"Boy, you, a new knight, dare to speak so brazenly in front of many nobles in the palace, do you know what you are doing!"
A prominent-looking noble pointed at Subaru Natsuki with trembling hands and scolded.
"Haha, what I am doing is of course what I should do as a knight.
Emilia is so kind and lovely, but you call him a dirty thing here. Are you guys blind? To maliciously deny a person based on his appearance alone, the tolerance of this kingdom is really narrow and suffocating!"
"Asshole, you are despising the entire Dragon Kingdom. This is simply unreasonable!"
On the high platform of the throne, a bald sage slammed the table, and instantly the entire hall cast malicious glances at Subaru Natsuki.
Subaru Natsuki was tense, but the anger in his heart made him unable to care about so much at the moment, he just wanted to vent this anger.
"Contempt, are you sitting here worthy of my contempt! You must know that it is you who asked Emilia to come to participate in Royal Selection, not Emilia who begged you to let her come.
In my opinion, the so-called Royal Selection Trial are just a group of cowardly guys who, in order to seek the protection of the dragon, selected a group of beautiful girls to serve as wedges to stabilize the country.
Why would you, such incompetent people, think that Emilia is a filthy thing? Aren't you the ones who are really filthy?"
"So please face your weakness, please face your incompetence, you trash sitting here!
My master once said that if you want to protect someone, you must show a firm attitude, and today I, Subaru Natsuki, as the knight of Emilia, announce it here!
Emilia, this king is determined, and I will personally send her to the throne, and you please witness the birth of a great queen with your own eyes!"
After saying that, Subaru Natsuki, who was excited in his heart, suddenly burst out with a powerful momentum.
This momentum instantly filled the entire hall, and in an instant some officials and nobles with no cultivation simply rolled their eyes and fainted.
At this time, everyone in the entire hall was shocked. It was not that they were shocked by Subaru Natsuki's momentum, but they couldn't believe that someone actually took action against so many nobles at this time.
The knights of the Guards on the side all showed surprise in their eyes, and their whole bodies were full of fighting spirit, resisting this aura full of Haki majesty.
The entire hall immediately fell into panic.
"What are you doing! Subaru Natsuki! Do you want to ruin this time Royal Selection!"
A great sage who was pressed on the throne was trembling all over, with Kakkō in his eyes, looking at Subaru Natsuki standing in the center of the hall with his hands open.
Subaru Natsuki was also stunned. He didn't understand what happened. He just shouted out what he was thinking. But why did the noble officials in the hall suddenly faint.
Rhine, Harut, standing at the front of the Guards Knights, his eyes wavered slightly.
"This little brother has changed. He has become a little unfamiliar. The aura emanating from him is so heart-stopping.
If he hadn't been so favored by this world, he would have felt as trembling as the other knights at that moment!"
"Ang! Take back your momentum! As a knight, you are qualified, but this time Royal Selection is related to the future of this country, and I will not let you ruin this trial!"
"Harut, what did I do!"
Subaru Natsuki's eyes were confused. As he calmed down, the aura that made everyone uncomfortable gradually disappeared.
"Ang, don't you know! If Royal Selection is made trouble by you, it will be even harder for Emilia to integrate into the center of this kingdom!"
"So Ang, as a knight, you must think about the person behind you. After all, she does look similar to Witch of Envy, and this misunderstanding cannot be resolved with just a few words from you!"
Subaru Natsuki's eyes narrowed.
"Harut, do you think so of Emilia too! Originally, I thought you would be different, but it seems that your justice is just hijacked justice!"
Harut's eyes darkened slightly.
"Maybe you are right, but I have no prejudice against His Highness Emilia, but the public's prejudice is a fact.
And in order to protect everyone, I will naturally not ignore the opinions of the public! Ang, apologize to all the great sages! They are the pillars of this country, not rubbish!"
Subaru Natsuki, suddenly clenched his fists, "What! To actually ask him to apologize to a group of guys who are full of malice towards Emilia, this... is absolutely impossible!"
Thinking of this, Subaru Natsuki suddenly raised his head.
"I'm not wrong. Why should I apologize? It was them who interrupted Emilia's speech. If they want to apologize, it is also them who apologize!"
Harut took a deep breath and prepared to persuade Subaru Natsuki, a young man who knew nothing. After all, didn't you see that he, the number one sword master, was respectful to the great sages!
However, just when he was about to speak, he heard a suppressed voice.
"Enough!"
I saw Emilia, who had been bowing his head in silence, slowly raised his head.
"I know that my identity will be criticized by everyone, and I am prepared to be questioned. Therefore, all great sages, please forgive my rudeness as a knight. I would like to solemnly apologize to everyone in advance. It was never my intention to destroy Royal Selection.
But what I want to say is that I, Emilia, follow Great Spirit Puck who possesses the magic power of fire, a silver-haired half-elf, and I don't want all my possibilities to be completely rejected just because of many prejudices!"
"What, Great Spirit!"
At this time, some noble officials in the audience who were still awake looked at Emilia in shock.
You must know that Great Spirit is already close to the ceiling of combat power in this world, and this half-demon actually has a Great Spirit following him. How can they not be shocked by this?
At this moment, even the great sages on the stage were slightly silent.
Subaru Natsuki, when he saw Emilia's speech, he also paused, with a trace of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"Emilia... This! Why!"
He didn't understand why Emilia did this. The people here looked at her with such disgust. Would Emilia really be willing to apologize to such a group of Human Path!
"Okay! We can ignore your identity as a half-elf. You must know that the reason why you can stand here is already a great honor given to you by the kingdom.
But the impact of your knight cannot be forgotten like this, so be it! Kick this arrogant guy out of the knights.
The kingdom will never hire such a guy. A person without humility and wisdom can actually become a knight. This is simply an insult to the title of knight."
After speaking, the great sage sitting at the top of the high platform inspected the somewhat chaotic hall.
"Next, continue Royal Selection!"
"Yes! Great Sage!"
The armored man standing on the high platform bowed slightly and glanced at the stunned Subaru Natsuki inexplicably.
"Then let's introduce the last Royal Selection! He is the last Royal Selection person from the slums, brought back by the chief knight of the Reinhard kingdom, His Highness Felt!"
After experiencing a lot of farce, the Royal Selection ceremony has come to its final conclusion.
After leaving the palace, Emilia and Subaru Natsuki didn't speak much. When they returned to their residence, Subaru Natsuki finally couldn't help but look at Emilia.
"Emilia Why is this! Why do you bow to those guys? It's obviously not you who is wrong!"
Emilia glanced at Subaru Natsuki sadly.
"Ang, what do you think I am!"
Subaru Natsuki, his eyes froze.
"Isn't Emilia just Emilia!"
"Ang, do you know how important Royal Selection is to me! That is the only way for me to prove myself, so Ang, you are really doing that just for me, okay!"
Subaru Natsuki stared blankly at Emilia, who had his head lowered. He didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"But, I am the knight of Emilia, and I will never allow them to say that to you!"
"Ang! Thank you! Thank you for choosing me so firmly! But! Ang, you are not the only one in this world!
So Ang, put away the arrogance in your heart, okay! If Ang really understands me, he should understand that what I need is a shoulder that I can rest on, not a knight who just rushes in front of me recklessly!
Ang can offend everyone, because you don't need Royal Selection, but I am different. I need Royal Selection to prove myself and prove that I am not an annoying Witch. Ang, do you really want to help me ascend to the throne! Instead of just looking cool for yourself!"
Subaru Natsuki's face turned pale, his breathing became slightly heavier, and his heart felt as if it was about to stop.
"In the eyes of Emilia, am I just a cool guy?"
Time seemed to freeze at this moment. Subaru Natsuki didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt his eyes suddenly felt itchy.
"No! Emilia, it's not like this! It's definitely not like this, obviously I..."
However, Subaru Natsuki's words suddenly got stuck in his throat. Looking at Emilia, whose face was getting darker and darker, he was speechless for a moment.
"Indeed, when he was in the main hall just now, he was only focused on venting the anger in his heart, and did not notice Emilia's slightly trembling body at all.
It was because he wanted to escape, wanted to leave, and did not dare to look directly at the inferiority complex of everyone present. What on earth was he doing just now!
At this moment Subaru Natsuki faintly felt an extreme shame filling his heart, as if it was about to drown him like a tide.
