I can copy the beautiful girl

I didn't care and just asked softly, "So, Reinhardt, do you want to give it a try? Do you want to take a gamble?"

"If you don't acknowledge Emilia as king, I will kill everyone in this throne room."

"And if you still refuse to acknowledge Emilia as king after killing everyone, then I will kill everyone in the capital."

"And if you still refuse to acknowledge Emilia as king after killing everyone in the capital, then I will kill everyone in the Kingdom of Lugnica."

"You are invincible, Reinhardt. But as long as you refuse to acknowledge Emilia as king, I will destroy everything you wish to protect, bit by bit, right before your eyes, until you acknowledge Emilia as king. Do I possess the power to carry out this threat, Reinhardt? Will you try?"

The dragon sword was half out of its scabbard, but Reinhardt's movements were already stiff, and his expression was also stiff.

He didn't dare to gamble.

Of course, at this moment, Reinhardt has probably also obtained the same lie-detecting Divine Protection as Crusch in order to verify the truth of my words.

So, he knew I wasn't lying.

Of course, it's possible that what I said was just my own belief, not the real truth—but Reinhardt didn't dare to bet on it.

Because he already knew that I was not lying, he knew one thing very well: the consequence of losing the bet was that everyone would die.

Yes, I wasn't lying about that threat either.

Lying can never really serve as a deterrent, so what I said is the truth - if Reinhard dares to try to see if he can kill me, then I will really kill everyone present, and then use this method to force Reinhard to surrender to Emilia little by little, and use this method to force Emilia to ascend the throne.

Of course, it was the truth, but this truth was based on my understanding of Reinhardt.

It is because I know he doesn't dare to gamble that I say such sincere words.

"Alright, Sir Reinhardt, please step aside."

At this time, Miklotov finally spoke again.

"Lord Natsuki Subaru, I accept your threat. Since you've caused Lord Reinhard to show such an expression, I acknowledge that you possess the power to truly threaten us."

"It's not me who possesses such power, but Emilia."

Hearing what I said, Miklotov showed a look of realization, then looked at Emilia: "So, Lady Emilia, having displayed such power, what are your plans?"

"fair."

Emilia said without hesitation:

"I want fairness."

"fair?"

"Once again, I would like to introduce myself to the honorable Council of Sages. My name is Emilia, and I command Puck, the great spirit who controls the mana of fire and who has long resided in the permafrost world of the Eriol Great Forest. Natsuki Subaru is my knight. The villagers nearby all call me that..."

There was a pause, and Emilia looked at the people of the Sages' Association on the overlook.

"The 'Ice Witch' who lives in the Frozen Forest."

——Witch.

The moment this word appeared, the atmosphere in the hall changed again.

Everyone kept their mouth shut and dared not speak.

only one person.

Miklotov boldly asked again, "Then, let me ask again, by threatening with such powerful force, what kind of will do you intend to demonstrate, Lady Emilia? ——What kind of fairness does Her Highness the Ice Witch desire?"

"As a half-elf, I'm likely to be treated with prejudice because I share similarities with witches. However, since this completely eliminates any possibility, I categorically refuse."

"...In other words, what you're hoping for by threatening us with absolute force is equal treatment with other candidates in the race for the throne, right?"

"Yes, fairness is extremely precious to me, and so all I ask of you is this—'fair treatment.' Using the pacted elves and knights as sword and shield to seize the throne, I will never commit such an unfair act."

Emilia's voice was firm and loud, echoing softly in the ears of everyone in the throne room:

"Compared to other candidates, I have many shortcomings and am immature. There are so many things I don't know, and the things I need to learn are as overwhelming as a mountain. Despite this, because I know my goal is at the top, I have never thought of letting up."

"Whether my efforts are worthy of the throne remains unclear, but my desire to continue striving is unwavering. This desire alone will not be lost to the other candidates, so please look at me, Emilia without a last name, with fairness. Neither an ice witch nor a silver-haired half-elf, please look at me."

The last words were accompanied by a sound like a plea.

However, the strong will and desire infused in his words remained unwavering.

For a moment, silence fell in the hall, not because there was nothing to say, but because of waiting.

Soon, Bordeaux, who was under everyone's gaze, let out a long sigh.

"My opinion will not change. It will remind people of the 'Witch of Jealousy' and will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the people. In the battle for the throne, my disadvantageous position will remain unchanged."

He used his deep voice to directly challenge Emilia's previous claim.

Because of this answer, Emilia's blue-purple pupils showed a hint of sadness.

"but--"

However, Bordeaux continued:

"No one is allowed to interfere with people's hearts, so you cannot decide how others view you. However, I would like to apologize for my earlier disrespect—no, I would like to apologize for my rudeness, Emilia-sama."

Bordeaux knelt on one knee on the spot and offered the highest etiquette to express respect.

"You are honorable, Lady Emilia."

Volume 65: Chapter : Priscilla (Additional Updates with Recommended Votes)

"You really scared me to death just now, Subaru."

After the meeting, Reinhardt smiled brightly as if nothing had happened.

"Sorry, I was just bluffing a little to support Emilia. Please forgive me."

"Bluster..." Reinhard shook his head, looked at me deeply, and said with a smile, "Whether a person is bluffing or lacking self-awareness, or is truly confident despite having a clear understanding... I can still tell the difference between these things."

"As expected of the invincible Reinhardt, his judgment is excellent."

"Saying I'm invincible is too shameful for me. Even if I'm arrogant, I won't consider myself invincible. After all, the world is big."

"No matter how big this world is, he is still your grandson."

"Grandson?" Reinhard tilted his head.

"Don't worry, just complaining."

"Foolish man." At this time, Priscilla came over and interrupted, "Since the show is over, quickly return the clown who entertained me."

"You really care about your subordinates."

Having said that, I turned and walked out the door.

"Let's go and find our Lady Beatrice."

"Ah, wait for me! Subaru!" Emilia hurriedly followed, and Roswaal also walked out of the throne room with a smile.

Priscilla raised her eyebrows slightly, then followed.

Then, when I saw Beatrice, I threw the black ball to her.

"Beatrice, I just accidentally used magic to seal someone. Now it's up to you to remove the magic."

"Huh?" Beatrice said in surprise, "Why would Betty do such a thing? Can't you figure it out yourself?"

I said noncommittally, "This magic might be used against me in the future. When that happens, I'll have to ask you, Beatrice, to save me. So please study this magic thoroughly. It's also a Yin magic, so it would be beneficial for you to study it thoroughly, Beatrice."

"Huh? What are you talking about? Isn't this your magic?"

"No. This is the magic of the man sealed in the black ball in your hand. It's magic specifically used against me. I just took it and used it against him."

Beatrice frowned, then lowered her head to look intently at the black ball. Gradually, her expression grew serious. "This... even if Betty considers herself a Great Elf who has mastered the entire Yin Magic system perfectly, analyzing this magic wouldn't be easy. This is undoubtedly a Yin Magic technique that surpasses Betty's... For someone to possess such skills... could this magic be..."

Beatrice's expression became very complicated.

Yes, the only one who could be more proficient in Yin Magic than Beatrice is the Greedy Witch Echidna.

She is the mother who created Beatrice and Parker, two artificial elves.

"How's it going? Cute little elf? Can you rescue that clown?"

"How dare you call Betty that? It seems unrealistic to expect mere humans to understand Betty's greatness."

"Because you are so cute, I will tolerate your rudeness."

"You're so relaxed." I looked at Priscilla and couldn't help but say, "I wouldn't be surprised if you drew your Yang Sword and slashed at me right now."

Priscilla raised her eyebrows, opened her folding fan to cover her mouth, and sneered, "Do you think I'm a fool as clueless as you?"

"No matter what grudges you and that clown have in the future, if you only intend to retaliate and don't intend to kill him directly to eliminate future trouble, then he deserves it, doesn't he?"

"Speaking of which, I'm a little curious. You said this magic was specifically designed to target you, and that only this clown who's fallen at my feet can use it. So how did you learn it? It's unlikely that he taught you in the future, right?"

When faced with this kind of question, I answered directly and truthfully: "It's simple. If I saw it, then his ability is mine."

"Even I would like to say something like this. You truly possess a power that is truly pitiful."

"Is it pitiful?"

"Of course it's pitiful. Even the joy of hard work has been taken away. The sight of mortals striving for a goal is the most beautiful thing."

"But I don't like working hard. Sorry, I'm a lazy person."

"To feel pity for someone, I don't need to know their feelings. So if I think you are pitiful, then you are pitiful. Do you understand, fool?"

"OK, I understand, Princess. You have such big breasts. I really want to eat them."

"You are such a rude mortal! Although my beauty deserves to be known to the whole world, you only have the responsibility to admire and praise me, and you have no right to criticize me."

"I'm sorry, my comments are for myself. As for how you feel about it, that's your business. What does it have to do with me?"

"Hahaha, a mere fool, but it seems you can also moonlight as a clown. You can indeed make me laugh."

At this point, Beatrice couldn't help herself. "Have you two said enough? If you have, get out! This is too annoying. Betty can't even concentrate on studying this magic."

Then we went out obediently.

Then Emilia finally couldn't wait to ask, "Subaru, what did you mean when you said Priscilla would die? How can we save her?"

Emilia vividly demonstrated what it means when the emperor is not anxious but the eunuch is.

Priscilla herself didn't feel anything about it, but Emilia actually cared so much about it.

"Half-demon, just take care of your own business. You don't need to worry about my affairs."

See, Priscilla doesn't appreciate it at all.

"No matter how I die in the future, it will be my own choice. I will not make a choice that I will regret. Just knowing this is enough."

"That's not enough, is it? Even though you're mean, there's no way you'd just sit there and watch if you knew you were going to die, right?"

I'm with you, Emilia, that's what's so endearing about you.

So, I gave a direct answer: "Don't worry, Emilia, nothing will happen within a year. A year later, when the empire faces a major disaster, that's when she will die."

"Empire?" Emilia looked stunned. "Why is it suddenly brought up?"

"Empire...Catastrophe..."

Priscilla, who had originally looked indifferent, finally changed her expression at this moment and became slightly serious.

Then, she sat on a chair beside her, crossed her legs, and said lightly:

"Foolish man, tell me everything you know. I am now interested in hearing what you have to say about the future."

Volume 66: Chapter Beauty is Justice

"Brother, you really are going too far."

Al, who finally escaped, said in a weak voice:

"I was despairing the moment you used that magic. Do you have to be so scary?"

"I just reversed what you'll do to me in the future. If that's you, you should understand what I mean, right?"

"…" Al was silent for a moment, then he asked directly, "Is the princess's death something that will happen soon? If I really did attack you, it would only be because the princess is gone. After all, I have clearly given up this goal... So what's going on?"

"It'll take a year, no need to rush. I've told Priscilla everything I can, you can go back and ask her."

"Brother, are you serious? Do you think our princess will really explain the situation to me? She wouldn't have the patience for that."

Al sighed.
