Chapter 285: Behind-the-Scenes Deals (Second Update, Asking for Votes)

The reason for this is that it is not the first time, because there are too many things in it that violate the tradition of the lords of the Byron Union to be knighted, and it is necessary to gather the eight academicians of the heraldic court to make a common ruling.

However, the Heraldic Academy usually does not have so many affairs, and the eight academicians are all in their own territory in the south and north of the world, and they need to send someone to invite them.

Well, this back and forth, it's three or four months.

What's even more tragic is that on the way to Valesta for the Heraldic Academy of the Holt family, the old man chatted about juvenile madness, but he immediately had a stroke and fell down the road forever.

No way.

The matter of the Baron of Eternal Night can only be thrown away temporarily, and the Holt family heraldic academy will be re-elected first.

This election lasted another three months, and the result was just done here, and Kaufman, a member of the Heraldic Academy of the Lancelot family, was seriously ill due to old age and decrepitude.

This is the chief academician of the Heraldic Academy, and this time it is the lord of the Lancelot royal family, and he is the main one.

No way, just wait.

A while ago, Academician Coleman's body finally recovered almost, and several other academicians who had been idle in Valesta for nearly half a year were convened to formally convene the dean's meeting to discuss the issue of Baron Eternal Night.

Because three academicians were in favor, three were opposed, and two abstained.

Those who agree believe that a baron is irrelevant, and the Byron Alliance does not need to fulfill any obligations, on the contrary, the Andes and the Andes Mountains, which have been hanging outside the Byron Alliance, will be brought under their own power, which is a task that their ancestors have not completed, even if it is a nominal bond, it is worth it, and there will be a chance to slowly figure it out in the future,

Whether there are benefits in this from the Lancelot royal family and the Eternal Night Army, or their own selfishness, only they know.

The three academicians who held this opinion were from the Strelch, Black, and Holt families.

Needless to say, the Straggy family is the family of Princess Regent's mother, and the current ruler is his own grandfather, her staunchest supporter, who is firmly supportive of most of the decisions she makes.

The Harrison family and the Holt family, this one-sided attitude is related to Angie Bena, or more precisely, the support of the Witch Society standing behind her, the two families are the rulers of the North and South Islands of the Twin Peninsula, respectively.

Now it has basically become the power of the Witches' Secret Society, especially the Harrison family, it is said that the current lord is an awakened sorceress herself, although she did not announce that she has joined the Witches' Secret Society, but her mother and teacher are all out-and-out witches, and her own failure to join is just the last layer of face left.

The Eternal Night Warlord has maintained this ambiguous attitude with the Witch Society from the beginning, and the Witch Society has maintained a covetousness for them from the beginning to the end, and the stronger the Eternal Night Warlord shows his stamina, the stronger this covetousness will be.

has long been through Angie Bena, either explicitly or covertly, to the Eternal Night Army, and even has the intention of matching Sean and Angie Bena.

This is the usual trick of the witch secret society, through this kind of marriage infiltration, slowly control a family, or even a military leader.

The Eternal Night Warlord's attitude in this regard has always been ambiguous, after all, there are too many secrets in their own house, especially the energy reaction room, once exposed in front of the witch's secret meeting, the attraction to them will be fatal, and it is easy to make the other party go to the extreme of unscrupulous means.

In any case, now is the time when the Witch Secret Society is trying to tie up the Eternal Night Leader, and in such a small matter that benefits and does not cost anything, it is natural that the Eternal Night Commander will be sold well.

On the contrary, Kaufman, a member of the heraldic academy of the Lancelot family, did not support the princess regent, but chose to abstain.

This situation occurred both unexpectedly and reasonably unexpectedly for Sophia.

The Lancelot royal family is not necessarily full of Sophia's supporters.

In fact, the Lancelot royal family is now very polarized.

has already recognized the ability of Princess Regent Sophie, and thinks that there is no problem with the current pattern, under her strong leadership, the voice of the Lancelot royal family will become bigger and bigger, and she is not the kind of greedy person, especially when it comes to the Lancelot royal family, every time she eats meat in front, she does not forget to take them to drink soup in the back.

There are also staunch opponents, arguing that the situation in the Byron Union is stabilizing, Prince Laurie is approaching adulthood, and the princess regent should return to power.

The composition of opponents is very mixed, both traditional and stubborn, who believe that it is an insult to themselves and to the Lancelot royal family to let a woman in power, especially a woman the age of her granddaughter, dictate to yourself.

There are also ill-intentioned people, the princess regent is too strong, and they don't have a chance to do it, only to oust her from power and support the young prince to ascend to the throne, their opportunity will naturally come.

There are also some interests that have been touched by the princess regent, who hold a grudge against her and deliberately take revenge.

It's really hard to guess which one Kaufman is, this is an old fox, two-faced and three-stabbed, seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts, it has long become an instinct of him, even if he cuts his heart open, he may not be able to find his true thoughts.

The princess regent really can't do anything about him, after all, after meeting, she still has to call her uncle and grandfather honestly, he is now at the age of civil engineering, if there is a conflict, she can't afford this kind of crime.

Another neutral is the Black family.

This family not only has a neutral attitude in this matter, but also in most matters of the Byron Alliance, and is the family with the weakest sense of existence.

This is directly related to the geographical environment where their family is located, who makes the Huayu Plateau where they are located hang alone, food cannot be delivered, and other materials cannot be transported, most of the time they are self-sufficient, not impatient.

Even if the Odin orcs come in, they probably have this attitude, anyway, they have natural dangers to defend, and the big deal is that they retreat back to the Huayu Plateau and become the world of their own.

However, the more people lack something, the more they desire something, and it becomes a power, which is almost the same.

What the Black family craves most is external influence, but the problem is that there are no hole cards, so they can only keep holding it when they can do it, waiting for you to take the initiative to come to the door.

When the time comes, don't pay a price, but don't want to get this ticket in his hand.

The opposing ones were the Kingsleys, the Feron and the Cummins.

The reason they gave was that the canonization of the princess regent was completely inconsistent with the process, violated the laws that had been enforced by the Byron Alliance for hundreds of years, and was destroying the foundation of the Byron Alliance.

The reason is high-sounding, but the real reason is well known.

Needless to say, the Faeron family is the old enemy of the Andes, especially the recent rumors that there was the shadow of the Eternal Night Army behind the slave rebel army, and Dicklon, one of the two leading figures, has been openly taken back to his territory by the Eternal Night Army Leader, which naturally attracted the hatred of countless Lord and nobles of the Manyu Army, including this member of the Heraldic Academy.

His territory was plagued by the slave rebels, and most of his family died in the turmoil, forcing him to stay in Valesta to hide from the limelight, and the hatred for the slave rebels was naturally transferred to the Eternal Night Commander, how could it be possible to let the Eternal Night Commander get his way?

The heraldic court has always claimed to be open and fair to the outside world, but in fact, it depends not only on the opinion of its own territory, but also on its own personal preferences, and there is a great deal of selfishness.

A situation like the one in front of me that fights for a baron's scalp is definitely the first case of a precedent.

After all, although Sean is seeking a little baron, the power in his hands, let alone a baron, even a real power earl has no way to measure, after all, there is a race standing behind him.

If it is canonized by an ordinary baron, I am afraid that he will not even have the qualifications to let him take a look.

As for the Kingsley family, it is because of Sir Kleist's revelations, which made them attach great importance to the Eternal Night Commander from top to bottom, and realized the threat they bringed, so naturally they could not be allowed to enter the Byron Alliance so easily.

The Cummins family is a typical mother with milk, and recently because of the purchase of a boat, they have been in a hot fight with the Kingsley family, and they naturally need to help in such small matters.

This morning, according to the usual practice, eight old academicians who are enough to be five hundred years old together gathered again in the heraldic academy to start a new round of discussions, but the result was still unhappy, and everyone was very insistent on their views and had no intention of wavering.

As Chief Academician Kaufman opened his somewhat cloudy eyes and said: "It's not early, you guys have been busy all day, let's stop here today, we'll discuss it tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, I still have some things, let's go first. ”

"My lords, we'll see you tomorrow. ”

"See you tomorrow. ”

"Lord Kaufman, can you talk in private?" Johannes, an academician of the Heraldic Academy from the Kingsley family, walked two steps quickly and caught up with the chief academician.

The Chief Academician glanced at Johannes up and down, nodded with a smile, and said, "Yes, if you don't dislike it, you can use my carriage to send the adults back." ”

"Then there's work. Johannes laughed.

"Good car. Getting into Kaufman's carriage, Johannes couldn't help but let out a heartfelt admiration.

In terms of appearance, Kaufman's carriage is not very impressive, at least it is not at the same grade as Johannes's carriage inlaid with gold and silver, and extremely gorgeous.

But when I got inside, Johannes' carriage dropped several grades, whether it was wood or fabric, back or workmanship, it was not simple, wafting with a breathtaking wood fragrance, smelling for a long time, not only could not be bored, but refreshed, and the spirit became full.

The whole carriage was actually made of ambergris, this unique wood was not produced in Ashaan, it was transported from the overseas island, it is said that it is used as furniture, used all year round, has the magical effect of prolonging life, is very popular among the lords and nobles, is no longer a difficult problem, many times it is not a problem that money can not buy.

Johannes knew the goods because he also had a piece of furniture made of ambergris, but it was just a bed, which was not on the same level as it.

Since it can be used as a carriage, it is obvious that there is no shortage of ambergris, and there are complete sets of furniture made of it at home, so it is possible.

The interior is even warmer than spring. It is completely different from the cold outside, and when you run, it is flat and steady, and you can't feel it moving at all.

However, compared to the lavishness of ambergris as a carriage, these are nothing.

What does it mean to be understated luxury?

It's called low-key luxury.

Compared with others, he is a nouveau riche in the countryside, and he can't wait to put money on his face, no wonder he is looked down upon by others.

Kaufman smiled, didn't talk to him on this issue, didn't know whether he didn't want to show off, or simply thought that the issue was not worth mentioning, and went straight to the point: "I don't know what adults want to talk about?"

"I just want to discuss the matter of the canonization of the baron by Her Royal Highness Princess Sophia in private with my lordship, and it is not a way to continue to be entangled endlessly. Johannes is also an old fritter who doesn't keep his hands, so naturally he won't throw out his thoughts easily, but instinctively play official.

But this time it was obvious that he chose the wrong object, when it came to playing officially, Kaufman was also a good player, and said with a smile: "We have been discussing this problem recently, and I believe that a solution will be found, if Lord Johannes has any good ideas, I will put it forward tomorrow and let everyone discuss it together, and it makes no sense to talk to me alone." ”

"Why is it meaningless? Lord Kaufman is the chief academician, as long as you are willing to nod, you can definitely keep out those barbarians from the wilderness, if such people can become nobles, it is the greatest mockery of the entire Byron Alliance. ”

As he spoke, Johannes' emotions moved a little, and he waved his arms and said with righteous indignation.

"Things are not that simple, our heraldic academy does have the right to review whether a family has become a nobleman or promoted, but that's all, we don't have the right of veto, we can only go back and let the lord re-improve, not to mention, Her Royal Highness the princess canonized this time is a knight and baron loyal to him, and there are indeed big problems in the ceremony, but the final decision is still in the hands of His Royal Highness, is it possible that you want to be on the same line with Her Royal Highness because of this matter?" One thing must be remembered, our power is given by the lords. ”

This is the reason why it was previously said that the rights of the House of Heraldry were small.

They exist to record and correct mistakes, but they do not have the right of veto.

It's rare to talk about it like this, more often than not, it's the Grand Dukes who make the decision, and they honestly go through the formalities and take care of the records.

If you can't get along with your own rights-giver, you can't get along with yourself, who knows if you annoy them, will you take your rights back directly!

"Lord Kaufman is too worried, even if he wants to depose our heraldic court, it is not something that Her Royal Highness can do by speaking alone, at least our Kingsley family will not agree to this. Johannes said confidently, "Disobedience is disobedience, Her Royal Highness the princess can't think of covering the sky with one hand." ”

"This matter also needs to be considered in the long run, and in the long run. Kaufman always looked inscrutable, refusing to nod easily.

Since Johannes came to the door alone, he was naturally fully mentally prepared, pushed a brocade box in front of Kaufman, and said, "Naturally, we won't trouble the Chief Dean in vain, this is a small gift we have prepared, and it is not a tribute." ”

Kaufman didn't even look at it, he still shook his head and said: "It's not a problem of this, Her Royal Highness the princess's face must be saved!"

"Why don't you open it and take a look?" Johannes was full of confidence in the gifts he gave out, everyone was a thousand-year-old fox, what else did he play and chat, if he was really so pure, with his small collar alone, there was no way to support him to play low-key luxury.
