Chapter 1007: Chapter 515 The Emperor and the Electors_3

Ivita did not fall for it, but he also did not want to be rude in public, so he could only say softly, "For the Magic Black Forest, we indeed should focus our attention on the Black Death and the insane King of Franck."

Emperor Oyo III also cared, Ivita did not catch the conversation, if there were no Kingdom of Frank and the Great Lord of Black Death, the two sides would be irreconcilable mortal enemies. Even if Ivita really appeared to reconcile with him now, he, Oyo III, would not dare to believe it.

Emperor Oyo III said, "Regarding the position of Elector of Alsace, let us set aside the dispute for now and discuss it after the war is over."

Ivita was not surprised by this outcome.

Getting any benefit was an unexpected joy for him.

Marquis of Regensburg’s originally tense fat face suddenly showed a smile. In this way, their Fort Regen could still temporarily hold the position of Elector of Alsace.

But the next moment, Emperor Oyo III suddenly said, "However, since the King of Alsace has returned to the Imperial Parliament, acting as the Elector has become an unacceptable action. We can now temporarily revoke the eighth Elector and only consider the seven major Electors."

"What do you all think?"

The smile that had just appeared on Marquis of Regensburg’s fat face suddenly vanished.

The seven major Electors had long made a private exchange of interests with the Emperor, and now they were just going through the motions with the decision they had previously agreed upon.

"Agree."

"Very much agree."

"We agree too..."

Emperor Oyo III’s face showed a smile, while Marquis of Regensburg’s fat face turned ashen.

That’s right, if the Emperor could reduce one Elector, he would.

This was the Emperor’s strategy.

Archbishop of Mainz said, "Next, the second issue also needs to be resolved quickly. His Imperial Majesty has suggested relocating the Imperial Parliament to the vicinity of the Imperial Capital Palace, what do you all think?"

Marquis of Regensburg looked at Emperor Oyo III in horror.

Was the Emperor planning to completely devour Regensburg?

Damn it.

When the seven major Electors betrayed Regensburg, not a single one of them gave him the slightest hint. They addressed each other as brothers every day, but in critical moments, they stood by and watched with cold eyes.

Marquis of Regensburg’s red eyes widened, anger and fear welling up inside him.

Ten minutes later, the vote results came out, and the motion narrowly failed.

The Electors and the Dukes with priority voting rights all supported Emperor Oyo III’s motion, but the problem occurred with the ordinary lords.

Most of the ordinary lords voted against it, and when the vote count and points were tallied in the end, the Emperor’s side unfortunately did not get the motion passed by a mere 0.5 points.

The seven major Electors each breathed a sigh of relief, and relaxed expressions appeared on their faces.

Emperor Oyo III swept over the group of old foxes who had played him, gripping the armrest of his seat tightly.

Just as the entire Empire Council was filled with power struggles and the pursuit of interests, Ivita finally grew impatient. Regardless of the gazes of the lords around him, he spoke directly, "Enough. Too many trivial affairs have occurred in this conference. With your kind of administrative efficiency, I’m afraid that even if the Black Death were to infect this meeting place, you would all still be leisurely casting your votes."

"Let’s proceed directly to the proposal regarding the Kingdom of Frank and the Army of the Black Death."

As soon as he spoke, the lords around Ivita were shocked.

The Empire Council, formed after confrontations involving dozens of countries, was so solemn that it could not be changed, at least for the smaller lords. To speak in such a way was unimaginable to them.

But Ivita was not reproached by anyone.

First, what he said was not unreasonable, and secondly, his current status was extremely significant; casually criticizing him would almost certainly entail immense risk.

The seven major Electors and even the more numerous lords who enjoyed a good spectacle did not say anything, only the Chief Speaker responsible for presiding over the Empire Council, Archbishop of Mainz, seemed displeased, but ultimately, he said nothing and looked towards Emperor Oyo III.

Emperor Oyo III looked at Ivita. "Then let’s listen to King Ivita."

"Let’s quickly get to the point. Archbishop, can you skip those irrelevant issues?"

Archbishop of Mainz glanced at the documents in his hand and after scanning them, said, "We can. After all, the rather important matters have already been discussed. The next seventeen issues are trivialities; let’s bring forward the matters scheduled for later then."
