Reinhardt, the person involved, acted as if nothing had happened, calmly sheathing his Dragon Sword at his waist.
"Thank you."
Felt said to Reinhardt, then wiped away her tears, and stumbled weakly towards Rom's body, which had been cut in half.
Then she burst into tears.
Felt regretted it.
She regretted accepting the mission to steal the insignia.
In fact, she was the one who caused the death of Rom, who treated her like his own granddaughter.
Reinhardt did not follow her, but gave Felt space, allowing her to vent her emotions through crying.
As for why he had drawn his Dragon Sword just now, it was because the Royal Selection insignia belonging to the Royal Guard Knights on him had emitted a fluctuation the moment he encountered Felt.
This meant that Felt was the fifth Royal Selection Candidate of the Kingdom of Lugnica.
Reinhardt had already made a decision when he swung his sword just now: he would follow Felt.
He would make Felt the king.
He would make the kingdom more inclined to focus on the lives of the common people and speak up for those neglected groups.
Reinhardt had witnessed too much suffering among the common people during his travels through the kingdom.
As a Sword Saint, he believed he had an obligation to resolve this chaos.
"You Te, your arm."
Emilia came to her senses at this moment, looking at You Te's bloody arm wound with distress, and just as she was about to use healing magic again, she realized that there were only faint magical elements left around her, not enough for her to cast magic.
"It's nothing, don't worry." You Te smiled, then looked at Reinhardt and nodded: "Thank you, Reinhardt."
Reinhardt also nodded at him, revealing his signature gentle smile.
Their private relationship was actually quite good; they had sparred with swords several times without using Blessings.
Until today....
Reinhardt, this terrifying monster, didn't need any so-called swordsmanship at all; relying on his Blessings, a casual swing of his hand was a world-destroying ultimate move.
However, it was fortunate that this guy was a righteous and law-abiding good knight.
Otherwise, there would be no solution.
The only one who could truly go toe-to-toe with Reinhardt might be the Witch of Envy who once almost destroyed the world.
While Emilia was using limited items to treat You Te's wound, Natsuki Subaru slowly slumped to the ground, covering his temples with lingering fear.
On his first day after transmigrating to another world, he almost died.
That incredibly powerful assassin, the terrifying female assassin who almost killed them all, did not survive more than three seconds in front of this knight.
Natsuki Subaru originally thought he was the protagonist destined to save the world, but now... after witnessing these scenes...
Due to the great commotion here, patrol soldiers and Knights from the Royal Guard Knights quickly arrived to handle the scene.
Subsequently, Crusch Karsten also arrived with a group of people.
This destination was provided by her to You Te, and she was still very worried about him being in danger.
At this time, You Te's arm wound had already been bandaged, and he quietly looked at the ruins, not knowing what he was thinking.
Standing beside him were Emilia and Kuerxiu.
These two Royal Selection Candidates stood on his left and right.
"It's fortunate that You Te is fine." Kuerxiu slowly exhaled, sighing: "However, the death of Elsa, The Bowel Hunter, is a good thing for the kingdom."
Emilia, on the other hand, was a bit distracted and sad; her gaze occasionally fell on the girl sobbing while holding Rom's body, and she sighed inwardly.
Although all of this was caused by Felt stealing her insignia... but...
The two Royal Selection Candidates had completely different focuses of attention.
And behind the three, Felix was patting Natsuki Subaru's back, asking with some concern: "Ang-qin, are you alright, meow?"
Natsuki Subaru was squatting in the corner, retching painfully, as after relaxing, he accidentally recalled the scene of Rom being cut in half at the waist, with his internal organs spilling onto the ground.
"Ah, really." Felix was a bit helpless; although he was the kingdom's chief healer, he couldn't cure a heart ailment.
All he could do was gently pat Natsuki Subaru's back to make him feel a little more comfortable and offer some comfort.
"Emilia, let's rest at the Karsten Family tonight. The death of The Bowel Hunter might trigger retaliation from the Assassin Organization." Kuerxiu calmly suggested to Emilia.
Emilia hesitated slightly upon hearing this, then nodded in agreement.
"Thank you."
"It's nothing."
You Te remained silent throughout; while the two Royal Selection Candidates were chatting, he nonchalantly walked towards the ruins, squatted down, picked up something, and quickly put it into his pocket.
Only after doing all this did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"You Te."
Just then, You Te was startled when he heard someone call him, and his body instantly tensed up.
He turned his head and saw Reinhardt, holding Felt who had fainted from excessive grief, walking towards him.
You Te took a deep breath, looked at him, and asked: "What's wrong?"
Reinhardt looked at You Te and asked in a very serious, low voice: "You Te, what do you think of the Royal Selection? Have you already followed Princess Emilia?"
Upon hearing this, You Te was slightly stunned, and his gaze subconsciously looked towards Emilia not far away; she also happened to look over, and their gazes met.
Then Emilia immediately averted her gaze, her slender and fair fingers somewhat awkwardly beginning to knead her smooth silver hair, her movements appearing a little flustered.
Quite adorable.
"Liya and I are friends." You Te smiled slightly.
Reinhardt was momentarily surprised by this answer, but then he also smiled and nodded:
"I understand."
"I believe we will meet again soon."
Reinhardt said with a meaningful tone, then turned and left.
You Te watched his retreating back without much thought, and then the group returned to the Karsten Dukedom.
Upon returning to the mansion, Felix treated You Te's wound, but found that the wound was healing very slowly, so he guessed that Elsa's hidden weapon had a special poison on it.
However, the truth was—You Te had applied his sword qi to the wound, and as for the purpose of doing so, those who know, know.
... ...
Late at night.
A figure deftly slipped out of the Karsten Dukedom.
You Te found a secluded small inn that didn't require identification, then booked a room for three days.
After entering the small room, he threw the small piece of finger from his pocket onto the bed, then also threw a dead qi magic item brought from the Balk Family onto the bed.
Then he walked to the side and watched quietly.
After a while, the wound on the small piece of finger began to squirm.
Then, it slowly transformed into a fair-skinned woman with an alluring figure.
The magic item completely lost its luster at this point.
Looking at Elsa, who was naked and pale, You Te sighed, wondering if this was the right thing to do.
This was all for the convenience of collecting dead qi.
Elsa slowly opened her eyes at this moment, then looked at You Te.
You Te met her gaze for a moment, then shrugged: "I've booked the room for three days, take your time recovering. Oh, and you can come find me when you're healed."
After saying that, he flipped out the window and disappeared into the night.
Damn it, if he stayed any longer, You Te was really afraid he would make a mistake.
This half-vampire was unusually alluring.
He suddenly recalled a famous saying from his previous life—a young man doesn't know the beauty of a mature woman....
"You Te..."
Elsa didn't even have the strength to sit up now; she softly murmured You Te's name, then closed her heavy eyelids.
