"So for the next one … Mei Yin! You tell her! "
"Me?"
Mei Yin stared blankly at the banana that Mai Lu stuffed in front of her. Then, she gave her answer.
"If I were to become the King … By the way, I want everyone to read books! I want to turn the country into a country of books! This way, I can fulfill my wish! "
"Country of books?"
"That's right. Books are the most wonderful thing in the world and there aren't enough of them now. But if I become the King, I can gather all the craftsmen in the country to create the best paper machine. Then, I can create all kinds of books for everyone to read, be it nobles or commoners. Also, also, also, I want to transform the palace into the largest library. When that time comes, I want to fill every corner of the palace with books. That's right, in the future, whoever reads the most books will be promoted and become rich. This way, everyone will definitely go and read books! I can also set a rule that everyone reads at least one book a day. This way, everyone will understand the joy of reading books … Also … "
Looking at Mei Yin who was talking non-stop, Hui Hui pulled Mai Lu who was beside her.
"Hey, why do I feel like Mei Yin has the potential to be a tyrant …"
"That's what I thought too …"
Mai Lu revealed a subtle expression. Even though she knew that Mei Yin loved books as much as her life, this … was too terrifying. According to Mei Yin, it was simply a dictatorship of books. Even though Mei Yin didn't realize it herself, it was no different from hell to the others …
Not only Hui Hui and Mai Lu, but the others were also stunned by Mei Yin's incessant speech. Mai Lu quickly returned to her senses and clapped her hands to interrupt Mei Yin.
"Alright, alright, Mei Yin. Everyone knows that you really love books. So then, it's up to fate to see if your dream can be realized! "
"Yes …"
Hearing Mai Lu's words, Mei Yin revealed a serious expression. She stared at the badge in Hui Hui's hand, took in a deep breath, and grabbed it!
"…"
It didn't glow.
Looking at this scene, Mei Yin let out a disappointed sigh. On the other hand, the people beside her let out sighs of relief.
"What a pity. It seems like you've failed."
Mai Lu curled her lips, while Mei Yin snorted.
"This means that this Dragon God doesn't like books at all and is not on the same side as me. Then what about you, Mai Lu? What will happen if you become the king? "
"Me?"
Mai Lu was taken aback by Mei Yin's question.
"I don't want to be a king."
"But since everyone has said it, you have to say it too."
"Hmm … I'll just be an ordinary king then."
"What the hell is an ordinary king?!"
"This is too perfunctory!"
"Tell me in more detail."
Upon hearing Mai Lu's answer, the others immediately ridiculed her, and Mai Lu couldn't handle it. But soon, when she saw Amelia walking toward her, her eyes lit up.
"You came just in time, Amelia. Come and play too."
"Eh? What do you want to play? "
"A fun game!"
Then, Mai Lu took the badge and explained the cause and effect of the matter to Amelia. After that, Amelia understood. But …
"Can I play too?"
Amelia still felt a little uneasy. After all, she was different from the others. She was considered a guest who was temporarily staying here. Although Fangzheng and the others didn't mind, Amelia couldn't ignore it. And to be honest, Amelia also liked the atmosphere of the castle. The people here weren't like the people in Lucenica who avoided and cursed at her the moment they saw her. They also didn't call her a witch or anything.
Not only that, but the children here also liked her very much. The others also got along well with her, which made her finally feel the warmth of friends. Due to this reason, Amelia even had the thought of staying here forever.
But compared to the others, Amelia's identity was really awkward, so in order to stay here, she also volunteered to take care of the children.
For now, it's not bad.
"Of course."
"Hmm …"
After hearing Mai Lu's answer, Amelia pondered for a moment.
"Then … I hope that everyone can get along and treat each other as equals …"
"That's too vague!"
"It's better than being an ordinary king of yours!"
Everyone once again ridiculed Mai Lu. Mai Lu stuck out her tongue and extended her hand.
"Alright then, Amelia. Take the badge."
"Ah, hmm …"
Amelia nodded and took the badge. Shortly after, the badge emitted a soft light in her hand.
"— — —"
Looking at this scene, the young ladies widened their eyes in surprise. After a moment, they jumped up.
"Ahhhhh!!!??"
At the same time, in the room, Fangzheng was communicating with the Tendo Temple while replenishing Lamu's mana. Lamu curled up in Fangzheng's arms and narrowed her eyes comfortably. Fangzheng's left hand pressed on Lamu's forehead, emitting a soft light.
At this moment, Rem's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Wait, what are you doing? Wait a minute, Sir Fangzheng and Big Sister are inside … "
Bam!
However, before Rem finished her sentence, the tightly shut door was pushed open and the young ladies rushed into the room.
"Mr. Fangzheng, bad news!"
"Mr. Fangzheng, bad news!"
The young ladies screamed and ran into the room. Then, they were stunned when they saw Fangzheng and Lamu in Fangzheng's arms.
"Ugh … What are you guys …"
"I'm replenishing Lamu's mana. What's the hurry?"
Fangzheng glared at everyone and let go of his hand. Lamu jumped down from Fangzheng's arms regretfully and stood behind Fangzheng.
"Something bad happened! Amelia was chosen! "
"What? What are you talking about? "
"That means Amelia …"
"That stone is glowing …"
"I didn't expect such a coincidence …"
"Everyone, stop!"
Fangzheng felt his head swell when he heard the girls in front of him talking at once. He hurriedly raised his voice and roared. Only then did he restrain the girls.
"Mai Lu, you tell them."
"Ah, yes, it's like this …"
"Yes, yes, yes …"
Fangzheng also listened to Mai Lu's explanation and widened his eyes in astonishment.
"Really? What a coincidence?"
"Right? We also think it's unbelievable."
In response to Mai Lu's words, the girls all nodded in agreement. They had originally treated this as a game, but never did they expect that they would actually find a fifth candidate. This was indeed quite surprising.
"So … Amelia?"
With this in mind, Fangzheng looked at Amelia, who was escorted in by the girls and still had a confused look on her face.
"Ah, I'm here!"
Hearing Fangzheng calling her name, Amelia returned to her senses.
"Do you want to be the king?"
"…"
Amelia shook her head desperately. She wasn't interested in being the king of Lucania at all. In fact, Amelia didn't like the country of Rugnica, because rumors about witches had been circulating in this area for hundreds of years. Because of this, people were very afraid of Amelia, who looked like a witch and was also a half-elf. For Amelia, there were only unpleasant memories living in that country.
In the past, Amelia didn't have any other choice. Although leaving Lucania was indeed a choice, as an ordinary girl with no financial resources, Amelia couldn't just leave the country casually. In fact, her range of activities was usually limited to the Frozen Forest area and she didn't even go far away.
It was only after coming here that Amelia felt like she had finally escaped from the witch's shadow. The people here weren't as sensitive to the rumors about the witch as the people of Lucania. Living here was simply like a dream for Amelia.
And now, if she were to return to Lucania, those people would definitely be hostile to her. That was why for Amelia, she wasn't willing to go back and participate in the king's selection at all.
And after hearing Amelia's answer, Fangzheng shrugged.
"Alright, problem solved. Go do what you need to do."
"That's it?!"
Hearing this, Ferut widened her eyes in surprise. She thought that if Amelia was willing to participate in the king's selection, she would simply support her. But in the end, Amelia wasn't willing to?
More importantly, Fangzheng dismissed such an important matter with just a few words?
"If Amelia isn't willing, then don't participate. What's there to say? Aren't you the same?"
"Ugh …"
Facing Fangzheng's rhetorical question, Ferut was speechless. But soon, she changed her mind.
"By the way, I can also tell Rhineharut about this matter. Just say that the candidates for the king's selection are all here, but Amelia and I aren't interested in being the king, so we'll give up and let the other three fight for it themselves."
"Yes, that works too."
Fangzheng also knew that Ferut was definitely still thinking about returning to the royal city. Of course, perhaps not, but no matter what, it was important for Ferut to let Rhineharut give up early. At least Rhineharut wouldn't pester him anymore, right?
"Alright then, I'll talk to Rhineharut tomorrow."
