Chapter 14: The Lucky Charm
"Ruth is dead." Romero reminded Li Yu, "Otherwise, we don't need to hold an election, and we rely on voting to elect the next owner of Green Field." ”
"It's a shame that Ruth is dead, but luckily for him, he had an heir before he died."
"This is ridiculous!" Vanessa's face was cold, "No one knows what Ruth was thinking when he was alive, especially when it came to the heir, he was still in the prime of life, and he didn't expect misfortune to befall him......
"As for Antonio's previous rhetoric, you have proven that he is a faithless, despicable villain, and his rhetoric is all to coax Ilea and make Ilea believe that he will be on his side, and he can't do anything at all."
The lop-eared beauty is also out of the way now, completely ignoring the lives of her allies.
There is no way, once last night's secret conversation is exposed, Antonio is destined to be ruined, and he is already cold at this time. Although the man was still in the hall, everyone assumed that the man was dead.
And the living cannot be dragged down by the dead under any circumstances.
So even if Antonio was now pale and hollow-eyed, kneeling on the ground and looking pitiful, Vanessa would have to step on it again.
However, Li Yu shook his head and said, "My basis is not what Antonio said last night. ”
"Huh?"
"People always praise Ruth for his loyalty...... I think this loyalty belongs not only to his monarch, but also to his wife and family. If such a man were still alive, he would surely keep his promise to his deceased wife. ”
Blanco's supporters were dumbfounded.
This...... Is that okay?
Forget about pulling the dead out to vote, is that hateful stranger still planning to bully Ruth and can't talk back?
Vanessa hurriedly said, "I said, Ramon, the eldest son of Ruth and Yolanda, was still alive at the time, but the child was later infected with a terrible plague, and the herbalists of the realm and the priests of the Silvermoon Church tried their best, but he still couldn't survive. ”
The lop-eared beauty spoke quickly and with obvious agitation.
On the other hand, Li Yu's expression barely changed, "But the oath is still valid, because the second daughter of Ruth and Yolanda is still alive, and now it's time to fulfill the promise." ”
“…………”
Vanessa felt as if someone had suddenly choked her, and this time it was her turn to say not a word.
Li Yu tied Ruth's honor to Ilea's election, which no one expected, and what was even worse was the timing he chose when he threw out this issue!
Just when Antonio, an important member of the Arias family, broke his oath and was ruined, Antonio's shameful behavior not only ruined all his honor as a nobleman, but also affected the reputation of the entire family behind him to a certain extent.
It no longer matters what Ruth himself thinks, whether he really wants his daughter to succeed him as the next master of Greenfield.
In fact, even if Ruth came back from the dead now, standing here, he had no second choice but to admit that Li Yu was right.
Because the Arias family at this moment can't afford the blow of another oath.
This is not even a conspiracy, but an upright conspiracy!
Vanessa had only one thought left in her mind - who was this guy sacred? Where did Ireya's straw bale get such a powerful advisor?
A cool head, a meticulous analysis, and an unrivaled eloquence all combine to create a monster through and through.
Not to mention the green field, even if it is placed in the western realm, even compared with the top strategists around the big nobles in the royal capital, this foreigner in black clothes is afraid that he will not be able to fall behind, not to mention that he still has those unheard of magical methods.
Such an opponent...... It's horrible.
In fact, it was not only the lop-eared beauty who was in the game, but also the Marquis of Kulun and the others who were watching looked at Li Yu with a hint of strangeness.
But no one knows what they're thinking.
Li Yu's voice did not stop, "Now that you have exercised your right to vote, you have not been able to make a winner between the two candidates, rather than trying to think about where to gather a voter with sufficient weight, it is better to respect Sir Ruth's own opinion."
"After all, a friend of the Arias family also said just now that in addition to Torres, who is far away in the royal capital, the important members of the Arias family have all come to Rock Snow City today, and they are in this banquet hall."
Dias was about to turn green when he heard this, he didn't expect that he could be caught by the guy with a casual hi, and turn into a punch at this fateful moment, and hit all Blanco's supporters in the face.
That bastard's memory is a little too good, right?
Li Yu ignored the angry Dias and continued, "Considering Sir Ruth's long-standing selfless dedication and outstanding contributions to the Arias family, even if he is now deceased, his last wishes should be patiently listened to.
"Miss Ilea never expects you to do her father's will, but she just wants to get back the voting rights that belonged to your father, and that's it."
After Li Yu finished saying the last word, there was silence in the banquet hall.
Ilea looked at the figure on the main seat, looking anxiously awaiting the final verdict, and the girl's nervous ears were about to fight.
The Marquis of Cullen did not make everyone in the banquet hall wait too long this time, and quickly said, "Miss Ilea's request is reasonable, the last vote of the Arias family should belong to the late Sir Ruth, and according to his wishes, this vote will be cast for the only son of him and Yolanda, that is, Miss Ilea."
"In the final vote, Blanco had three votes and Ilea had four. Ilea wins, and she will succeed her father as the next lord of Greenfield. ”
The Marquis of Cullen personally announced the results of the election, and then slowed down his tone and said softly, "Congratulations, Ilea. ”
With the final results announced, the twists and turns of the Arias family's election have finally settled.
However, the guests who witnessed the election had long forgotten about the two parties.
Their eyes were all focused on the black-clad monster.
Because the foreigner in front of him has single-handedly succeeded in turning an otherwise lackluster aristocratic election into a wonderful performance that everyone will never forget.
Even the most discerning spectators can't help but give a thumbs up in their hearts at this time, and they are addicted.
Whether it is Li Yu's previous miraculous means of recording and repeating a person's voice, or the later wonderful debate with a crowd of enemies, clear and meticulous, any one of them can be talked about for a long time.
It was as if he were a skilled assassin, quietly lurking in the crowd at the beginning of the election.
Quietly observing the opponent, looking for flaws, until the opportunity came, he suddenly burst out and stabbed the beautiful gem dagger in his hand into the heart of the target accurately!
The whole set of moves was clean and neat, leaving no chance for the opponent to resist.
Cold-blooded and elegant, it is full of endless aftertaste.
Miss Rabbit was completely stunned at this point, and if you asked her who the future head of the Arias family would be before today, she would tell you confidently that it was her.
That's right, until the election began, Elia always felt that she had won, and the wyvern was riding her face, how could she lose?
The end result proved that she was right, but the process was completely different from what she had envisioned.
In a trance, Miss Rabbit remembered last night, a guy with a very random name, and called her to find her supporters to confirm the vote again.
In addition to asking her about the attitudes of the people living on this continent towards the infidels, and telling her that they must be sworn in the name of their ancestors and gods.
Finally, the man slipped a small, strangely heavy, rectangular mirror into her handbag.
When she asked the man what it was, he explained to her, "This is a kind of lucky talisman from my hometown, don't take it out when you put it in, and don't touch it casually, otherwise it may not work." ”
