiftly and decisively.

Here, only Shichen can act freely, and no one dares to say anything.

Overwhelming strength allows one to act recklessly.

"Knight Reinhard," McCrotoff said, regaining control of the situation.

"continue."

"Yes!"

Reinhard continued, "Since we've lost the means of confirmation, it might be a bit of a coincidence... But yes! To say it's just a coincidence when it meets these conditions is something I find hard to accept."

"What do you mean?"

“This is the guidance of fate,” Reinhard replied earnestly.

"Is it......"

The two were saying things that were hard to understand, and no one around them could comprehend what they meant.

McCrotoff sighed, looked around at everyone, and reminded them with exasperation, "Didn't any of you notice? Didn't you even notice when you saw Lord Felt? If you can't even do that, then you can question your own loyalty to the kingdom."

All eyes were once again focused on Ferute.

"What's different about Lady Felt...?"

"Yes, aside from being young, at this age, rather than taking the throne or anything like that, one should be studying...!"

"Wait! Golden, golden hair and red eyes!?"

Finally, someone noticed Ferut's most distinctive feature.

The civil officials all wore expressions of shock and disbelief.

Golden hair and red eyes are the distinctive features of the Lugnica royal bloodline, but the royal bloodline had already died one after another half a year ago, which is the main reason why they did not pay special attention to it.

"Everyone, do you remember what happened in the palace fourteen years ago?" Reinhard asked calmly.

"Knight Reinhard, you wouldn't be trying to say something like...?"

"Yes, fourteen years ago, thieves invaded the city, and the late king's brother, Lord Frude's daughter, was kidnapped. The thieves escaped successfully, and the daughter's whereabouts have been unknown ever since."

That was a scandalous affair of the kingdom that must never be known to the outside world, but everyone inside knew about it.

"No! This deduction is too extreme, no, it's absurd! A princess who went missing fourteen years ago has fallen into a life in the slums of the capital, and you found her by chance? And coincidentally, she's qualified to be the Dragon Priestess? That's too much of a coincidence!"

Some civil officials didn't believe it, and one even almost said that someone was plotting this.

"Are you implying that I committed such a shameless act as dyeing Lady Felt's hair and then using magic to change her eye color?" Reinhard retorted.

"I didn't say that, but..."

"I'll wager my sword!" Reinhard interrupted the civil official, placing the sword at his waist on the ground and displaying the highest salute of presenting a sword.

The highest salute offered by the knight among knights left the civil official speechless.

"...The royal bloodline is extinct, and there is no way to confirm whether she belongs to the royal family. It is impossible to convince everyone based on mere conjecture."

“Of course, but I am certain that Lady Felt is the rightful heir to the throne, even without blood ties.”

"Although he is hailed as the sword saint of our time, he is quite a madman," the civil official sighed.

Reinhard's meaning was clear: regardless of Felt's identity, he would support her. But whatever she was, she did come from the slums and might even be of lost royal blood. The hardships she would face were beyond imagination.

Of all those present, the one who trusted him the most was probably Shichen.

After all, he knew that he was Lai Aotian.
