Five Royal Selection Candidates

It has to be said that even Fang Li was almost captivated by Emilia's smile at that moment.

For no other reason than that it is simply too beautiful.

In the original story, Emilia was designed to be the most beautiful person in the world.

Although she faced rejection because of her silver-haired Half-Elf identity, Emilia's purity and beauty still won over many people, which speaks volumes.

In Fang Li already had a fondness for many characters in the world of anime, including Emilia. If it weren't for the fact that he already had Sylvia, he probably would have been completely captivated by her.

If even Fang Li, whose emotions rarely Fang Li so obviously, is like this, it's not surprising that the onlookers around him are also stunned.

Until a voice rang out.

"Please gather everyone present, as the members of the Sages are about to enter."

When that deep yet resonant voice echoed throughout the audience hall, everyone finally realized what was happening.

The one who spoke was the Royal Guard Knight who had been standing guard outside.

Suddenly, the other party appeared on the steps of the platform, making an announcement to everyone present with a serious expression.

"All candidates for the Royal Selection, please come forward."

His meticulous words caused everyone present to exchange glances before gathering together.

The Royal Guard Knight, all dressed in white uniforms, gathered on the left.

High-ranking officials and dignitaries dressed in black uniforms all gathered on the right.

Meanwhile, the candidates for the Royal Selection gathered in front of the high platform.

"I..." Emilia hesitated.

Clearly, Emilia Fang Li's presence.

Perhaps Emilia is considering whether she should take this opportunity to get Fang Li to leave quickly?

In the end, Fang Li directly gave Emilia the action points.

"I will wait and see."

This is not a reassuring answer.

But what could Emilia do?

Although she hadn't known Fang Li for long, Emilia knew that if Fang Li made a decision, he would carry it out decisively.

Therefore, Emilia could only say one thing with great concern.

"Please, please don't do anything reckless."

After saying that, Emilia stepped forward to join the group.

As for Fang Li, just as he was about to make a move, a hand suddenly appeared and landed on his shoulder.

"So you really came."

Fang Li easily recognized the owner of the voice.

That's what they say, but even without that voice, Fang Li would know who it was.

In this world, there is only one person who can approach Fang Li directly from Fang Li without being noticed by Fang Li.

"Reinhard?"

The visitor was Reinhard.

"I knew you would eventually come."

Reinhard, dressed in the pure white uniform of Royal Guard Knight, still had that flawless smile as he said to Fang Li, "I didn't expect you to come with Lady Priscilla. I thought that even if you weren't with Emilia, you would have come with Lady Felt."

"Felt?" Fang Li looked ahead.

In front of the high platform, the five candidates for the Royal Selection had all gathered and lined up in a row.

Emilia stood on the far left, seemingly having composed herself, her cyan eyes filled with determination.

Priscilla stood beside Emilia, holding a fan in one hand, her attitude still independent and confident.

Then there are two people from Fang Li who have never met face-to-face.

One was a woman dressed in military uniform, with a long sword at her waist, and long, dark green hair, exuding both majesty and order.

One was a delicate girl wearing a pink and white dress, carrying a handbag, with long, light purple wavy hair, giving off a lively and cheerful impression.

Looking at the two people, Fang Li a low voice.

"Are those Crusch - Carl and Anastasia -Hassin?"

—Crusch - Carl.

This name is probably known to everyone in the Dragon-Affiliated Kingdom of Lugnica.

It wasn't because the owner of the name was a candidate for the Royal Selection.

In fact, even without the identity of Royal Selection candidate, the beautiful woman dressed as a man was already the most famous person in the kingdom.

Because she was the head of the Carsten family.

The Carl family is a ducal family, ranking first among the noble families in the entire kingdom. They have a close relationship with the royal family and have always supported each other in governing the entire Dragon Kingdom.

In other words, in this era that has lost its royal family, the Carsten family is the highest-ranking noble family in the entire kingdom.

Crusch, however, succeeded to the position of head of the Carsten family at the young age of twenty-something and was granted the title of Duke.

It is easy to imagine just how high his reputation and fame were.

—Anastasia -Hashin.

Compared to the former, this person is relatively unknown.

Because Anastasia was not born in the kingdom, but was a merchant from a free trading city called Kararagi in a neighboring country.

Kararagi is a well-known commercial city.

Anastasia, on the other hand, owns a merchant guild in Kararagi. She started as a commoner from the lowest rung of Kararagi, but with her exceptional business acumen, she eventually built up a vast empire. She can be described as an extremely talented businesswoman.

These two, along with Emilia was supported by the Border Earl family, and Priscilla, the head of the Barielle Family, made up the four Dragon Priestess who had existed all along.

As for the last candidate for the Royal Selection, it is naturally Felt.

Perhaps sensing Fang Li's gaze, or perhaps having been watching Fang Li from the beginning, Felt's eyes met Fang Li's, and she hurriedly turned her head away as if flustered.

Looking at Felt like this, Fang Li shrugged.

"So, Felt still came after all?"

This proves that Fang Li's previous words influenced Felt.

"This is all thanks to you," Reinhard said sincerely to Fang Li. "If it weren't for you, Lady Felt might not have been willing to participate in the Royal Selection, would she?"

"Anyway, the famous ' Sword Saint ' doesn't seem like the type to coax little girls. I was just saying some self-righteous things offhand." Fang Li said this, then turned his head to look in another direction and smiled slightly.

"You two think so too, right?"

As Fang Li looked, two Royal Guard Knight dressed in uniforms identical to Reinhard's were approaching.

"Yo ho, we meet again, meow."

The first person to greet Fang Li was the catgirl he had met once before at the mansion.

The remaining one was a handsome young man.

His gaze toward Fang Li was full of scrutiny.
