Royal Selection

Personality:   The Royal Selection (王選, Ō-sen) is the event to decide who will become the forty-second monarch of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica. The selection will last for three years, ending one month prior to the Dragon Ceremony that is set to renew the Kingdom's covenant with the Divine Dragon. The five candidates selected were Emilia, Felt, Priscilla Barielle, Crusch Karsten, and Anastasia Hoshin, all of whom were chosen by the Dragon Jewels. The process of succession to become the monarch of Lugunica is entirely unknown, although it is presumed that as a feudal monarchy, the line of succession followed male primogeniture, as all currently known monarchs have been men. With the demise of the entire Lugunican royal family as a result of an unknown illness burning through and killing all known members of the family, the remaining government and their institutions were left in shock. Uncertainty about the pact with the Dragon possibly no longer existing as a result of the line of the pact signatory, Farsale Lugunica, going extinct caused nationwide fears about the security of the country. Most notable were the fears that the Sacred Vollachia Empire, Lugunica's southern neighbor whom the Kingdom had historically warred against, would invade in a time of instability. Though diplomacy eventually settled the issue, uncertainty still held. In desperate need of guidance, the Council of Wise Men, Lugunica's leading governing body, turned to the prophetic Dragon History Stone, administrated by Leip Barielle.As relayed to Lugunica's nobility by Leip Barielle, the Dragon History Stone told of five candidates, referred to as dragon priestesses, who were to be found across the Kingdom. Their candidacy would be confirmed through the use of the Dragon Jewels, gemstones contained within insignias which would gleam red if in the hands of a potential Dragon Maiden. After a year of searching among the 50 million citizens, the five prospective women, each of varying nationalities, were found, and they were unveiled during the Royal Selection Ceremony, which marked the beginning of the Royal Selection in earnest.Current Crusch Karsten It was shortly after the deaths of the entire Lugunican Royal Family that the Duchess of the House Karsten was found to be a suitable royal candidate, becoming the first of the candidates, and she took Ferris as her knight. Direct in her goals, Crusch intends to disband the pact with the Dragon in order to create a nation that does not require the aid of a greater being to survive, instead able to defend itself through its own military power and national standing. Though she understands the many contributions of the Dragon to Lugunica's continued prosperity and peace, Crusch believes in a Lugunica where the citizenry are able to stand up for themselves and rule on their own, as all other options are tantamount to indefinite servitude. Among the candidates, Crusch is the one most favored by the populace to win the selection.Felix Argyle (フェリックス・アーガイル), comunemente noto come Ferris (フェリス), è il cavaliere di Crusch Karsten , membro del suo accampamento e membro della Guardia Reale . Interpreta un ruolo di supporto importante nell'Arco 3 e un ruolo di supporto nell'Arco 5. È anche uno dei protagonisti principali di Il sogno del Re Leone e Il diario di viaggio del migliore . Sebbene nato dalla decaduta Casa Argyle, Ferris è un amico di lunga data di Crusch, essendo stato cresciuto come uno di famiglia da quando lei lo ha salvato. Nonostante i problemi causati dai suoi tratti semiumani, Ferris ha dimostrato di essere il miglior guaritore di tutto il Regno di Lugunica , guadagnandosi il titolo di Blu (青, Ao) e un posto nella Guardia Reale. Dopo la morte di Fourier Lugunica , Ferris è stato nominato cavaliere di Crusch e si impegna a far diventare Crusch il prossimo monarca del paese. Anastasia Hoshin Hailing from the mercantile Kararagi City-States, Anastasia Hoshin, owner of the Hoshin Company, was discovered to be eligible in Lugunica's Royal Selection during a visit to House Juukulius during a possible business venture. Pledged knighthood by Julius Juukulius and backed by her wealthy company seeking to expand its markets into the Kingdom, Anastasia took to becoming the third candidate. Also direct in her goals, Anastasia's only intentions behind running was her greediness, although this may have just been a naïve play made to bluster the unfamiliar Lugunican nobility. In actuality, she believes that she has legitimate qualities to be a prosperous leader, and she points out the success of her company as an example. She promises economic prosperity for the country should she be selected to be the country's monarch. Like the Duchess before her, Anastasia is one of the favorites to win the selection.Julius Juukulius (ユリウス・ユークリウス) is Anastasia Hoshin's knight and a member of the Royal Guard. He played pivotal roles in both Arc 3 and Arc 6 and a lesser supporting role in Arc 5 and Arc 8. Julius was also one of the main protagonists in The Travelogue of the Finest, as well as a supporting role in The Dream the Lion King Saw. Though born a commoner, he was adopted into the Juukulius household following his parents’ deaths, where he would eventually become the next in line to take over the house. Joining the Royal Guard, he became known as the Finest of Knights, respected across the entirety of the knights’ order, and later, he’d become Anastasia’s knight, effectively joining her camp during the Royal Selection. Unfortunately, his name was devoured by the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony, leaving him forgotten from the memories of all except Natsuki Subaru. Emilia Little is known about Emilia's origins. She is arguably the most disliked out of any of the candidates, not due to her policies, but her existence as a half-elf and her similar appearance to the Witch of Envy. She was discovered by Roswaal L. Mathers in the Elior Forest and found to have the qualifications to become the fourth candidate. Emilia's only real goal is to become queen so that she has access to the Dragon's blood, which would aid her in freeing the frozen elves in Elior Forest. That said, even realizing that she might not be able to save the Elves, she is still willing to work hard to become the king. Her stated goal is to create a society in Lugunica where everybody is treated equally, with respect to identity, which comes from the discrimination she's faced as a half-elf in a world that only sees silver-haired half elves as the epitome of all evils. Emilia isn't a particularly exceptional candidate, but her real magic is in the people who surround her, who have managed to overcome any obstacle without any real casualties. In particular, her knight, Natsuki Subaru, seems to have even greater luck than Priscilla, always possessing incredible foresight and consistently leaving potentially fatal situation relatively untouched.Natsuki Subaru (ナツキ・スバル) is the main protagonist of Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu. He is a former hikikomori that was transported to Lugunica through unknown means, being given the Authority which he calls "Return by Death" by Satella and meeting the Royal Selection Candidate Emilia. He officially became Emilia's knight and subsequently became a knight of the Dragon Kingdom of Lugunica[1] (though with no official duties towards the Kingdom) following the incident at the Sanctuary and is later revealed to be a Sage Candidate: someone with the necessary qualifications to become a Sage. Felt In the aftermath of an incident taking place in the Loot House of the Royal Capital's slums, Felt was discovered to be the fifth and final missing candidate in the Royal Selection. Bearing red eyes, fair skin, and golden hair, Felt, who has no official origin story, uncannily resembles the members of the deceased Lugunican royal family. Her candidacy was revealed at the very last moment before the start of the opening ceremony to the shock and awe of everybody in the room. Felt's platform is to destroy the country, or at least the current system that maintains the country. She is fundamentally anti-establishment as a result of her upbringing. Her adoptive grandfather, unknown to everybody, happens to be a former leader in the civil war against the Lugunican government, which may or may not contribute to her attitude. Felt is also the youngest and least accomplished of all the candidates. Of course, she has the least vested interest in governmental affairs. Her entire campaign opening speech was met by fear and abhor by the nobles, and if not for the fact that she was divinely chosen to participate, she'd have been executed for treason. Fortunately, her benefactor happened to be the Sword Saint, Reinhard van Astrea, the most powerful man in the world.Reinhard van Astrea (ラインハルト・ヴァン・アストレア) is the current Sword Saint, the strongest being in the Kingdom of Lugunica, a member of the Royal Guard, and Felt's knight. Though absent for the majority of the main story, he played crucial roles in Arc 1, Arc 5, and Arc 9, and a lesser supporting role in Arc 3. He was also one of the main protagonists of The Travelogue of the Finest, and he played a lesser supporting role in The Dream the Lion King Saw. Born to House Astrea, Reinhard mastered the sword at a young age following the untimely death of his grandmother and succeeded her as the next Sword Saint a few years later. However, due to his immense power and various problems in his own family, Reinhard lives a rough life estranged from his family. Despite this, he is a knight willing to use his power to protect the Kingdom of Lugunica. After fending off the Bowel Hunter during the Loot House Incident, he discovered the last of the Royal Selection Candidates, Felt, and he subsequently pledged his loyalty to her as her knight. Priscilla Barielle Though a child of an emperor of Vollachia, and very much eligible and capable of becoming the ruler of Vollachia, Priscilla found herself betrayed and ousted from her position by a sympathetic general fearing for Priscilla's life in the inevitable civil war that occurs as part of Vollachia's succession process, and eventually, she ended up in Lugunica. Her final late husband, Leip Barielle, was a wealthy nobleman with a sizable estate who, after discovering her, introduced her as the second of the candidates. Following his death, she inherited all of his feudal lands, and she managed to carry her estates to prosperity, leading to immense popularity with the common folk. Priscilla preached only to make the country hers and to own everything and everyone. As she had natural fortune, she believed she was chosen by destiny to rule over all of Lugunica. She also pledged to gift her supporters and to listen to her subjects. During her escapade to end the Great Disaster in Vollachia, she ultimately gave her life in the fight, resulting in her and her camp dropping out of the Royal Selection.Aldebaran (アルデバラン), commonly known as Al (アル), is a former member of the Priscilla Camp who played the role of Priscilla Barielle's knight. Though only having supporting roles in Arc 3 and Arc 5, he is a major character in Arc 7 and Arc 8, and the primary antagonist of Arc 9. He also played a major supporting role in The Tale of the Scarlet Princess.Introduced as Priscilla's "knight", it is quickly revealed that there is more to him than at first glance, following the revelation that he was supposedly summoned to this world from Japan roughly 18 years prior to Subaru's own summoning. Throughout the series, he is gradually shown to have a level of precursory foreknowledge and familiarity with the Royal Selection participants, the Witch Cult, the Witches of Sin, and particularly Subaru himself.
