The afterglow of the setting sun enveloped the Royal Dragon City, covering the entire city with a gorgeous tulle.

On the streets of the North District, a beautifully decorated carriage was slowly moving forward.

After seeing the badge on the side wall of the carriage, passing pedestrians stopped to salute.

As a paladin family who has guarded the northern border of the empire for thousands of years, it is no surprise that Saint Hild has such prestige.

Inside the carriage, Colin looked at Vera who kept nodding to passers-by in return, and smiled: "Aren't you tired?"

Vera then lowered the car curtain, shut out her admiration and admiration, and stuck her tongue out and said, "It's a little tired."

As he spoke, he twisted his sore neck.

This time I went to a banquet at the consul's house in Crete. Vera wore a dignified and elegant palace dress. The exquisite tailoring craftsmanship outlined her perfect body curve vividly. The long golden hair was turned into a lady's bun, making the swan. The elegant and long white neck was revealed.

Colin just reached out his hand to help his wife squeeze her neck.

Vera turned her head and gave her husband a sweet smile.

There is also an electric light bulb in the carriage, Bachelor Dawn, who has been looking down at the pattern on the carpet, as if trying to find out some mystery from it.

Colin also saw the other party's embarrassment, and broke the silence: "Dawn, why do you think the Archon of Crete would invite us this time?"

"Should I want to cooperate with us." Bachelor Dawn did not raise his head, and responded in a deep voice. Declare war.

After all, they are still counting on the imperial center to provide military assistance to the west. "

Colin nodded, he also judged this way, so he felt more relaxed and happy along the way.

With the support of the veterans of the Western Realm, it would be more certain to reject Prince Leahy's proposal.

While talking, the carriage has stopped.

Bachelor Dawn got out of the wagon first, and then Colin led Vera out of the wagon.

"Miss Vera, Viscount Anglia! Welcome to Nightingale Manor!"

It was an old man with a sharp face.

He is wearing a white noble gown, of high quality, excellent workmanship, and simple but tasteful decoration. His face is covered with traces of the passage of time, his hair is a bit gray, but the number of black hair is far more than that of white hair, his eyes are energetic, his complexion is ruddy, and his waist is straight. Although he is old, he looks quite tough.

The old man's voice is gentle, his temperament is gentle, and his gestures show the majesty of the superior.

This person is one of the five consuls of the Senate-Crete Saint-Grian.

Colin and Vera hurriedly stepped forward to salute and greet them with excitement.

You know, when they went to see Sebas, the "owner" this morning, the other party did not go out to greet him. Bass had no sincerity to help Vera at all.

Under the leadership of the Archon of Crete, everyone entered the manor. Of course, no one with no eyesight jumped out to provoke Colin along the way.

Hundreds of candles illuminate the restaurant as if day, and the air is filled with the fresh and elegant fragrance of plants and trees. Crete warmly invited Vera and his party to their seats, and then young and beautiful maids filed in and delivered exquisite food. .

The decorations of the Nightingale Manor are equally luxurious, and it seems that this Cretan consul is not the only person in the Senate.

However, Colin didn't care whether the other party was greedy for money, as long as he could give him the help he deserves, he didn't mind paying some price.

Of course, it would not work for a lion to speak loudly like Sebas, and Colin didn't want to be taken advantage of.

The Archon of Crete picked up the wine glass and said with a hearty voice: "Guests from the North, although the current situation in the empire is turbulent, I believe that the positions of the West and the North on certain issues are the same!

As long as we work together and advance and retreat together, we will surely achieve the desired result! "

Colin's eyes lit up, and the frankness and sincerity of the Western Territory Archon surprised him. He drank all the wine in his glass in one sip, and then he smiled and said:

"Your Excellency, you are right! We in the North also think that this is not the best time to declare war on Yeville."

"Very good!" Crete nodded in satisfaction, but then asked with some worry, "But the Sebastian Archon of your family supports a declaration of war on Yevil and is inciting a family of elders in the North to fight Leahy. Vote for the Prince’s proposal, Miss Vera, do you know about it?"

Vera's face changed slightly and she nodded and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, we know this. However, please rest assured that Sebas alone cannot represent the Northern Territory, and it may not be able to influence the attitude of all Northern veterans."

Colin also smiled and added: "Although Vera has not formally inherited the title of Duke of the North, she has the will of the previous duke and is the first heir to the right. Moreover, the major lords of the North also recognized Vera's will. Inheritance rights, they will put pressure on their elders to veto the proposal to declare war."

Only then did the Archon of Crete relax his face and smile again, saying: "Okay! As long as the North and the West are the same, then don't want to get an absolute majority of votes for the declaration of war!"

Upon seeing this, Bachelor Dawn reminded him in a careful tone: "Your Excellency, the only thing to worry about now is the issue of time.

Miss Vera has written back to the north, asking Marquis Garcia to exert pressure on the lord of the north, but it will take some time for this pressure to be transmitted to the elders of the north.

I just don’t know if I can catch up with the vote on the proposal. "

Upon hearing this, the Archon of Crete laughed and said: "Don't worry, it must be too late!"

Seeing that the other party was so confident, Colin asked quickly; "Oh? I wonder if the Senate has arranged a voting agenda for this proposal?"

Crete shook his head and said: "Not yet. But you can rest assured that until the end of this month, Prince Leahy's proposal cannot be submitted to the Senate for voting."

"Why?"

"Do you know why this proposal has been delayed for so long without entering the Senate? Because to submit the proposal to the Senate for voting, the rotating chairperson needs to agree, and this month's rotating chairperson is the Archon of Letome."

With a move in Colin's heart, he immediately understood what the other party meant. Reminiscent of the previous Archon of Letome pretending to be sick and rejecting Vera's visit, he suddenly realized:

"You mean... the Archon of Letome deliberately pretended to be ill and delayed and prevented the proposal from entering the Senate."

Crete smiled and nodded, admitting Colin's guess.

Vera smiled and said: "So, the elders of the San Lorenzo family are also opposed to the proposal?"

Crete shook his head and said, "No, Prince Leahy's influence is too great. The elders of the San Lorenzo family are wavering, and it is estimated that most of them will vote in favor."

"That's enough!" Colin exclaimed, "After all, we only need one-third of the negative votes to prevent the proposal from being passed!"

At this time, the stone in his heart finally landed safely.

However, through this storm, Colin also deeply realized the terrifying influence of Prince Leahy in the imperial capital.

Even though Emperor Reinhardt and the consul of the San Lorenzo family were unwilling to declare war on Yevil, they did not dare to oppose his proposal directly. They could only delay by pretending to be sick, and then resorted to other means to go. Let the proposal die.

Haha, it's no wonder that Emperor Reinhardt would rather take the risk to cooperate with Mr. Coquettish, but also obtain the means to restrain the Paladin. UU Reading

No matter who sits on the throne, facing such a powerful paladin, they will have trouble sleeping and eating.

Then, everyone let go of their worries and began to enjoy good food. The atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer during the chat and laughter.

But at this moment, an old man with the appearance of a housekeeper hurriedly came to the consul of Crete and whispered a few words.

Then, everyone saw Crete's face visibly pale.

A bad premonition rose in Colin's heart, and he asked carefully: "Your Excellency, what happened?"

Crete was stunned for a moment, seeming to be a little unresponsive, and it took a long while to look up at Colin, and said in an extremely heavy tone:

"Letome Archon, unfortunately passed away just now!"
