Chapter 30: The Assembly of the Chosen Daughters (Part II)
"- Knight Rheinharut, Van Asterea! Advance! ”
"Here!"
Suddenly, the voice of Marcos, the head of the Knights of the Guards, resounded through this small square-like space. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Rheinharut stepped forward in a dignified manner, saluted the four daughters of the king's chosen one, and stood in front of Marcos on the stage.
"Well, Rheinharut. Report! ”
"Yes!"
Taking a step forward, Marcos vacated the center of the stage. Rheinharut, who stepped forward, looked at the Sage Society with an expression that had no momentum at all, under the attention of the audience.
"Honorable Men of the Ages. Please allow me to report on the completion of the mission to which the Knights of the Guard, Rheinharut, Van and Astrea, belong. ”
"Well, let everyone hear that."
Hearing McRoosevelt's instructions, Rheinharut, who turned around, looked at all the people in Hiroma.
"The Witch of the Dragon, the King's Alternate, the last fifth, has been found!"
The commotion began to spread among the standing knights, and the expressions of the candidates echoed each other, changing strongly in their expressions. Fighting spirit, euphoria, boredom, silence these feelings.
The stalled election is finally about to begin, and what kind of character is the fifth daughter of the king's choice?
"Your Highness, please!"
Rheinharut called briefly. The doorkeeper saluted at the voice, and the door slowly opened.
――From the other side of the door, a man accompanied by a maid was summoned into the throne.
Shaking the light yellow dress, the gesture of stepping on the velvet blanket with high heels. Meticulously groomed with sparkling blonde hair. Powerful red eyes,A girl with tiger teeth that are quite characteristic like a prank.。
"She is a person who is honored as the chosen daughter of the king—her name is Filut!"
However, just as Firut appeared, it was clearly deliberate to step out of the civilian clique.
"Rude, can you excuse me?"
It was a middle-aged man with a hunched back who had dark circles under his unhealthy eyes that were very conspicuous. Nervously stroking his gorgeous beard.
"As for the ceremony of the election of the king, starting with the Knights of the Guards, there are no words about the dedication of the Knights of the Kingdom. Without the power of your lords, it would not have been possible to put the situation in order in such a short period of time, and for this, on behalf of the people, I would like to express my great gratitude! ”
"Honest words."
Marcos, the head of the Knights of the Guards, said modestly to the civilian officers who came out.
"However, although I don't want to say this, although I follow the situation indicated by the Dragon Calendar Stone, don't you think there are some problems in the selection of candidates?"
"What do you mean?"
"What I'm trying to say is that the qualifications to be a dragon witch may have over-attracted the attention of the knights, and despised their qualifications to wear the crown?"
For the hunchbacked man who spoke angrily with an arrogant attitude, there was a voice of approval from the civilian clique that "yes is".
"The covenant with the dragon is more important than anything. Since Rugunika existed as a pro-dragon kingdom, the kingdom could not be established without an alliance. But to put too much emphasis on the covenant and to despise the people is to put the cart before the horse. ”
"In other words, our knights are too focused on finding the witch of the dragon, and mistake the person who is worthy of the king who should be sworn to be loyal?"
"Yes, there are some inconsistencies in the statement, but that's it."
There was some frustration at Marcos's blunt statement, but it was too late for men to ask for a more roundabout one. For a long period of time, everyone in the Order worked hard to achieve results on this almost impossible subject. And if they are provoked on this achievement, then of course their mood cannot be calm.
Hiroma's chaos began to expand. Led by the opinion just now, the civilian-bureaucratic clique began to express its dissatisfaction one after another.
"At the same time as the shrine maiden is the king. That is to say, the consciousness of becoming a king may not be enough. ”
"Even if you dress up on the outside, your essence and attitude will show you."
"Tasteful enough. Education is also not enough. Can this also be said to be revered as a king? ”
There is no doubt that the civil officials hit the death hole of more than half of the daughters of the king's chosen ones in the audience, three-fifths.
Needless to say, the children who grew up in the slums had only begun to be trained by the Chosen Daughter a few days ago; Like her, Anastasia is now the president of the prestigious Hexin Chamber of Commerce on the mainland, but she was born in the slums of the Kingdom of Kalaraki.
And the hardest hit is that it can be seen from the side face that Emilia is enduring pain.
'Half-demon', this is the name given to a half-elf after the Witch of Jealousy nearly destroyed the world. Because of the reason why the jealous witch who was a half-elf almost destroyed the world, the half-elf was discriminated against by others, and even the status of the rest of the sub-humans was greatly reduced.
Therefore, the great battle known as the 'Asiatic War' broke out fifty years ago, and it lasted for ten years before ending with each country elevating the status of the subhumans and treating them as amateurs (ordinary people). But the discrimination against half-elves is still deep-rooted, not to mention that Emilia looks strangely similar to the jealous witch Satila.
"It's really ugly."
Luo Xing, who saw this dispute in his eyes, shook his head with a sneer. Once the Knights admit that they have made a mistake in choosing the daughter of the king, then the daughter of the king will have to choose again, and the choice will definitely be postponed. In this way, the power in the hands of the civil officials, which had been magnified by the absence of the king, would not be taken back.
Moreover, they can even insert their own people into the Knights for greater benefit because of this.
As for the fate of the dragon kingdom itself, isn't there still a dragon? When it really doesn't work, quickly choose a random king and let Shenlong solve the problem.
"Silence!"
Like a thunderbolt roaring, the sound from Luo Xing's mouth spread throughout the small square, and the scene of the civil officials' symphonic verbal speech suddenly fell silent, or surprised, or angry, or sneered at Luo Xing who came out of the knight group.
"Actually, I'm quite in favor of your suggestion."
Walking in front of the somewhat hunchbacked civil officials who came out of the ranks, Luo Xing's golden pupils shone with a ruthless light. Although he said yes, looking at his appearance, no one would think that this was really what he wanted to express.
"Indeed, although the identity of the Dragon Shrine Maiden is important, it should not ignore the qualifications that should be required as a 'king'."
"So, please go and explain to Shenlong-'Ah, I'm sorry, we think that a few people selected by your Dragon Calendar Stone are not qualified to participate in the king's election, so we will eliminate them first', let's do this."
"This, this, I ......"
As soon as he heard Luo Xing's words, this civil official immediately stood up.
What are you kidding, the pro-dragon kingdom can be said to be a country that can only exist based on the favor of the dragon Polkenny. Let's not mention whether the other party will leave in anger because of this, dare to slap Shenlong in the face like this, his own life safety alone cannot be guaranteed, right?
"Shut up if not! How did an incompetent guy like you get to where you are now if you want to do things but don't want to take any risks? ”
