Beige walls, columns, and black and white marble bricks. The east-west axis is symmetrical, and the north and south are symmetrical. In the center of the dome made of colored glass fragments above the head, there is a lifelike golden dragon paved with gold powder and gems. There are also pillars around the hall.
Various dragon-like statues made of pure materials can be seen everywhere, and the red silk cloth is a flag painted with low gold powder.
The decoration style of the entire hall is rich, luxurious and sophisticated to the extreme.
A three-meter-wide red carpet stretches from the door to the steps at the end, dividing the entire hall into three parts.
On the left are handsome young knights dressed in white formal attire. On the right are servants dressed in black who look like church members. These are officials from the capital of Lugnica. They are dressed in fancy and inconsistent uniforms.
They are the nobles and the kings who came to participate. The king's seat at the end of the steps has been transformed into the seat of the Wise Men in the past ten years. Behind the off-white stone table are tall seats.
Looking at the hall in front of them, the hearts of the "tour group" beat a few times in dismay.
I'm so rich! You're a big dog! I really want to grab it...ahem.
"Everyone, where are your positions?" Looking at the ten people standing at a loss on the red carpet, the guard at the door of the hall came forward and pointed to the position next to the knights.
Looking at the position pointed by the guard, Makoto Hirakawa and Yuta Yanagawa in the team frowned slightly. They were still wondering why they were invited to such an important king's election meeting.
Now I seem to understand a little bit about the location assigned.
They were invited to participate in the King's Selection because all the royal capital's guards gathered at the palace, and they were afraid that they were not as friendly as they said. Placing the participating positions on the side of the knights was also for defense. Some low-level, but very useful methods.
.
"No matter how the oracle arranges it, I think we should leave as soon as possible after the king's election is over. What do you think of Saori Shenzi?" I know that this is not wrong, but no one will be happy if they are treated like this.
Yanagawa Kota from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs meant this. Although Hirakawa Makoto had different reasons, he also had the idea of leaving the royal capital as soon as possible.
"Okay." Oda Saori stood at the front of the team and nodded lightly.
The two days of inaction, the team did not treat the oracle as an important matter at all, and the attitude of having fun like traveling made her have a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart. It was only with Hirakawa Makoto's constant explanations.
Let the girl suppress her temper.
But even if dissatisfaction did not break out, she decided that she would not give up the initiative on important matters from now on.
Moreover, among the knights, Oda Saori turned her attention to Julius who was not far away. She did not believe that if a kingdom really dealt with a matter, there would be no clues in two and a half days.
Forget about the physical things, even her request for books and records about witches was rejected. The reason was that the books recording witches were confidential and needed the approval of the king or the Council of Sages before they could be opened for inspection.
Julius also noticed the gaze here. He turned his head after following a girl with the same long purple hair. He was a little embarrassed that he couldn't keep his promise, but there was nothing visible on his face.
Come.
Nodding slightly with a smile.
Boom!
The closed door opened again, and almost everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look.
In the middle of the two doors, a group of three people were walking slowly on the red carpet.
A blond girl wearing a long red dress, a strange swordsman wearing a helmet with exposed muscles and scars all over his body, and a short-haired young man in a black servant's suit.
There is nothing wrong with these three people separately, but together they give people a strong sense of disharmony. Especially the latter, after entering the door, he tensed up and looked around... just like the last century.
People who have come to modern times a hundred years later will find everything new and strange.
To put it bluntly, I have no knowledge.
Wait, this face.
"I seem to have seen this servant somewhere before?" Oda Saori frowned and thought.
At this moment, a very interesting drama is taking place.
The girl who was supported by the Earl of the Border, who entered a little before them, turned her head to look at the reserved servant with a dumbfounded expression: "Subaru?"
"Um, Emilia, I..." The servant, known as Subaru, was sweating. Faced with him breaking the promise and coming to participate in the king's election, he didn't know what to say. At this time, help him
A girl named Priscilla who sneaked into the King's Selection Hall suddenly hugged him, grabbed his arm with both hands, and smiled softly: "You are half-hearted and keep staring at my servant, what's the matter?"
His heart felt like it was about to burst out, and his energy and blood surged. Natsuki Subaru didn't have any exciting thoughts in his heart at all, but was full of bewilderment.
It's over, it's over, Shura Field, Shura Field, Emilia will be misunderstood now.
"Let me go, Emilia will misunderstand me!" However, the eager explanation was only met with a tightening of the arms.
The silver-haired girl opposite had a look of disbelief on her face, and her sad look made people feel heartbroken.
She finally persuaded Subaru at the inn to let him stay in the room and wait for her and Roswaal to come back from participating in the King's Selection. She had clearly told Rem to keep an eye on Subaru and not cause trouble, so why did she not want to see him when she saw him?
Something happened. And it was brought about by another king who was competing with him.
A servant who is close to him has occupied the spot of a competitor and entered the King's Selection Hall. The impact of this is very bad.
"I..." Natsuki Subaru didn't know what to say.
Said that he wanted to follow him to participate in the king's election, but was stopped by the guards, so he had no choice but to find Priscilla, an acquaintance?
He was able to explain it when he entered the door just now, but now that they are stuck together, he really doesn't know what to say.
Are we just friends?
Haha, who would believe it.
Until now, this guy has not seen that the key point of the matter is that he was in the wrong position, but is obsessed with a little jealousy.
As the protagonist, living like this is really...silly and cute.
"Isn't this Lady Priscilla?" came a high-pitched and melodious voice.
Then, a tall man dressed like a clown came over: "It seems a bit out of place to hold a servant!"
Originally, I just wanted to use Natsuki Subaru to embarrass this dabbler, but Roswaal easily dispelled it with one sentence. If I continue to pester, I will be the one who suffers. "Tsk." He snorted coldly and glanced.
He glanced at the latter and walked forward on the red carpet without looking away.
