Don't confiscate my citizenship

The Capitol Building located on the banks of the Helrom Mana River is not only the seat of the Protos Empire Parliament, but also a symbol of Protos' politics, history and architectural art.

Dating back six hundred years, the building is world-famous for its monumental scale and intricately carved stone walls and bell tower.

Famous for its iconic blue seats and oppositional seating arrangement, the House of Commons is one of the most important political decision-making venues in Herrom, while the House of Lords celebrates its heritage with its red seats and ornate decorations and Solemnity, mainly responsible for reviewing and amending bills, while Franklin Hall is a key hub connecting the Upper and Lower Houses and is responsible for conducting large-scale activities.

The election of Cardinals of the Resurrection Church, which is about to be completed at this moment, will select the sole spokesperson of the Resurrection Church in the Protos Empire. This bishop will become the true partner of the Protos Empire.

As the clock will soon reach nine o'clock in the morning, most of the attendees in the vast Franklin Hall have taken their seats and are ready to wait for today's voting to begin.

The seat area in the uppermost outer circle is roughly divided into three sectors, namely the nobles in the south, the nobles in the north, and the nobles in the east of the empire.

It includes life-long nobles appointed by the monarch and serve for life, and the rest are more hereditary nobles who enter the House of Lords through inheritance of titles.

The inner circle factions leaning downward are more complex. They are elected or elected through provincial popular suffrage and represent various constituencies in the Protos Empire. Their main responsibilities are to formulate and pass laws and review decisions.

The distribution of seats in the inner circle is also related to the factions of the nobles.

After the seats were filled, the entire hall turned into a map of the factions of the Protos Empire.

For those big figures who are active in the imperial capital of Herom, it mainly depends on which side their positions or connections are deeper.

As the governor of the northern Snowfield Province, Rocky McCarthy is located on the lower right side of the chamber. For example, Duke Morodian Berenhard is on the left side of the chamber because the imperial capital is located in the south. Upper side.

As for the center of the hall, temporary seats were added to the three vacant areas, where the high priests of the three branches of the Resurrection Church were seated.

The seats of the high priests of the Tyrant branch and the mourning branch were all full. For some reason, only five high priests of the Annihilation branch were present today, including several high priests who were stationed near the imperial capital. None of the main force in the north came. .

The three bishops have all arrived and are standing in the open space in the center of the hall.

On the other side opposite to the seats of the nobles and ministers stood the throne of the Emperor of the Protos Empire, and not far away, sat an elf who seemed to be only less than 1.5 meters tall.

The emperor of the Protos Empire, Franklin III, looked very nervous sitting next to the elf, making it difficult to tell who of the two had a higher status.

As the holder of the [Original Slate - Light] and the strongest Protos Isis, who is also known as the Great Sage of the Empire, just sitting there exudes a formidable aura.

But there was no interest in anything on the elf's face. She just sat, cupping her cheeks, looking down at the group of members of the Protos Congress who changed over and over again.

Her meaning is also very clear——

You can pretend she doesn't exist.

But if anyone breaks the rules today, don't blame her for erasing them.

Even though today's voting is about to begin, there is still a lot of talk.

On the lower right side of the chamber, the area belonging to the northern nobles and parliamentarians, Earl Milford happened to be sitting next to Rocky McCarthy.

In fact, in the fixed area, the specific seats are not particularly reserved. When he came to the imperial capital of Helrom, his daughter Michura kept telling him that Rocky McCarthy was his brother-in-law and so on. He was confused and didn't know where Miss Hyperion, a priest from the Kingdom of Esther Terran, met such an amazing fiancé.

At first, the Earl of Milford was convinced that Michula was talking nonsense. But today, with the mentality of giving it a try, he talked to Rocky McCarthy who was sitting not far away. The other party chatted with him for a long time in a very cordial and friendly manner. , thanked him for his help to Miriam, and finally Rocky McCarthy simply sat with him, so that many of the surrounding northern nobles became full of respect for Earl Milford, because through just a few words, he It can be judged that Rocky McCarthy has a close relationship with the eldest daughter of the Milford family.

"..."

Hyperion, who had changed her appearance, was sitting on the left side of the hall where the Overlord Priests were sitting, feeling on pins and needles.

Looking forward from her point of view, she could just see Ranch and Earl Milford sitting on the right side of the hall opposite. The two of them really started chatting. Milford looked like he was caring for his daughter. Talking about marriage made her very embarrassed.

In addition, recalling how the Earl of Milford's family had taken care of her as a priest of the Church of Destiny a month ago, and recalling that she had now become the Overlord Archpriest, she felt like a fallen priest...

As time passed, outside Franklin Hall, the Capitol clock slowly pointed to nine o'clock and rang the bell.

At this moment, the heavy bells echoed in the hall, and each strike was like an echo of history, causing ripples in the calm air of the hall.

All the discussions gradually fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on the central high platform, where the election of cardinals of the Resurrection Church was about to officially begin.

The bell ended, and in solemnity, the elf slowly stood up.

Although she is petite, her presence is extremely strong, as if she is the center of the hall, and the eyes of all the empire's big shots are focused on her.

"Theoretically, before the official start of voting, there will be a presentation and speech session. The three cardinals of the Resurrection Church will have the opportunity to present their ideas and achievements in the past three months in any form. This will be their opportunity to A crucial moment for all the nobles, councilors and other dignitaries present to prove their worth and ability, so be it.”

She began to speak in a languid tone, her voice unemotional, each word clearly audible in the hall.

Then Isis sat down again and gave her time to the three cardinals.

The default order is from left to right, with the beginning being the time of the Tyrant branch.

Sigrid didn't intend to say anything herself, because she would only scare the nobles. She waved to the direct soldier Gloria to do it for her.

This kind of thing should be what the Son of God is best at, but today the Son of God has made it clear to her before the council started. He will remain absolutely neutral as a figure of the Protos Empire in the council today, and will not favor her in the slightest. As for Whether they can reach a tacit understanding depends on whether they are connected.
