Working Prophet

Marquis Cullen summoned everyone to the banquet hall.

The servants and maids had removed the dining table and the dishes on it, and hung a purple flag embroidered with the Figuerola family coat of arms on the west stone wall.

Marquis Cullen sat on the main seat facing the gate, and on his left side was the financial officer of Rock Snow City, Goldfinger Romero from the Campos family.

Sir Romero arrived at the Marquis's Mansion after the dinner. He originally came to find the Marquis of Cullen to handle some government affairs in Yanxue City, but at the request of Ilea, he stayed with him as a witness for the election.

On the right hand side of the Marquis Cullen is a young man who looks lazy. He has a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes like a woman, and there is always an elusive smile on the corner of his mouth, which seems to be mocking, but also seems pure. Just out of nature.

In short, his smile gave people a subtle feeling that he was a little unworthy of being spanked, but if he really wanted to use his hands, the spanker would wonder if he had misunderstood something.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing about him is his short red hair, which is as hot and bright as a flame. Under the short hair, two small round ears are looming.

And this also means that the blood of the Vespasian family flows through his body, he is a great pioneer, conqueror, and descendant of the first emperor of the empire, Alexandro the Angry Lion.

This member of the royal family has been a guest at the Marquis's Mansion in Yanxue City recently. Hearing that there is something lively to watch, he ran here with great interest without being invited.

The eight people in the center of the hall are all from the Arias family, including today's two protagonists and the six core members with voting rights.

Except for Miss Rabbit, Li Yu has never seen any of these people, and no one around him is willing to talk to him, let alone repeat the characters and mission backgrounds to the players tirelessly like the NPCs in the game.

Li Yu could only guess by himself. He first identified Marquis Cullen from his seat.

The latter is a short man with thin body and serious face, with a pair of short triangular ears on the top of his head, a small tuft of hair on the tip of the ears, and amber pupils.

When Li Yu first saw the coat of arms of the Figuerola family, he thought it was a cat embroidered on it. It was not until he saw the Marquis of Cullen himself that he realized that it was not a cat, but a lynx.

Although lynxes look similar to cats in appearance, they are much larger in size. They can already be regarded as medium-sized hunters in nature, and they can even hunt young deer.

Seeing that most of the people had arrived, Marquis Cullen nodded to his steward.

The latter rang a small bell, and with three long tones, the originally noisy banquet hall soon fell silent.

The old manager of the Marquis Mansion, who had gray hair on his temples and looked very old, but whose back was still straight, coughed slightly and said.

"At the request of the Arias family, the Lord Marquis will preside over the election of the new lord of the green field here today. This election adheres to the principle of fairness and justice, and Sir Leo, Sir Romero and all the lords present are invited to be notarized together. people.

"Once the result is released, and there is no definite evidence to prove that one party has cheated, both candidates should accept the result and regard it as the final and unique result, and there will be no further objections in the future."

After speaking, the old manager looked at the siblings Ilea and Blanco. Seeing that both parties nodded in agreement, he bowed slightly and stepped aside.

Then Ilea's aunt was the first to speak, and she bowed to the first three people, "Dear Marquis, Sir Leo, Sir Romero, I am Alisa from Green Field, on behalf of the Arias family, I would like to extend my sincere respect to you Pay your respects.

"Before the election begins, I must first thank the Marquis for your warm hospitality in the mansion these past few days, and for taking time out of the busy government affairs to listen to our requests and help us deal with the Arias family. Your kindness and generosity are unknown throughout the West.

"No matter who the next owner of the green field is, he will continue to abide by the sacred oath made by the family ancestors, be loyal to you, and become the sharp blade and shield in your hands."

Marquis Cullen nodded slightly when he heard the words, "The loyalty of the Arias family has passed the test of time. As early as 900 years ago, your ancestors followed my ancestors to fight everywhere, and the descendants of the Arias family are still fighting for me today." , fight for the Figuerola family, and help me protect the western border of the empire.

"Your loyalty is my greatest wealth. I also regard you as my family. The loss of Ruth made me feel so sad that I couldn't sleep at night. As his lord, I should help his descendants to properly handle his funeral. This is an act of duty, and there is no need to thank you."

Alisa saluted again, and then turned her eyes to the Arias family members aside.

"Before starting the election, I would like to remind you again that Miss Ilea is my brother's second daughter, the only surviving son of Ruth and his first wife, Yolanda.

"Yolanda died of illness in the sixth year after giving birth to Ilea. Ruth and Yolanda had always been in love. He swore in front of his dead wife's grave that their children would inherit his fief in the future. Everyone in Lvye knows about it, and many of you were there that day, so personally, I don’t think there is any doubt about the ownership of Lvye’s inheritance rights.”

Before she finished speaking, a chuckle sounded from the side.

"At that time, Russ and Yolanda's eldest son Ramon was still alive. The heir in this agreement should refer to Ramon, not Ilea."

The one who spoke was also a woman, wearing a long green dress with an open collar, which perfectly outlined the curves of her body, and the large white patch on her chest was even more dazzling.

There are also a pair of long ears on the top of her head, but they are gray and do not stand up, but hang down to both sides.

In terms of looks alone, she is undoubtedly beautiful.

Except for her slightly thin lips that make her look a little bit mean, she can hardly find any other faults, and she doesn't look much older than Ilea, but considering the long lifespan of orcs compared to humans, Li Yu also It's not easy to guess her age.

She should be the stepmother Vanessa that Miss Rabbit mentioned.

After a pause, the beautiful woman with lop ears continued, "In fact, after Ramon died of the epidemic, Russ never mentioned the agreement of the year, and even sent Ilea to the Silver Moon Goddess last year. Temple, I believe everyone sitting here knows the purpose of such an arrangement, let alone she is still a woman."

"What's wrong with women? We are not those Wilders. The laws of the empire also recognize women's inheritance rights." Alisa retorted.

"That's right, but according to the consistent tradition of Bratis Continent, women's line of succession will be ranked after all male heirs, and it just so happens that there is a direct male heir of Russ present today, so I directly Let’s just say it…the next owner of Green Field should be my son Blanco.”

As soon as the election began, there was a faint smell of gunpowder. Supporters on both sides were tit for tat and refused to give in.

Li Yu glanced at Ilea. Miss Rabbit was still calm at the moment. She wanted to speak a few times but held back. This strategy was undoubtedly correct.

Ilea herself is not eloquent. If she really wants to join the debate, if she is not careful, her opponent will catch the flaws in her words and attack her head-on. Instead, it is better to let her supporters speak out for her, and she can still maintain her demeanor and elegance .

At least it looks pretty bluffing.

However, her two tight ears still betrayed her true psychology. Compared with the elders in the family, she was still a little too young.

Fortunately, her opponent was worse than her. Blanco was just a child. His height barely reached his mother's waist, and he secretly grabbed his mother's skirt with one hand. Anyone could see the tension in his heart at the moment.
