Emilia was taken aback by Subaru's thoughtless answer, and her eyes turned to scold a child.

"I can't stand you, and you still say that kind of thing out loud, be careful not to be beaten to death by a terrible person."

"It's been a long time since I've heard such words as being beaten to the ground."

"Don't change the subject. I said, Subaru, are you really okay? Is everyone around you like this? Or is it just you who are ignorant?"

Feeling sorry for Emilia who was genuinely worried about him, Subaru reflected on his attitude.

"Ah—it's because my memory is relatively poor. If it's not troublesome, I will be honored if you are willing to explain."

"Hearing you use such words and phrases, I feel like a child of a well-behaved family..."

"If I say that in a formal social occasion, my career in the social world will be blocked. I always feel that Emilia-chan's knowledge in this area is unexpectedly poor? My respectful and humble words just now are not grammatical. , Messy, huh?"

"Woo... I can't deny it, because Ling hasn't taught me... It's only recently..."

Emilia, who was pointed out by Natsuki Subaru, shrank her neck.Although I was surprised that Emilia had such a side, it was Roswaal who was sitting in the main seat and kept silent for her to speak for her.

"It's not that I don't understand this way of saying, but Lady Emilia is still——learning."

"Study, can that involve the topic just now?"

"Sure enough, you are using your brain. It is precisely because you are using your brain that you can speak without thinking."

Facing Roswaal who seemed to admire him, Subaru shook his shoulders and patted his chest.

"It's only natural to use your brain to think while you're alive. At critical moments between life and death, it's human's duty to think thoroughly about how to prevent the contents of the abdomen from rushing out."

"The description of rushing out, it's almost like having a personal experience... Well, back to the original topic, Subaru, do you know the current situation of this country—the Kingdom of Lugnica?"

"Totally, utterly, not at all."

"To be asserted so briskly by you makes me wonder at the way you exist."

Isn't this a compliment, Subaru thought after seeing Emilia's loving eyes.Although it is not a tactic of provoking protection, the inner sense of distance has indeed become like that of a mother and a young child.

"I mean, mentioning the state of the country... is something bad going on?"

"It's not in a very stable state, after all, the current Lugnica has 'no king'."

Savoring Roswaal's words, Subaru gasped for breath after understanding the meaning.

After casting a wary look at the man with clown makeup, Subaru immediately took a posture in his seat.

"No—you need to be so vigilant, there is no need to worry, because this is—a serious fact that everyone in the city knows."

"Is that so. No, is it the kind of plot where you are told a dangerous secret and can't go back alive?"

"I only know that Ang is so pitiful... All in all, the country is very unstable because of this."

I see.Subaru could understand that the status of the vacant throne was fatal to the management of the kingdom.Whether due to illness or other reasons, the sudden death of the king will shake the whole country.

"However, in this situation, generally speaking, isn't it solved by the king's heir inheriting it?"

"Generally speaking—it is true, but—the cause of the incident can be traced back to half a year ago. At the same time as the king died, there was a plague spreading in the city."

It was announced that only people of a certain bloodline would have an infectious disease, Roswaal explained.

It is said that all the kings and their descendants who lived in the royal city were extinct because of this.

"Since you are sick, you can't blame yourself, but what will happen to the country? Since the king's blood is gone, then the prime minister will be elected based on public opinion?"

"In the second half, I don't understand what you are talking about at all. However, the current operation of the kingdom is carried out by the sages. Each of them comes from a wealthy family that has left a prominent reputation in the history of the kingdom, so There is no problem with the operation of the kingdom. But—"

Roswaal paused here, restraining his expression.

"—a kingdom without a king should not exist."

"It is."

Even if it is just for decoration, an organization without a mind cannot exist, and the same is true for a country.

"So, I understand more and more. In other words, because there is no king, this kingdom fell into a chaotic storm of king selection, and because of this, the relationship with other countries was reduced and the country was locked. At this time, a mysterious foreigner appeared—— No matter how I look at it, I am super suspicious!"

"Additionally, I contacted Lord Emilia because I wanted to establish a relationship with the Mezzas family. Although it is all evidence of the environment, as long as there is that meaning, this alone is enough..."

Roswaal closed his eyes, put his hands in the pose of a knife, and pressed his neck to show a decapitated appearance.Seeing Roswaal's prank, Subaru couldn't stop sweating because of the sudden unpleasant feeling.

That's right, there was one thing that Subaru had always cared about since the very beginning.

"Why... the owner of the mansion wants to add the word "person" after Amelia-chan's name?"

The person with the highest status in the mansion showed the greatest respect.

Subaru felt uneasiness growing in his chest, which was about to bloom into black flowers.Roswaal smiled at him.

"Of course—you? You should use honorifics for people who are higher than you—well."

With his mouth open and his whole body stiff, Subaru looked at Emilia with mechanical movements that seemed to make the sound of gears rubbing against each other. As a result, the serious girl exhaled, as if resigned to fate.

"I didn't want to lie to you."

"—Uh, so, Emilia-chan is..."

Subaru Natsuki, who continued to use his nickname without getting a lesson, was given the last knife.

"My current title is one of the No.40 second-generation [candidate kings] of the Kingdom of Lugnica, and the Roswaal border boss over there is my backing."

The fact that he was told made Subaru Nayue deeply realize that his disrespectful behavior had broken through the sky.

"I have only one wish, to hire me to work in this mansion."

After learning Emilia's identity and getting a chance to realize his wish because he helped Emilia, Subaru Natsuki's request was concise and powerful, contrary to the long opening remarks before.

Natsuki Subaru's request made the scene a little awkward.

"No, it's not what I want to say, you are too..."

The innate beauty and mystery halves the effect of Emilia even if she rolls her eyes.

"The surprised expression is also cute, but you are so opposed to my proposal?"

"It's not like that, but you are too desireless..."

Emilia's mouth twitched slightly.
