81 – Scene 081# vote

*

“I am ready.”

In front of us after the meal, the president of the Oriental Pearl, Zhang Chen, brought a pottery with an antique painting on it.

What was in there was a familiar snack.

“I will show you a demonstration. It’s simple to use. Just think of what you want out of O or X and infuse magic into this magical cookie. Then, if you break the cookie like this… .”

shred.

A note came out from among the broken cookies. When Jiang Chen opened the note, he saw a clear letter with an X written on it.

“All you have to do is vote this way. I will give you one snack per person.”

It was said to be a magic cookie, but it was a fortune cookie. Although the difference was that the content was a ballot paper, not today’s fortune.

“Well! Wonderful sweets! Eww?!”

As if Leon was curious, he took the cookie with his big hand and broke it.

“It’s annoying, but can’t we just do it roughly?”

Colin yawned and accepted the snack.

“Iknow, right. Even one such thing would have an obvious result.”

Laura grunted and accepted the snack.

“Thanks for the inspiration.”

Patrick smiled and accepted the cookie.

“… … .”

Mondry accepted the cookie without saying anything.

“Thank you.”

Odell politely accepted the cookie.

“Huh… .”

And finally, Bella got the sweets.

She glanced at me and immediately imbued the cookie with magic.

After all, the result is a fixed vote.

No one will be on my side except for Bella.

Right away, the eyes of the Chilsungs looking at me were not good.

Eyes filled with contempt, suspicion, and distrust.

It must be because the remarks made a while ago touched their planting. so… . I don’t know why you need to vote.

I glanced at Odell, the person who proposed the vote.

Odell sits with a solemn face.

I couldn’t quite figure out what he was thinking.

It dawned on me that he was a tricky opponent for Tristan.

Odell, head of the Ryumin family and Chancellor of the Empire.

Thanks to his highly popular and competent performance, the imperial family was able to keep the Ruelberta family in check.

If there was Arthur in Ruelberta, there was Odell in the imperial family.

In the original story, Arthur was forced to hesitate for a while after being killed by Tristan because Odell was competent.

For that reason, Odell was also a target that Tristan must eliminate.

Of course, Odell was not taken lightly either.

It was because he did not give in to the assassination threat of the Luelberta family and kept his convictions and worked hard for the imperial family.

But Tristan is a genius of evil.

In the end, even Odell succeeds in getting rid of it.

‘Of course I’m not going to use the mean methods Tristan did, but… .’

I was afraid that Odell would interfere with my plans.

Because what Odell was doing right now was definitely a variable.

Depending on how he turns out, I have to think about how to deal with it too.

Odell was also a talent I didn’t want to lose, so I hope he comes out cooperatively… .

As I was drinking tea while thinking about that, all Chilsung’s votes were over.

Zhang Chen gathered the magical sweets and placed them in a pottery.

“Then let the counting begin. Votes in favor of the Ruelberta family entering Chilseong are marked with an O. Votes against it are marked with an X. Then first.”

shred.

“This is X.”

Zhang Chen again took out a cookie from the pottery and cut it into pieces.

shred.

“This is X.”

I resisted the yawning.

shred.

“It is O.”

Well. It seems that Bella’s vote has finally come out.

This was the reaction everyone expected.

The problem was after that.

shred.

“Another O.”

Well?

One more O?

Laura was annoyed.

“Sigh… . I know who one is, but who the hell is the other?”

“ah… . Could that be me?”

“I beg your pardon?”

Colin, the head of the Leash Jet, said with a yawn.

“I was bored so I took pictures of anything. O might have come out.”

“Ah really! Colin! There’s nothing else to be bothered about… ! Ahhh… … . I shouldn’t talk.”

Laura suppressed her temper.

yes. Colin made a mistake, but he couldn’t overturn the result.

Counting continued.

shred.

“This is X.”

The table came out as expected.

Now there are 2 tickets left.

There will be no surprises.

shred.

Zhang Qian, who was splitting the next snack and checking the note, hesitated.

Oh, please… .

“… It is O.”

“Nonsense!”

Laura finally got up from her seat.

The second may have been a mistake, but the third is a different story.

It means someone supported me.

“Who the hell is this time?!”

“Well! This body voted for the Count!”

“Leon?!”

An unexpected man came out.

“Are you insane?”

“Well! I am perfectly sane!”

“Then why!?”

“Coming to think of it, the Count was right! This is a unique opportunity to raise our Imperial Army! If the Count enters Chilseong, even His Majesty, who has been passive about increasing armaments, will have no choice but to give a positive answer!”

indeed… . I never thought Leon would have thought of this.

I thought he was simply a strong man, but he is also a general who commands the Imperial Army.

As far as the military aspect is concerned, the mind is soaring. Even so, I didn’t think it would show such a calculated side.

“count! If you become Chilsung, why don’t you go with me to ask His Majesty for armaments!”

“I refuse that.”

“Ha ha ha! You’re a tougher man than you look!”

No, I think it’s right to be strong.

Laura was glaring at me to death while Leon chuckled.

It’s the face that asks me if I’ve done anything wrong. I didn’t do anything but… .

When this incident happened, the atmosphere of the remaining Chilsungs was unusual.

Bella had a puzzled look on her face, and Mondri’s expression was dark.

Patrick watched the situation as if it were interesting, Colin was just yawning, and Odell… .

“Now there is only one vote left.”

As Odell said, the situation is now 3:3.

The remaining table will show the result.

“Then let me check the last table… .”

shred.

Zhang Chen, the president, split the last cookie with trembling hands.

Seeing the contents of the note, he held his breath.

Then, his mouth slowly opened.

“… … It is O.”

The unexpected happened.

“It’s decided.”

Odell said calmly with a face.

It was only after seeing that calm face that I thought I would know who threw the last O.

But… . why?

It was the same with Laura who couldn’t understand the result.

“This is invalid! It’s invalid! Vote again right now! Colin! Don’t shoot this time, vote straight. If you do-“

“Well! That’s no way! Accept the results, Laura!”

“Don’t be ridiculous! Colin made a mistake!”

Laura looked at Colin with a desperate face, but the person in question seemed unmoved.

Rather, he just cut it off.

“Oh, Laura. don’t look at me like that It’s annoying to vote again.”

“Colin!”

Colin stood up, ignoring Laura’s cries.

“Princess. I finished eating, so can we go now? I want to go home and sleep.”

“uh… … ? yes. Do by that way.”

“thank you. Then I’m fine.”

Guess who isn’t from the Richjet family. Colin came and went like the wind.

Originally, he thought it was because he was such a man, but Laura’s face flushed red at the thought of being ignored.

And starting with Colin’s departure, the other Chilsungs rose one by one.

“Then, princess, and the chairman. I will go in first.”

“I wake up too. I can’t even sit for a long time because I’m old.”

Mondri and Odell greeted us, put on their coats, and left.

The Seven Stars Association is over.

Suddenly, I became a member of Chilsung.

I don’t know how many people can fully acknowledge the result, but the majority has already agreed.

Anything more would have been a waste of time, so the reconciliation meeting flowed into an atmosphere where this ended.

“Ugh! I can’t admit it! If Count Ruelberta comes to the next Seven Star Festival, I will not participate!”

“Well! Then you don’t have to change your name to Eight Stars! I liked Chilsung because it was a cool name, but it’s a relief!”

“Leon! you’ve been… !”

Laura, who would not have been able to admit this result the most, exited with a quarrel with Leon, as if there was nothing special to do.

All that was left was me, Bella, and Patrick.

Patrick clapped and said.

“Congratulations. Count.”

“Well.”

“hahahaha… . I didn’t expect that the Count would really become a member of our Chilsung.”

Seeing my face, Patrick murmured.

“but… . Of course, the Count must have expected this result.”

Yes?

“I was honestly surprised. With such a calm face, I never thought he would have captured more than half of Chilsung from behind.”

did i do nothing?

“I will admit what I have to admit. The Count always had a plan. I never expected to come prepared so thoroughly. I respect that thorough preparation.”

uh… … . Well… … . Thank you, but… .

I had no choice but to answer as Tristan would have.

“I just need to know.”

“But that is that and this is that. Lady Gong.”

“Yes?”

Before Bella could ask what it was, Patrick grabbed her hand.

It was an instant thing.

Before Blanche could stop it, Patrick kissed Bella on the back of her hand.

“… … !”

“It is a beautiful hand. See you next time.”

Despite all that, Patrick doesn’t seem to have any intention of giving up.

Rather, it seems to have ignited his fighting spirit.

Patrick went out triumphantly.

And… The remaining Bella was hardened on the spot.

If you look closely, you can see chicken skin growing on her arm.

I’m just going to give you goosebumps.

Bella tried to look slightly pitiful, but her mouth opened heavily.

“count… .”

“… ?”

“Can I ask for one more charge?”

I snorted and told her.

“It sounds like nothing.”
