509 Resul (2/2)
”We can only take our chances. Rex seemed well prepared. I'll report the result to the Highest Council. They will decide whether or not assassination is necessary.” Viscount Harrison left in a hurry.
In a secret chamber inside the Nekso Palace, Rex spoke to two seniors respectfully, ”Your Excellency Saint Sard, Your Excellency Kritonia, Natasha has achieved the right to the throne as per your instruction.”
”Very good.” Sard smiled peacefully, his dangling eyelids blocking his dirty eyeballs.
......
On the 35th floor of the magic tower in Allyn, in the meeting room of the Highest Council, one of the twenty-four chairs was gone.
”We discussed the problem before. I don't think it's the best choice to let Beliel's student be the queen of Holm. I suggest we eliminate her in advance.” Said Vicente, the Lord of the Undead, coldly, without looking at Hathaway at all.”
Vicente, who was well prepared, proved his innocence in Congus' incident, and provided sufficient evidence that Congus' students were unaware of Demigod-lich's actions, protecting them from being punished.
Several members of the Highest Council nodded, agreeing that Natasha and Gordon should be killed to ensure David's right to the throne.
Hathaway looked at them, coldly, ”This is the Hoffenberg family's business. Whoever meddles with it will be my sworn enemy. Also, I believe that Natasha will be a just queen who will not be biased towards the Church.”
Due to her lack of eloquence, she simply threated her enemy.
”But how many people support you? Vicente challenged Hathaway.
Davey, the Innovator, said lightheartedly, ”I believe in Hathaway's judgment.”
”What's wrong with you?” Without a sign, the Lord of Storm began to roar, ”Kill Natasha and Gordon? Are you planning to terrify all the nobles in Holm, Brianne, Colette, and Calais? Sard will smile in his dreams! The nobles will be completely inclined to him! Seven legendary knights in four countries, plus the Grand Cardinals in their parishes, that will be twelve legendary warriors, two of whom are level-three! It's enough to suffocate us!”
The other members of the Highest Council couldn't help but shift their heads under the roar, but most of them secretly agreed with him. While Fernando was short-tempered, unamiable and even slightly freakish, he had always considered the development of the Congress.
”Fernando, what's your opinion?” Douglas asked in a smile. He was least influenced by the roar.
Fernando looked around with his red eyes, and most members did not dare to look back at him. ”At the very least, Natasha is not a bad choice.”
”Not a bad choice. Yes, I agree with that.” Douglas was more willing to trust Hathaway and Fernando.
Vicente meant to object, but his influence was diminished by the Demigod-lich's incident. His allies were unwilling to support him at such a moment. Therefore, the Highest Council reached a conclusion very soon. Natasha would not be stopped, but her tendencies would be observed so that she could be destroyed or controlled when necessary.
......
After he returned to his library from the meeting room, Fernando saw Lucien who was wearing a black, double-breasted tuxedo pacing back and forth.
”Master, what's the situation?” Sensing that his teacher came in, Lucien hurried to ask.
Fernando chuckled. ”Natasha will not be stopped from inheriting the throne, but it's mostly up to herself. Violet is far away from Holm, and she still has her father to take care of.”
Then, he said solemnly, ”Lucien, this is the best I can do for you. It depends on yourself whether or not you can trick a queen into your bed.”
Lucien smiled in embarrassment, ”It's very difficult. Natasha likes girls.”
”That's indeed a problem…” Fernando thought for a moment. Then, his eyes shined. He opened the space gate to the demiplane, leaving Lucien in the library in confusion.
A moment later, Fernando walked back with a belt with beautiful stripes. He gloated, ”It's still there. This is my most remarkable achievement in alchemy when I was young. Lucien, put it on, and you and Natasha will be a loving couple soon enough.”
”What's this?” Lucien found it odd and did not dare to take it over.
Fernando grimaced and raised the belt, ”A gender-transitioning belt, of course. You will become a real girl after you put it on. Natasha is close to you enough. The only obstacle between you should be gender.”
Lucien did not see his face, but he guessed that it must be filled with anger and awkwardness. ”Master, this is my boundaries. Please don't joke about it.”
”How boring. You are unwilling to sacrifice anything for love.” Fernando shook his head exaggeratedly, teasing his student.
Lucien looked back at him expressionlessly, ”That's not important. The important thing is, why did you build a gender-transitioning belt when you were young, master?”
Fernando's smile was immediately frozen. Then he glared, ”Somebody asked me to build it for him.”
”Tsk…” Lucien shook his head, not convinced at all. ”There are wrong names, but no wrong nicknames. No wonder they all call you a freak.”
”What's that attitude? Life is all about trying. Lucien, I'm very worried about your life status. A man who hasn't tried anything is pathetic.” Fernando sniffed and drove Lucien out.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
