Re:Regulus Restarting From Zero With My Worst enemy ( Continuation)

Pristella is here

Otto cleared his throat and-

 Otto- Initially, Duchess Crusch Karsten and Anastasia Hoshin were generally understood as the sure winner and the competition. The other three factions, including yours... if you'd allow me to be blunt, they're somewhat seen as space-fillers.

Emilia: ...Mm, I can't deny that. But from what you're saying...

Otto: Exactly. Common opinion has changed over this last year. Because the other three factions, starting with yours, have made notable achievements. I guess , I should lay it all down one by one for you, bear with it , ok?

Emilia- Ok

Otto , once again prepared his throat-

Otto- The most conspicuous achievements from the Emilia Faction, predictably, are the defeat of Sloth and the White Whale. Crusch's Faction was the one leading the offensive against the Whale, but Crusch herself has publicly stated the greatness of Sir Natsuki Subaru's contribution to the effort. Though the other factions were helping, Subaru headed the Sloth offensive and Regulus took down the archbishop. Both achievements instantly drew public attention to the previously-disregarded Emilia. Emilia also stands out negatively due to her heritage. For better or for worse, Emilia is widely acknowledged as the topic of much gossip and rumour.

Then, there are priscilla and Felt.

Priscilla Barielle has done remarkable work. After inheriting land from her deceased husband, Leip Barielle, she used Lugnica's unfortunate position as a nation bordering the long-hostile Vollachian Empire to her advantage, and instantly made allies of the neighbouring territories in the confusion. Almost like magic, she pacified Vollachia and made allies of the lords. Then she revitalized lands that had been ruined by war. In this short time frame, she has definitely shown good prospects. She also has her overwhelming attitude and her looks going for her. Southern Lugnica grows more and more supportive of her by the day.

Emilia was taking it all in and with sad eyes remembered how priscilla was the one who started the "half- elf revolt" .

Otto continued on-

 Felt overcame her poor situation quite unexpectedly. Rather than consult the powerful nobles who could stymie the other candidates, she assembled those who had resigned from office and commoners on the streets. Felt is stupidly good at picking out those with hidden aspirations, or talented people who were never given a chance. Never mind the rumours about her having royal blood, she can identify people's talents and assign them to a post, which is perhaps the most important quality in a leader. From that small trigger, the Astrea household and its surrounding territories burst into activity, while the onlooking lords began to slowly change their tune. It's still just a small spark, but she is definitely carving herself a place in history. Nobody important in this nation is ignoring her.

Emilia- Well, that's great for her.

Otto- But, not great for us..US 

Otto said with anxiety flowing in his tone and-

Emilia- I don't think that should be that much troubling for us, right?

Regulus nearby just muttered something under his breath-

Otto ( sighed) - You know, let me just complete my assement...So, where was I? Yes, yes, so, I was saying-

Otto cleared his throat and-

Otto- And this is where each faction is now. Our faction is quite notable for its achievements, but the other two parties have a more stable foundation. Though, I believe that we could disregard that if the Sizeable Hare offensive were officially acknowledged.
