Felan, like the corrupt country, also retained the royal family.
However, the royal family was more like the symbol of a country. They had no power at all.
But Felan was different.
As the empress, not only was her status extremely noble, but she also had a certain amount of authority.
Therefore, the result of each heir selection was no less than the election of the cabinet prime minister for Felan.
The difference was…
The election of the Prime Minister was open.
The selection of the empress's successor was decided in private.
Princess Rosemona was led by a maid.
He took light steps and left the room.
He walked straight to the royal palace, where the meeting was held.
In the meeting hall.
The Queen of Felan sat on the main seat.
The Prime Minister of the Cabinet sat on the deputy seat.
The 100 cabinet members were all seated.
Other than that, there was also the second princess who was also qualified to be the heir.
She sat at the side nervously.
Soon, Rosmona arrived at the meeting hall and found her seat.
On the main seat.
Her mother, the current empress of Felan, glanced at her two daughters.
However, his gaze was still on Rosemona.
As the First Princess, she was naturally more anticipated.
However, the succession of the empress was a matter of national importance.
Even if she liked her eldest daughter more, she still needed to democratically elect her.
However, her vote…
Compared to ordinary councilmen, they had more power!
If the two princesses had equal votes, the Empress 'vote would have the final say.
After looking away, she slowly stood up.
"Since everyone is here, according to the rules that have always been in place…we will choose an heir to be nurtured as the next empress!”
the Empress said softly.
His voice wasn't loud, but it was filled with dignity!
In the quiet meeting hall, the reverberations clearly entered everyone's ears.
After saying that, the Empress turned to look at the Prime Minister beside her.
* Cough *
The Prime Minister stood up and announced in a loud voice.
"Then everyone…let's start voting!”
Since it was an internal meeting, there was no need for too much cliché.
Everyone knew that they could start immediately.
Words must be said.
A group of staff walked in.
In their hands, they were all holding voting materials.
All the councilors could tick the names of the princesses that they felt were qualified to be the heirs.
The Empress and the Prime Minister also received a vote.
Then, the sound of paper and pen rustling could be heard in the entire meeting room.
A moment later, the last sound of writing stopped.
Only then did a staff member walk in again and take away all the voting results.
Moreover, the votes were counted on the spot.
There were cameras monitoring the entire process.
It was to ensure that there was no chance for anyone to cheat.
Ten minutes later.
A staff member respectfully came to the Prime Minister's side and handed over the voting results.
The Prime Minister lowered his head to take a look.
Then, he gave the Queen a reassuring look.
He glanced at Rosemona expectantly.
This expression was not announced.
However, everyone present was a member of parliament and held a high position. Their ability to read people's expressions was extremely high.
Therefore, he knew the result from the expression of the Prime Minister.
In the quiet meeting hall.
Gradually, whispers could be heard.
" It's indeed Princess Rosmona!"
"The Prime Minister has written the answer on his face!”
"I was right…The only one who is qualified to be the heir…is Princess Rosmona!”
"After all, she is the Eldest Princess. Her talent, knowledge, and personality are far above the Second Princess!”
"The second princess is more lively and enthusiastic. She has a lot of support among the people.”
"What's the use? It's not like we're in the election, so the public support rate is only for reference and will not be used as a final deciding factor…However, when we vote, we do consider the support rate.”
"You said that the second princess has a higher public support rate? Ha, what a joke!"
"Yeah, the biggest media in our country voted and handed in millions of votes…but the cold and noble Princess Rosemona has a higher support rate!”
"This…why? Princess Rosemona had such a cold personality, but her support rate was higher?”
"It seems to be a folk rumor…Although the second princess is passionate, she's too pretentious. Princess Rosemona, on the other hand, has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.”
" Yes, I remember. When the coastal town was hit by the tsunami, the second princess was afraid that the disaster would still be in danger, so she delayed for a few days before she dared to appease the victims. However, Princess Rosmona had already brought relief supplies when the tsunami had just passed and the tide had not receded!”
"The commoners can be deceived for a while, but they can't be deceived by you forever! There are many similar incidents."
"That's right, not to mention…many netizens feel that only someone as noble and cold as Princess Rosemona is qualified to be the empress!”
The councilmen smiled and discussed.
The vast majority of people acknowledged it from the bottom of their hearts.
Some of the supporters of the second princess sighed in frustration.
The difference between the two princesses was too great.
The second princess was too materialistic. Even if she liked to create hype, she was not as popular as the first princess.
After all…
The selection of the successor was decided by the cabinet.
Even if the Second Princess had deceived the citizens of the country, how could she deceive these shrewd councilmen?
At this moment, after the Prime Minister and the Empress went to confirm the matter.
He stood up, took the final result, and cleared his throat.
"First Princess, Rosemona, 77 votes.”
"The second princess, Desmona, 23 votes.”
"The final result…is that Rosemona has been chosen as the heir to the throne!”
His voice was extremely loud and clear.
The final result was decided with a single blow.
It was confirmed.
" It's indeed Princess Rosemona."
"Congratulations, Princess Rosemona.”
"It is most suitable for you to inherit the throne.”
The councilmen stood up and applauded.
The sound of congratulations was even more endless.
Rosemona stood up elegantly.
He was very polite and thanked them one by one.
His face was also filled with an extremely happy smile.
However, in the eyes of outsiders.
She was ecstatic because she had become the heir and would be able to inherit the position of the Empress in the future.
But…
Only she understood.
She wanted to be the heir only to fulfill her promise to Lin Yi.
With the identity of the heir to the throne.
Then, she would be able to look for him with the most honorable status!
The thought of the two of them being together in the future…
Not only was she overjoyed, but she also blushed like a little girl.
However, no one noticed.
And in the seats at the side,
He heard the results announced by the Prime Minister.
The second princess was not surprised.
However, anger appeared on his face.
He cursed in his heart!
This bunch of bullsh * t councilmen.
Those bullsh * t commoners!
She had clearly done so many things, even if it was all an act, but she actually…
How could he not be recognized by others!
The difference was actually so great!
Her sister had 77 votes.
It was more than three times higher than her 23 votes!
It was close to a crushing instant kill!
This was simply a slap to her face!
If it ended like this…
Even if she had the ability to overturn the heavens, the position of empress would no longer be related to her!
Unfortunately…
However, these people were happy too early.
She had really obtained something that could turn the tide of the battle!
According to the procedure, after the results were announced.
The Empress would say a few words of encouragement to the successor.
Therefore, the congratulatory speech of the councilmen lasted for a while before it gradually calmed down.
Everyone obediently returned to their original positions.
The entire meeting hall returned to silence.
The Empress stood up gently and opened her mouth slightly.
He was about to speak.
However, before he could say a word.
An extremely sharp and anxious voice sounded from the side.
"Wait! I have an opinion!"
The second princess stood up with confidence and a mocking smile.
"It's useless even if you have objections!"
The Empress snorted and frowned.
A win was a win, and a loss was a loss.
All the members of the council voted on the matter.
Even she did not have the ability to change it.
Moreover, she was just a princess of the royal family!？
She was not the only one. The Prime Minister and all the members of parliament were also laughing and shaking their heads in disappointment.
If he was generous enough to admit that he was not selected and send his blessings.
They even thought highly of the second princess.
However, it would be embarrassing to pester him like this.
However, the second princess didn't care. She wasn't afraid of the strange gazes around her.
His eyes swept across Rose Mona with a hint of playfulness.
Then, it landed on her mother, the current empress.
"Mother, I still remember…every princess must maintain her purity before marriage, right?”
Her voice was extremely cold.
Moreover, it was filled with endless mockery.
"Of course!"
The Empress nodded.
The royal family had many restrictions and rules.
One of them was that every princess was not allowed to mess around before she got married.
Otherwise, it would be irresponsible to her future husband.
Furthermore, he was irresponsible to the dignity of the royal family!
Once the news of the princess fooling around with another person before the wedding spread, the princess would be killed.
That was simply putting the imperial family's face on the ground and letting others trample on it!
Therefore, this was an absolute prohibition!
Violators, not to mention the election of the successor…
Even his status as a member of the royal family would be stripped away and he would be reduced to a commoner!
But…
The Empress frowned slightly, feeling uneasy.
In the meeting to choose the successor.
Why did he bring this up?
Could it be…
Was he trying to smear Rosemona's name because he couldn't get selected?
Hearing this news, many of the councilmen around were stunned.
His face was filled with disbelief.
In total, there were only two princess candidates.
The second princess brought up this matter at this moment.
The target was self-evident!
It was directed at Princess Rosemona!
"This…No way. I've never heard of Princess Rosemona having any scandals!”
"Her life is extremely simple…Even if she does anything outside, she's always under strict protection. She never goes out in private…Where did she get the chance?”
"It's even more impossible for unfamiliar men to enter and exit the imperial palace.”
"That's right. It's impossible for someone to have the ability to break into the Imperial Palace, right?”
"Heh…our royal palace has troops stationed outside, six tanks, eight combat helicopters on standby, and top-notch bodyguards inside, fully armed and on 24-hour shifts…There are thousands of surveillance cameras in every aisle.”
"With such security, it would be easier to rob the central bank of Felan than to break into the royal palace!？”
"I'm afraid that after the second princess lost, she was indignant and threw dirty water at him.”
"But…this is an extremely serious accusation! If it wasn't true, she would probably be severely punished!”
"So…I really can't figure it out. Could it have been a moment of impulse?”
The surroundings were in an uproar.
The councilmen discussed animatedly, their voices getting louder and louder.
It could be seen how much impact that simple sentence had on the entire meeting hall.
"Do you know how severe the punishment you will receive if this is fake?”
The Empress's eyes flashed with anger.
Regardless of whether this was true or not, she was already furious.
"Of course I know…I just don't know if Sister dares to admit it? Or should he admit it after a check-up?”
The second princess looked at Rosemona, and the smile on her face widened.
She had spent a lot of money to buy this information from a personal maid beside Rosmona.
It was a middle-aged maid who was extremely experienced.
The maid could tell at a glance whether she was pure or not.
Selling the information to the second princess would be the most valuable.
Therefore, the Second Princess had already won the election.
As long as this news was announced.
She only had 23 votes.
Even if she had zero votes and was not popular at all…
As long as there were no competitors, she would still become the heir and be groomed as the next empress!
"Is this…true?"
The queen's eyes were filled with doubt as she stared at Rosmona.
Not only the Empress.
Everyone looked at her with scrutinizing eyes.
A hint of panic appeared on her face.
Then, he bit his lips and lowered his head.
His eyes were filled with despair.
She was indeed…
She was no longer pure.
During the process of interacting with the mysterious Eastern man.
She was the one who handed it over.
Hiding this matter was because she was certain that she would marry Lin Yi.
He was still faithful.
But he didn't expect…
This matter had actually been exposed, and it had even been exposed by his sister in public!
This time, she was finished.
In fact, tarnishing the princess was a very serious crime in Felan Kingdom and could be sentenced to death.
He was afraid…
The anger of a country would implicate Lin Yi!
