Chapter 126 Flashback

Who do you like the most among the representatives?

Everyones eyes turned to Becky.

Becky, who had been fidgeting with her thigh or twirling her hair until a moment ago, was now staring at Irene without blinking.

Oh, are you speechless?

Irene smiled leisurely and looked around.

She was planning to interview the representatives only about their personal lives today.

The reason was obvious: to elicit some stimulating fun.

Ill have to ask the other representatives first. Who do you think Becky will choose?

Then Louis answered without hesitation.

Its Flan. Theyre always together. Or should I say, Becky follows him around?

Follows him around? Hmm, why is that?

Irene added with interest. Beckys face turned red and she stammered.

Uh, uh, no, um

The more Becky was at a loss, the more satisfied the officials looked.

A cute girl who couldnt sit still would surely get a good reaction.

Becky glanced at Flan.

She looked back and forth between him and Irene a few times, and finally opened her mouth with difficulty.

I do like Flan the most

Irene grinned.

You like Flan the most?

Yes.

Really?

Every time Irene asked innocently and cheekily, Beckys voice got smaller.

In the end, she nodded her head slightly with a face that looked like it would burst if touched.

Yes. I mean, I like him as a representative. Thats possible, right?

Yes?

Ah! Did you mean as a romantic interest?

No, no! No Is it weird if I say no? No, anyway, no. No

As Becky rambled on, the officials around her laughed with a pleased expression.

Thanks to that, the atmosphere on the scene relaxed a bit.

Okay, then lets start the real interview.

Irene clapped her palms together with a loud sound.

How did you feel when you fell into the danger zone?

I wasnt too worried. It was Flans doing.

The voice that answered was Louis.

You werent worried when you fell into the danger zone? Come on, dont say that now.

Irenes gaze shifted to Trixie.

How does it sound to you, Trixie? Is Louis telling the truth right now?

Its true.

Trixie answered without hesitation.

Here we go again. I just thought that way. Its normal when youre with Flan.

Didnt you feel a strange emotion sprouting as you overcame the crisis? Thats what I was hoping for.

I already have someone I like.

Trixies short answer.

Interest filled the faces of Irene and the other officials.

They looked like cats who had found a fish.

The representative of the magic department, and the daughter of the Fritz family, has someone she likes Can you tell us a little bit about it? Just a little bit.

The person I like is.

Trixies face turned to Flan. The blue-haired girl continued calmly.

Only Flan knows.

Only Flan knows?

For a moment, Irene had a hunch that this interview would be a hit.

She turned her head and saw another official floating letters in the air with blue mana.

The envoy aged in real time as he watched the bored face of the princess.

The intrigues among the representatives were of no interest to the commoners, let alone the princess.

She had no curiosity for such things.

But what about now?

Two reporters exchanged quiet conversations with bright smiles on their faces.

I was worried that the princess would not be satisfied, but fortunately, it was not that bad.

I didnt expect her to like Flan so much. The bureaucrats still think it was an accident, but you know.

The group interview was practically arranged by the second princess.

Therefore, the key point in the palace was whether they had satisfied Auroras interest, and they had done it very well.

The reporter stroked his chin and said.

There are many who boast without any ability, but he did something that really got both attention and expectation. Thats why I keep thinking about him.

Thats right. I was totally disappointed with the daily life stories, but he did a great job in an unexpected way.

Im glad Flan joined us. What would we have done if we had only interviewed three people as planned?

We would have lost our heads.

The eyes of the two reporters turned to Aurora. She was holding the record sheet with both hands, and her gaze was fixed only on Flans face.

Finally, she opened her mouth.

Hey.

Yes, Your Highness.

The knights and the reporters straightened their postures and held their breaths. Aurora spoke slowly.

Its interesting. Very interesting.

Of course, her crescent-shaped pupils never left the record sheet.

He doesnt have the funds to build a magic tower. Does he not? Neither does the magic department, I suppose.

Aurora licked her lower lip.

But he was sure that the tower would be built. And he even added that it would suit my taste.

The reporters and the knights did not react.

Exactly, they could not react. It was the first time they saw Aurora show so much interest in something.

It was better to stay still and hope for the best. That was the expression for this situation.

Good.

Aurora blinked her eyes three times.

Crescent, waxing, waning.

Her pupils changed shape endlessly as she blinked.

Call the finance minister right away.

The Knight of the Flickering Flame, Scarlet, walked with difficulty.

She had almost fallen several times, and actually collapsed twice, but she managed to reach her destination.

The annex of the Judith family. Recollection.

She stared blankly at the building that contained unknown truths, and suddenly clenched her chest.

Ugh

She felt nauseous.

She was a loser.

She had lost so perfectly that she could not even make an excuse.

And she was afraid of the truth that she would face from now on.

A pain that felt like squeezing her whole body hit Scarlet countless times.

Even though the Flickering Flame had healed her body, it still hurt. It was a strange thing.

Ugh-.

She vomited again because her vomit was dirty.

She shook with pain and thought.

She had to go in.

She had to go in anyway.

Scarlet took out the key from her pocket with trembling hands.

It was the thing that would open the entrance of this annex, given by the lord.

She did not know how the interior of the annex was arranged, or how she could verify the truth.

But there was no other way.

She had to enter to understand what she had experienced. Even if she was swept away by the strange phenomenon.

Ugh

She breathed heavily and inserted the key into the entrance of the annex. Then the whole building flowed like a liquid and began to drip.

Swoosh!

The wave swallowed Scarlet whole.
