"Then the next one...Maine! You go ahead and say it!"

"I?"

Looking at the banana that Mailu stuffed in front of her, Main was stunned for a moment, then gave the answer.

"If I were to become king... Oh, I would make everyone read books! I would turn my country into a country of books! That way, my wish would come true!"

"The kingdom of books?"

"That's right, because books are the most wonderful things in the world. Now it's still not enough, but if I become king, I can summon craftsmen from all over the country to make the best papermaking machine, and then I can make all kinds of books for everyone to read, whether they are nobles or commoners, so that everyone can have books to read. And, I will also transform the palace into the largest library. When the time comes, I will fill every place in the palace with bookshelves. By the way, whoever reads more books will be promoted and rich. In this way, everyone will definitely read books! I can also stipulate that everyone should read at least one book a day, so that everyone can understand the joy of reading... and..."

Looking at Maine who was talking nonstop, Huihui pulled Mylu who was beside her.

"Hey, why do I feel like Maine has some potential to be a tyrant..."

"That's what I thought..."

Mai Lu's expression was very subtle at this moment. Although she already knew that Maine loved books, this... this was too scary. According to Maine, it was simply a dictatorship of books. Although Maine herself might not have discovered it, for others, it was no different from hell...

At this moment, not only Huihui and Mailu, but everyone else was frightened by Maine's incessant talk. It was Mailu who quickly came to her senses, clapped her hands vigorously, and interrupted Maine's speech.

"Okay, okay, Maine, you really like books, everyone knows it. So, whether your dream can be realized depends on the choice of fate!"

"Um……"

Hearing what Mai Lu said, Maine showed a serious expression. She stared at the badge in Huihui's hand, then took a deep breath and took it!

“…”

No glow.

Seeing this, Maine sighed in disappointment, while the person next to her breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a shame, it looks like you failed."

Mai Lu curled her lips, while Maine snorted.

"It means this dragon doesn't like books at all. It's not my kind of person. So what about you, Mylu? What would happen if you became the king?"

"I?"

Facing Maine's question, Mailu was also stunned.

"I don't want to be a king."

"But everyone has said it, so you have to say it too."

"Well...then I will just be an ordinary king."

"What the hell is an ordinary king!"

"This is too perfunctory!"

"Please tell me more details."

After hearing Mai Lu's answer, the others immediately started to complain, and Mai Lu was obviously a little overwhelmed. However, soon after seeing Emilia coming over, Mai Lu's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You're just in time, Emilia, come and play too."

"Hey? What are you playing?"

“A fun game!”

Then, Mai Lu took the badge and explained the whole story to Emilia. Emilia understood it, but...

"Can I play, too?"

Emilia was somewhat uneasy. After all, unlike the others, she was a guest staying here temporarily. Although Fang Zheng and the others didn't care, Emilia didn't take it lightly. And to be honest, Emilia also liked the atmosphere of the castle. The people here would not avoid her or curse her like those people in Lugnica, nor would they call her a witch or something like that.

Not only that, the children here like her very much, and the others also get along well with Emilia, which makes Emilia finally feel the warmth of friends. Because of this, Emilia even has the idea of ​​wanting to live here forever.

But compared to others, Emilia's identity was really embarrassing, so in order to continue staying here, Emilia volunteered to take on the task of taking care of those children.

For now, it's pretty good.

"Of course."

"Um……"

After hearing Milu's answer, Emilia pondered for a moment.

"Then... I hope everyone can live in harmony and treat each other equally..."

“This is too blurry!”

"It's better than your ordinary king!"

Everyone complained about Mai Lu again, and Mai Lu stuck out her tongue and then stretched out her hand.

"Well then, Emilia, take the badge."

"Ah, um..."

Emilia nodded, then took the badge - and then, the badge emitted a soft light in Emilia's hand.

“——”

Seeing this scene, the girls widened their eyes in surprise, and after a moment, they jumped up.

"Hey hey hey hey hey!!!??"

At the same time, in the room, Fang Zheng was communicating with Tiandao Palace while replenishing Ram's magic. Ram curled up in Fang Zheng's arms, squinting her eyes comfortably, while Fang Zheng's left hand was pressed on Ram's forehead, emitting a soft glow.

At this moment, Rem's voice was heard from outside the door.

"Wait, what are you doing? Wait a minute, Master Fang Zheng and my sister are in there..."

"Bang!!"

However, before Rem could finish her words, the tightly closed door was pushed open, and then the girls hurriedly ran into the room.

"Mr. Fang Zheng, this is bad!"

"Mr. Fang Zheng, something happened!!"

The girls ran into the room screaming, and then saw Fang Zheng and Ram who was held in Fang Zheng's arms. Everyone was stunned.

"Uh... what are you doing..."

"I'm replenishing Ram's magic power. What's the hurry?"

Fang Zheng glared at everyone, then let go of his hand. Ram jumped out of Fang Zheng's arms with some regret and stood behind Fang Zheng again.

"Something bad is happening! Emilia has been chosen!"

"What? What are you talking about?"

"I mean Emilia..."

"The stone glowed..."

"I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence..."

“Stop it all!!”

Listening to the girls talking in unison, Fang Zheng felt like his head was about to explode. He quickly raised his voice and yelled, only then did he subdue the girls.

"Mello, you speak."

"Ah, yes, that's what happened..."

“Hmm, hmm…”

Fang Zheng also listened to Mai Lu's explanation of the cause and effect of the matter, and then his eyes widened in surprise.

"Is this true? Such a coincidence?"

"Yeah, we also find it incredible."

The girls nodded in response to Mai Lu's words. They originally thought of this as just a game, but they didn't expect to actually find the fifth candidate for the king election. It was indeed quite surprising.

"So... Emilia?"

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng looked at Emilia, who was surrounded by the girls and still looked confused and at a loss.

“Ah, yes!”

Emilia came back to her senses when she heard Fang Zheng calling her name.

"Do you want to be king?"

“…”

Emilia shook her head desperately. She had no interest in the king of Lugnica. In fact, Emilia did not like the country of Lugnica, because rumors about witches had been circulating in this area for hundreds of years. Because of this, people were afraid of and jealous of Emilia, who looked like a witch and was also a half-elf. For Emilia, living in that country only had unpleasant memories.

But Emilia had no other choice. Although leaving Lugnica was an option, as an ordinary girl with no financial resources, Emilia could not leave the country at will. In fact, she usually stayed in the Frozen Forest and had never left home.

It was only when she came here that Emilia felt that she had finally escaped from the shadow of the witch. The people here were not as sensitive to the rumors about the witch as the people of Lugnica. Living here was like a dream to Emilia.

And now if she goes back to Lugnica, those people will definitely be hostile to her and hate her, so for Emilia, she is not willing to go back to participate in the royal election at all.

After hearing Emilia's answer, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.

"Okay, problem solved, let's go do what we need to do."

"that's all?!"

Hearing this, Firut widened her eyes in surprise. She had originally thought that if Emilia was willing to participate in the royal election, then she would simply support her, but it turned out that Emilia was unwilling to do so?

More importantly, Fang Zheng dismissed such an important matter with just one sentence?

"If Emilia doesn't want to, then don't go. What's there to say? Aren't you the same?"

"Well……"

Faced with Fang Zheng's question, Firut was speechless. But soon, she changed her mind.

"Oh, right? Then you can tell Reinhardt about this. Let's say that the candidates for the king's election are all here, but Emilia and I have no intention of becoming king. Should we just give up and let the other three fight for it on their own?"

"Well, that's fine too."

Fang Zheng also knew that Firut must still be thinking about returning to the royal city. Of course, maybe not returning to the royal city, but no matter what, it was important for Firut to let Reinhard give up this idea as soon as possible. At least he would stop bothering him, right?

"Then I will go talk to Reinhard tomorrow."
