Looking at Emilia in front of her, she was flustered in order to help herself explain, but Natsuki felt surprisingly relieved. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Compared with the composure that the girl showed on stage just now, she is more like an ordinary girl who makes her chest heat up with love, rather than an unattainable candidate for the throne.

The kind of shameful inferiority, and all the things that the previous candidates showed, are like the words of the devil ringing in their eardrums.

Nanatsuki, who was swallowed up by his emotions, made a choice, and he said to Emilia, who didn't know how to explain, "It's okay, Amilia, I've made up my mind. ”

"What determination? Wait a minute, Pleiades, wait, what do you want to do. ”

Leaving the sound of dissuasion behind his ears, Natsuki strode forward, meeting the gaze of the sage congregation looking at him, gritting his teeth and plucking up courage to raise his head.

"First meeting, all of you. My name is Natsuki Pleiades, and I work as a valet at Rozval Mansion, and at the same time—"

Imitated the knights' shoulder salute, and Natsuki spoke under the rapid heartbeat.

"First Knight of Lord Emilia, I would like to see you here, and I would like to ask for your kind attention in the future. ”

Holding up her index finger high, Caiyue Pleiades, who was standing upright, only felt that her heart was about to explode, and it was not just the level of nervousness. Although he didn't stop comforting himself in his heart, "It's all for the sake of Emilia who is standing next to him", his ears are also carefully watching the movements of everyone.

The expected outcome did not materialize, but an atmosphere called embarrassment spread through the air at a visible rate. Seeing the complicated and playful eyes looking around at him, Cai Yue realized that some things might not be carried out according to his imagination.

"Well, knight, is it?" McRotto repeated, but his gaze was on Rozval.

The Earl, who was accustomed to showing himself as a clown, and had not even panicked in the previous accident, said with the same embarrassment: "Ah, he is a little ignorant. The fact that Mistress Emilia doesn't have a knight she can trust at the moment is a real concern. But you can't just let someone act as a knight because of that. ”

"After all, the qualifications of the first knight must not only have unparalleled loyalty to the master, but also the ability to protect the monarch, and at the same time become the blade of the monarch to open the way forward, at least these things must be sufficient. ”

The last sentence seemed to be said to Natsuki Pleiades, but Rozval's gaze couldn't help but look at the Kingdom knights standing in a row on the left. Their faces were filled with mockery, disgust, and disgust from the time Natsuki called himself a knight......

The worst happens, a purple-haired knight comes out of the crowd, and the chief knight, who feels the wrath of his colleagues, Julius, must step up and vindicate the thousands of knights in the kingdom.

"That's not enough, Count Rozval. Julius walked up to the crowd, his face full of gentleness but now full of indifference, and after saluting, he continued: "I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I have to ask him anything I say. ”

Okay, I think you've been very upset for a long time, Cai Yue raised her eyebrows at him, looking like she wasn't afraid of anything. On the contrary, Emilia was even more worried, but Rozval, who was standing closely behind her, gently pulled her sleeve and told the girl to remain silent.

What follows is no longer the king's choice. Rash words of dissuasion will cause disgust among the knights of the kingdom, and the previous speech will be really useless.

"There's no need to be so nervous, I only have one question, and you'll be happy when you're done. Julius looked at the boy in front of him.

"I look nervous? In order to ease the tension, the question will be asked tomorrow, so don't mention it now, right?"

"Don't do the Harlequin's behavior, if you really claim to be Mistress Emilia's knight. ”

"What does that mean?"

Literally. Julius' eyes were full of annoyance, "You still don't seem to understand, you just revealed that you are a knight, here in this Lugonica Kingdom Guards Knights gathered!"

Julius spread out his hand, and as his words fell, the knights in line straightened their postures at the same time, stomped on the ground with a precise movement, and then drew their swords and saluted.

"Really...... It's really a neat paragraph, so I practiced hard today. Natsuki swallowed her saliva and found the steps for herself.

"Exactly. Julius graciously admitted, "In order to show the majesty of the kingdom, we maintain a high degree of consciousness and awareness every day, not only in body and mind, but also in the proper manners of etiquette." And you, do you have the consciousness to match us?"

In the face of Julius's questioning, Caiyue's panic became more and more obvious, but the act of biting his lower lip made him still stubbornly insist.

"Enlightenment is not a great thing, I will make Emilia king, and I will fulfill that child's wishes. ”

Hearing Caiyue's words, Emilia showed an extremely sad expression.

"Don't you think this answer is arrogant?" If Julius's eyes were still bored before, they were completely ignored at the moment, "Do you think you have this ability?"

"I don't think I'm capable enough, but ......" Natsuki mustered up the last strength of her body, "even so, I will still make Emilia king, and this will not be lost to any of you." ”

"You still don't get it. Julius took a step forward, his eyes approaching, "It's been denied to this point, why are you still standing here?"

"Do you really have the power to realize this heart?" Julius's unceremonious words tore apart the young man in front of him, "If you can't understand your own power, you will be as ugly as you are now." ”

"Since you've always called yourself a 'knight', why don't you dare to look back at the person you want to stand side by side, and let the other party show such an expression, it can really be regarded as a 'knight'. ”

Julius said something that Natsuki had been deliberately ignoring all along, and the boy with panic, fear, and residual hope turned his head to look at the girl.

"Already...... Is it okay?" the silver-haired girl lowered her head sadly, not daring to meet the young man's gaze, "Pleiades." ”

The words that rang in the boy's ears were accompanied by the taunts of the ministers, the smile on Priscilla's lips, the confusion of Kurtius, the confusion of Anatahiria, and the worry of Firut......

"No...... No, my mind ......" like a teenager shrouded in darkness and ruthlessness, I feel so helpless at the moment.

"That's enough, Julius. ”

If you dissuade him, let Julius, who was about to deliver the final blow to the enemy, stop his lips and look at the person who spoke.

Arashi said to the person behind him, "Ronnie, throw him out." ”

"Yes, teacher. Ronnie replied without hesitation.

It would not seem strange to banish a servant from the Earl's Court as the son of a duke, and everyone acquiesced in the progress of the matter.

Facing the struggling Natsuki Pleiades, Ronnie leaned on the other party's collar and said in a low voice: "If you still want to save some face for Lord Emilia, get out of here, you idiot who tramples on the hard work of others at will." ”

Is it true that he is such a person? Obviously what he wants is not such an ending? Ren Ronnie dragged himself, and Natsuki Pleiades looked at Emilia for the last time.

The girl who kept her head down, the girl who endured the criticism, her face was full of sadness, it was the person he had sworn to protect, but he didn't look at it before he left.

The open door closed again, and in the middle of that, Natsuki heard the words coming from inside.

"Candidates who follow their own will and aim for the throne, raise their heads. ”
