Princess Jade's eyes widened, staring blankly at what was happening in front of her, in disbelief.

Just a second ago, she was still thinking, "It's over, I'm going to be threatened as a hostage, and maybe it will involve the two magicians Kira and Jura and the innocent people behind me." She didn't expect the next step.

In one second, there was such a turning point.

After the Minister of Finance was thrown away by a crystal ball of unknown origin, several more identical crystal balls flew by, accurately hitting the orc who was holding down the Emerald Princess, and screamed.

This time, Princess Emerald saw it clearly. What saved her was a green crystal ball made of the same material, about half the size of a head. Judging from the muffled sound after hitting the orc, it must have been heavy.

Before she could react, several more black shadows rushed into the crowd. The black shadows moved extremely fast. As they shuttled back and forth, the orcs shouted one after another. In just a dozen breaths, they all fell to the ground.

.

Who saved me?

While she was wondering, she suddenly heard several voices coming from behind her.

"Why did you suddenly take action, Urrutia? Do you know him? Or do you have a grudge against him?"

"I don't know him, but he doesn't look like a good person. Let's fight him first!"

"Hey...when did you become so impulsive? Is it because you got the 'Fairy Tail' problem after being together for a few days?"

"I think Urrutia did the right thing! I also don't think that person is a good person!"

"Well, although I really want to say that you are judging people by their appearance, I also think so... Eric, what do you think?"

"Don't worry, your guess is correct. He is indeed not a good person. This is called love born from the heart!"

"Look, I just said..."

The Emerald Princess heard the sound and looked around, and found that the people who took action were five men and three women wearing the same jacket. One of them looked like a child. She suddenly felt that these eight people looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where they met.

Yes, but there is no doubt that they were the ones who just helped him.

"Thank you for your help! Eh?! You were the one last time..."

Jade stood up and took two steps forward, bowed and thanked her. When she stood up, she was suddenly stunned. She looked at the leader Jellal and was stunned for a moment. Apparently, she recognized Jellal who had saved her in the Winter Hot Spring Hotel.

Lal; and several people on the opposite side also recognized the princess, and even because of her daze, they made fun of Jellal.

"Oh~ What a coincidence! How can such a coincidence happen in the world? Are you right?"

"That's right...this is the second time, Jellal~"

"Did you wear clothes this time and didn't recognize it for a while?"

"Ah! Destiny! What a magical and romantic thing!"

Jellal became more and more annoyed as he listened, and stopped everyone's behavior angrily: "I told you... that's almost enough! If you keep talking, you will have to take care of your own living expenses!"

Since the establishment of this organization, Kira has not distributed money once, and almost all the proceeds from their raids on the Dark Guild are managed by Jellal, the acting leader, which means that he has always had financial power.

There is no way, who can let others have no experience in this area? If they are allowed to manage, they will definitely eat, drink and spend money without hesitation - Urrutia can't do it either. This guy is busy researching some skin care products recently.

It’s even more expensive to spend money!

After Jellal said this, a few people restrained themselves a little, and instead of making fun of him in front of his face, they chose to turn their heads.

"...I'll take care of you later!"

Jellal covered his head silently skillfully, then stepped forward and asked: "I remember you are the princess of the Kingdom of Fiore, right? Why do you appear here?"

After a short exchange, both parties knew the reasons why they were here.

Jellal and others had a cynical attitude towards the anxious situation between the two countries and the political instability in the country below them. They only cared about the black magic in the other's hands. However, after learning that Kira judged that it was not Zeref's,

It was almost time to return home;

Jade, on the other hand, was surprised by the identities of the other people. She did not expect that the people who saved her twice were actually the criminals who were rumored to be wanted by the Senate, as well as the remaining members of several dark guilds that were once the most famous in the magic world.

It was unexpected to see their current changes, but what she didn't expect even more was that they had such a close relationship with Kira.

No wonder I have always heard that the guild "Fairy Tail" is very chaotic, but it turns out that it is really chaotic to this extent! Is it really okay to do this? Does the council know about this situation?

Finally, Jellal requested: "If possible, I hope you can hide our affairs!"

"You have been kind to me twice, which means you are kind to the Kingdom of Fiore, and you are still fighting against the forces of darkness. Of course I will not let you be troubled because of me!"

Princess Jade readily agreed. After hesitating for a few seconds, she suggested, "Perhaps, I can give you another choice!"

"Huh??" Several people were puzzled.

"In fact, the Fiore royal family has been setting up a magic force for a long time. One of them is responsible for supervising the movements of all magic guilds in the kingdom. Its function is equivalent to the combination of the Senate's inspection team and the detention team. If you are interested,

, in the future, you can become the deployment of the kingdom and live an upright life."

“Eh??!

!" As soon as these words came out, Jellal and others were stunned. They all looked at each other and said cautiously, "But...but...we are the Dark Guild...and the criminals wanted by the Council!"

"Don't worry about this, I can pardon several of your crimes on behalf of the royal family!"

Several people were stunned again: "Forgive our sins? Is it really possible?"

Princess Jade smiled brightly: "Weren't you forced in the first place? Since you yearn for the light in your heart and decide to take responsibility for past sins in the future, it should be more convenient to act in this identity, right?"

Of course, the exoneration here is tied to joining the army! Although Jade is grateful for their life-saving grace, he still feels the need to carefully verify the experiences they said. Of course, if it is confirmed in the end, direct pardon is not a problem.

The other party's olive branch was caught off guard, and even Jellal didn't react.

He looked at Eric, who understood what he meant and nodded to him, indicating that the princess was sincere and had no other thoughts.

But this made them even more entangled: if they accepted it, then they and others would be regarded as the officially established magicians of the kingdom, and they should eat official meals. Originally, this was a good thing for all of them, but

...They are also worried that they will lose the freedom they finally gained.

Accept it or not accept it? Choose legal status or freedom in life? This is a question!

After several concerns, several people unanimously turned their attention to the acting leader and diplomat Jellal, intending to let him make the final decision that would affect the future shape of the organization.

As for Kira, that guy just doesn't care about anything and can make a fool of himself. How can a boss be like this? - Well, the fact is that they don't want Kira to be affected by him and others, so they should be a sage of Fairy Tail.

Isn't it bad to have the 'Holy Ten' in the magic world?

Jellal's answer naturally lived up to expectations: "We are all people who have committed serious crimes. We were exempted from the sanctions of the Senate because Kira came forward to guarantee and gave us the opportunity to make amends. We are very grateful to you for granting us exemption.

We have the opportunity to take responsibility and serve as a royal force, but we cannot betray Kira’s trust!”

This is a clever answer: it expresses gratitude to the princess for her kind invitation, so as not to make the other party dissatisfied; it presses down the two life-saving graces to create another chance for future absolution; it shows that he cannot live up to Kira's trust.

, perfectly created a positive image; he explicitly refused the invitation because of Kira's trust, implying that he and others were eager to be exempted from guilt; most importantly, if he didn't change jobs, he wouldn't be beaten up by Kira.

No one with no IQ or EQ could come up with such words in three seconds. Among these eight people, only Jellal could do this.

His meaning is very clear: I want both immunity and freedom!

"Really? That's really a pity!" Regarding Jellal's reply, Princess Emerald didn't show much surprise.

In fact, she had expected this kind of thing. Although she had sincerely invited her just now, she was already prepared to be rejected.

According to her understanding, the more powerful a person is, the more they advocate freedom, so the powerful magicians in the kingdom are more willing to work in the magic guild.

It is precisely for this reason that Fiore's royal troops have been unable to recruit any powerful magicians, such as the Knights of the Hungry Wolf, which are dedicated to executions. The strongest one cannot compare with the S-class magicians of those powerful magic guilds.
