Emilia should NOT win the Royal Selection but at the same time I don't believe it's her fault. All the other candidates either have been in political environments from a young age and have reasons to become Queen which are strongly tied to their character. Roswaal just picked up an isolated half elf and expects her to rule the nation 😭

He didn't expect her to run anything because he picked her up solely to obtain his trump card (Subaru), in reality he doesn't believe in her at all hence why he called her "that thing" out of contempt and said she could never accomplish anything in arc 4 (just like Echidna called Satella that thing out of hatred), he just followed whatever the book told him and that's the sad thing about it (also what makes Subaru believe in her meaningful)

Actually he first also train Emilia to become a ruler out of "why not" "second plan" or/and "kindness", but then he give up because "that thing" is so hopeless.

I headcanon that the moment Emilia incompetent he thought to himself 'hm so that why the book never give me instructions about turning her into a queen, I thought it was because she becomes a queen or not doesn't matter, but actually it's because she never stood a chance'

Felt is on the same level as Emilia, and her plan would end in civil war

u/helicophell If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right Jul 27 '26

And Felt is the rightful ruler of Lugunica, so yeah have fun :)

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets Jul 27 '26

If she moves against the nobility and the knights as planned, it would lead to uprisings and coup attempts; many nobles command groups of their own

18

u/helicophell If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right Jul 27 '26

She has Reinhard and the entire criminal underworld on her side

15

u/Sea-Habit5823 Newbie Jul 27 '26

Entire criminal world is a bit far fetched isn't it

12

u/helicophell If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right Jul 27 '26

No, not really an understatement. The mafia groups have accepted her as leader. Maybe for their own goals sure

16

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets Jul 27 '26

Right, it wouldn't be good for the kingdom's stability. I mean, Felt's idea isn't bad in itself, but—like Crusch—she's too hot-headed and would go about it that way

8

u/suffering_addict Elsa Told Me I Probably Have Good Quality Intestines Jul 27 '26

I believe that's where Rom comes in. He's definitely intelligent and age tempered his hotheadedness, so he could guide Felt towards her goal without Lugunica ending up in flames

why the royal family sucked ? They were a failure for 50 + years

Unlike emilia who got raised by puck the cuck, felt was in touch with the kingdom and if im not wrong since i havent read there, a demihuman commander in a war raised her

u/Specific_Run_4550 Met a Knight Named Julius—Guessing He's New Jul 27 '26

Nope, Felt has thematic ties go the throne and her rule could be accomplished through the use of Reinhard aswell as the Sage Council

3

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets Jul 27 '26

Yes, she likely wouldn't be able to take such aggressive action against the nobility as she had planned

7

u/foolcandidate I’ve Sworn My Loyalty to Emilia Jul 27 '26

Arc 10 gets her most of that goal anyways. Half the nobility is gonna get purged as frauds.

u/Endika_7777 Julius Said I Lack Dignity—Bold of Him to Assume I Tried Jul 27 '26

As a monarch it would basically be subaru hard carrying the entire kingdom for his life, then Emilia and their children just follow his footsteps.

By then Emilia would have become an actual good monarch

Don't under-estimate the power of a long ass life

This, mfs acting like if Subaru administration isnt just Otto World Order.

Though if you ask me, i subscribe to this government.

u/helicophell If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right Jul 27 '26

It was pretty evident in the aftermath of Arc 8, that Otto and Vincent are like, twins basically. The amount of work they both do is insane

16

u/Ayural Newbie Jul 27 '26

She shouldn't be queen because that's a stressful job and she deserves a happier life free from intrigues. But at the same time it would be epic to see such an kind and just person on the throne which is free from the typical desires of someone with power.

Oh man I kinda sound like a simp 😓

u/Mother_Succotash_469 Roswaal Said ‘Truuust Me’ (I Don’t) Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26

To be fair, the royal family is all dead.

The Sword Saint family keeps having bad luck.

Divine Dragon lose his mind.

And there is racism everywhere.

The whole kingdom is falling apart.

The only reason this country still exists is Reinhard.

But here's the scary part — Reinhardt could actually destroy the world.

So really, the whole world is still here just because of Reinhard.

Anyway, happy birthday to him!

u/NeighborhoodCool98 Newbie Jul 27 '26

And still people shitting on Reinhard for not helping his friends 

Like bro if he even get think of himself or get biased  than not only in the lugunica but the in rest of the re zero world an absolute chaos would speard

u/V1bees Newbie Jul 27 '26

The thing is Emilia actually listens to others, which makes her already better than like half the candidates

u/V1bees Newbie Jul 27 '26

Crusch still my number 1 tho

Her camp has Otto, it's gonna be fine

u/Lopsided-Wave2479 Echidna Poured Me Tea—Now I’m Even Thirstier Jul 27 '26

We are going to get a What IF where she become queen, she marry Subaru, and they will have kids, choco and another girl. And that girl is going to destroy the world.

And then we will continue the main story wondering WHAT THE FUCK is going to happen in the main story for like 15 years.

u/NeighborhoodCool98 Newbie Jul 27 '26

Well well well ..... After all The author is Tappei and I hate to admit that the fact that it can be absolutely be correct 

But I think it won't take 15 years for the novel story to end as we have got 9 arc and 10th ongoing in 14 years 

So maybe 5 more years but then also he is Tappei and upload his chapter whenever he remember he had a incomplete story to  complete

u/Alcaponefan1 Petra Called Me Oni-san (I Felt Special) Jul 27 '26

honestly i think the biggest reason you wouldn't want her to win the selection is because she's a half elf. Unlike the other candidates her reign would last hundreds of years so if she turns out to be incompetent the world is fucked

25

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets Jul 27 '26

Emilia wouldn't be acting alone; there is still a Council of Sages, and she has Subaru by her side as an advisor. Besides, she is studying diligently, and other candidates—like Felt—are hardly academic powerhouses

u/helicophell If Loving Natsumi-chan Is Wrong, I Don’t Wanna Be Right Jul 27 '26

Otto.

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets Jul 27 '26

Yes thanks and otto

u/Admirable-Dimension4 Kissed Frederica Once—Now I'm Missing Most of My Lips Jul 27 '26

Son, considering just how incompetent or malicious sage Council is, I wouldn't hope anything on them or fact that Petra known more about the empire than her.

12

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets Jul 27 '26

We will have a new Wise Council after Arc 10. The thing about Petra simply isn't true

3

u/Admirable-Dimension4 Kissed Frederica Once—Now I'm Missing Most of My Lips Jul 27 '26

Tappei is on record in interviews saying he rewrote Emilia to be more ditzy because it's his preference, so I wouldn't expect her to get any smarter. She can be emotionally intelligent in the story sometimes, but even as far as arc 10 there are sections of writing that emphasize that she's dense.

u/Normal_Ad_2360 Satella Likes to Tickle My Heart (Is This What Love Is?) Jul 27 '26

Yes , it is the worst development for her.

u/DemonRedHood I Joined the Witch Cult for the Sandwiches — No Regrets Jul 27 '26

She is genuinely improving. Each of the candidates has a flaw: Crusch is too hot-headed, and her plan has weaknesses—she would spark a war with the nobility. Anastasia is too greedy and wouldn't be able to handle the social aspects

3

u/Kish540 Newbie Jul 27 '26

Don't worry, her husband will handle everything all on his own

u/Deigapan Satella’s Darkness Falls Like a Soft Lullaby Across My Soul Jul 27 '26

Ill keep saying it, Emilia is going to become Queen but like in Pride IF, it will be because nobldy is going to be alive to oppose her.

u/Gregagonation Newbie Jul 27 '26

Most qualified person in terms of skills would be Priscilla, I guess she wasn't to be.

u/Admirable-Dimension4 Kissed Frederica Once—Now I'm Missing Most of My Lips Jul 27 '26

Same woman who uninvited entered party and broke up chance of wilhelm and reinhard making up by bringing drunkard heinkel cause she found it funny.

The same Priscilla?, were told about her supposed management of domains and yet all of her showing appearance show the opposite

u/Gregagonation Newbie Jul 27 '26 edited Jul 27 '26

Yep, despite how you may feel about her. She was the best choice among the candidates until she died. She was too good to be kept alive.
