Book 6: Chapter 15.2
Not all heads of noble houses can participate in the “assembly” — because there are many nobles who hold their own territories. Therefore, a majority vote will be made based on the total number of participating nobles.
Many nobles started to stand up. Not only the high-ranking nobles on the first floor, but also the nobles on the second floor.
(They got me–)
There were no plans for such an important agenda to come up in this “assembly”, thus Duke Ebene did not invite the nobles in his faction to join.
Grenjido easily violated the unspoken agreement that important matters should be notified in advance. He should know that using such a foul move will increase friction between the nobles and cause an internal rift.
(I cannot believe this!)
What surprised Duke Ebene the most, however, was that three of the Five Great Dukes stood up; Duke Rozier, Duke Reese, Duke Lamer. Duke Ebene was shocked by the fact that he did not even detect that these three had been pulled to Grenjido’s side.
As he looked up at his last ray hope, the Holy Queen, she sat unmoving with a grim look. His gaze met the Holy Queen’s.
(Are you telling me to “stay quiet”, too? We can’t stop Duke Grenjido’s reckless behavior like this. Keeping silent at this moment is a poor move, Your Majesty!)
