"Yes."
Rem smiled and hugged her sister, comforting her, "Sister, don't worry, I did it voluntarily."
"Voluntary... How could that be? You must have been threatened, right? My lovely sister..." Ram looked incredulous.
"I truly did it willingly, regardless of whether I was kissed by the time of birth..."
"Wait, there's no need to say that." Shichen quickly interrupted Rem's self-destruction.
"Oh~"
"Kiss? Kiss what? No way? Really?"
Although she was interrupted, Ram still managed to hear a bit of what was said. And she wasn't completely clueless; her gaze kept lingering on Rem's mouth as she looked utterly bewildered.
"Hehe~" Rem just laughed smugly; the answer was obvious.
"Damn it!" Ram glared angrily at Shichen, looking like he was about to charge at him and fight him to the death.
“…Never mind her, let’s go find Roswaal first.” Toki shook his head and turned to Emilia for a question.
"What does 'shichen' mean, dear?" Emilia clearly heard it too.
"This... means intimacy. You know about my relationship with Rem."
"I see. But it seems like Ram doesn't mean that."
"Lady Emilia, Tokiomi is lying... um!" Before Ram could finish speaking, Rem covered her mouth.
"Lies?" Emilia tilted her head.
"Shichen, are you lying to me? Didn't you say you wouldn't lie to me?"
"I'm not lying to you, it really means intimacy." Shi Chen smiled.
"I always feel like time is turning me into a child," Emilia pouted unhappily.
"It's true, you can ask Parker if you don't believe me." Shichen reached out and ruffled Emilia's hair to comfort her.
"Well, I don't know either," Puck appeared in Emilia's mind, crossed his arms, and said meaningfully.
"Shichen, you really are treating my child like this."
“...Parker, there are some things that Emilia shouldn’t know.”
“I think so too, but Emilia is all grown up now and should know.” Parker nodded his little head.
Aren't you afraid she'll go astray?
"Aren't you here?"
"Maybe I'm the one who led her astray."
"Well, I don't think I can stop it either," Parker said with a smile, spreading his hands.
"I can't stop it... There's nothing I can do even if you're here." Shi Chen pouted.
"Hmph~ You'll have to figure that out yourself."
"We should just send you to be with Subaru and let the two of you get married."
"Why bring Subaru into this? Besides, I'm male."
"It's alright, I agree to this marriage."
"No, no, no, even if you agree, it won't work, right? I'm not that kind of elf."
"Shichen, Parker, what are you talking about?" Emilia couldn't help but interrupt.
"It's alright, don't worry about it." Shi Chen continued to stroke her soft silver hair.
"Hmph~ They must be treating me like a child again."
"Oh dear, you'll find out eventually. Let's go talk to Rotzwaal about what to do next."
"Um...okay."
Emilia reluctantly agreed, knowing that the royal selection was more important now, not to mention that she had already wasted several days staying at the Crusch mansion.
However, she wasn't without a chance.
"Rem, I'm entrusting Ram to you," Toki said to Rem.
"Don't worry, Shichen, I will comfort my sister." Rem nodded earnestly in reply.
"Ugh—! Ugh—!" Ram struggled, but Rem held her tightly, so she couldn't speak at all and could only watch helplessly as the hour passed.
Betty and Esther didn't care about the royal selection; they went straight back to Shichen's room.
Rotzwaal didn't go anywhere; he's been staying obediently at the mansion these past few days.
When Shichen and Emilia found him, they began to discuss their next plan.
Rotswald plans to announce his support for Emilia directly on the border. News of the royal selection and the candidates will come over sooner or later.
However, given Emilia's half-elf status, she will likely face resistance from those around her.
But Shichen still agreed to Rotzwaal's decision.
Since the issue of how people view Emilia can be resolved in the capital, it can also be resolved through editing and agreement.
The agreed-upon method remains valid.
"Rotswald, your worries are a bit unnecessary. No, don't you care what other people think?"
"What do you mean by 'time'?" Rotzwaal asked, adopting a formal demeanor.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter anyway. Besides, your information is too outdated. You don't know about what's happening in the capital, do you?"
"What's wrong with the capital?" Rotzwaal asked, frowning.
"Go and find out for yourself. I'll handle the things around you."
"Is it......"
"Come, since we have nothing to do now, let me tell you the story of the Giant of Light, the Horned Madman."
"..."
Chapter 525 A Kiss That Proves I Like You
One day, the once peaceful village was suddenly attacked by an unknown parasitic life form...
"Run!"
"But......"
"Quickly find the weakness of the monster Magnia. Welcome to the next episode of the Horned Giant of Light. The fog is coming... Okay, that's all for now."
Shichen sipped the tea that Rem had poured for him, moistening his throat.
I've talked so much in one go, my mouth is all dry.
"Hey~ Is that all for now? I want to hear more, what am I going to do~" Roswaal looked like he hadn't heard enough.
"Idiot, if you finish explaining it all at once, what's the point of listening?" Shi Chen replied irritably.
“It seems so…”
"How can you say Lord Rotswaal is an idiot... But the story of the Horned Madman is indeed quite good." Ram looked conflicted, both captivated by the beauty of the story and annoyed by Tokiomi's attitude towards Rotswaal.
"You actually listened to that? Don't you have any thoughts?" Shichen looked at Ram strangely.
"Thoughts? What thoughts? This monster that's about to appear looks a bit like a beluga whale. Shichen, are you implying something about the beluga whale?" Ram asked, looking confused.
"Rem, see? Your sister doesn't care at all, she's even forgotten about it. What do you still care about?"
"The time doesn't matter to Rem anymore!" Rem said with a grin.
"Really?"
"Hmm, I'm more concerned about when you'll do the follow-up work on Rem."
Time: "......"
This happened right in front of Ram and Rotzwaal; it's unbelievable that she dared to say anything.
"Damn it! You're not allowed to do anything bad to Rem!" Ram glared at Tokichi through gritted teeth.
Shichen ignored her and said helplessly to Rem, "Rem, can't we talk about this in private? Aren't you ashamed?"
"Shy? Rem isn't shy at all, she's just happy."
"Never mind... let's have dinner first, I'm a little hungry."
"Okay~ I'll go make it with my sister now." Rem excitedly pulled Ram to make dinner.
"Wait, is it really necessary to involve your sister? What can she do?"
"Hmph~ You underestimate me, don't you?"
"My older sister is very capable."
"...You still blindly praise your sister like that?"
"Hehe~"
After Rem and Ram left, Tokiomi didn't intend to stay with Roswaal either, and left directly.
Two days have passed since Rotzwaal announced his support for Emilia.
The area was very lively on the first day, but it returned to calm by the afternoon of the second day.
Shi Chen, along with Emilia, has already smoothed over their differences, and now many people are actively supporting her.
Alam Village was the first to be settled, since Shichen and Emilia often went there to play before, and everyone was already familiar with them, as well as Petra and the other children.
In fact, Rem and her friends often went to Alam Village to buy things, and the villagers were always very friendly to the Rotswald family.
Although they shared the same instinctive fear of the silver-haired half-elf Emilia, a little explanation changed their minds.
Familiarity is very important.
Petra and the other children didn't care about Emilia's appearance at all; they liked her looks. After all, they were children and didn't have worldly views yet, not to mention the time of day.
Time was their savior; with Time around, they wouldn't have shown any resistance towards Emilia at all.
