The People Who Came to the Royal Capital Together

"Since we've made up our minds, let's go!"

"Wait! Wait a little longer!"

"What's wrong? Is there anything else you need?"

"I still need to prepare myself mentally..."

"I don't need to, do I? I'm not going to eat you, am I?"

"That's disgusting!"

"In any case, let's leave here so as not to disturb Emilia!"

"Wait! Wait a minute!"

And so, Subaru Natsuki was dragged away by Reinhard with a grin on his face, letting out a pitiful cry like a calf about to be sold, which echoed throughout the night sky.

After watching Subaru Natsuki and Reinhard leave, Emilia sought Fang Li's opinion.

"Well then, it's about time we..."

Before he could finish speaking, another voice rang out.

"Etc!"

Upon hearing the sound, both Fang Li and Emilia turned their heads and looked over.

In the direction of the Thieves' Den, Felt was hiding behind the door, peeking out Fang Li, looking at Emilia at the same time, with a hesitant look on her face and a fearful expression.

The former refers to Fang Li.

Clearly, Felt seemed to have something to say to Fang Li.

The latter was aimed at Emilia.

Unlike before, Felt now knows Emilia identity.

Not only is she one of the five candidates to inherit the throne, but she is also a silver-haired Half-Elf who resembles the Witch of Envy. Just thinking about how she stole something from such a person, and even the badge of a candidate for the Royal Selection, made even this fearless little girl feel a bit timid.

Emilia was already used to this.

However, getting used to something doesn't mean you won't get hurt.

So, Emilia forced a smile and said to Fang Li, "It seems she has something to say to you, so I'll leave for now."

Emilia forgave Felt for stealing her badge and forgave her for it.

"She was only asked to do it by someone else, which is why she stole the badge while being used. Although stealing is wrong, it is not unforgivable. So, let's forgive her here."

Using this as a reason, Emilia did not want to pursue Felt's crimes.

Otherwise, stealing the emblem of the Royal Selection one would be a crime for which Felt would be sentenced to death.

Under these circumstances, Reinhard seemed to have chosen to stand by and do nothing after understanding the situation.

"After all, I'm still on vacation."

That's what Reinhard said.

Of course, at that moment, Subaru Natsuki immediately made a sarcastic remark.

"Even though it's their day off, they're still patrolling the streets, not only breaking up fights but also helping others with all sorts of chores. If the police officers in District 11 are this adorable, then as a modern, ambitious young person, I wouldn't have to worry about being robbed when I go to the convenience store to buy instant noodles."

Unfortunately, Reinhard took this sarcastic remark as a compliment, and looked so embarrassed that Subaru Natsuki almost covered his face.

Only in this way could Felt remain safe and sound; otherwise, she would have been taken away long ago.

Therefore, Emilia Felt be grateful to.

However, despite her gratitude, Felt still harbored some reservations about Emilia's presence.

no way.

For the people of this world, the silver-haired Half-Elf possessed unimaginable power.

If it weren't for this, Emilia wouldn't have been constantly ostracized.

Emilia stepped aside and left.

At this moment, Felt approached, her red eyes fixed on Fang Li, and she spoke in a muffled voice.

"Thank you for what you did just now."

Felt's words were almost entirely in line with Fang Li's expectations.

"If you mean telling you about the badge and revealing the identity of the ' Gut Slicer ' to save you from being silenced, then that's unnecessary," Fang Li said casually. "I did this for my own purposes, not to deliberately save you. It would be too troublesome if everyone had to thank me."

As he said this, Fang Li Felt said something to Felt that seemed to have a deeper meaning.

"You'd better hurry up and say what you really want to say."

With a simple sentence, he told Felt directly.

She was completely seen through.

Felt lowered her head slightly, a struggle in her eyes, before finally raising her eyes and looking at Fang Li with a hint of courage.

In that instant, Felt's expression became more serious than ever before.

"Can you tell me?" Felt whispered, "Do you know about my past?"

That's what Felt wanted to say.

After Fang Li arrived at the Thieves' Den and made a declaration as if he knew Felt's background, Felt had wanted to say something countless times.

Felt was an orphan.

Moreover, they don't have parents yet.

This situation either indicates that the person wandered to this place to survive after the death of their family members, or that they were abandoned here by their parents when they were young.

In other words, Felt was not originally supposed to live in the slums, unlike many people here who have families.

Therefore, it's not surprising that they would want to find out about their origins.

Fang Li did indeed know about Felt's background.

"But that's not something I, an outsider, should tell you."

Fang Li threw out this sentence at Felt.

"If you want to know about your background, then go find that Knight Among Knights."

After leaving those words, Fang Li ignored Felt, who was standing there dumbfounded, and walked directly towards Emilia.

Only Felt remained standing there, silent.

After walking for a while, Fang Li and Emilia finally returned to the streets of the Royal Capital.

Once back on the street, Emilia said to Fang Li, "We still need to find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Fang Li asked nonchalantly. "Who is it?"

"The person who came to the Royal Capital with me, and who also took care of me in my daily life," Emilia said, as if she had difficulty speaking. "We came together, but we got separated along the way."

That makes sense when you think about it.

As one of the five heirs to the throne, how could Emilia not have any attendants with her?

"So, if possible, I'd like to go to the guard's duty room first."

Emilia sought Fang Li's opinion again.

"Can you come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Li was about to reply when he suddenly seemed to realize something, smiled slightly, and said, "No need, the other party has already come looking for us."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a voice reached Emilia's ears.

"Emilia."
