Parliamentary voting begins.
Alive stared intently at the real-time data on the screen.
Although the family's power is immense, this council is not solely under his control, and there are still certain variables.
Fortunately, half an hour later, the votes supporting Ailifer remained in an absolute majority.
28 to 56!
This is the final result!
It didn't exceed twice the limit, thank goodness!
As Ariel watched the final frame of the vote count, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was so close to being ousted from the stage; thankfully, he escaped unscathed.
"Haha, it seems I can continue to be the Lizard King, thanks to everyone..."
"Wait a moment!"
Just as Ariefer was about to give his acceptance speech, a beautiful, mature woman with a gloomy expression stood up.
Monica?
Ailifer frowned. This was a member of the council, backed by a powerful family, and she had always been his mortal enemy. This woman had received the second-highest number of votes after him, and almost became the first female queen of the lizard tribe.
As a political rival, it's not surprising that the other party stepped forward at this time.
He frowned and said, "Monica, what do you mean? The vote results are obvious! I won! I will continue to be king!"
"You won? I doubt it." Monica sneered.
Alfred frowned. "There are 84 seats in the council. Everyone has already voted. Doesn't that mean I won?"
Monica gave a cold laugh and said calmly, "Your Majesty, don't forget that according to the constitution, we also have a merit ticket, which was awarded by you!"
Everyone was slightly taken aback.
That's right. According to the Lizard Clan's constitution, those who are awarded the title of meritorious service also have the right to vote.
As for who deserves the credit, everyone knows perfectly well: it's the eccentric scientist!
Based on the scientific achievements Dr. Strange has made over the years, he is worthy of being called a pioneer of the Reptilians! After creating Reva, Alfred, through Congress, named Dr. Strange a hero of the era.
The title of "Hero of the Era" means that there is only one such hero in each era.
The eccentric scientist is a hero of this era.
Therefore, he also has the right to vote!
After a moment of stunned silence, Ailifer couldn't help but laugh.
The eccentric scientist, that's my son-in-law! Even though my daughter ran away from the wedding this time, he's still family.
With this in mind, he nodded and said, "Alright, then let's invite the doctor to vote!"
“He’s already here!” Monica sneered and snapped her fingers.
Whoosh! The parliament doors opened, and a man in a white coat walked out.
Everyone looked at him with admiration.
The eccentric scientist's achievements are unprecedented and unparalleled in the entire lizard race.
That's awesome!
Even among the people of his tribe, the importance of the eccentric doctor was no less than that of King Elif.
If the eccentric scientist were to participate in the next election for king, he might very well be able to defeat many members of the royal family.
However, everyone knows that the eccentric scientist focuses on scientific research and doesn't get involved in politics.
They had no interest in vying for any power.
It is precisely because of this indifference to fame and fortune that it is all the more admirable.
However, his vote is crucial at this moment.
"Doctor, well, about my daughter, I, Ailifer, feel guilty towards you, but I've already considered you my son-in-law, you know that..."
Alive stepped forward and whispered a few words to the eccentric doctor.
The eccentric doctor quickly waved his hand and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I know what to do!"
Ailifer paused for a moment, then nodded. "That's good!"
Since the other party said so, he was relieved, after all, the two of them had a good relationship in private.
The eccentric scientist stepped forward and pressed the ballot button.
The next second, beep beep!
The original vote count of 28 suddenly jumped and instantly became 29!
The entire room fell silent.
Alive was also stunned.
Damn, so this is what you mean by "you know what you should do"?
? ?
"Hahahaha, Your Majesty, oh no, Elif, the votes have now exceeded half, you've lost! You will be the first king of our race to be successfully impeached during his reign, shouldn't I congratulate you, hahahaha!"
Monica couldn't help but burst into wild laughter, and everyone else erupted in uproar.
No one expected that the eccentric doctor, who had always been on good terms with the Eiffel family, would actually cast a vote of impeachment!
Could it be because of Princess Sherrell?
Yes, the wedding was called off on the spot, and the bride even ran off with a human. Who could tolerate such a disgrace?
It's completely green!
Don't assume that people who do scientific research don't have a temper! Ultimately, men have dignity!
"Doctor, how dare you betray me?" Ailifer was furious. After all, the eccentric doctor was someone his family had personally nurtured and supported.
"You were born into a lowly caste, unworthy even of a name. If it weren't for the support of my Elliv family, would you be where you are today? How dare you betray me?" Elliv's chest heaved with immense rage. He couldn't accept this outcome!
"Your Majesty, you finally admit it. You actually look down on me from the bottom of your heart. You never even considered making me your son-in-law, despite all the contributions, honors, and achievements I have made!" The eccentric doctor couldn't help but sneer.
Ailifer was slightly taken aback, but did not refute, though his expression was very unpleasant.
Everyone else was well aware that, as the eccentric doctor had said, lower castes were not respected among the lizardmen.
If it weren't for the fact that Dr. Strange has achieved his current status and accomplishments, he wouldn't even have the right to speak with the upper castes.
This is the consensus of the entire lizard race, and now that Dr. Strange has made it clear to his face, no one can refute it.
"Doctor, I, Arifer, have wronged you this time, but please withdraw your vote. I can guarantee that I will find you a better noblewoman as your wife in the future. My Arifer family will bestow upon you endless wealth and glory!" Arifer promised the strange doctor in a deep voice.
The eccentric doctor shook his head. "No matter how great my achievements are, it still doesn't change the fact that I am of the lower caste. You still look down on me in your heart, but in fact, I have a name! I don't need anyone's pity, nor do I need any reward. I was born a mountain, not a stream. I, Adam Saxon, am nobler than any of you here!"
Adam Saxon?
Everyone was completely bewildered. When did this strange doctor get a name? You see, in the Lizardmen, the lower castes don't even deserve names. No matter how great their achievements, they are not entitled to have a name. This is a consensus among the entire Lizardmen.
But at this moment, the eccentric scientist actually called out his own name...
Saxons?
However, at that moment, Alifer suddenly realized something, his eyes widened, and he blurted out, "You come from your mother's tribe??"
