Chapter 25 The Seven Electors

Feeling Rhine's resentful gaze, Lin En smiled at him.

Seeing that everyone treated this as just a minor incident, he lowered his head and continued to fight with the grilled sausages on the plate.

After a moment, someone started talking to Yvesette about business.

"Your Highness, Duke Tyrus has rejected your invitation again. Please see..."

Duke Tyreus?

Lynn felt that the name seemed familiar.

After careful recollection, I remembered that this person seemed to be a duke of the Saint Laurent Empire in the original book, and also served as the governor of the southern province.

In addition, he was also a distinguished Elector.

Although in modern times when imperial power was strong, the electoral system gradually weakened.

However, the right to speak in the king selection ceremony should not be underestimated.

In total, there are seven electors.

In addition to the four secular electors, there are also three diocesan electors, who are concurrently the archbishops of the three major churches in the Saint Laurent Empire.

Therefore, before the start of each generation of royal selection, the princes who aspire to ascend the throne will try to get along well with these old guys.

Once a prince obtains the support of more than four electors, he basically has secured the throne.

It seems that Ivisette, who is currently outnumbered, is a little anxious and doesn't want to fall too far behind others.

Recalling the plot about Wang Xuan in the original novel, Lin En shook his head.

Saint Laurent VI had nine children in total, most of whom were not good people.

In order to win the royal election, they fought from beginning to end and schemed against each other, until finally the eldest princess Hillelina had the last laugh with the help of the male protagonist.

Generally speaking, after winning the royal election, the winner will temporarily serve as regent, managing the imperial government and waiting to officially ascend the throne.

As for Yves St. Lynn, all I can say is wish her good luck.

She has neither the protagonist halo of Hillina nor the support of a powerful family.

Aside from being seen as an evil force, it can't even win the favor of others.

This is tantamount to sentencing her to death.

After all, if one wants to become an emperor, public opinion is a very important factor.

Of course, this public opinion does not refer to the common people, but to the nobles who are like termites entrenched in the roots of the empire and sucking its blood and marrow.

Lynn shook her head.

Not interested in politics or anything like that, he turned his attention back to his plate.

The sausages were really delicious.

Lin En was so hungry that he ate with a grunt of food until his mouth was full of oil.

At this moment, a voice full of admiration and curiosity suddenly came from the side: "I didn't expect you could make that arrogant guy so angry. You are really amazing."

Hearing this, Lynn looked up and saw a blond boy sitting next to him.

The boy looked a lot like Rhine, but he didn't have Rhine's arrogance. Instead, he looked a little silly.

"Who are you?"

Lynn touched the oil on her mouth.

"My name is Graya Augusta, I'm sorry to have caused you trouble."

The boy named Graya scratched his head.

Lynn nodded, then pointed to the food on her plate and said, "Do you want sausage?"

"No, thank you."

Graya felt warm in her heart and was about to reject his kindness.

Before he could even finish his sentence, he watched helplessly as this guy gleefully forked the untouched grilled sausage from his plate.

Damn it.

Graya finally felt what his brother had just felt.

What a despicable person! He felt a little indignant.

Obviously, I also like eating sausages.

So Graya changed his mind and decided to give the man a taste of his own medicine.

He pointed to his plate and said, "So you want some lamb chops?"

Graya had been planning to imitate Lin En's behavior and act like a jerk when he refused, so that they would be even.

Unexpectedly, this guy happily took the only lamb chop left on his plate with his fork.

"Eat!" He mumbled, "You are so nice."

Graya's eyes widened, as if he had not expected such an operation to happen.

Looking at his empty plate, he was so angry that he wanted to slam the table.

But before Graya could take action, he suddenly felt the surroundings become quiet.

He subconsciously raised his head and found that the distinguished prince sitting in the main seat had been looking at him with calm and indifferent eyes at some point.

Graya was almost frightened to death at that time.

Lynn hurt me!

He looked like a frightened quail, with his head bowed, and said, "Your Highness?"

"You seem to have something to say?"

Yvesette said calmly.

"No, no, Your Highness."

Graya was about to cry.

"No, you do." Iviste's arrogance was revealed again. "Since you have something to say, it means that you have your own unique insights on how to deal with these more than 300 civilians."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"In that case, I'll leave this matter to you. I want to see the results within three days."

Yvesette's words fell lightly.

But it hit Graya's heart like a heavy weight! He was completely dumbfounded.

Although as the second son of Baron Augusta, he was considered half a young master in the manor, but with Rhine who was far superior to him in both strength and aura, Graya would never have the chance to inherit the title in his lifetime.

His greatest hope in this life was to build a plantation in the South, marry a noble lady, and live a peaceful and stable life.

Although my father and brother swore allegiance to that prince, it actually had little to do with Graya.

He just wandered around the manor and Orne city every day, wasting his time.

After all, no one would really expect anything from him.

But at this moment, the prince suddenly threw such an important task on his head.

Graya was stunned.

Oh? I'm going?

Just when he was feeling at a loss, he suddenly heard a noise coming from beside him.

Graya glanced at him out of the corner of his eye.

Sure enough, Lin En's grandson was lowering his head, his whole body trembling as he tried to hold back his laughter.

"By the way, you can bring Lin En with you to assist you as your deputy. If things go wrong, you should know the consequences."

Yvesette called again.

Hearing this, Lin En's smile froze on his face.

He looked up with a grim expression.

This time it was Graya's turn to hold back his laughter.

It turns out that a smile never disappears, it just moves from one person's face to another.

"Let's go."

After breakfast, Rhine went straight to Lynn.

He pointed to the door with a cold expression, motioning for Lynn to follow him.

In fact, he had already begun to imagine in his mind how he would teach this hateful guy a lesson.

The "cellar" is not just a place to store sundries as it appears on the surface. It is located deeper than an underground prison.

Rhine had been there several times and was deeply shocked.

To put it simply, it is the storage room where Ivester collects various extraordinary items and ancient spells, and there are all kinds of strange and weird things in it.

There are even quite a few dangerous things with extremely high sequence levels.

It is said that once released, it can easily become a natural disaster that sweeps across the city.

Fortunately, most of the things inside were perfectly contained, thanks to the contribution of His Highness.

Her power is so terrifying that she can even suppress those terrible ancient curses.

After entering the cellar, Rhine is going to rely on the properties of an ancient cursed object to teach this kid a lesson and let him know who is the boss of this manor.

Thinking of this, Rhine sneered.

Seeing this, Graya looked at Lin En with some sympathy: "We will talk about what His Highness told you to do after you come out. Also, I wish you good luck."

There aren't many people of my age in the manor, and even fewer who I can talk to.

He still hoped that Lin En could stay here safely.

After all, he seems to be a very interesting guy.

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Graya thought silently.
