The two of them crossed the last staircase.
When they reached the city wall outside the villa, Lin Shu finally held her hand.
Emilia stopped, and Lin Shu also stopped.
It was already night time, and it was quiet and peaceful outside.
There may be some light clouds in the sky tonight.
So it was not a starry day, only a few stars and the light of fire in the distance.
"Honestly, I don't want you to see me in such an embarrassing state." Emilia turned her back, her voice tinged with tears.
"Then I won't watch it." Lin Shu smiled and hugged her from behind: "But at least let me stay here."
Emilia bit her lip, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"Close your eyes first."
Lin Shu was stunned for a moment, but soon realized something: "Okay, I'll close my eyes."
He closed his eyes as Emilia had hoped.
Noticing the person in front of her move, she turned around and rested her head on his chest.
The unconcealed crying sound entered Lin Shu's ears, accompanied by regret for his own weakness and incompetence.
Lin Shu gently placed his hand on her head and stroked it gently, but this seemed to have the opposite effect. Emilia cried even harder, and it took a long time for her to calm down.
"All right."
When she said this, five minutes had actually passed.
When Lin Shu opened his eyes.
Emilia's eyes were red, like a rabbit's.
She was also looking at Lin Shu: "Aren't you going to say something to comfort me?"
Lin Shu looked up at the sky and asked, "Does kissing count?"
Emilia bit her lip and answered in her throat, "Never mind."
Then, her lips were kissed by the aggressive man in front of her.
It was a very long kiss, so long that Emilia even forgot about time.
She looked at the person in front of her and found that her heartbeat was accelerating uncontrollably.
"I think you should understand that the road you've chosen is full of thorns, and there will always be more opponents than supporters."
"Dissatisfaction and boos are the driving force that keeps you moving forward,"
Lin Shu held Emilia's hand and said seriously, "No matter how the situation develops, I will still be by your side."
The latter's eyes were filled with deep affection.
She had already fallen into his arms.
..........
The next day was the time when the royal election meeting was officially held, which also foreshadowed that the real royal election was about to begin.
This is a confirmation of qualifications and also a preview of the national selection of the king.
Lin Shu now appeared in front of the palace door, holding Emilia's hand tightly.
As long as you push open the closed door in front of you, you will reach the main venue of today.
215 Instantly kill the sword master, behead the minister, and punish the tyrant severely!
Just think about facing so many important figures who hold the lifeblood of the kingdom.
When I explained this in front of the elders of the Sages' Association, I couldn't help feeling pressured and nervous.
Emilia took a deep breath.
Then, she felt someone's hand connecting to her, giving her strong support and warmth.
"Are you ready, my princess?" Lin Shu said with a smile
Emilia also smiled: "I am ready, my knight."
The two of them pushed open the door hand in hand.
The royal palace is naturally magnificent.
The entire hall is hung with crimson brocade embellished with gold flowers.
The marble carved columns look solemn and majestic.
The crimson-gold throne in the center of the hall symbolizes the power of the Kingdom of Luknica.
Now vacant for lack of an heir, those concerned for the country are urged to choose the next king before it descends into chaos.
"No matter how you look at it, the color of this throne suits me."
A confident voice declared this without paying attention to anyone else, but surprisingly, it was so arrogant.
No one around spoke out in opposition.
Lin Shu couldn't help but cast a glance at the woman who made such a bold statement before the throne.
She was dressed in a bright red dress.
A beauty, no doubt.
And she has a pair of giant breasts that are comparable to Elsa's.
In fact, she did pull out a folding fan from the gap between her chest and opened it with a bang.
"who is she?"
Lin Shu moved to the side.
He asked Emilia who was standing beside him.
"Priscilla, you are one of the candidates for the throne, just like me."
Emilia looked at the other person and said, "But there seem to be some bad rumors about her."
"What rumors?"
Emilia is the kind of person who doesn't like to gossip about others behind their backs.
So when she said this, she hesitated a little and didn't continue speaking immediately.
But Roswaal, who came with her, had no such concerns and said bluntly, "Priscilla Barrier, but this name doesn't originally belong to her. It's the surname of her fiancé's family."
"But her fiancé, who was already old but wanted to marry a younger woman, died before he could officially bring this beautiful girl home."
"Afterwards... all his property, even his surname, fell into the hands of this woman. The nobles called her the 'Bloody Bride.'"
Roswaal narrowed his eyes meaningfully.
"So, they suspect that Baliyel was killed by this beautiful bride, right?"
Lin Shu immediately understood the hint.
"But there's no evidence."
Roswaal smiled with a gloating smile.
At this moment, several other candidates appeared from the main entrance.
Of course, Kuerxiulinshu knew it.
The other girl who walked in was wearing a white felt hat and a white dress. Her name was Anastasia.
"She's the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the free trade city of Karalaki. Her business acumen is so remarkable that it leaves most nobles, including me, in awe."
Before Lin Shu could ask, Roswaal began explaining, "Regardless of what the people think, she has a large number of supporters among the nobles."
"After all, those nobles are eagerly hoping that she can fill their pockets. Anastasia possesses just such an ability."
Lin Shu noticed that Emilia's expression was unnatural when Roswaal said this.
He reached out and squeezed her hand.
The latter gave a slightly bitter smile, indicating that he had no problem.
at this time.
Suddenly, a resounding voice came from the direction of the main hall entrance: "Please line up, everyone from the Sages' Association is about to enter."
"It looks like it's about to begin. Lady Emilia, please stand in the center. Lin Shu, your position is over there."
Roswaal stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Knights.
As a count, he naturally had to be on the side of the nobles.
"Come with me, Lin Shu."
Catgirl Felix greeted Lin Shu warmly.
Grabbing his arm, he led him to the left side of the group.
Then, the palace door opened and a group of old men walked in one after another.
"As I recall, the so-called Council of Sages is a group of people who act as the king's deputy, right?"
Lin Shu followed Felix into the ranks of knights, looking at the ceremonial procession slowly advancing before him.
"That's right, meow."
"Because Luknica is a country protected by the Dragon God, the Council of Sages is the senator who provides advice... but it would be more accurate to say they are the elders who act according to the prophetic tablets."
Before Lin Shu could reply, a handsome red-haired young man in front of him turned around and interrupted, "Felix, if the Sages' Council or the nobles heard what you said, it would cause trouble for Master Crusch."
Felix stuck out his tongue.
In fact, what he said just now probably also represents Crusch's opinion.
But he didn't intend to argue with it.
Or, as the other party said, it would cause trouble to Crusch.
So he simply lined up in the knight's ranks.
