However, Crusch scoffed at this rumor, because the Demon King had already asked Edwards to support her when she completed Bai Zhe's arrangements.

However, Crusch will keep this secret until the royal selection, at which time he will use this trump card to deliver a major blow to all his opponents.

Two days later, the royal selection conference arrived.

Inside the palace, the royal selection ceremony officially began as the knights and nobles stood in two rows in the main hall, the Sages sat below the throne, and the four royal candidates, excluding Felt, entered amidst great anticipation.

First, the chairman of the council, representing the wise men, gave a speech, asking all the candidates to state their ideals and followers in order to move the people in charge of Lugnica present.

"In the past, the royal family suffered a calamity of unknown cause, and the bloodline was completely wiped out. Therefore, we are urging you, the chosen ones, to be here today to select a new king who can rule this country."

"With the witness of the Council of Wise Men, please state your purpose for participating in the royal selection."

Crusch was the first to reveal her purpose. Crusch, who had spent her life in military uniform and was known as the Valkyrie, stated that she wanted to build a military superpower that did not rely on the power of the Divine Dragon. All the wealth and power in the country would be based on their military achievements!

Crusch's words naturally moved many members of the Knights Order, but many nobles secretly opposed them.

Then there's Priscilla, dressed in a black and red dress, adorned with jewels, looking like a rich young lady. With fiery hair and red eyes, she has an arrogant demeanor and is known as the Blood Bride.

Just like her distinctive personality, the girl's speech was also very arrogant and confident, as if the whole world revolved around her, which displeased many nobles.

However, due to her status as a young girl and the wealth and power she possessed, she was unable to act out at the conference.

Following Priscilla was the third Chosen One, Anastasia, from the Wasteland of Hosin. She had light purple hair, a youthful face, a petite figure, wore a white dress, and had a white scarf draped over her shoulders that resembled some kind of animal fur.

The girl explained to everyone her purpose in participating in the royal selection: to accumulate more wealth and transform Lugnica into the richest place on the continent!

However, this garnered considerable support from the nobility...

After Anastasia finished her detailed explanation, it was Emilia's turn.

The girl lowered her hood, revealing a terrifying appearance: a silver-haired half-elf—the very image of the legendary Witch of Envy who nearly devoured half the continent!

"How could a half-elf participate in the noble Royal Selection Tournament!"

"Guards, what are the guards doing?!"

The next second after the noise started, a chill quietly spread throughout the hall, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

At this moment, Roswaal, still dressed as a clown, appeared in the group and offered Emilia some words of advice.

"Oh dear, Lady Emilia, please stop Lord Puck's anger."

"After all, if things continue like this, everyone here will be frozen solid, and the Royal Selection Conference will not be able to proceed normally."

Upon hearing this, Emilia naturally spoke up: "Let's stop here, Parker; these people are only acting out of fear."

As the girl finished speaking, a gray cat appeared in everyone's sight.

The moment Parker appeared, the Sage's Council Chairman's eyes widened in surprise.

"Could it be that you are the great fire spirit, or the final beast of the permafrost?!"

When questioned by the Speaker, Parker completely ignored him. Instead, he glanced around at everyone present, then raised his hand and froze the entire palace without harming anyone. In a cold voice, he said:

“If Leah hadn’t spoken up, you would have ended up like this palace.”

This move instantly silenced all the nobles who had been criticizing Emilia, who all lowered their heads, fearing that the legendary great elf would look at them.

Some even felt a desire to support Emilia out of fear!

This was exactly what Puck and Roswaal wanted. Before the Royal Selection Tournament even began, the two of them had conspired that these useless nobles would care about Emilia's appearance, so they came up with this plan.

Use force to achieve a deterrent effect.

This scene, which Bai Zhe, who was sitting on the throne unnoticed by anyone, with the Great Sinful Witch beside him and the Holy Dragon Emperor in his lap, exclaimed that he had just witnessed a good show.

Witness Emilia using Puck's reputation to intimidate everyone present.

Crusch remained composed, displaying the unwavering composure of a soldier even when faced with a mountain collapsing before her. This confidence stemmed not only from her own formidable strength and the soldiers under her command, but also from her sword-wielding teacher.

On the night the fire burned down the slums, having witnessed Edwards and Bai Zhe's swordplay duel, she did not believe that her teacher was weaker than this great elf!

Anastasia, being a businesswoman, merely blinked, making it difficult to discern her thoughts at first glance.

Of the four chosen ones, only the proud Priscilla expressed anything about what had just happened.

"No wonder you, as a half-elf, are so fearless. It turns out you have such a powerful weapon hidden away. I admit I underestimated you."

"But even if you have the legendary great elf to help you, you are nothing more than a stumbling block on my path, because the whole world revolves around me."

As Priscilla finished speaking, on the throne where no one could see her, Bai Zhe smiled and said, "This woman's personality is really suited to be an arrogant bishop. By the way, Typhon, do you have that intention?"

When Bai Zhe asked her question, the petite and arrogant witch shook her head in bewilderment.

"Typhon doesn't know~"

Even at night, Typhon was personally taught by the other witches, so of course he didn't understand the relationship between witches and archbishops of sin.

Although the Archbishops of Sin are never chosen by witches, in Bai Zhe's eyes, the Archbishops should be the representatives of all witches!

At the same time, seeing Priscilla begin to clash with Emilia, the Sage Council Chairman stroked his beard and said, "Miss Priscilla, your speaking time is over. Please be patient."

Then, he looked at Emilia and said, "Miss Emilia, as the contractor of the Beast of the End of the Permafrost, can you tell us your purpose in participating in the Royal Selection?"

Emilia nodded in agreement, and then, under the watchful eyes of everyone, she revealed her idea, which was considered outrageous in this century.

"I want to completely change the discrimination against demi-humans in this country. Whether we are human or demi-human, we are all living beings on this continent. Why must we persecute each other!"

"Only by working together can we become stronger."

Emilia's words naturally caused a great deal of discussion among the nobles, but when Parker's gaze swept over them, these nobles immediately shut their mouths.

This cowardly and bullying behavior made Bai Zhe, the witch, and the Holy Dragon Emperor on the throne unable to help but chuckle.

As the noise subsided, the Speaker of the Council of Wise Men spoke again.

"Alright, now all the chosen ones..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Reinhard, who suddenly stepped forward.

"Please wait a moment, everyone. There is still one chosen one who has not yet returned to his position."

"Now, let me introduce you to the last member of the Lugnica royal family, Lady Ferut."

Faced with Reinhardt's words, the Sages' Guild, the Knights, and the Nobles all showed surprise.

Upon hearing this, the Sage Council Chairman immediately questioned him: "Sir Reinhard, can you guarantee that what you said is absolutely true!"

“I can vouch for this with my life: this gentleman is definitely a descendant of royalty and is qualified to participate in the royal selection.”

As Reinhard finished speaking, the doors of the hall opened, and Felt, dressed in a princess dress, walked with a rather rude gait that didn't match her attire, to the side of the chosen ones.

The girl's rude manner naturally drew criticism from many people.

Seeing this, Reinhard could only smile; after all, the other party was the monarch he served.

When Felt reached the center of the hall, Reinhard immediately gave the girl a knightly salute.

"Lord Felt."

"Hmph~!"

Seeing this, the blonde girl gave a rather arrogant snort and nodded to Emilia instead.

After all, among the people present, besides Reinhard, Emilia was the only one she knew, and they had spent some time together and had a relatively friendly relationship.

Emilia then took out her Royal Selection Badge at Reinhard's request and handed it to Felt.

As the dragon blood in the badge shone brightly, it confirmed that Felt was indeed qualified to participate in the royal selection.

Seeing this, the Sage Council Chairman chuckled and asked the girl, "I wonder what kind of country Lady Felt wishes to transform after becoming King?"

When faced with the question from the Sage Council Chairman, Ferut burst out laughing.

"What will it become? Hmph..."

"I hate nobles, I hate the kingdom, I hate everything in the kingdom, so I will destroy everything, overthrow you all, and make this country free of bloodsucking insects, so that capable people can show their abilities!"

Ferut's words, if spoken in modern times, would likely be agreed upon by countless people and considered the answer.

However, in Lugnica, where the system is almost identical to that of the Middle Ages, it was still somewhat ahead of its time for the naturally high-ranking nobles!

So the moment Ferut finished speaking, many nobles showed surprise, doubt, and hostility.

However, because Reinhard, as the strongest swordsman, had made his stance clear from the beginning, none of the nobles present dared to express doubt or anger towards Felt as they had when they questioned Emilia.

Only the eldest Sage Council Chairman spoke to Reinhard.

"Lord Reinhard, the monarch you serve is a bit too radical."

Upon hearing this, Reinhard simply smiled and replied, "I believe that Lady Felt's words will one day reach everyone's hearts."

Immediately afterwards, a burst of laughter rang out in the hall.

"Ha ha ha ha----"

Then, the space before the throne, which had been occupied by the 280 people, transformed into a mirror that was about to shatter, cracking open with countless fissures and reflecting the faces of everyone present like a kaleidoscope.

And that arrogant laughter came from behind.

Upon seeing this, the commander of the knights immediately placed his hand on the longsword at his waist, his face showing vigilance.

"who?!!"

The next second, the space on the verge of collapse turned into countless fragments that flew and exploded, startling many nobles and revealing the true face of the person who had laughed.

A black-haired, golden-eyed demon king, witches with different hair colors and temperaments, and a pink-haired holy dragon emperor.

Upon seeing the Demon King seated on his throne, the knights and nobles immediately launched into questioning.

"who are you?"

"How dare you sit on the throne! That's a throne reserved only for the king!!"

However, Bai Zhe ignored their clamor. The pressure of the Holy Dragon Emperor emanating from Ai Ke in his arms was enough to make many people present unable to lift their heads.

The Demon King turned his gaze to Felt, causing the blonde girl, who had just been so proud and declared she would destroy everything, to immediately become hesitant and timid.

Bai Zhe then glanced at Felt, and while scanning the other four chosen ones, said:

"Military government, absolute monarchy, capitalism, utopia and anarchism, hahaha...you guys really gave me a good show."

"Who are you? That's a throne that only a king can sit on! Get down right now!"

The moment the Knight Commander finished speaking, a massive dragon's might emanated from Eiko, instantly making almost everyone present feel suffocated.

This aura is quite familiar to some people; it belongs to the one who almost went to war with the divine dragon Polkenica in the capital and called himself the Holy Dragon Emperor.

Therefore, upon seeing this, the Sage Council President immediately bent his old back, reprimanded the Knight Commander, and then asked the black-haired, golden-eyed man sitting on the throne for an answer.

"Don't be rude, Marcus."

"Your presence here so quietly must make you an extraordinary expert. We would like to ask you to tell us the purpose of your visit."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhe patted the pink-haired dragon girl's head in his arms, signaling her to suppress her terrifying aura, and then slowly spoke:

"Bai Zhe, a god-slaying demon king from another world, heard that a royal selection conference was being held here, so he came to join in the fun."

"What? This throne is for mortal kings, but I, an enemy of the gods, cannot sit on it?"

Upon hearing this, the meeting chairman nodded quickly.

"Of course I'll sit."

Upon seeing this, the knight commander planted his sword in the ground, making a gesture of repentance. Only after the Demon King waved his hand did he breathe a sigh of relief and retreat back into the ranks of knights.

At this moment, Reinhard, who had stepped forward and stood behind Felt, and Crusch, who had instantly adjusted her state after the dragon's might dissipated, bowed to the White Warrior on the throne.

"Grandmaster."

"Master."

The free-spirited Felt waved her little hand at Bai Zhe with a big smile.

"Hey, long time no see, Bai Zhe. How long have you been back to the capital? Why haven't you come to see me?"
