After returning to the castle, Fang Zheng told everyone that Emilia and Felt would be participating in the Royal Selection. As expected, everyone was quite surprised. Still, as their friends, they naturally supported the two of them, but...

Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"We're going to kill goblins. Consider it a welcome party. It can become a traditional event for your party from now on, can't it?"
"I don't want that
