Chapter 11: Conversation at the Table (2)
"Offended the Earl and disrespectfully the candidate for the Queen... If this plot is not the protagonist, even if there are ten lives, it is not enough..."Thinking of how he has treated this queen candidate so far, Cai Yue couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"I'm sorry to scare you," Emilia said apologetically.
"It's the first time I've been frightened so many times in one day," said Natsuki with a stiff face.
"I'm sorry," Emilia bowed her head a little sadly, "sure enough... It's impossible to have a friend or something... Amilia's expression was a little gloomy.
"Alright, let's get to the point." Rozval interrupted Amilia's self-pity.
"Excuse me, Mistress Emilia."
"Well, okay. I see—" Emilia nodded, reaching into her arms and taking something out of her arms, gently spreading it out to show the crowd.
This action drew Natsuki's gaze to him, and he looked carefully at the things in Emilia's hand, but his attention was more focused on Emilia's delicate and tender hands.
It was a badge carved with a western dragon with its wings outstretched, and the dragon's eyes were made of ornate gems, and when the badge was in Emilia's hand, the gemstone eyes of the dragon emblem shimmered red, which was proof of Emilia's status as the Chosen One (the Witch of the Dragon).
"It seems to be... The badge that the thief stole away..."Yan Chen hesitated for a moment, and Emilia nodded wordlessly.
"The dragon is a symbol of Lugnica, and it is valued to the point that it claims to be the pro-dragon kingdom - Lugnica. To show the importance of dragons, the walls and weapons are full of images of dragons...", Rozval said, pausing deliberately.
"However, this badge is the most important!" Rozval dropped a bombshell.
"Hey, isn't this badge some kind of artifact? So important? I really can't see it..."Caizuki looked at the badge in Emilia's hand in confusion, as if wondering why a small badge was so important.
"Because - this badge is the qualification of the Chosen Participant - it is the proof of the Chosen One, the litmus test of the bearer's suitability to sit on the throne of the Kingdom of Lugnica...", Emilia closed her eyes and said with her lips trembling slightly.
"This..."After learning about this, Caiyue's eyes were about to fall off.
"It's... Such an important thing that you... Lost it? Cai Yue exclaimed, and at the same time, the idea of being able to lose even the badge of the Chosen One can really become a king.
"Exactly," said Rozval, who seemed to see Natsuki's thoughts, "the so-called king, that is, the man who bears the kingdom, and since he has to bear such a heavy responsibility, it would be ridiculous that he could not protect even a small badge. ”
Rozval continued, "So if this gets out, it will definitely hinder Mistress Emilia, and even disqualify her as the Chosen One..."
And so far the Sword Saint has known about this, only the two of us, the Sword Saint's character naturally does not need to be doubted, since he said that he will not say it, he will never say it... But we, as outsiders, are the ones most likely to leak out – so what are you going to do, kill people? Yan Chen, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly took over the conversation and threw out a sharp question.
"No, it won't! You're my benefactor, how could I do such a thing! Before Rozval could reply, Emilia said angrily.
Yanchen didn't speak, but stared at Rozval. The atmosphere in the restaurant began to be depressed again, and both Rem and Ram had a fierce look in their eyes.
Yan Chen had no doubt that as long as Rozval gave an order, the two ghost maids would rush up, and in this tense atmosphere, even Caiyue Yue made a defensive gesture.
PS: Firut isn't an insider, because she doesn't know what she's stealing.
