Lin Ling naturally didn't care at all about Felt's rhetoric. On the one hand, Felt's wishes did not conflict with his goals, and on the other hand, Lin Ling didn't think highly of Felt at all.
It is true that in terms of identity, Felt can be said to be second only to him among the dragon witches. If it were a country with a strong royal family, it would be a leap to the sky.
However, who made the royal family of the Kingdom of Lugnika become a mascot-level existence at the time of the late king? Even Lin Ling, the most orthodox prince with a prophecy, wanted to get other
The support of the nobles also had to be obtained through various means, either by proving their abilities, by exploiting their weaknesses to threaten them, or by inducing them with benefits, so that they could secretly gather part of their power. And because the fledglings were worried about arousing the jealousy of the sages, Lin Ling now
We can't even interfere too much with political [harmony] on the surface. We can only slowly lay out the plan and wait for the day to take effect.
And what does Felt have? If in the original work, she still had the support of Reinhardt and was undefeated in terms of combat effectiveness, now she does not have the Sword Master as the first knight, except for the royal blood.
Other than that, there's really nothing left.
Although the royal bloodline and the identity of the Dragon Priestess are good bargaining chips and their value as chess pieces is not low when used properly, Felt's IQ... It's not that Lin Ling is discriminating against her, but there are old cunts everywhere.
In the royal capital, once Ephilot's little cleverness breaks away from his protective circle and goes it alone, he will basically be killed by the old bastards who squeeze out the remaining value and then throw it away.
If you want to wave your hand, fight from all directions, become a dragon witch and overthrow the nobles... just go to sleep, you will have everything in your dreams.
Of course, if Lin Ling is willing to support Felt, she still has hope of becoming the Dragon Priestess. Unfortunately, Lin Ling was optimistic that the Dragon Priestess would be Crusch from the beginning, and he would not give up until he was full.
Crusch, who was capable, visionary, cunning and ruthless, did not support him and ran to support Felt.
It can be said that after losing the support of the Sword Master, Felt has already lost in this competition with the Dragon Miko. Even Emilia has a greater advantage than her - the latter still has it after all.
The support of the border Earl [although with ill intentions], and his own strength is strong enough, and he has the blessing of the will of the world.
Therefore, Lin Ling's attitude towards Felt from the beginning was to take her with her if she could, and if she couldn't, let her be a mascot + bait for the time being. Although she could not become the Dragon Miko, at least there was no problem with her safety, and
Don’t worry about eating and drinking.
Not long after Felt let go of his lofty words, the diners also arrived. Since it was not a particularly formal banquet, everyone ate informally. During this period, Crusch also informed everyone about the investigation of the Witch Cult in the capital today.
Situation——The Knight Guards found no trace of the Witch Cult in the capital.
This naturally made Natsuki Subaru, who originally believed deeply in his prophetic dream, doubt his life, but he didn't know how to activate his "golden finger" again to see if the prophetic dream was really inaccurate.
But no matter what, it was a good thing that no trace of the Witch Cult was found in the royal capital. Since they had nothing else to do, the group of people rested at the Karustan Mansion after eating and seeing that it was getting late.
The next day, morning——
"It seems that Emilia-sama had a lot of fun yesterday~" The upbeat tone was as rippling as ever. After Roswaal, who came to take Emilia back, said this, he gestured slightly to Lin Ling next to him.
He bowed and said: "Lady Emilia took care of His Highness Zoran yesterday. Thank you very much."
"This is just what I should do." Lin Ling smiled when he heard this and said to Emilia: "Goodbye then, Emilia, be careful along the way."
As the Dragon Miko recommended by the Earl of the Border, Emilia will naturally not stay in the Royal Capital for a long time. After all, unlike Crusch, her base camp is in the Royal Capital.
"Well, goodbye, Zoran! You have to take care of yourself too..." Emilia smiled a little reluctantly. Although they only got along for one day, Emilia has undoubtedly regarded Lin Ling as a friend.
"I will..." Lin Ling nodded.
After receiving the assurance, Emilia turned around and got on the dragon carriage. Roswaal bowed slightly to Lin Ling again and said: "Your Highness, I will take my leave now. I look forward to seeing you again next time."
After saying this, Roswaal glanced at Natsuki Subaru next to him, but said nothing, just turned around and got on the dragon carriage.
Then, the dragon chariot carrying the two people drove away.
"Zoran, are all your nobles so unique?" Natsuki Subaru, who had always had a weird expression since seeing Roswaal, finally couldn't help but ask.
"Well, I can only say that some nobles do have some special hobbies." Lin Ling replied. He then looked back at Natsuki Subaru, who had no feeling at all about Emilia's departure, and sighed again, "This pair
"I'm afraid the cp is really cold." He didn't remind me anything in particular.
After all, he doesn't have the hobby of being a matchmaker. Since Natsuki Subaru and Emilia don't have feelings for each other, then why bother to force CP.
"By the way..." Natsuki Subaru, who was watching the dragon carriage leave, suddenly thought of something and asked expectantly: "Didn't you say you wanted to introduce me to a job? What kind of job is it?"
Lin Ling's expression became more serious when he heard this. He suppressed his smile and asked, "Brother Subaru, do you think you can endure hardship?"
"Yeah... you can!" Natsuki Subaru nodded hesitantly.
"There are two kinds of jobs I can provide you..." Lin Ling said, holding out a finger and said A: "The first is a male servant. I can arrange for you to work in the palace or Astraea Mansion.
, or recommend you to work at the Karustan Mansion, starting from the most ordinary servant. Although it may be harder at the beginning, the income will not be low, and you will not have to worry about food and drink. After one or two years of work, you can be promoted to a higher-level servant.
Maybe. Of course, you can also learn other skills while working as a servant. If you have a better job in the future, you can leave at any time..."
"The second type... starting from today, I will arrange for someone to teach you, teach you relevant knowledge, and train you how to fight." At this point, Linton paused and said: "After you complete the training, I can use your
I will recommend you to join the Knights of the Guards, or find you a position, but as a price, you need to be absolutely loyal to me for three years after completing the training."
"So, what's your choice?"
Natsuki Subaru was silent. Obviously, the options Lin Ling provided him were a bit beyond his expectation. After a full minute of silence, he exhaled, "Live a stable life or spend three years of your life in exchange for becoming a human master."
Is it possible...You kid, you are more cunning than I thought!"
He suddenly stretched himself and said with a matter-of-fact expression: "Isn't that necessary? Of course it's the second one!"
