The capital of the Kingdom of Lugnica is located at the center of five large regional capitals centered on it, similar to a pentagon, and the royal capital is where Anne was 'summoned' in the first place, and then quickly offended, and then had no choice but to The place where he burned the three evil villains with evil intentions and at the same time punished the red-haired little sister Felute who dared to collide with her.
And now, for some reason, Anne, Emilia, and the two twin maids Ram and Rem returned to this place again.
The capital of the Kingdom of Lugnika is very large, with a population of hundreds of thousands. It is divided into five circular layers, and the circular layers are also collectively called districts. These five districts are ranked from top to bottom, like The kingdom's feudal system was equally well-organized and separated people of all colors.
In the center of the capital and at the same time the highest level, on the plain at the top of the fault-tectonic landscape, protected by a wide moat and inner and outer walls built along the moat, the towering towers were created by the miraculous craftsmanship of nature. The easy-to-defend but difficult-to-attack land located on the hilly plains belongs to the exclusive land of the royal family. It is the heavily guarded and beautiful core of the kingdom - the palace courtyard area.
The outer second floor of the palace area is enjoyed by the nobles and wealthy people in the kingdom.
The environment here on the second floor is very good. The density of the blocks is not high. Most of them are mansions and estates where nobles and wealthy people live. There are also a large number of parks, dense forests, hills and even natural or artificial lakes for leisure. It is a good place next to the palace courtyard area, and ordinary civilians are not allowed to enter easily in principle.
The third floor is the bustling commercial area.
The fourth floor is the residential area for ordinary citizens. The building density here is very high, and it is densely packed with various large and small houses built along the streets. This is where most people in the capital of the Lugnica Kingdom live and work. place.
The final fifth floor is a dilapidated slum, where all kinds of people live, including the unemployed, refugees, orphans, the persecuted, and others who have completely lost hope in life and have completely lost their hope. Ascending channels, they can only struggle numbly to survive, and when they encounter foreign enemies, they are also the poor cannon fodder who are the first to suffer disaster.
It is said that the people living in the slums account for about one-third of the population of the royal city, and they are extremely hostile to the nobles and wealthy businessmen living in the first and second districts. Once someone incites it, it will definitely be serious. Affect the security and stability of the kingdom?
However, Emilia and Border Count Roswaal L. Merzas did not want to deal with that kind of thing. At this time, the two of them were just anxiously beside the gate of the royal city in the noble area, anxious and patient. He looked around and waited anxiously.
"!!"
"Very good,"
"Annie, you are finally back. Where did you go just now?"
"Ram and Rem went to find you, but they haven't come back yet!"
In front of the gate of the palace, along Lefaus Avenue, which is straight and can lead directly to the capital city, I saw a certain troubled little girl finally appeared, and was jumping to the door holding a paper bag of snacks. When they came this way, Emilia hurriedly greeted her, and then complained somewhat resentfully to the little girl who was belatedly arriving.
“It’s hard to get here, of course I’m looking for something delicious!”
( ̄~ ̄)Chew!
"What, are you late?"
(°ー°〃)
Looking at the sun in the sky, Annie was very sure that she should have come back at a slower pace today. She must have not been late and had not missed anything.
"It's not that I'm late, it's just..."
Emilia didn't know what to say to the little girl in front of her. Anyway, in her opinion, the other party's attitude was wrong, because this time they were going to the royal city and the palace to discuss things, but in the end , this little guy actually still has the heart to go shopping in the business district and buy delicious food?
"alright."
"Emilia, since everyone is here, let's go in first."
"As for Ram and Rem, just send someone here to wait for them to come back and tell them. There shouldn't be any problems. Let's get in the car first!"
As he said that, the border officer Roswaal L. Metzas, who had been doing little else recently and who had been rarely seen until Emilia came to the capital, was standing nearby. He urged with a smile.
Seeing that Anne had arrived, he stretched out his hand to signal Emilia and Anne to board the dragon carriage quickly. They were preparing to enter the royal city, the highest palace area.
Soon, after a bad little guy boarded the dragon carriage, the luxurious dragon carriage with the flag of the Meizas family roared and rushed directly towards the royal city.
…
Half an hour later, the meeting finally began in the throne room of the palace.
As Anne, Emilia, and Roswaal L. Mezas finally arrived at the palace hall, and as the meeting was announced to begin, they finally knew that the Lugnica Kingdom had chosen to summon the love at this time. Miliya, candidates with the qualifications of 'Dragon Priestess', are actually here to discuss the formal selection of the king?
A new prophecy appeared on the Kingdom's Dragon Calendar Stone, saying that five witches who may become the new king of the Kingdom will choose the most suitable one and form an alliance with the dragon. Today, we are witnessing the fifth king candidate. The appearance of people and the official announcement of the king-selection meeting?
"ah!"
!(;゚o゚)o
"It's you!?"
o(゚Д゚)っ!
As the meeting progressed, when the guy named Reinhard van Astrea introduced the candidate for the fifth king and brought him to the palace hall, a certain bad boy The girl pointed at the other person's nose and exclaimed.
"!!"
"It's you?!"
As for the 'Dragon Witch', who was wearing a gorgeous dress and various luxurious jewelry, but had unusually obvious blonde hair and red eyes, the candidate for the king's election was also shocked by Anne.
Obviously, she was not who she was. She was none other than Ferut, a street girl from the slums who had been chased by Annie because she had collided with her, caught her, and then took off her pants and spanked her on the butt!
"is her……"
While Anne exclaimed, Emilia also covered her mouth in surprise.
There is no doubt that Emilia was also very impressed by the other party, because as soon as she entered the door, she saw the swollen buttocks covered with red palm prints and the heartbreaking voice of crying. She still remembers what happened a few days ago very clearly.
"Ahem!"
"Everyone, although it's okay to catch up with friends, please come here and take your stand now. The meeting is about to officially begin."
"Now!"
"I would like to invite all candidates for the king's election to move to this side in front of the throne and prepare to step forward to make their own speeches. First of all..."
"Lady Priscilla Baliel and her attendant Al?"
After the final fifth candidate appeared and confirmed his identity with his badge, and stopped the noise of the crowd, Marcos, the leader of the Palace Knights, continued to preside over the meeting and began to let each candidate and One of the attendants each selected stepped forward and went to the high platform in front of the throne to make a campaign speech in front of all the members of the Kingdom's Knights and nobles.
"snort!"
"The so-called king selection has no meaning at all. I am the most suitable person to become the king!"
"The nobles only need to surrender and obey my concubine's orders."
Priscilla Balière walked to the throne with her attendants, wearing a gorgeous red dress, her long bright orange hair was pinned behind her back with hairpins, and her breasts were so plump that a folding fan could be accommodated between her breasts. He had such an unruly attitude, bold and uninhibited behavior, and spoke condescendingly to the nobles present.
After she finished speaking, she stepped off the stage, and then a woman with long dark green hair wearing a military uniform walked onto the stage...
"Everyone!"
"When I become king, I will make the dragon forget the past covenant!"
"because……"
"The pro-Dragon Kingdom Lugnica is not a dragon's thing, it belongs to all of us!"
This is what Crusch Karsten, a beauty with long green hair in men's clothing, the head of Duke Karsten's family and quite prestigious in the kingdom, said.
She obviously hopes to sever the contract between the kingdom and Shenlong, completely abandon the kingdom's dependence on Shenlong, and use this to build a powerful kingdom that is self-reliant and self-reliant.
And as Crusch Karsten finished his brief speech, it was the next one's turn.
"I want it all..."
“Including this country!”
“I hope it can become my private property~♡”
Anastasia, a cute girl with soft lavender hair and a childish appearance, comes from the free trade city of Karalaki on the west side of Luganika and is also the president of the large chamber of commerce in Karalaki. She is wearing a white dress. ·He Xin said so, and used that foreign accent without any subtlety to explain her own ambition for the kingship of King Lugnika.
Then, the fifth candidate for the throne comes on stage...
"That's right."
"I didn't want to participate originally, but since she wants to participate, I must also participate. I just can't make it easy for her~!"
Felt first glared at a certain troubled little girl hatefully, and subconsciously covered his buttocks, which still felt slightly strange, and then added:
"However, I have something to explain!"
"I hate nobles, and I also hate knights. I even hate the entire kingdom, everything here, and the current situation!"
"In my opinion, a country should not be like this!"
"A country's resources and wealth should not be monopolized by a few people!"
"We are all human beings, and it is our first time in this world. Why are you taking all the good things?"
"so……"
"If I really become a king one day in the future, I will eradicate all of you privileged people!!"
Felt, a little girl with blond hair and red eyes who came from the slums, grew up in the slums, and was found and supported by Reinhard not long ago, expressed her love for all the kingdoms in front of her without any concealment. The hatred of the privileged and the system.
It is no exaggeration to say that if she becomes the king of Lugnica one day in the future, she will definitely smash all the injustices she sees now.
By the time……
Or, the nobles overturned her and sent her to the guillotine!
Or, she mobilized the poor and poor at the bottom of the kingdom to stage a coup to cooperate with her royal power. Overthrow the so-called nobles present, and hang all the vested interests who resist and oppose them on the lampposts on both sides of the Kingdom's Lefaus Avenue!
'Arrogant! '
'How arrogant! '
'He is indeed an uneducated bastard...'
'She won't be king! '
'snort! '
'Maybe one day, she will die in the stinking ditch! '
'Hey! '
'...'
After hearing Felt's words, the nobles glared at her and expressed their disgust and hostility towards her loudly and unabashedly in the crowd. Although the members of the knights did not speak out, But they all looked at her with confusion, surprise and wariness.
"quiet!"
"at last……"
"I would like to invite Lady Emilia and her recommender, Border Commissioner Roswaal L. Merzas, to come on stage and give a speech!"
First, he stopped the noise at the palace meeting and took a deep look at the girl Felt who had offended the knights of the kingdom and the nobles of the kingdom at the same time. Marcus, who felt that it was unlikely that she would have a chance to win the throne, was shaken in his heart. He shook his head, and then continued to invite the last candidate for the throne to come to the stage with an expressionless expression.
"..."
"I only have one wish!"
"That is……"
"Pursue equality!"
"If I win, I will build a country where everyone is equal and can live freely, regardless of race, blood or gender!"
In front of the throne, Emilia opened her hands and expressed her thoughts. At the same time, her pointed ears were exposed in the swing of her silver hair.
'etc! '
'I object to those two women being candidates! '
'Me too! '
'ridiculous! '
'How unbecoming! '
'Orphans and half-demon can be candidates for the throne. If this is revealed, I'm afraid our Kingdom of Lugnika will soon become the laughing stock of the surrounding countries, right? '
'besides! '
'Look, isn't the silver-haired half-demon just jealous of the witch's appearance? '
'Her identity is suspicious! '
'You said she was a witch? '
'I'm just guessing! '
'terrible……'
'yes……'
'Allowing people like them to enter this sacred throne room is in itself a blasphemy against the sacred royal power and law! '
'Kick them out! '
'right! '
'It's so dirty! '
'Kick them out! They cannot be allowed to stand for election! '
'Get out! ! '
One of Emilia and Felt is a half-demon, and the other is an orphan from the slums. One of them wants everyone to be equal, while the other is clamoring to crush all the knights and nobles present and break everyone's interests. , that kind of thing is obviously not recognized by most of their vested interests.
Therefore, before the Sage Council announced the official start of the king's election, the nobles present and several elders in the Sage Council who clearly stood in line spoke loudly and started making noises, wanting to deprive Emilia and Fei on the spot. The qualifications of both Roots.
Of course, not everyone is opposed to it. Some people also have different opinions or intend to adopt the principle of neutrality.
As a result, the nobles in the palace and the elders of the Sage Association began to hold their own opinions, and they started arguing and making noise in the palace hall.
"Really..."
(๑վ‸վ๑)
"What's there to fight for about this throne? It's not comfortable at all!"
ε=(´ο`*)))Alas
At this time, a scream rang out in the throne palace, and was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present, making everyone stand neatly on the other side of the carpet in the main hall, with strict discipline. , the members of the Knights who were not involved in the debate at all, as well as the noisy and chaotic nobles standing on the other side, as well as the elders on the elders' seats of the Sage Council on both sides of the throne, suddenly became quiet.
Immediately afterwards, all of them subconsciously and dumbfoundedly turned their eyes towards the place where the sound came from.
Then……
They saw: At this time, there was a little girl with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a red skirt, and holding a rough-made and ferocious stuffed toy bear in her arms, who looked like a cheap stuffed toy bear, sitting in front of them. On the throne of the king of the Kingdom of Guernica, which represents the supreme power and status?
And who is that person, that little girl, if not the little Annie who just came in with Emilia and Roswaal L. Merzas?
"??"
"!!"
"Annie?!"
"What!"
"When did she sit up there?"
"have no idea……"
"Be bold!"
"Why don't you come down quickly?"
"Get down now!"
"Get her down!"
"right!"
"Get her!"
I saw someone who was so bold that he dared to sit on the throne of the Kingdom of Lugnika. After speaking, he stood up and stepped on the throne with his little leather boots. It seemed that he wanted to take the throne away. Stepping softer and flatter, this behavior not only stunned the five 'Dragon Witches' who participated in the election, but also made the nobles and elders of the Sage Association present exclaimed and stood up from their respective positions. got up.
They had no idea that the child from an unknown family would actually do something unreasonable after sneaking into this solemn venue.
"!!"
"Knights!"
"go!"
"Take her down and take her out!!"
Marcus, the leader of the Knights, a middle-aged man with green hair and a crew cut, first looked at Anne in surprise for a while, and then he looked at Emilia who was also astonished and who was frowning. After Border Count Roswaal L. Merzas took a look and realized that it seemed that it was not the instructions of those two people, he finally made a sullen face. Under the glare of the nobles and elders, he waved his hand and asked the two members of the Knights to leave. He joined their queue and walked quickly to the throne, asking them to take the daring little girl out first.
As for what kind of charges the other party will be convicted of in the future, or what kind of punishment will be given to the responsible persons Emilia and Roswaal L. Merzas, that is beyond what he, the head of the Guards, can predict. .
"Well?!"
!? (•''•۶)۶
"What are you doing?"
(||゚Д゚)
"go away!!"
ヽ(#`Д´)ノ─═≡※:☆
Unfortunately, what made Captain Marcus and all the noble elders and the 'Dragon Witches' even more unexpected was that the little girl didn't seem to want to leave the throne easily, and even stretched out her hand, but she didn't know what kind of magic was used. , and suddenly the two knights who rushed up the steps of the throne with great momentum and were about to twist her away were blown away for more than ten meters, causing the two of them to fall heavily against two pillars of the palace, and then they both fell down. He came and fainted on the floor of the hall with his head tilted to one side?
"!!"
"you dare?!"
"Knights of the Kingdom, enter! Get her for me!"
Seeing that the other party dared to resist, and seeing that the other party seemed to have good magic power, Marcus became furious on the spot. Then he waved his hand and took the lead, letting all the members of the Knights, except the attendants of the candidates, Outside, they all pulled out the weapons in their hands, and then rushed towards the throne.
"!!"
(ー`´ー)
"I'm not afraid that there are too many of you!"
(∩•̀ω•́)⊃--*⋆☼
The next moment, before the knights were about to approach the throne, a dazzling sun-like light suddenly lit up.
"!!"
"Wow!!"
"Well?!"
"ah!!"
"No!!"
"Uh-huh..."
Bang~!
Bang! Bang!
Boom~!
puff! !
In the bright light that made everyone unable to open their eyes and had to subconsciously reach out to block it, there were countless screams, exclamations, various collisions and the dull sound of flesh falling to the ground. When the five 'Dragon Miko' and After their entourage, the chaotic group of nobles and the elders of the Sages regained their sight, they were so frightened on the spot that their souls almost came out.
They saw that at this time, in this sacred throne hall, there were actually all the powerful knights of the Kingdom Knights who were qualified to come here for meetings, including Marco, the captain of the Guards of the Kingdom Knights. Inside, they all fell to the ground and remained motionless, and they didn't know what the situation was.
"you…..."
"Which witch are you?!"
At this time, an elder of the Sage Association backed away in fear, pointed with a trembling finger at Anne who was still sitting on the throne, and then asked in a hysterical and extremely frightened tone.
"Witch?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"She's not a witch!"
o(´^`)o
"He is a most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most The most, most, most, most powerful super arcane mage!"
(。•̀ꌂ-)✧
Not caring at all what kind of bad thing she had done, Annie was even in the mood to playfully answer the bald man who pointed a trembling finger at her and asked.
"Okay~!"
"Little guy, I advise you to come down quickly."
"This is not a place for you to cause trouble. Otherwise, your master may not be able to explain to the kingdom. What do you think?"
"or……"
"You want to fight with me?"
At this time, the man with fiery red hair and clear blue eyes, slender and slender figure, was known as the contemporary sword master, and was also called the "knight among knights". With the blood of the sword master and countless blessings, he was the strongest sword in history. Saint, whose strength is known as the 'strongest on earth', is a famous figure known to everyone in the royal capital. Reinhard Van Astrea, who is also a member of the Royal Guards, saw those He couldn't bear it on the spot at the tragic situation of his fellow knights and captains.
So, he directly pressed the hilt of the sword on his waist while sullenly staring at Anne.
While walking up the steps of the kingdom, various kinds of protection began to be added to his body, and the magic power around his body, the thing called 'Mana', also began to vibrate crazily.
It is obvious that Reinhard Van Astrea is serious now. If the little girl sitting on the throne does not take the initiative to retreat and get down from the throne, he will definitely take action.
"Owner?"
(๑•̌.•̑๑)ˀ̣ˀ̣
"You're not talking about Emilia, right? I don't have any mysterious master. I'm not familiar with her!!"
(•‾̑⌣‾̑•)~☞✧˖°
After saying that, Anne raised her finger at the same time.
Then……
Before Reinhard Van Astrea, the strongest swordsman of the contemporary era, had time to take action, his eyes suddenly opened angrily. Then, he vomited blood and flew backwards, directly hitting the golden and golden sword. The thick and luxurious palace door decorated with giant dragon carvings first made a loud bang, then slowly slid down, and passed out gorgeously on the spot.
"!!"
"Reinhard!!"
Seeing that the knight who had just declared his allegiance to him was knocked away by that scary little girl, Felt was so frightened that he covered her mouth with both hands on the spot. He wanted to regret it immediately and declare it immediately. The urge to quit the King's Choice.
"..."
"..."
At this time, no one dared to take action against Anne, which of course included the attendants of the other three candidates.
The nobles and elders of the Sage Association stood in their respective positions in horror. Some were at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Because the strongest knights are here, and they have all been defeated by that terrible witch. If they call the guards immediately, the little girl who has not done anything to them so far will definitely kill them. That kind of horrific method was inflicted on them, right?
"Ann, Annie"
"Can you please come down?"
"Please!"
"Stop making trouble, I beg you..."
"Okay?"
Looking at the chaotic palace, Emilia and Roswaal L. Mezas, who was looking at each other with a somewhat meaningful look at this moment, had to bite the bullet and step forward to face the little girl on the throne. She made a sad sound that was almost pleading.
Because she knew that things must have gotten serious now. After trampling the face of the kingdom under her feet, Anne had offended the Sages, the Knights, and the nobles. What will happen next? What will happen!
If she had known that something like this would happen, she probably shouldn't have brought him in with her...
"..."
(。•ˇ‸ˇ•。)
"Cut~!"
(ˉ▽ ̄~)
"Isn't it just a broken throne? It's not like I've never been a queen before, so I won't be curious about it!"
o(´^`)o
"Moreover, this throne is actually a hard seat. It doesn't even have a soft cushion. It's extremely uncomfortable to sit on it!"
(¬д¬.)
Seeing Emilia's pleading expression and about to cry, after thinking about it, Anne stood up disdainfully, and then while commenting, she raised her chin arrogantly and walked straight from the throne. Walking down the steps step by step, everyone present finally let out a big sigh of relief.
"I'm going out to play now, but if you dare to bully Emilia..."
₍₍٩(ᐛ)۶₎₎♪
"They will burn you all!!"
↜(ψ`▽′)o
First, she grabbed a ball of fire and threatened everyone with a smile. Then Anne grabbed the fireball and extinguished it. Then, regardless of the knights lying on the floor in the hall, she teleported and disappeared in this place in an instant. Protected by countless barriers, blessings and ancient magic, the palace hall, which in principle would not be invaded by magic, was teleported to someone unknown.
"..."
"Are you kidding me? How can I compete with her?!"
"snort!"
"I'm going back first!"
After waiting for a long time and realizing that the little girl would not come back, Priscilla Barriere stamped her foot bitterly, then glared at the half-demon Emilia fiercely, and finally lifted up her skirt. She walked away with her attendants.
"..."
"..."
"..."
As for the other three king candidates, the three women also had solemn faces at this time. They had no intention of caring about the situation of the knights in the hall. They just cast suspicious and wary glances at Emilia.
Because they could see that with the little girl supporting Emilia, it seemed that no one could be the opponent of the half-elf witch?
Judging from the current situation, it seems that the opponent, the half-human, half-elf, the silver-haired witch, has basically won?
And this selection for the throne suddenly became a bit dull and tasteless. It was basically over before it even started?
"!!"
"Here comes someone!!!"
Finally, after it was confirmed that the little girl would not appear again, a certain bald elder of the Sage Council screamed at the top of his voice in the direction of the door.
Immediately afterwards, a large group of Lugnica Palace guards wearing silver armor rushed towards the opened palace door from the distant corridor in a hurry, and then they all saw the incredible situation inside:
All the knights' officers had fallen to the ground at this time, even that guy Reinhard Van Astrea was no exception.
