The afterglow of the setting sun shrouded Yulong City, covering the whole city with a gorgeous veil.

On the streets of the North District, a richly decorated carriage was slowly advancing.

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

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

Inside the carriage, Colin looked at Vera who kept nodding back to passers-by and said with a smile, "Aren't you tired?"

Only then did Vera put down the curtain of the car, blocking out the eyes of reverence and admiration, sticking out her tongue and saying, "I'm a little tired."

Saying that, he twisted his sore neck.

This time I went to the consul's house in Crete for a banquet. Vera wore a dignified and elegant palace dress. The exquisite tailoring craftsmanship outlined her perfect body curve vividly. The elegant and long white neck was revealed.

Colin just reached out his hand and kneaded his wife's neck.

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

There was also a light bulb in the carriage - Master Dawn, who kept looking down at the pattern on the carpet, as if trying to study some mystery from it.

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

"It should be because he wants to cooperate with us." Bachelor Dawn didn't look up, and responded in a deep voice, "There has been no good news from the Western Expeditionary Force that has gone deep into the orc territory. The Saint Grian family definitely doesn't want to see the Empire's response to the Mage at this time. declare war.

After all, they are counting on the Central Empire of the Empire to provide military assistance to the Western Region. "

Colin nodded, and he judged it the same way, so he felt more relaxed and happy along the way.

With the support of the elders of the Western Regions, it would be more certain to veto Prince Lehi's proposal.

While speaking, the carriage had stopped.

Maester Dawn got out of the carriage first, and then Colin led Vera out of the carriage.

"Miss Vera,

Viscount Angele! Welcome to Nightingale Manor! "

The speaker was an old man with a clear face.

He wears a white aristocratic dress of high quality and fine workmanship, and the decoration is simple but tasteful. His face is covered with traces of the passage of time, and his hair is a little gray, but the number of black hair is far more than that of white hair. His eyes are bright, his complexion is ruddy, and his waist is straight.

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

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

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

You must know that when they went to see Sebas this morning, the other party didn't go out to greet him. The consul who came to see the Western Region at this time received such courtesy. In comparison, it can be seen that Sebas Bass had no sincerity to help Vera at all.

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

Hundreds of candles illuminated the restaurant as if it were daytime, and the air was filled with the fresh and elegant fragrance of grass and trees. Crete warmly invited Vera and her party to take a seat, and then the young and beautiful maids filed in to deliver exquisite food. .

The decoration of Nightingale Manor is equally luxurious, and it seems that this Cretan consul is not a loner in the senate.

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

Of course, it's definitely not enough for a lion to open his mouth like Sebas, and Colin doesn't want to be taken advantage of.

The Archon of Crete raised his glass and said in a hearty voice: "The distinguished 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 to advance and retreat together, we will surely achieve the desired results! "

Colin's eyes lit up. He was very surprised by the frankness and sincerity of this Western Region Archon. He drank the wine in one gulp, and then echoed with a smile:

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

"Very good!" Crete nodded with satisfaction, but then asked with some concern, "But the consul of your family, Sebastian, supports declaring war on Yeville, and is inciting the elders of the North to fight Lehi. The Prince's proposal is voted in favor, Miss Vera, do you know about it?"

Vera's face changed slightly, and she nodded: "Yes, Your Excellency Consul, we know about this. However, please rest assured that Sebas alone cannot represent the North, and may not be able to influence the attitude of all the elders of the North."

Colin also added with a smile: "Although Vera has not officially inherited the position of the Duke of the North, she has the will of the previous Duke and is the first heir. Moreover, the major lords of the North also recognize Vera's Inheritance, they will put pressure on their elders to veto the proposal to declare war."

Only then did the consul of Crete relax, and he smiled again, saying: "Okay! As long as the northern border and the western border are the same, then the proposal to declare war can't get an absolute majority of votes!"

Upon seeing this, Master Dawn reminded with a careful tone: "Your Excellency Consul, the only thing to worry about now is the question of time.

Miss Vera has written back to the North, asking Marquis Garcia to put pressure on the lords of the North, but it may take some time for this pressure to be transmitted to the elders of the North.

Just don't know if I'll be able to catch up with the vote on the proposal. "

Hearing the words, the consul of Crete laughed and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely be too late!"

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

Crete shook his head and said, "Not yet. But don't worry, until the end of this month, Prince Leahy's proposal cannot be submitted to the Senate for a vote."

"why?"

"Do you know why this proposal has not entered the Senate for so long? Because to submit the proposal to the Senate for a vote, the rotating chairman needs to agree, and this month's rotating chairman is Archon Letom."

With a move in Colin's heart, he immediately understood what the other party meant. Thinking of the previous Lattom consul feigning illness and rejecting Vera's visit, he suddenly realized:

"You mean... Archon Lattom deliberately delayed the proposal by pretending to be sick to prevent the proposal from entering the Senate."

Critter nodded with a smile and admitted Colin's guess.

Vera's face brightened and she said, "So, the elders of the San Lorenzo family are also opposed to this proposal?"

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

"That's enough!" Colin said excitedly, "After all, we only need to get one-third of the negative votes to prevent the passage of this proposal!"

At this moment, 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 the consuls of Emperor Reinhardt and the San Lorenzo family were reluctant to declare war on Yeville, but they did not dare to oppose his proposal head-on. They could only delay by pretending to be sick, and then resort to other means. Let the proposal die.

Hehe, it is no wonder that Emperor Reinhardt would rather take the risk to cooperate with Mr. Ho, and also obtain the means to restrain the Paladins.

No matter who sits on the throne, facing such a powerful paladin, it will be difficult to sleep and eat.

Next, everyone put down their worries and began to enjoy delicious food. During the chat and laughter, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became warmer.

But at this moment, an old man who looked like a butler hurriedly came to the side of the consul of Crete and reported a few words in a low voice.

Then, everyone saw Crete's face visibly pale.

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

Crete was stunned for a moment, and seemed to be a little unresponsive. After a long while, he looked up at Colin, and said in a very heavy tone:

"Consul Lattom, just passed away unfortunately!"
