"Huh? Sisters?" Emilia was taken aback and looked at her in confusion.

"It seems Shichen didn't tell you anything, but that's fine, it's better if I tell you myself."

Crusch paused, looked at Emilia, and said with a determined look in her eyes, "I'm going to take your time."

"Seizing the opportune moment...wait?"

Emilia paused, blinked, and suddenly understood: "Crusch, what do you mean?"

“That’s right, I admire Shi Chen very much, and now I’m completely captivated by him. I want to marry him.”

"H-How could this be...?" Emilia exclaimed in surprise.

She originally thought that when Crusch said they would become enemies, he meant that she was an enemy of the royal selection, but she never expected that it was because of the time.

In other words, Crusch is going to become her rival in love!

Come to think of it, with such an excellent and powerful birth time, it's only natural that it would be coveted.

but!

"I'm sorry, Crusch."

Emilia straightened her expression, her face equally determined. She reached out and hugged Shi Chen's arm tightly: "Shi Chen and I are already a couple."

"Really? I knew it." Crusch wasn't surprised at all.

"But I won't give up."

“What?” Emilia frowned.

“Didn’t I just say? It’s possible we’ll become sisters again,” Crusch said with a smile.

"what do you mean?"

"At worst, we can all become lovers with Shichen."

"How could you...?"

"Is this the kind of relationship you and Miss Rem have?"

"But Rem, she..."

"I think Tokichi treats you and Rem the same way. And in this world, isn't it normal for outstanding men to have multiple women?"

“That’s true, but you… I…” Emilia hesitated, unsure of what to say.

Crusch's declaration of war was so sudden that she was caught completely off guard, unprepared, and had never even considered it.

However, she has now realized that Shichen is being watched by others.

And Priscilla from before.

"Can't you accept me?"

Crusch smiled, unconcerned: "I won't give up. I will definitely seize the hour... no, I will become her woman. It's all destined."

"Destined?"

"Lady Beatrice said that I would become the woman of the hour," Crusch said with a playful smile.

This was an expression she had never shown before.

Emilia remained silent; she remembered this incident as well.

She didn't care at the time, but now that she thinks back, it's hard not to care.

It's incredible that they could form a contract with Betty as soon as the time came, and the two of them acted like they had known each other for a long time.

There are definitely things between the two of them that she doesn't know.

That's not the key point; she doesn't like to pry into other people's privacy.

However, she was aware of Betty's existence and her capabilities, in addition to her familiarity with Shichen.

Emilia didn't think Betty was talking nonsense.

“Therefore, I will not give up,” Crusch emphasized again.

“I understand…” Emilia took a deep breath and nodded.

"Is that all?"

“I won’t say anything. This is the call of time, and I won’t make any decisions for him.”

"That's it."

"but......"

Emilia laughed, full of confidence: "The one Shichen likes the most is me."

"That's really... impossible to refute." Crusch sighed helplessly.

“Not only that, I will make Shichen like me even more in the future,” Emilia continued.

"This is really... a difficult situation."

"If you want to be Shichen's woman, if you want to be my sister, then you'd better be prepared for Shichen to spoil me the most~ I hope you won't be jealous then." Emilia smiled brightly.

"I will try my best..." Crusch smiled helplessly.

"I'm saying, you two... is it really appropriate to talk about this kind of topic right now?" Shi Chen, who had been silent all along, finally interjected.

"?" The two looked at him in confusion.

"Aren't you going to ignore the others?" Shi Chen gestured for them to look at everyone.

At this moment, everyone was staring blankly at the three of them.

It wasn't that he overheard Crusch and Emilia's conversation; only Wilhelm could hear them, and he wouldn't care anyway.

The reason everyone is like this is simply because they are still amazed by the power of time, the completion of the mission, and the confusion that follows.

"I almost forgot my duty," Crusch realized.

"You, as the leader, shouldn't forget about everyone," Shi Chen joked.

"That's true... It seems we can only discuss this later."

"It won't be that fast."

"I'll make it end sooner."

As Crusch spoke, she mounted the earth dragon, then faced everyone and raised her sword.

"Everyone—mission accomplished! We have successfully defeated—the White Whale!"

"oh--!"

Excited and thrilled voices echoed across the plain.

The punitive expedition members embraced each other excitedly, the supply team celebrated and applauded, and those who had avenged their enemies smiled.

Many people found it unbelievable that the renowned beluga whale was so easily defeated.

Before they came, they thought they would have to make many sacrifices, or even fail.

Her success was all because of that man.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the time with reverence.

With people like this around, what can't we do?

Is such a person not stronger than the Dragon God?

The people of Crusch wished Crusch could be with Toki.

The people of Anastasia wished their time could be the same as their master's.

Some people envy Emilia for being supported by the hour.

They vaguely sensed how terrifying Emilia's timing was.

However, at this moment, these thoughts should not exist. What should be felt most is the excitement and thrill of attacking the beluga whale.

There's only one thing to do, and that's to celebrate on the spot!

After all, no supplies were consumed at all.

Chapter 539 How to Give Birth

As a leader, Crusch certainly knew what her subordinates needed, and she directly announced that they should celebrate on the spot.

No one refused.

Even Wilhelm was willing, after all, he had finally avenged his great grudge and cooled his desire.

The celebration was too simple—no alcohol, no dancing, just a simple barbecue—but it was enough, and no one was dissatisfied.

Shichen is the busiest person; everyone takes the opportunity to come over and strike up a conversation with him, try to get close to him, and thank him.

He didn't act aloof; he responded to everyone one by one, chatting and laughing.

Emilia and Rem were on either side of him, one simply tilting her head and looking at him with a smile, while the other lovingly fed him.

By the time the celebration ended, it was already dark, so they packed up and headed straight back to the capital.

The city was deserted, but the return of the punitive expedition caused quite a stir, and people came out of their homes one after another to see what was happening.

They never expected the expeditionary force to return so quickly.

Did it fail?

Or did they escape back?

But when they watched the punitive expedition and saw that not only were there no casualties, but the expedition members were also chatting and laughing, they realized something.

"Lady Crusch! Could it be?" someone couldn't help but ask loudly.

Crusch didn't bother to keep it a secret: "That's right, we defeated the White Whale! It was defeated by Emilia's knight, Toki."

She had no intention of claiming credit for anything.

Her pride wouldn't allow her to do that, and she was also proud of the time.

Most importantly, she needs to make the time public so that everyone knows him.
