Volume 215: Chapter 214 Chapter Voting Results

The Sixth Princess?!

When they heard this name, the ministers present, and even Yves, looked at Xizel with surprise.

Craig was even more incredulous.

On the contrary, Yulina herself did not seem particularly surprised. After exchanging a glance with César, both of them looked away in tacit understanding.

Since she entered Ouroboros, Yulina actually had no great desire for the throne.

It's not just about knowing that Yves's condition is no longer serious, but more importantly... there are now extremely powerful laws of the world flowing in Yulina's body.

In a sense, Yulina is now the maker of the laws of the world.

Since he is the one who makes the laws, he should naturally remain neutral to a certain extent. It is not quite appropriate for him to inherit the throne now.

The main hall fell into a brief silence, and countless eyes turned to the young man. The second prince's brain seemed to be in a state of paralysis.

"Cesare... do you know what you just said?"

It was not until a long time later that he finally came to his senses and looked at Cesar in disbelief.

"You support the Sixth Princess...?"

The second prince had originally thought that once Caesar publicly supported the third princess, he would be able to use the topic of "former fiancée" to his advantage.

Although it would not affect César's final decision, it could at least cause some of the ministers present to waver in their thinking.

But now, this guy Xizel said that the person he supports is the Sixth Princess?

Xizel ignored the Second Prince and continued to speak respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Sixth Princess has performed very well since the King Selection Ceremony, and the results of the diplomatic negotiations since then have also won the hearts of the people."

"I think that Her Highness the Sixth Princess is more suitable to be the future successor of the Camelot Empire."

Suni glanced at Xizel without leaving any trace. Even she seemed a little surprised at this moment.

After hearing this, the second prince finally reacted and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty——"

Before she finished speaking, Ivere said calmly, "So, are you sure that the person you support is Suni, Xizel?"

"Yes." Cesar replied in the affirmative.

"Very good."

The empress, who was sitting high on the main seat, spoke slowly: "In the past, there was some hatred between Xizel and the Sixth Princess. I think everyone here should have heard about it."

"I don't care how this hatred came about in the past, and I don't care what kind of fights you have in your daily life, but--"

She paused for a moment, her eyes swept over Craig and even the Second Prince, and said calmly: "I hope that in the upcoming royal election ceremony, you can consider the future of the empire instead of your own selfish desires."

The ministers present were slightly startled, as they all heard the hidden meaning in the empress's words.

In the past, Yves was not unaware of the intrigues between empires, but she often had to consider the overall situation in many things. As long as it did not involve her bottom line, she would turn a blind eye.

But as she was about to enter the other world, during this period, the general direction of the empire would need to be handed over to the trustworthy king's chosen person to control.

Even with the assistance of Grand Duke Oka and others, the person chosen by the king must have excellent ability to handle government affairs.

After Yves finished speaking, the ministers in the audience looked at each other, and they all seemed to see something meaningful in each other's eyes.

Yves raised her hand to signal, and Shirley beside her understood. She stepped forward and said in a calm and serious tone: "Next, ministers, please start voting."

Soon after he finished speaking, Xizel took the lead in throwing the slip of paper with his name on it into the box in front of him, and then retreated to the row of the king's chosen ones.

"Master Xizel, your voting choice is really surprising."

Seeing Xizel approaching him, the Second Prince spoke in a low voice with a cold tone.

"Is your Highness the Second Prince surprised?"

Xizel showed a surprised look and said with a smile: "I just vote for whoever can benefit the future of the empire... Can you ask everyone here, does anyone think that the Sixth Princess is incapable?"

The Second Prince stared at the ministers who were voting and said calmly, "So what you mean is that the other candidates present are incompetent?"

Xizel shook his head and smiled: "The various kings present here have talents in their respective fields. Miss Julia's family is in business, so she is better at negotiation and trading."

"Master Manu is the son of the vice president of the Astronomical Society and one of the students of the Clock Tower. I heard that he is also a disciple of the professor of astronomy, right?"

"He must be better at astrology than governing."

"There's no need to say much about Yulina. She has been studying various books all the time. She has done very well in both the Clock Tower and other aspects..."

"If that's the case, why didn't you choose the third princess in the end?" The second prince tried to sow discord between the two.

Xizel was startled, and looked at the second prince next to him again.

Then he raised his hand to signal.

"What's wrong?" The second prince looked at Xizel with some doubt.

"Your Highness, please come here for a moment." Xizel urged.

Although he was a little skeptical, the Second Prince still approached Xizel.

Then, I heard the boy's indifferent voice: "Who I vote for is none of your business, who do you want to vote for?"

His voice was not loud, but several of the king's chosen people present were nearby, so they all heard Xi Ze'er's voice.

Almost at that moment, all the candidates for the king's choice seemed to be unable to hold back.

They all came from various noble families, so their status and position were naturally high, so they rarely said such "vulgar" words.

The second prince's expression changed slightly, and he said coldly: "Xizel, do you know who you were talking to just now?!"

There was a hint of shock and anger in his tone.

The movements of the two soon attracted Yves's attention.

She glanced at the two of them and said in a calm and pleasant voice: "Bastin, what's wrong with you?"

Bastin immediately reacted, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, Césaire just insulted the royal family in front of the palace."

Yves was startled, and then looked at the harmless boy next door with a confused look among the king's chosen people.

As if to say: What are you doing?

Xizel also bowed and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I was having a friendly exchange with the Second Prince just now, but it seems that he may have heard it wrongly. I did not mean to insult him."

The second prince stared at Xizel and said, "You... so many people were listening to you just now, how dare you lie so blatantly? And lie in front of His Majesty?!"

"I was just communicating with you in a friendly way. I think you must have heard me wrongly."

Xizel showed a helpless look and said: "If you don't believe it, you can ask the king's chosen people who were standing beside you just now..."

He quickly added, "But our voices were low, so they probably didn't hear us clearly."

Upon hearing this, Ivril cast her eyes towards the king's chosen people standing beside the two of them and said, "Julia, did you hear César insulting the royal family just now?"

"Your Majesty, I was in a daze just now, so I didn't hear clearly." Julia replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I didn't hear it clearly either..."

Seeing Yves looking at him again, Manu also spoke.

Iveier quickly retracted her gaze and said calmly, "It seems to be a misunderstanding. We are still in the important voting stage. No meaningless quarrels are allowed in the main hall."

"Yes." Everyone answered.

In fact, it’s not that all these king’s chosen people really want to help Xi Zeer, but it’s better to have less trouble than more, and no one wants to be involved in the dispute between the two for no reason.

Seeing a crisis being solved so lightly, the second prince quickly looked at Xizel. Although he tried his best to remain calm, he couldn't help but whispered, "Xizel, why do we have to be so awkward?"

Xizel showed a puzzled look and said, "Your Highness misunderstood. I don't mean to have a quarrel with you."

"Then why do you support the Sixth Princess?"

"Everything is for the future of the empire." said Xizel.

Before the Second Prince could speak, Xizel continued, "Of course, Yulina and I were once engaged, so it is only natural that I support her."

"As for why I support the Sixth Princess now... After all, she also testified for me when Prince Kambula reported me before."

In fact, supporting the Sixth Princess was a result of comprehensive considerations by Xizel. Whether it was for the future of the empire or to repay the favor she had done, among the several candidates for the king, the Sixth Princess was the most suitable.

"I also want to thank the person who pushed me to get engaged to Youlina. If not for that, I might not be standing in this palace now."

Xizel sighed sincerely and said, "Life is sometimes full of all kinds of surprises, don't you think so, Your Highness the Second Prince?"

The second prince had a blank expression on his face, but his thoughts had already drifted far away, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

Craig, who had been standing in the corner watching the two people talking, also looked a little unhappy at this moment.

Just as César said, if it weren't for those people who secretly pushed for the marriage, César might not be standing in this palace today.

While everyone was thinking about all sorts of random things, the voting ceremony had already ended.

Yves's confidant walked to the front of the main hall.

She held the voting box in her hand, looked around at everyone, and said, "Next, the name of the acting governor will be announced."
