Welcome to another chapter of my shit fic.

Sorry, my English sucks, so bear with me.

….

"I want to be Emilia-tan's knight"

Silence…more silence…

"Achoo" Ram sneezed, which broke the silence. Roswaal just looked at Subaru with his signature stupid smirk on his face. He didn't say anything for a few seconds, he just waited. Suddenly he stood up and walked towards Subaru who was sitting down on a chair with a fork in his hand.

"Hmm…you want to become Emilia-sama's knight?"

"Yes?"

Roswaal's smirk became even wider, making him look more stupid. He walked towards the wall which had a weapon, a sword hanging as a decoration. 'Why do you have a sword as decoration?!' He stared at the sword for a few seconds and then….he picked it up. The clown turned around, now facing Subaru. He pointed the sword towards Subaru and said with a demanding voice.

"To become a royal candidate's knight, you need to show your wo~rth"

Subaru, whose face now was at the tip of Roswaal's sword, changed into one of fear, confusion. He started shivering. He clearly didn't want this to happen. He looked at Emilia with a pleading look. He prayed, prayed for the gods from one of his games. Emilia on the other hand had a look of shock.

"Umm…Roswaal, i don't think that would be necessary-" said Emilia but was interrupted by the lord of the mansion.

"It's absolutely necessary, Emilia-sama. A royal candidate's Knight should be strong, capable of protecting his liege. A knight with no power, who has no knowledge of how this world works is just going to taint your name."

Roswaal is not a swordsman. He is a magician so he doesn't know much about how to use a sword. So he blindly swung the sword towards Subaru's face, trying to end his life but…

*clang*

"NOOOOO….!" shouted Emilia. What she saw after that was not something she expected. She expected an injured or maybe dead Subaru but instead the sword just flew out of Roswaal's hand, landing beside the chair Subaru was seated on. The maids had a neutral expression, Roswaal still had his stupid smirk, Subaru and Emilia were confused. What the hell happened?

Was that ice? Who did th-

Subaru's thought process was interrupted by the great Spirit of Fire who was floating near the Great spirit of Yin, Beatrice.

"I cannot let you kill him, Roswaal" said Puck with a serious tone.

"He is very important to Lia, if he dies, Lia will be sad. And those who make Lia sad…

WILL FACE MY WRATH"

Subaru, the maids and Roswaal too, shivered with fear. It was as if they were an inch away from death, being supported by a thin thread, that being Puck's leniency. When Roswaal was pointing his sword towards Subaru, the great spirits were just watching them without interfering, but when the master of the house was about to end the guest's life, Puck interfered by shooting an ice projectile so that it would deflect the sword. Luck being towards Subaru's side, he was saved from the sword.

*gulp* "Puck…" Subaru looked towards his savior. Yes, he was very grateful for Puck's action yet it scared the shit out of him when Puck spoke with such venom.

"...Thanks"

Roswell composed himself and gave Subaru a glare filled with hate.

"For now, I will leave you ali~ve. If you want to become Emilia's knight then show me your worth. Tomorrow morning I~ will be testing your skills~ " saying that Roswaal left the dining room. The maid bowed before leaving as well. Now, the only people in the room were Subaru, Emilia, Puck and Beatrice. No one spoke a word, until the great spirit of yin broke the silence.

"What was that I suppose?"

"What….do you mean Beatrice?" Asked Emilia with a confused tone.

"Subaru…." It was now Puck who spoke up.

"We both know what happened during that…unpleasant event. Care to explain?" Asked Puck.

"What? I just wanted to become Emilia's knig-" said Subaru only to get interrupted by the cat.

"Boy….you don't have to hide it….if you tell us about 'that' then maybe I will be a little less harsh on you" spoke Puck who had an annoyed expression.

"Puck? What happened?" Asked Emilia who was now worried because of the tense atmosphere.

"Lia…this boy…..when Roswaal was about to slice his head off…he parried his attack with the fork in his hand in such a way that not only the sword flew off Roswaal's hand, he also managed to destroy the ice projectile that I shot to deflect the sword." explained Puck.

Upon hearing this, the half elf showed a plethora of emotions in just a few seconds. From shock to relief to scared and finally, worried. "With a fork?" Asked Emilia.

"I did that?" Asked Subaru. He himself didn't know what exactly happened. At one moment the sword was about to cut through his throat and the next moment it flew out of the clown's hand.

"Hmmm….so you don't know what happened either huh….even though it was you…" said Puck. Puck knew that Subaru wasn't trying to fool him, thanks to his ability to sense emotions. The emotions he sensed were confusion, fear and shock. He stood..i mean, floated over the table for a few seconds, thinking about the current situation.

"Boy…you want to become Emilia's knight?" Asked Puck with his usual cheerful tone.

"y..yes"

"You have my permission." Said Puck before leaving the dining room, or more like a hall with Beatrice.

Emilia and Subaru were the only ones left there. They both looked at each other, wanting to ask questions as they were both equally confused.

"Subaru…what's going on?" Asked Emilia.

"Well…I do have a rough idea about the situation. But things just escalated quickly. All I asked was to become your knight and the clown straight up attempted to kill me. Seriously, who even does-"

"Are you sure…Subaru?"

"Sure? About what?"

"About…becoming my knight. Do you really want to be my knight" asked Emilia.

'Woah…she is really serious about this. Is becoming a knight a special thing only nobles have? Is this world corrupted? Am I going to be thrown to the edge just because I am a petty commoner? Is that the reason she is so concerned?' thought Subaru.

"You know, because I am a half elf and…it will cause you a lot of problems" Emilia continued.

"Huh?" Subaru dumbfounded.

'What the…..'

"I seriously don't care. Emilia-tan, listen. I don't care what others think about me being a half elf's knight. I don't really get what's the problem with this…..half elf and being your knight. I just want to become your knight. That's all. Okay?" Said Subaru

.doki doki.

"O-Okay," said Emilia with a small smile on her face.

'Ahhhh too cute, too cute'

"But Subaru, there is another problem" said a panicking Emilia.

"Another problem?" Asked Subaru.

"Roswaal will test your skills tomorrow right? You don't look like you have any experience with a sword…" 'yet you parried an attack with a fork' "...and you collapsed after using a little bit of magic. Then how are you going to-" said Emilia but Subaru answered her before she could finish.

"Ahh…don't worry Emilia-tan. I have many protections to help me with that and…" Subaru looked at Emilia and whispered 'copy' "...I have a lot of mana for disposal" said Subaru as he felt his chest burn a little. Subaru successfully copied Emilia's mana pool.

Emilia took a few seconds to process the words she just heard.

'Divine protections? MANY divine protections? Lots of mana?' were the thoughts Emilia had after she heard what Subaru told her.

"Ohhh….Subaru, I am going back to my room to rest a bit….and can you please stop by my room after some time. We….we need to have a serious talk about what you just said" said Emilia as she left the dining room (or is it a hall?).

"Huh? Did I say something weird? And all of this…just felt too over dramatic" said Subaru
