Arc 3 Part 2

The day before

"You okay?" Subaru asked Emilia. She had been staring off into deep space. 

Emilia broke out of her thoughts and looked at Subaru, "Y-yes, I'm fine." 

"I know you're nervous. Just chill! You're a royal candidate, aren't you? Keep your head up and you'll own the room. And in a few years, you'll actually own it." Subaru encouraged, smirking. He had full confidence in Emilia but it seems that half-elf did not have that same confidence in herself.

Despite that, she smiled at the encouraging words, "Thanks, Subaru." 

Present time

"I, Marcos, Leader of the Imperial Knights will now direct today's proceedings." A green haired man in a suit of armour announced.

"Finally, let's get this show on the road." Subaru grinned.

Marcos started, "It all happened one year ago when the Royal family, starting with the king, went into hiding-" 

"Listen, I get that ya want to talk up a good show, but I'm busy y'know? As we say in Kararagi, time is money. You should get on with it." The purple haired lady interrupted.

"Is she speaking in the Kansaikansai dialect?" Subaru asked, not expecting something from his world to show up here.

Al looked at Subaru for a second but said nothing, turning his attention back to the proceedings.

As the purple haired lady stopped bitching- I mean, talking about how precious her time is, the green haired duchess next to her nodded in agreement.

"I agree." 

"Crusch-sama, should the head of the Karsten family say such a thing?" Marcos asked.

The duchess confidently glanced at the Knight.

"It is important to observe formalities but it is also a fact that our time is precious. It would be wise to inform us of why we are here. But naturally, I do have a general idea." She stated with confidence.

The head Knight only raised his eyebrow at that and asked, "You already know the purpose of this meeting?" 

"Lord Miklotov, for a drinking party, yes?" She answered as she made herself look like an idiot. "One day, we'll be rivals but by sharing drinks on the same table, we would learn more about each other." She grinned.

"No, that is not correct." Marcos bluntly replied.

She glared at Felix, "This isn't what you told me, Felix."

"Hey now, all I said was, maybe it'll be a drinking party!" The catboy responded.

Meanwhile, Subaru's lip was trembling and he covered his mouth, trying not to laugh at the cringe that just took place.

"I see. Forgive me for speaking out of turn. Allow me to retract everything I said." 

"Hey now, just because she's backing down doesn't mean my opinion ain't gonna change. We already know how the Royal Selection works. No need to explain, right?" She asked as she looked at Emilia and Priscilla.

"I still think we should hear-" Emilia started but was cut off.

"I didn't ask for your opinion." Anastasia rudely interrupted.

Subaru's right eye twitched at that.

"You little shit,." Subaru muttered under his breath.

"Hey now! I don't really know what's up with the Royal Selection so I kinda wanna hear the rest." Al spoke up.
