"I think I might be interested..."
"Witches don't seem so bad after all, they're so beautiful..."
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Don't you dare fall for my Emilia!" Shichen immediately warned.
"What? Your Emilia? Who are you?"
"That's right, get away from Emilia immediately!"
"who are you?"
"who am I?"
Shi Chen smiled smugly and retorted, "Since Emilia is a candidate for king, isn't my identity obvious?"
"Could it be that you are?"
"That's right, I am Emilia's chief knight!" Shi Chen boasted to everyone like a child.
"He's just a knight, that's no big deal."
"That's right, maybe we'll even be Emilia's subjects in the future."
"I have to say, having a witch as queen gives you a great sense of security."
"I want to support Emilia as queen!"
"Emilia!"
"Love...wait, where's Emilia?"
"That knight has also disappeared."
"It seems like we can move now."
"Wasn't it already possible to move it?"
"But where is Emilia?"
"It's alright. Since Emilia is a candidate for king, we'll definitely see her again in the future."
"Does she live on the other side of the border? It seems she has a border lord supporting her."
"As expected, Emilia is different from other witches; she has no problems."
Are all witches so beautiful?
"I don't know, but Emilia is very cute."
"Indeed... wait, what are you trying to do?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Amelia is mine!" *2
Chapter 523 Give Me a Hug
"Shichen, is it alright for us to leave like this?"
"What? You can't bear to part with those people?"
"Ugh, Shichen, what are you saying? It's just that we left suddenly, and they..."
"Don't worry, this will be fine."
"I understand, I believe in the timing... Why are we going straight back to Crusch's mansion?"
Emilia came to her senses and realized that she was already in the courtyard of Crusch's mansion.
There was no one in the courtyard at the moment, but there were obvious signs of activity, indicating that Crusch must have been practicing swordsmanship there not long ago.
"I can come back whenever I want~" Shi Chen didn't explain clearly.
"I know you're very capable, okay?" Emilia said reproachfully, giving Bai Leshi a reproachful look.
"Hehe~ Alright, now that things are done, pack up and head back first thing tomorrow morning."
"Wait a moment."
Just as Shichen was about to turn back into the house, Emilia grabbed his hem.
"What's wrong?" Shi Chen turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"I......"
Emilia suddenly became shy, her fair face flushed, making her look adorable and charming.
"Hmm?" Shi Chen blinked when he saw her like this.
"Can I... ask you for a favor?" Emilia took a deep breath, her expression becoming serious.
"A request? You need to make a request to me? What is it? I'll grant you anything."
"Shichen, you spoil me too much~ What if my request is something bad?"
"It doesn't matter what happens, good or bad, I will satisfy you. After all, Emilia, you can't possibly be a bad child."
"That's not necessarily true~"
"It's okay if she's a bad girl, I like her too. Emilia's mischievous side is definitely cuter," Shichen said nonchalantly.
"Seriously, what am I to you, Shichen?"
"The embodiment of the word 'cute,' huh? Okay, what do you want me to do?"
"Um...can I hug you?" Emilia asked softly.
"Give me a hug?" Shi Chen looked at her in surprise.
"Hmm..." Emilia blushed and lowered her head.
Why do you want to hug me?
“I don’t know, I just wanted to do it this way…” Emilia explained in a low voice.
"That's it."
"Is...is that okay?"
"What do you think?" Shi Chen asked in return.
"Eh?"
Emilia looked up in confusion, only to find that Shichen had already opened his arms to welcome her into his embrace.
So she could no longer hold back, and took a step forward, one small step, then a big step, and then pounced on Shichen and hugged him.
Shi Chen smiled, caught her, and put his arm around her.
Emilia was slender, but because she threw herself into his arms, Shichen felt the softness from her chest as it slowly slid down.
It's not big, but the future is promising.
“Shichen…” Emilia pressed her face against Shichen’s chest, slowly closed her eyes, and murmured softly.
Holding Shichen in his arms, she felt instantly at ease, enveloped by an unprecedented sense of security.
Warm and spacious.
She had only intended to give him a quick hug, but now she didn't want to let go; she wanted to hold him for as long as possible.
The time of day naturally didn't remind her of anything; he gently held her slender figure without making any other moves.
After a long while, Emilia came to her senses and shyly left Shichen's embrace.
"Sorry... I think I hugged you for a little too long."
"What does it matter? I think we don't have enough time," Shi Chen replied with a smile.
“It’s true…” Emilia said coquettishly, unable to suppress her laughter.
"If you ever want to lean on me again, you can always do so in my arms," Shi Chen said.
"W-Is it okay?" Emilia asked excitedly.
"Of course, I also want to hug Emilia."
"Does Shichen also want to hug me? Why?"
Do I need a reason to hug you? What's your reason for wanting to hug me?
"Um... I just want to hug you."
"That's fine then, isn't it? I just wanted to hug you too."
"That's it~"
"Oh, and don't hug anyone else," Shi Chen reminded him.
"Of course I know, I'm not some random girl," Emilia said irritably.
"Oh, so you've decided on me?"
"What determination?" Emilia blinked in confusion.
"...It's nothing." Shi Chen's lips twitched slightly.
Emilia knows she shouldn't hug men casually, but she doesn't realize why it's okay for her to hug him.
Well, she's innocent and naive anyway, and doesn't know much; she needs guidance.
It's good to enjoy her actions that come from the heart.
The two then went back to their room and started packing their things, though there wasn't much to pack.
Soon it was lunch time.
After lunch, Shichen confessed to Crusch that he would be leaving the next day.
Crusch didn't really want Toki to leave, but she was busy and had no reason to keep him.
Shichen didn't care about Crusch's reluctance. After promising to inform her of any news about the white whale, he prepared to leave.
The things he and Emilia did in the royal capital that afternoon reached Crusch's ears.
"I never expected there was such a trick..." Crusch couldn't help but exclaim.
