The answer is obvious.Emilia is not a confident person, she knows her situation - as a half-demon, she has always been the object of people's spurning in the world.Not to mention becoming a king, as long as she is on the street, she will be spurned by some people - and feared by most people at the same time.After all, what the jealous witch Shatila did back then still left a terrible shadow in people's hearts.How could such a person gain people's trust?

Moreover, being the king of a country requires a lot of knowledge.Although subordinates will help you with most of the minutiae, important decisions need to be handled abroad.When you're dealing with these decisions, it's natural to feel a lot of pressure just to think that your choices affect the people of the whole country.

This heavy responsibility is enough to crush an ordinary person.

It can be said that the appearance of Gilgamesh is like a blessing from heaven to Emilia.As long as he goes to the top, whether it is responsibility or opinion, it is not something that he should consider.And Emilia, who was very satisfied, naturally did not embarrass Roswaal.

After Emilia woke up, the elf crystal on her body also flashed a cyan light.The fire elf Parker also woke up.After rubbing his sleepy eyes, he waved his paw to greet Emilia.

"Good morning, Liya~々."

"Good morning, Parker. Get ready, we should start today."

During this period of time, the complete annihilation of the royal family in the kingdom is no longer a big news to the residents of the kingdom.After experiencing the panic at the beginning → price inflation → sages will take action to appease the masses, people discovered one thing - it seems that there is nothing wrong without the king for a short time.After discovering that their lives can continue to maintain such a stable life, those short-sighted people have long since returned to the pace of what they should do.

However, the soothing words in the announcement issued by the sages are completely a joke among the nobles.The respective territories of [Girl Duke] Kurusu Karsten and [Scarlet Bride] Priscilla Ballier, who are themselves king-chosen, have received at least three probes and small-scale attacks.

Although Roswaal's territory has not been attacked for the time being, there are also several armies from other countries that are already watching this piece of fat outside the border.Presumably, as long as there is a chance, they will absolutely disregard the international fallacy and attack the Kingdom.As for the diplomatic question—huh?Does your country dare to talk about diplomacy without a king?

In the eyes of the nobles, the kingdom's time is running out.If a suitable king cannot be elected quickly, the country without the protection of the power of the dragon will be defeated by several other countries like loose sand.This is also the reason why the sages will keep urging the king choosers to come to the king's capital.And today...

A dark-bellied merchant girl with purple hair—— Anastasia Hexin.

The heroic young duke——Kelush Karsten.

The scarlet bride with the appearance of a succubus—Priscilla Ballier.

A silver-haired half-magic girl with an angelic appearance——Emilia.

And the fifth person found by Reinhardt, and...

The oldest king, Gilgamesh.

People related to Wang Xuan, and all gathered in this king's capital.

Looking at the palace not far away, Gilgamesh expressed his views on the palace with a little disgust.

".Is that the royal palace? Hmph, as the palace where the king rests, it's barely enough."

Hearing Gilgamesh's words, everyone couldn't help but smile wryly.Since Qinlong Kingdom has the protection of the power of the dragon, many difficulties are overcome by the protection of the power of the dragon.Such a soft-boned kingdom that looks at people's faces is actually at a disadvantage of the four major countries both militarily and economically.Even the palace built by the king with the most funds from the whole country is indeed unsatisfactory in appearance.

"Well, my lord, please make do with it." (Did you)

After spreading his hands helplessly, Roswaal said flatteringly. "As long as your lord gets the throne, he will lead the country to prosperity. It should be no problem to build a new palace."

"No need. What this king is dissatisfied with is not the exterior of the palace, but the interior of the palace. Presumably, your previous king must have been very reluctant to make progress because of the so-called 'dragon power'."

After raising his head in contempt, Gilgamesh said mockingly. "That so-called palace has a rotten stench from the inside to the outside. A dead country, a king who doesn't think about making progress, and an extremely rotten atmosphere—"

"Let me break all of this. I don't need dragons at all. This country needs worshipers—"

"As long as I have this king, that's enough!"

Qinlong Kingdom Lugnica. Deep in the palace

In the depths of the palace, there has always been a place that is difficult for ordinary court ladies to enter.In this place, there is the most luxurious treasure and the most intoxicating power - the 'Senate', which is the truth deep in the palace.

After witnessing the palace, Gilgamesh believed that the previous king had a rotten atmosphere from the inside to the outside because of his laziness and inaction.However, this is not actually the correct answer.Even the oldest king sometimes misjudged.

In this place called 'Senate', a total of 12 people sat on a huge jade table.

These 12 people are the 12 people with the highest power in Lugnica, the Qinlong Kingdom.Military power, commercial tariff control, appointment and dismissal of ministers, these seemingly need to be handled by the king are actually handled by these 12 people.

These ministers, of course, did not come to volunteer for the royal family.In the name of 'Your Majesty is too busy, the veteran will share your worries', they have long emptied the power of the previous king.Because of his youthful mistakes, the previous king spent his whole life in depression.Whether it's not being able to leave a child, or his own death, it must be because of this reason.

Whether it is an individual or a group, if you want to become stronger, you must know how to reflect.All of you who were able to climb to this position must have a dark heart and a stomach full of bad water.After reflection, they manipulated the so-called 'Dragon Calendar Stone' to show that the king of this generation must be a woman.

After all, women are more in control than ambitious men.Regardless of mentality, ability, and even the convenience of reproduction, female kings are better controlled than male kings.

As for what will happen to the country after the king is emptied, they certainly have a good idea.The king will be infamous first, and the interests of the country will be devoured by the elders, and the national power will naturally go from bad to worse.The building that had already decayed because of its reliance on dragons would surely collapse under the erosion of people like itself sooner or later.

But so what?If you really have a big picture, everyone present will not make the current choice.What they care about is only how much benefit the country can make before it collapses—whatever happens to the country, it doesn't matter to them.

After confirming that everyone was present, one of them spoke. "Tomorrow is the day when the king's election will start. I think everyone has already figured it out."

"Yes," the other end said with a mocking smile after taking over the conversation. "First of all, that little girl from the Karsten family, let her get out first."

"Because of her family background and reputation, that girl is a popular candidate for the king's election this time. It's not easy to deal with..."

"If she becomes the king, it will be even more difficult. That little girl is like a lion, with a spirit that will not admit defeat. She is the most difficult person to control."

"Well, stop arguing."

Seeing that the companions present seemed to be smelling of gunpowder because of dawdling, one of the tall and thin men immediately comforted the two of them. "We're all on the same boat, don't argue. Of course that little girl from Karlsten needs attention, but——that brat from the Ballier family is not easy to deal with."

"Hmph, that idiot Baliere actually died at the hands of this little girl. Forget it, according to the investigation, she was just lucky. The other three people, one is a businessman from a foreign country, and the other is an unknown The Elf Warlock, and the other one is from the royal family. It is initially planned to choose the king among these three people, so it will be no problem, right?"

After seeing the other 11 people raise their hands to agree with this decision, the leading man folded his hands behind his body and said coldly. "Then it's decided. In the name of 'Dragon Kingdom'—"

After hearing the slogan, the others lazily responded with contempt. "We are the covenants of the dragon, and we will also be the holders of the power of the dragon."

The next day, in the palace

Roswaal, Emilia, and Gilgamesh, who are related to the king's election, came outside the palace in a dragon chariot.

After seeing Roswaal, the soldiers guarding the gate opened the gate. "Hello, Lord Emilia, Earl Mezzas, please go this way."

Afterwards, the gate of the palace was opened, and the three of them entered inside one file at a time.In the passage, thousands of artworks and paintings are hung on the walls, and some even Gilgamesh thinks they are treasures worth collecting.However, the more this is the case, the more it shows the corruption of the Qinlongwang family - at the border, many people freeze to death every year because of the cold and snow in winter.

After that, the door behind him was closed.In front of the palace hall, two rows of majestic knights stood motionless on both sides of the gate like stone sculptures.

The soldier standing in front of the gate took a step forward and raised his sword to salute Emilia and Roswaal.The heavily armed body took off the helmet and stared at Emilia and the other two with rational eyes.

This man is about 40 years old, his appearance is more serious than his spirit.

"I've been waiting for a long time, Lord Emilia, Lord Roswaal. Excuse me, who is this behind you?"

After looking at Gilgamesh's face worriedly, Roswaal, who found that Gilgamesh was not dissatisfied, heaved a sigh of relief, and replied instead of Emilia. "This person is the key figure in this king's election. I judged him to be very important, so I brought him in. There should be no problem, right?"

"Well, no problem."
