The Original Vampire - Chapter 684
As night fell, the streets of Yulongcheng gradually became quiet.
A luxury carriage stopped at the entrance of Sebastian Manor, the door opened, and Colin led Princess Judy out.
The manor housekeeper hurried forward to greet them, and took the two distinguished guests all the way to the master’s study.
Here, the three consuls of the Senate have gathered—Sebas Saint Hilde in the north, Dulles Saint Landes in the south, and Crete Saint Grian in the west.
After some greetings and greetings, several people took their seats.
The maids served coffee and desserts, and then walked away gently.
Princess Judy sat on the sofa and tried her best to look serious, but her nervousness and innocence were all seen by the old foxes present.
But Ke Lin next to her exuded an irresistible and powerful aura, which enveloped the entire study and made the three consuls dare not make trouble.
Colin took a sip of coffee, his cold eyes slowly swept over the three consuls present, and then said:
“Everyone, I called you here this time to discuss the issue of the heir to the throne.”
The three consuls looked at each other, and then Sebastian said:
“Count Angele, what is your opinion on this matter?”
“I think the line of succession should be followed. Since Prince Harrison was disinherited due to the murder of Gregory, Princess Judy should inherit the throne.”
The three of them looked as expected, and at the same time, they all turned their attention to Princess Judy, who was sitting beside Colin.
In fact, in their view, Colin’s move has already made a big concession.
Because they originally thought that Colin was going to overturn the previous ruling of the Senate and forcibly put Prince Harrison on the throne.
Now to push Princess Judy, it has already shown enough respect for the Senate, and it will not cause too much public opinion storm.
The three exchanged glances again, and then said:
“Count Angele, we also agree with your opinion. However, according to our understanding of the current political situation, if the Senate votes, I am afraid that Princess Judy may not be able to ascend to the throne smoothly.”
Colin frowned and wondered:
“The three of you joined forces, can’t you still influence more than half of the elders?”
Archon Dulles sighed and said helplessly:
“Count Angele, the influence of the consuls on the elders is not as strong as before. After all, since the old man Heidegger implemented the reform of the senate, the consuls are no longer life-long.”
Only then did Colin come to his senses, and quickly took a sip of coffee to cover up his embarrassment—
Because this reform of the Senate was actually suggested by him to the Prime Minister, Baron Heidegger.
At that time, he suffered repeated setbacks in the Senate in order to let Vera succeed the Duke of the North, so he came up with this idea to weaken the power of the consul. Unexpectedly, in the end, I actually shot myself in the foot.
Looking at the meaning of the three, the elders under them may have been drawn and divided by other forces.
As for the other two realms, the consul of the Scarlet Flames is dead, and the consul of Imerson in the east has a grudge against Colin – at the beginning of the White Dew City Rebellion, Colin killed Imerson’s younger brother Ivan Knight.
The elders of the two realms, Ke Lin really has no confidence to win over.
Coupled with the current rumors in Royal Dragon City that Prince Harrison and Princess Judy are not the biological children of Emperor Reinhardt, and the illegitimate children of Emperor Reinhardt who are coveting, perhaps Princess Judy may not be able to inherit smoothly. throne.
Colin thought for a while before putting down the coffee cup and asked:
“Which illegitimate children are the most threatening to Judy right now?”
Consul Sebas thought for a while and said:
“There should be three, Norman, the illegitimate son of the Marquis of Crick, the Minister of War, Reggie, the illegitimate son of Knight Pamela, the commander of the Royal Guard, and Ryan, the illegitimate son of the Earl of Lloyd, the Minister of Finance.
The forces supporting these three are currently the strongest, and they are likely to pose a threat to Princess Judy. ”
“Norman, don’t worry. The Minister of War, Marquis Crick, has already approached me, and he will support Princess Judy’s succession to the throne.” A cold light flashed in Colin’s eyes, “As for the other two… I will also deal with it.”
The three consuls looked at each other for a few times, and without asking what Colin meant by “dealing with it”, they nodded and said:
“Okay, Earl Angelie, then we tentatively plan to hold the Senate meeting in three days. I wonder if this time is appropriate?”
“Can.”
After saying this, Colin stood up, took Princess Judy’s little hand, and left like this.
After leaving the manor, he looked at the coachman and instructed:
“Go to the Chancellor’s Manor.”
“Yes.”
The carriage went all the way west, and after passing through three blocks, it soon arrived at its destination.
Colin led Princess Judy out of the car, and after reporting her identity, she was welcomed into the living room by the housekeeper.
“Lord Count, Your Highness the Princess, please rest for a while. I’ll go and inform the lord.”
“Okay.”
Princess Judy sat on the chair, swaying her feet, looking around in the living room, but soon lost her patience and couldn’t help but said:
“Teacher, how are you going to convince Earl Lloyd to no longer support his **** son for the throne?”
Colin smiled slightly and said:
“I’ll make an offer he can’t refuse.”
Princess Judy blinked suspiciously, probably because she didn’t understand what “conditions that cannot be refused” were. Just as she was about to ask again, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door.
Immediately, a woman in a palace dress walked in slowly.
Her facial features are beautiful and delicate, her eyes are blue and pure, her red hair is tied into a lady’s bun, and her whole body exudes a mature and graceful temperament.
“Aunt Kiria.”
Hearing Princess Judy calling the other party’s aunt, Colin knew that the person in front of her should be Countess Lloyd and the cousin of Emperor Reinhardt.
That’s right, she is still her cousin’s lover and gave birth to an illegitimate child for him…
“Mrs. Keshia.” Colin suppressed the distracting thoughts, got up and greeted.
Keshia first stepped forward and hugged Princess Judy, then bowed to Colin and said with a smile:
“Count Angele, it’s so late, do you have anything to do with my husband?”
Colin frowned slightly and asked, “Is Earl Lloyd inconvenient now?”
“I’m really sorry, Lloyd felt unwell tonight and went to bed early, so…” Keshia’s soft and waxy voice can easily win the sympathy of men, “Angele Count, if you have anything, I can tell you.”
Colin sneered in his heart, he would not believe such nonsense.
It seems that Earl Lloyd is determined to support this bastard’s struggle for the throne.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll come back another day.” After Colin finished speaking, he pulled Princess Judy out.
Keshia personally sent the two to the outside of the manor, and kept apologizing along the way~www.mtlnovel.com~ It seems that she really felt guilty for her husband’s rude behavior.
After getting into the car, Colin instructed the driver:
“Go back to the Phoenix Palace.”
Princess Judy looked at the gloomy Colin and wondered:
“Teacher, aren’t we going to see Pamela Knight?”
“No, let’s go back to rest.”
Colin knew that Knight Pamela, the commander of the Praetorian Guards, was the younger brother of Prince Lehi, and it was even more impossible for this person to give up the fight for the throne.
Earl of Lloyd, Pamela Knight.
Since these two people don’t know the current affairs, don’t blame him for being rude!
