Felt appears

The moment Felt entered the hall, people started whispering to each other, most wondering where did Reinhard find the girl. While Subaru looked confused while he stared at Felt and Reinhard.

"Felt-sama, thank you for gracing us with your presence." Reinhard spoke while placing one hand on his chest and doing a little bow.

"Reinhard…" Felt spoke and smiled before walking up to him. The two of them looked each other right in the eyes, but suddenly, Felt lifted her dress a bit before trying to kick Reinhard in the face.

But unfortunately, he caught her leg when it was a couple of inches from touching his face. "You dragged me here without an explanation, and what do you call this?!" One could clearly hear the anger in her voice as she glared at the red-haired knight who was still holding her leg.

"You surprise me. What's brought on such behavior?" Reinhard asked, genuinely confused by her behavior, he really wanted to know why she was acting in such a manner.

Kaji was holding himself from laughing, he didn't know why but seeing Reinhard's confused face, made him want to laugh. It looked as if the knight had truly no idea why Felt was acting in such a manner.

"Don't just stop my kick and ask me like nothing happened! I've had just about all I can take!" Felt was shouting at the knight while everyone else was looking at the situation with dumbfounded expressions.

"Does this dress not suit your tastes? It looks lovely one you" Reinhard spoke while gently lowering her leg and placing her foot and the ground while kneeling on one knee.

"Hahahahaha!" laughter resounded throughout the hall, Kaji just couldn't take it anymore he didn't know why it was so funny to him, but it was. And he couldn't hold back his laughter any longer.

While he was laughing everyone looked in his direction, to see a red-haired Oni laughing. While the Oni was laughing happily, Kaji didn't realize that to everyone else his laughter sounded utterly trying, making some of the noblemen fall to the ground while some knight took a step back.

Felt on the other hand recognized Kaji, and looked at him with a bit of surprise, she didn't expect to see him here. But right after Kaji was done Laughing he looked around to see everyone looking at him with different expressions. "What's wrong?"

"You do realize that when you laugh you look, and sound terrifying right?" Felt asked while looking at the red-haired Oni.

"..." Kaji didn't know what to say or even do, as he looked at the blond girl standing not far from him.

"Ahem! Felt-sama, if you are finished rekindling old friendships, please step over here." Marcus spoke, while his unchanging face looked at the last and final candidate for the position of the ruler of Lugnica.

Felt stepped forwards, and before long she stood right next to Emilia. "So what is it you want me to do?" She asked while looking at the people in front of her like their existence didn't matter one bit to her.

"I would like to say, "To act more like a lady," but this comes first." Reinhard placed an insignia in her hand, and the red gemstone in the middle started shining, confirming that she really was the fifth candidate. The shining insignia was proof that she was chosen, and the moment it started releasing red light, the noblemen oohed and aahed, while the knights just stood there.

"As you can see, the dragon has recognized Felt-sama as a priestess. Now that her participation has been approved, I believe it's time to begin the royal selection in Ernest. And the moment Reinhard finished speaking all of the formal knights of the kingdom, placed their right hand's pams on their chests where their hearts were, before bowing slightly.

But it seemed like not everyone agreed with this. "Even if the dragon stone recognized her, do you not think her selection is a bit problematic?" An old man from the noblemen's side spoke.

"You believe that we, the Imperial Knights, have made an error?" And with this question alone every single knight turned their heads in unison to stare at the noble who just spoke out. But all of the nobles stared back, but unbeknown to any of them Kaji was eating popcorn that he made, after finding and experimenting with all sorts of corn of this world.

Kaji felt like he was watching a movie, after all, there was no entertainment in this world. Kaji continued to toss some popcorn into his mouth while watching the scene in front of him.
