You Te heard this and pointed to the long sword at his waist, smiling slightly: "It was all this child's choice."
"I see." Kuerxiu nodded slightly.
She found this explanation very reasonable.
After all, it was the legendary divine sword, and You Te, as its Sword Holder, should not be able to defy its will.
Moreover, besides Roswaal, the somewhat perverted Border Earl who always wore clown makeup, no one should be willing to follow that half-elf Royal Selection Candidate who had the same appearance as the Witch of Envy.
As the current head of the Karsten Family, Kuerxiu knew many secrets of the Balk Family.
For example, direct bloodline heirs of the Balk Family could only inherit the title of Sword Holder after gaining the divine sword's recognition.
And the divine sword's recognition of a master was extremely strict, testing one's mind greatly, which led to the Balk Family only producing a few Sword Holders to this day, and due to some special contracts, they could only live in seclusion.
You Te breathed a sigh of relief. He had just refused the young girl's recruitment yesterday, and today he turned around and threw himself into the arms of another young girl. It would indeed be difficult to explain.
Fortunately, smart people liked to overthink.
But just then, he suddenly frowned.
He drew the divine sword from his waist.
The little guy hadn't made a sound for a long time; he had been too busy flirting just now and hadn't noticed.
"What's wrong, You Te Gege?" Kuerxiu looked at the seemingly ordinary divine sword in his hand.
"It's nothing, this little guy just fainted from hunger." You Te sighed in relief after carefully sensing it for a while.
The little guy must have used too much power when dealing with the Jealous Witch and had temporarily fallen into a deep sleep.
And he, this old father… cough cough… hadn't noticed that his 'son' had fainted from hunger for a long time.
You Te felt a bit guilty, thinking he had let it down.
He would quickly take the little guy to Elsa for food after the 'Restriction' refreshed tonight.
Uh… that way of speaking always felt a bit strange.
The only trouble now was that if the little guy didn't wake up, the Blessing would temporarily disappear.
You Te's sword-swinging speed would be greatly reduced, and he would only be able to rely on pure swordsmanship.
Fortunately, his swordsmanship was at the top tier of the kingdom.
"Fainted from hunger?" Kuerxiu was speechless. Although she knew some secrets of the divine sword, it was only a little.
For example, she really didn't know what 'fainted from hunger' meant.
"Do you need my help?"
"No need." You Te shook his head slightly, then said: "Then I'll trouble Kurxiu Meimei to help me find that female thief."
"Please rest assured about that." Kuerxiu was quite confident about this.
The Karsten Dukedom's intelligence system had existed for an unknown number of years. If nothing else, anywhere in the royal capital, there was no intelligence that the Karsten Family couldn't uncover.
After speaking, she paused slightly, and said in a very serious tone: "You Te Gege, although the divine sword chose Emilia, please believe that the one who will ultimately become king will definitely be me, Crusch Karsten."
"I will definitely make the kingdom great again."
Upon hearing this, You Te took a deep look at Kuerxiu. From the bottom of his heart, this young Duchess in front of him was indeed the most suitable candidate for king.
First, the Karsten Family had been loyal to the Lugnica Royal Family for generations. Given the current situation of the royal bloodline being cut off, they were the noble family closest to the royal class.
Furthermore, Kuerxiu was a born leader type of person, carrying a certain mission, and possessing extraordinary personal charm.
She possessed the pride and sense of justice of a noble, had an honest and straightforward personality, was very strict with herself, disliked luxurious and wasteful living, knew nothing of compromise or indulgence, and was truly a noble who could be called noble.
Kuerxiu, you are truly excellent.
But I choose…
As a looks-obsessed pervert, You Te still preferred white-haired and blue-haired girls.
He didn't care who became king.
And for the Lugnica Kingdom, all operations of the kingdom were handled by the Sage Council. As long as the king wasn't too foolish, there generally wouldn't be too many problems.
After a brief chat with Kuerxiu, You Te walked out of the study. He first asked a maid for his snack bag back, then walked straight to the reception room.
Inside the reception room.
Emilia, whether intentionally or not, sat quite far from Natsuki Subaru.
And Natsuki Subaru was currently chatting with Felix.
The corners of his mouth were almost splitting to his ears.
He clearly liked the cute cat-girl in front of him very much.
Especially since Felix would constantly have some physical contact with him and affectionately called him Ang-qin.
Oh my god.
Who could resist this?
Natsuki Subaru was thus immersed in the cat-girl's gentle embrace, temporarily even forgetting Emilia.
Seeing this scene, You Te's mouth twitched.
He didn't intend to tell Natsuki Subaru the cruel truth that Felix was a male.
Man on man is also pretty good.
With the lights off, it… well, it does seem a bit different.
Cough cough.
Reining in his thoughts, You Te walked towards Emilia with the potato chips.
"Liya, you've been waiting long, haven't you?" You Te smiled gently.
"You Te, you're back? How was it?" Emilia showed a happy expression.
"Don't worry, I believe we'll get accurate information about that female thief soon." You Te sat down next to Emilia and handed her the potato chips:
"This food is called potato chips, and it tastes especially good, but this should be the only bag in the Lugnica Kingdom. Once it's eaten, it's gone."
"Only one bag? Isn't that very precious?" The moment Emilia took the potato chips, she smelled a particularly pleasant aroma.
"As long as Liya likes to eat it, no matter how precious the delicacy, I will find it for you." You Te flirted with her using everyday sweet talk.
Hearing this, Emilia felt her cheeks flush slightly, and she lowered her eyes, shyly uttering two words: "Idiot."
Then, with her slender fingers, she gently picked up a potato chip and slowly put it into her mouth.
With a crisp "crunch," the delightful crispness instantly spread in her mouth.
This unique taste made Emilia pause slightly. The flavor of the potato chip danced on her tongue, the savory and crispy perfectly blended, bringing an unprecedented wonderful experience.
She had never tasted such a special delicacy.
"It's so, so delicious!" Emilia's beautiful eyes unconsciously narrowed into crescent moons, looking incredibly adorable, making You Te unable to resist looking at her more.
"If it's good, eat more. It's all yours." You Te smiled.
"No, You Te, you eat too." Emilia said, picking up another potato chip and offering it to You Te's mouth.
"Ah~"
"Ah~" You Te cooperatively opened his mouth.
Just like that, Emilia began feeding You Te and gradually got hooked.
On the other side, seeing the intimate scene between the two, Natsuki Subaru's face darkened, and he suddenly felt that the cat-girl beside him was no longer appealing.
You Te actually used his potato chips to flirt with the girl he liked.
"Ang-qin?" Felix noticed Natsuki Subaru's abnormality, his fluffy cat ears twitched, then his eyes narrowed, and he asked softly:
"Does Ang-qin like Emilia-sama?"
Natsuki Subaru didn't speak, which was an implicit acknowledgment.
If it were someone else, he might have gritted his teeth, but it was You Te.
Their relationship was still very good.
But… even if our relationship is good, you can't steal the girl I'm interested in, right?
Natsuki Subaru had already decided in his heart that Emilia was his.
As long as he built up enough favorability, he would definitely win her love.
Transmigration comics always developed this way.
Just then, Kuerxiu, still in men's attire, walked into the reception room.
