Emilia Camp

The **Emilia Camp** (エミリア陣営) is a Royal Selection team that is led by Emilia.

## Information

Emilia stated that she wants to be the monarch in order to melt the frozen lands of the Great Elior Forest. In addition to that, she has stated that she has no desires except equality in the Kingdom of Lugunica if she becomes king. After the trials hosted by Echidna, Emilia learns that she might be unable to melt the ice without killing the inhabitants, but she still wants to be king.

## History

The camp was formed when Roswaal L Mathers approached Emilia while she was still living at the Elior Forest with Puck and revealed to her that she has the necessary qualities to partake in the Royal Selection, having likely learned of her through his Book of Wisdom. As the Kingdom's resources might be used to restore the frozen forest, Emilia agreed to participate and moved to Roswaal Manor, despite Puck's protests, seeing that Roswaal likely had alternate motives. Thus, the camp was formed with Emilia, Roswaal, Puck, Ram, and Rem as its founding members.

As Puck expected, Roswaal had a hidden motive for approaching Emilia. Through his book, he learned of a boy named Natsuki Subaru, who would receive an Authority to rewind Time and was destined to fall in love with Emilia. Seeing Subaru's ability as a priceless asset, Roswaal sets up the events of their meeting by hiring Elsa Granhiert to kill Emilia. In the end, just as Roswaal intended, Subaru manages to stop Elsa and Emilia brings him into the faction, where Roswaal immediately sets up a working relationship. However, Rem is initially suspicious of Subaru because of the Witch's scent lingering on him. This changes after he proves himself by saving the Arlam villagers from a Wolgarm attack and saving the children who were kidnapped by Meili Portroute, ultimately gaining her trust.

Once the Royal Selection officially begins, the Emilia Camp starts out in the worst possible position. On top of facing prejudice, Emilia fails to gain the nobles' support. Even worse, Subaru antagonizes said nobles in a misguided attempt to stand up for her. In the midst of this, Roswaal begins to set his plans for Subaru into motion. Knowing that the **Hakugei** will appear at the Lugunica plains and the Witch Cult was preparing to assassinate Emilia, he stepped back and allowed Subaru to handle them, while making sure he had the resources to overcome both obstacles. In the end, Roswaal's gamble pays off, as Subaru manages to defeat both the Hakugei and the Sin Archbishop of Sloth by forging an alliance with the Crusch Camp and Anastasia Camp. Also, since he played leading roles in both battles, Subaru, and by extension, the Emilia Camp, receive most of the credit.

In the aftermath of the battle with the Hakugei and Witch Cult, the camp gains several new members. Subaru recruits a merchant he befriended, Otto Suwen, while Roswaal re-hires his old maid, Frederica Baumann, as well as a new apprentice maid, Petra Leyte. However, the Emilia camp suffers a loss when Rem has her existence eaten by the Sin Archbishop of Gluttony and becomes afflicted by the condition known as Sleeping Beauty, rendering her in a state of suspended animation.

With the camp now in a comfortable position, Roswaal sets up his most ambitious plan yet. He divides the camp up by luring one half to the Sanctuary while the other stays at Roswaal Manor. At the Sanctuary, the residents force Emilia to take a trial to undo the barrier that keeps them in. Meanwhile, Roswaal sets up an incident to happen at both the Sanctuary and the manor at the same time. He once again hires Elsa and Meili to attack the mansion whilst he himself lures the **Oousagi** to the Sanctuary. Roswaal's goal is to further Subaru's development by forcing him to sacrifice one to save the other. During this time, Puck forcibly breaks his contract with Emilia, allowing her to start recalling the memories from her past, enabling her to tackle and overcome the three Trials from the Echidna's Tomb.

After the events at the Sanctuary, Natsuki Subaru officially becomes Emilia's Knight.

Roughly a year after the events in the Sanctuary, the Anastasia Camp contacts the Emilia Camp and invites them to the Watergate City of Priestella, promising Emilia a glintstone capable of capturing the Beast of the End's presence, which will allow Emilia to remake her Contract with Puck. During their stay in the Watergate City, the other Royal Selection Camps arrive, as it turns out that Anastasia planned to get to know each other better and possibly forge some alliances. Sadly, the laid-back times soon ends, as a couple of days after their arrival, the Witch Cult makes their grand appearance. The Sin Archbishops of Greed, Wrath, Gluttony (Lye and Roy), and Lust besiege the city, taking control of it and flooding one of the districts. The Camps have to work together to defeat the vile presence in the city. After a long and arduous battle with the Cult, the Royal Selection Candidates manage to prevail, in no small part due to the Emilia Camp's struggles and contributions in form of Subaru masterminding large portions of retaliation.

After the death of the Sin Archbishop of Greed and the capture of the Sin Archbishop of Wrath, the Emilia Camp sets their goals for the Pleiades Watchtower, located at the very east of the country. Their plan is to locate the "Sage" and somehow find a solution that will allow them to revert the damages done by Lust and Gluttony. On their way, the Emilia Camp decides to take Meili Portroute with them in order to resolve the possible Demon Beast danger. Select members of the Anastasia Camp also accompany them, as both Anastasia and her knight Julius Juukulius have suffered unconventional damages: Julius has lost his name in a deadly fight with Gluttony and Anastasia's body has been possessed by her Artificial Spirit, Echidna, who is unable to return the body to her rightful owner. While at the Pleiades Watchtower, the two Camps find themselves in an unprecedented situation, as they are forced to deal with five obstacles as well as Subaru's sudden loss of memories due to the reappearance of Gluttony.

After overcoming the five obstacles, Subaru is teleported to the Sacred Vollachia Empire where, after over a year of being in a vegetative state, Rem finally regains consciousness.
