Chapter 309 (2): I Choose Auston—He’s the One with Popular Support
Shocked, Filomina raised her hand to save Auston, but before she could do anything, Silvia pushed her hand down.
What are you doing? He’s your husband! How heartless are you?
Filomina’s eyes widened, unable to understand what Silvia was doing, but she soon did.
“See?” Wayne withdrew his sword and questioned loudly. “Mr. Auston is not only loyal and devoted, but also courageous and shrewd. With Shadow Nightmare at his throat, his expression doesn’t even change. Who among you can do the same?”
Your mother, Auston thought.
As the Death Knight continued his act, the members of the Tulip Families came to realize that something was wrong. Looking at the Death Knight and Auston again, they couldn’t help but suspect that the two were true allies.
“I am the Goddess of Death’s knight in the human world, representing the interests of the Church of Death. I work with only the Crown, and I don’t care who is wearing the crown. Today, though...”
Wayne bowed to Auston with his sword in hand. “I choose Auston. He’s the one with popular support!”

This child is going above and beyond, Silvia thought.
Filomina was stunned. Who am I? Where am I? Am I going to be a princess consort?
The declaration was followed by a few seconds of silence, and then the banquet hall erupted into action. The Tulip Families couldn’t believe it. They scrambled back, away from the center of the venue. All of them tried to put their old friends in front of them, worried that they would run away faster than themselves.
