'So that's why Reinhard took Felt'

Subaru thought to himself, surprised that Felt is one of the candidates for the throne. The room stood in silence due to this revelation, unsure on how to handle it. Felt approached Reinhard and although he tried to be comforting, she attempted to kick him yet he managed to block the attack with ease. He asked what was wrong only for her to complain about the lack of information he had given her. As she complained, she noticed Sora and Subaru to which she immediately went from hostile to overjoy, happy to see her two favorite keyblade wielders.

"It has been such a long time, how goes Subaru's training?"

"He is improving very rapidly, I think he might be able to do second level magic now."

"That is so cool!"

Felt smiled happily at the two before Marcos asked if she was done rekindling her old friends and asked if she can stand alongside the other candidates. She approached the others, complaining for a bit until she noticed Emilia, making her happy to see a familiar face as well. The nobles were disturbed by this and quickly asked Reinhard how he found the next candidate. Reinhard explained that he found Felt in the slums which did not sit well with them. They questioned Reinhard to which the knights disliked this, causing tension to be in the room.

"Man, there is a lot of tension in this room."

"Doesn't bother me." Al says in a calm manner, not caring for what beef the knights and nobles had with each other. Felix chims in that he also doesn't care since his attention and loyalty is to Crusch. Julius expressed his loyalty to Anastasia before Subaru thought about how he will always be loyal to Emilia above everyone. Priscilla looks at Felt and makes a comment about how she is nothing more than lowlevel trash to which Felt took it as a challenge. Just as it seemed like a fight was going to break loose, Reinhard stepped in and apologized before showing everyone that Felt is one of the five candidates. He placed the insignia on her hand and it began to glow, showing that she is seen as one of the five who can become the queen of Lugnica.

Tensions grew with Priscilla insulting Emilia for being a silver half elf to which Subaru, Sora, and Felt all three did not take that kind of mistreatment lightly. Felt threatened to kill Priscilla if she didn't apologize to Emilia to which Reinhard had to step in again since tension was growing higher.

"It's not my fault she was born like the witch. And as for you, I think I should kill you for even thinking that you have the slightest chance of killing me."

"That's enough, I will not allow things to go on like this. I, Reinhard van Astrea, will protect Felt-sama so I suggest we just drop it entirely."

The tension managed to drop once the royal selection continued with each candidate being introduced with their attendant. The first was Priscilla Barielle with Al as her attendant, to which she began to speak in an overconfident manner,

"This selection is pointless. I am the one suited to rule this nation! All you need to do is serve me and grovel at my feet."
