Chapter 292： analyze

In the early morning of the second day, when Colin brought Vera to the restaurant, he finally saw Bachelor Dawn again.

"Good morning, Miss Vera, Viscount Anglia!"

"Good morning, Bachelor Dawn, did the Prime Minister leave you for dinner at home yesterday?"

"Yes, the Prime Minister is very enthusiastic, and it's hard for me to refuse."

"Haha, it's okay, I can understand. And, I guess the dinner at the Prime Minister's house will definitely not be much worse than that at the Phoenix Palace."

"It's really not too much." Bachelor Dawn smiled slightly, and then told Colin that he was squatting on the lawn with the Prime Minister last night and nibbling on sweet potatoes.

Colin and Willa looked at each other immediately, never expected that the imperial prime minister would entertain the guests in this way...

Of course, when you think about it carefully, although this method is a bit rude, it shows more closeness. It seems that the Prime Minister regards Bachelor Dawn as his true person.

The maid served a hearty breakfast. Colin didn't get too entangled with the prime minister's wonderful hospitality. He cut off a juicy fried steak and put it in his mouth, chewed it, and asked:

"Then how did you talk to the Prime Minister yesterday?"

Bachelor Dawn did not answer immediately, but said to the maids around him: "You go down first."

"Yes."

When only three of Colin were left in the restaurant, Bachelor Dawn said, "In general, the talk is good, but there is good news and bad news."

"Then tell me the good news first." Colin drank a sip of milk and smiled, "A good day needs a good start."

Bachelor Dawn put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with a napkin, signaled that he had finished eating, and then said the good news that Colin wanted to hear most:

"The Prime Minister is willing to stand up at the right time and publicly declare that he supports Master Joyce's succession to the Duke of the North."

Colin nodded, satisfied with the result.

Vera was still a bit at a loss, wondering: "Your Prime Minister supports Joyce...How can this be good news?"

Bachelor Dawn smiled, and then recounted the contradiction between Baron Heidegger and the Senate.

It was only then that Vera realized that the prime minister's support for Joyce was actually to stimulate the Senate and make them unanimously agree to inherit the title of Duke of the North.

Colin continued to ask: "Then what's the bad news?"

Bachelor Dawn's expression became a little heavy, and said: "A warsong tribe has emerged among the orcs. The Western Territory has sent expedition troops to cross the Tianduan Mountains in an attempt to kill it in the bud in advance... But so far there is no good news. Pass it back.

Your Excellency the Prime Minister is worried that there will be problems in the Western Region, but currently the senior officials of the imperial capital generally have no plans to send troops to support them. "

Colin's face also changed. He pulled out information about the orcs from the memory of his predecessor, and of course he understood the seriousness of the problem.

If the West is not exaggerated, then this is definitely the biggest threat that the Glorious Empire will face.

Upon hearing this, Vera couldn't help asking: "Why are the big figures in the imperial capital unwilling to send troops to support the West?"

Colin twitched and smiled disdainfully: "Before the disaster really strikes, most people will take a fluke and think that things won't be so bad."

Bachelor Dawn nodded and agreed: "Indeed. Before seeing the real threat, the Empire Central was reluctant to send troops easily. However, in addition, there is actually another reason."

"Oh? What's the reason?"

"This is another bad news." Bachelor Dawn said solemnly, "Prince Leahy has asked for a declaration of war on Yeville!"

"What?" Vera exclaimed.

She has lived and studied in Yevil for more than ten years, and has long regarded it as her second hometown. When she heard the news, she immediately couldn't help worrying.

"Why is it like this? It's because of the'eye of judgment' forbidden curse, right? But...but doesn't the empire worry that the mages will be burned?"

Bachelor Dawn sighed: "It is indeed because of the'eye of judgment.' Prince Leahy is not a person who can endure coercion. He would rather take the risk of being revenge by the wizard, and also completely eliminate this, which is extremely terrifying to the knight class. Threat."

Seeing Vera's expression in a panic, Colin quickly held her slightly cold little hand, and comforted:

"Should not everyone have the determination and courage of Prince Leahy? This proposal to declare war on the wizard may not be implemented."

Bachelor Dawn nodded: "That's right. The political undercurrents in the imperial capital are now surging, mainly because of this proposal. Moreover, your Majesty is obviously unwilling to declare war on the mages. He is deliberately staying behind closed doors and just doesn't want this proposal to pass the Imperial Conference. "

Colin smiled clearly and said: "I heard at the dinner yesterday that your Majesty was sick. It turned out to be because of this!"

"80% is for this reason. However, even if your Majesty keeps hiding, there is another way to implement this declaration of war."

Colin said uncertainly: "The Senate?"

"Yes!"

"Will Prince Leahy do this?" Colin said in a concretized voice, "This means that I have completely torn the face with Emperor Reinhardt."

"When Emperor Reinhardt secretly received Mr. Coquettish and reached a tacit understanding with him, he had completely offended Prince Leahy, so now Prince Leahy will probably no longer worry about royal dignity."

Colin's face gradually became gloomy.

He also realized why this was bad news for Vera.

If Prince Leahy wants to force his proposal through the Senate without the emperor’s approval, he must obtain an absolute majority of votes.

This also means that he must persuade more than two-thirds of the elders to provoke their hatred of the wizard.

And Vera is also a mage...

Originally, Bachelor Dawn’s plan was to use the Prime Minister to influence the Senate’s decision on the succession of the Duke of the North, but now it seems that Prince Leahy’s actions are very likely to invalidate this plan.

Perhaps Prince Leahy didn't care who inherited the Duke of the North, but he inadvertently blocked Vera's way.

What's more, if the empire really declares war on Yevil, the mages will most likely retaliate. Whether it is the citizens of the empire or the nobles of the knights who will suffer in the end, the brilliance empire's hatred of the mages will definitely reach a peak.

At this time, as a mage, can Vera still be able to stare at such hatred and successfully inherit the throne of the Duke of the North?

Thinking of this, Colin immediately said solemnly: "We can't let Prince Leahy's proposal pass the Senate!"

Bachelor Dawn also nodded, agreeing: "Yes!"

But immediately, Colin felt a headache.

Originally, their plan was to obtain the support of the Senate through trickery through the Prime Minister’s statement, but now they find that if trickery fails, they still have to deal with the senators one by one.

This requires extremely deep political capital and influence.

And this is what Vera and Colin lack most now.

"What are your thoughts?" Colin asked, he can only hope for Bachelor Dawn now.

After the Bachelor of Dawn pondered for a moment, he slowly said: "There are 117 members in the Imperial Senate, all of whom are high-profile figures from the collateral lines of the empire's major families. The families of the West, North, and the Scarlet Collar each account for one-fifth.

Therefore, the power of the entire Senate is basically the same as the power of the vassals in the empire. The Senate also has five consuls from the five paladin families, who can have a great influence on the senators of their vassal families.

To make Prince Leahy’s proposal bankrupt, we must at least win the support of the two consuls and use them to influence the veterans of his faction. In this way, the proposal to declare war on the Master could not get an absolute majority of approval votes.

I think the two consuls most likely to be won by us are Sebas, the consul of the St. Hild family in the Senate, and the consul of the San Lorenzo family in the Senate – Letom. . "

Colin's brows were still frowned. He knew what Bachelor Dawn said was reasonable, but he knew that these two men were not easy to be moved.

Sebastian was born in the St. Hild family and is still Vera's uncle by seniority. Of course, he can represent the interests of the St. Hild family, but the interests of the St. Hild family may not necessarily be the interests of Vera. After all, she is still Not the Duke of the North.

Moreover, at the ball last night, Queen Midella also specially reminded herself not to trust Sebastian Archon.

Although Colin would not completely trust Queen Midella, this reminder still left a trace of haze in his heart.

As for the Archon of Letome of the San Lorenzo family... I am afraid he is more likely to be moved by Prince Leahy.

Unless Emperor Reinhardt personally comes forward, it is possible to change the position of the patriarchs of San Lorenzo.

It's just that this unreliable emperor...how could he not let Colin feel relieved.

"Then let's visit the Archon Sebastian this afternoon." Vera said.

Colin hesitated, but still did not express his doubts.

First of all, it is impossible for Queen Midella to believe what he says. He is more willing to test it himself. Moreover, Vera came to the Dragon City as a junior, and she should visit the Archon of Sebastian if she is in love or reason. It's rude.

"Okay, I will arrange someone to send the greeting card first."
