Chapter 1568?(?ˊ?ˋ)?* ??Gathering Together

The latest website: The Qinlong Kingdom Lugnica has a vast land, a large population, rich and diverse geographical scenery and climate patterns. It is a multi-ethnic and multi-ethnic country.

Although, recently, due to the death of all 'known' members of the royal family, the blood of the royal family has been severed, so that the kingdom has experienced some moderate turmoil, and the martial law has always been in effect, and the country's responsibilities have also been temporarily entrusted The "Sage Council" is in charge, but the economy of most parts of the kingdom is still gradually recovering, and is in a relatively peaceful and stable state.

Today, in fact, the people of the kingdom have gradually begun to get used to the life without the king and the royal family. From their point of view, it seems to be no different from the past, because the nobles and the upper echelons of the kingdom still occupy a lot of resources And oppressing them from all aspects, it will not be improved because of the absence of the king, but it will become a little more unscrupulous.

Therefore, the people at the bottom do not care about the king election activities that the kingdom was carrying out some time ago.

Although they have also heard that some candidates for the king's election gave a king's election speech of "everyone is equal" or "shattering privileges" at the throne meeting, but... they don't need to think about that kind of thing, The sages, knights, and aristocrats who currently control the kingdom's political power will definitely not allow such new kings who clearly intend to oppose the privileged class and vested interests to take the throne.

The people at the bottom of the kingdom think that the new king of Lugnica will definitely start from Priscilla Balier, the 'Scarlet Bride' who represents the interests of the old nobles, and Crusch Kars, who represents the interests of the new nobles. Teng and the chairman of the Great Chamber of Commerce, Anastasia Hexin, who represents the interests of wealthy businessmen, right?

After all, only the old aristocrats, new aristocrats, and big merchants have the financial and strength to compete for the king, and Emilia, who is only supported by a little-known frontier earl (Roswaal L. Mezas), And Felut, a homeless girl who was found out from the slums and had no supporters except Reinhardt Van Astrea, really made it impossible for people to see any hope of winning.

but……

Today, all of the above ideas that were originally deeply rooted in the hearts of the people have finally been shaken!

Because, it is said that the silver-haired witch Emilia, who was originally only supported by a little-known little count on the border, that half-human, half-elf (half-demon) whom no one is optimistic about, has obtained a mysterious and powerful arcane magician s help!

As for the archmage, she not only made a big disturbance in the palace, defeated all the generals of the palace knights, and made the sages and nobles helpless, but also alone defeated the white whale, one of the three great monsters that have ravaged the world for more than four hundred years. So much so that he changed instantly and became the hottest person in Wang Xuan?

At this time,

In the highest court area of ​​Lugnica Royal City, which is also the first floor of the royal family’s land, a group of elders of the Sage Council, those elders representing the old and new knights, the old and new nobles, and the interests of merchants big and small are having a meeting in a secret room with.

"..."

"Everyone!"

"Tell me, now, what should I do?"

"It's been discussed before..."

"Do you want to announce the recovery of Hasta Territory, that is, the territory of the former Roswaal L. Mezas Frontier Boss? Also, do you want to continue to announce and implement the disciplinary measures against the little girl?"

"Right now, everyone here must have heard about the things that are spreading in the city. Therefore, today's matter must be decided early!"

"above……"

"That's the topic of our meeting today!"

It turns out that the reason why the elders of the Wise Men's Association are meeting is to discuss the relevant punishment measures against a bad little girl?

Obviously, they did not intend to easily forgive him for their actions that caused the disturbance in the palace that day, which caused the kingdom and the wise men, knights, and nobles who presided over the meeting to lose face, but still planned to discuss how to deal with the little girl. and its 'illegal' acquired territories to carry out some severe measures?

"..."

"..."

"..."

None of the elders was in a hurry to speak, but they all sat silently in their respective positions, looking at each other, waiting for others to express their opinions first, while some simply went about their business without concern for themselves Hanging high with eyes closed.

"laugh!"

"What else is there to say now, didn't that little girl Crusch from Duke Karsten's family say it?"

Finally, I don't know how long it took, an elder of the Sage Association couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered and said sarcastically:

"White Whale, the most powerful existence among the three monsters was defeated by the little girl alone, and the attack of nearly 2,000 members of the Witch Cult was also crushed by her..."

"A white whale, two thousand members of the Witch Cult, were defeated without even a wave..."

"What do you think we should do?"

"What can I do?!"

The elder who spoke first crossed his hands and fingers, propping up the gorgeous wooden table slightly, glanced at all the people present with a sneer, and then said so.

"But!"

"We can't just do nothing, can we?"

"She made a big fuss in the palace, and it's a fact that she sits on the throne without permission!"

"Furthermore, that incident has spread throughout the capital and even the entire kingdom. The elders of our Wise Men's Association, the Palace Knights, and the nobles who were present at that time have almost lost their face."

"Just like she stepped on the throne, she also stepped on the faces of all of us. This matter must not be let go like this!"

"That's a serious crime, and sending it to the guillotine is considered light!"

Just as the sneering elder finished speaking, a middle-aged elder slapped the table angrily and protested loudly.

"guillotine?"

"laugh!"

"Then you go, I strongly recommend that you and your family's knights and attendants go to the border forest to arrest the other party and question him!"

"If, you are not worried that you will be burned to death like the white whale?"

"!!"

"you!!"

"Okay, everyone, this is a meeting, not a time to quarrel!"

"..."

"snort!"

"Why……"

"Then what do you say?"

"What else can I do, didn't you see that Reinhardt was knocked down by one move?"

"Tsk!"

"or……"

"Shall we ask Shenlong for help?"

"No!"

"Although Shenlong Polukanika did make a covenant with the royal family and promised to keep the peace of the country, but now that the royal family is extinct, the effectiveness of that covenant is debatable before a new king is elected!"

"Besides..."

"I don't think Shenlong will take care of these things. After all, that little girl didn't reach the level of endangering the kingdom. On the contrary, she also attacked the white whale and the Witch Cult. Now she is quite prestigious in the capital."

"yes……"

"I've heard that too. It's said that many merchants and nobles are secretly visiting them in the border forest!"

"..."

"..."

As we talked, the elders in the Sage Association didn't know if it was because they were worried, or because they had ghosts in their hearts? Anyway, when a certain elder said something in a yin and yang tone, there was a sudden silence in the secret room.

Obviously, it seems that the elders in the Wise Men's Association are not monolithic.

They represent the interests of all parties, and some of them are more thoughtful. Some of them must have quietly arranged their retreat in advance, and it is even very likely that some of them have secretly sent someone or visited the little girl's house in person. Di and saw the half-demon Emilia.

"Everyone!"

"I want to ask a question: On the day she rioted in the palace, did any of us living in the Knights lose their lives?"

After a while, suddenly, one of the elders present asked this question.

"ah!"

"It's not..."

"??"

"Your Excellency, what do you mean?"

"snort!"

"Since there is no such thing, why should we be aggressive?"

"Even if the decision is passed today, and it is publicly announced that her territory will be taken back, and she refuses to confer titles and recognize her as a nobleman of the kingdom, what good will that do us?"

"Besides, we don't have the ability to execute it, do we?"

"Since it can't be implemented, it won't do us any good, and it will lead to unpredictable and terrible consequences, so why not just..."

What exactly is going to happen, the elder of the old ghost spirit did not say clearly, because he knew that the members of the elders of the Sage Association who attended the meeting would definitely understand what he meant.

"But……"

"We always have to express an attitude. We can't just pretend that nothing happened, right?"

"That's right!"

"According to me, that half-demon should also be deprived of the qualification to be elected as king!"

"Ahem!"

"??"

"Elder, what do you mean?"

"..."

"I'm thinking, if we do that, will we end up like the white whale here in the palace?"

"!!"

"!!"

"Then you mean..."

After arguing for a while, and then hearing a certain possibility from the great elder of the Wise Men's Association, those elders who were still filled with righteous indignation just now fainted in an instant.

"Everyone!"

"Her strength, I think you are basically aware of her by now, so I propose here: maintain the status quo, we will do nothing!"

"The thing about her making a big fuss in the palace..."

"We don't care, just pretend it never happened!"

"at the same time!"

"We don't know about her crusade against the white whale, and we don't promote or reward her!"

"As for Roswaal L. Mezas's proposal, the report on formally ennobling the little girl as a nobleman and transferring the territory..."

"Continue to put it on hold indefinitely!"

"What do you guys think?"

Finally, after arguing for a long time without reaching a result, seeing that the elders present were deeply afraid of that little girl, and then thinking about what the other party did in the throne hall that day and the miserable situation of the white whale In the end, the elder of the Sage Association who presided over the meeting had to sigh, and said the decision he had already thought about before the meeting.

This is the only way they can handle this matter, otherwise, what else can they do?

"..."

"..."

"..."

The elders of the Sage Council present were silent, and no one spoke again... Obviously, in the absence of a better solution, they planned to acquiesce to the decision of the great elder.

...

At this time, the people in the territory of Hasta and a certain little girl didn't know what happened in Lugnica's capital and the elders of the Sage Council had just passed a resolution on them. They are enjoying their lunch in the dining room at this time.

At this time, besides Anne who was sitting at the top of the long table, Emilia, Betty, Ram, Rem, Petra and after receiving Ram's letter were also sitting and eating. The senior maid Frandelika Bowerman who ran back to her job without hesitation!

Since Anne didn't mind the aristocratic rule that maids were not allowed to sit at the table, she asked everyone to sit together now.

"Mmmmm..."

(￣～￣) Chew!

Annie chewed her own food with great mouthfuls, enjoying the feeling of everyone getting together to eat together.

"..."

At this time, Betty, that is, Beatrice, the great elf, was eating while staring at Annie with vigilance and resentment, not knowing what was going on with her.

"..."

"..."

Of course, the two sisters Ram and Rem also noticed Betty's weird behavior, but they didn't care. They just quietly ate their own food in their positions.

"Delicious!"

"Uh-huh!"

And the little maid Petra is eating like a bad little master. She has not been out of the village for a long time, and she has not been trained well. Pay attention to the etiquette that a maid should have.

Because, these days, she has gotten to know Master Anne well, and she knows Master Anne's temper, and the other party will definitely not punish her for such a thing!

"..."

As for the new 'old man', the maid Frandelika Bowerman, who is the oldest in this mansion but currently has the lowest status, looked at Betty and the hostess with great interest. That funny little master.

She obviously knew why Betty behaved so abnormally.

Because she heard from Ram and Rem that before she returned to the mansion yesterday, Betty, who had a small conflict with the new owner because of certain things, and lost the bet, after reneging for a long time, Finally got caught by that little guy and stuck in the library, and then got spanked?

That, maybe that's why Betty disappeared all day yesterday, didn't come out to eat, and didn't say hello to her.

However, this also sounded a wake-up call to Frandelica. She has secretly decided that she must not easily offend or make mistakes, and absolutely must not let the other party catch any chance to punish herself! That kind of thing is definitely not too difficult for her, a senior maid who has served in Roswaal's mansion for ten years.

"that……"

"Annie!"

"There is something I want to tell you and everyone."

At this time, after basically eating the food on her own plate, Emilia, who had been eating her food silently, finally raised her head and looked at Annie and Everyone at the table said.

"??"

(???.???)????

"What's the matter, do you want this drumstick?"

ヾ(^▽^*)))

As she said that, Annie planned to pass the chicken leg she didn't really want to eat towards the other party.

"!!"

"No! No!"

"Is such that……"

After hastily waving her hands to reject Annie's greasy care, seeing that everyone was looking at her, Emilia slowly expressed her thoughts.

It turned out that after receiving the letter from Roswaal L. Mezzas three days ago, she had been a little worried about the other party's situation.

After all, the other party found her Emilia and recommended her as a candidate for the throne, and he usually took good care of her, but now the other party was injured because of fighting the bishop of the Witch Cult. To a certain extent, the other party It was because she loved Milia that she was injured, so she should go and see if it was reasonable.

"..."

"..."

Ram and Rem looked at each other. Although they wanted to see the original owner, they still needed them in the mansion, so they didn't speak, but waited for their owner Anne's answer.

If their master is going too, then they will definitely follow, but if the master doesn't go, then they will definitely not ask to go with Emilia.

"So you want to see that clown and strange uncle?"

('▽`*)

"He's not dead yet, what's so interesting..."

(??ヮ??)

"Forget it! Go if you want, no one will stop you!"

(??~??) Chewing!

Hearing that it was such a boring little thing, Annie didn't even think about it. She continued to eat her own food while busy nodding her little greasy chin, and agreed on the spot.

In the evening, Rem is going to cook the special ingredient flying dragon eggs bought from the capital. If Emilia is not around, she can eat an extra serving of that rare and rare food. So, what can she do? May mind?

"It would be great!"

"Then I'll leave later, and if Roswaal is okay, I'll be back in two days."

Seeing that Annie didn't object to her plan, Emilia couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"..."

"Lord Emilia, are you sure you want to go to Sanctuary?"

At this time, Frandelica, who had been listening attentively, spoke, and looked at Emilia's silver hair and sharp ears with great interest.

She already knew that Emilia was a half-human, half-elf girl, and her body probably had more than half of the elven blood in her body, so that would be very interesting.

"Yes!"

"What's the matter, Frandelica, is there a problem?"

Emilia was a little baffled, and didn't know why the other party's expression suddenly became so strange.

"No!"

"It's nothing, it's just that I also have some acquaintances in the sanctuary, maybe..."

"May I ask you to carry a message?"

Seeing Emilia's serious expression, and then looking at a little girl lord who only cared about eating and drinking without knowing what was about to happen, Frankelica suddenly laughed, revealing her mouthful sharp teeth.

"..."

(o゜～゜)o

Looking at Emilia, and then at the Frederica who smiled cunningly, Anne still didn't ask anything in the end.

She didn't want to visit that clown uncle at all. She didn't know that guy very well, and she didn't care about his injuries. Therefore, this matter has nothing to do with her great Lord Anne, whoever wants to go can go!

(…)

(●￣(?)￣●)

"ah!"

"Frandelica wants me to help with the conversation?"

"Do you have acquaintances other than Roswaal in the sanctuary? That's great, don't worry, I will definitely bring them for you!"

"Suddenly I'm looking forward to it..."

"What kind of place is Sanctuary?"

After nodding and agreeing to Flandreica's request, Emilia began to yearn for it.
