An hour earlier...
Leonard is currently at the Sun Palace to face his father, Emperor Eliador, Caspian De Eliador.
"So you mean, you can ally yourself with the Zacard family without having to have a wedding?" Ask the Emperor.
"Yes Your Majesty. In order for His Majesty to believe it, I will prove to you that I can cooperate with the Zacard family and control the condition of this country." Leonard tries to get his father's approval.
"Try to explain how?!" The Emperor's orders were curious.
"By passing laws that most of the nobles might oppose. Draft Law on the inheritance of titles for women." Light Leonard then.
"It was a Draft Law that was very impossible to approve. But it's also good to test your skills. All right, just go ahead with your plan at the next Legislative Assembly." The Emperor approved Leonard's request.
Then go back to this moment...
"Eventually everything went according to what Her Highness the Princess said." Vianty.
"Yes, but it's still the beginning." Louisse Sahut.
"Will but passing the Draft Law is not an easy thing. Because we need half of the House of Representatives' approval." Said Leonard who immediately made the three of them think hard to find a way out.
"Hm... For the time being the allies of the Willhem family (the Queen family) filled the positions of more than half the members of the Representative God." Vianty.
"Then those who are members of the Queen's family will not be able to accept the Draft of this Act." Leonard.
"And there is no guarantee that people who are against the Willhem family will agree with the Draft Law that we propose." Louisse said.
"There's actually one more way and I've actually been thinking about it for a while. What if we ask for help from the House of Commons?" Vianty said that immediately made Louisse and Leonard's eyes wide open.
"Ah, that's right!" Excited Louisse who just remembered something.
As an explanation... In this country the Legislative Council is divided into two parts, the Noble House of Representatives and the House of Representatives. The number of votes from the Vice Nobles and People's Representatives chosen from each region is determined based on the population. Different from the Vice Nobles who can have five ballots if the population is many. The People's Representative has only three votes. Unlike Vice Nobles who are elected through the inheritance system, the People's Representative is chosen through a general election. There are only two kinds of campaigning that can be done in this day and age that there is no television to do a debate show. Speech and spread money. To get support and popularity they will distribute money through food or so on to people who are on the street randomly. The purpose of holding the People's Council so that the people can also voice their opinions in politics, but in reality they become puppets who get support from the nobility.
"It has been a long-standing tradition that the elected People's Representative with the support of a well-known family will automatically become the family's dog. Pretty sad reality, but how else? Then... Ahah! If it's about the power of treasures, we won't lose either!" Louisse thought as he stared at the twinkle towards Vianty who was sitting next to him.
"But we're definitely going to spend a lot of money on elections." Leonard said he felt he could do that.
"If it's a matter of funds, you don't have to worry Your Majesty... My money from the business is pretty much. Some of the money I collect just in case it is today." Vianty said very proudly.
"Bah... You are so amazing Lady." Louisse clapped his hands in amazement at Vianty's ability.
"From the beginning I had expected that the election must have been about money." Vianty said sure.
"Hohoho... Money is the best." Louisse.
"Bright... They both look like bandits." Leonard muttered as he shuddered at the two women in front of him who looked like criminals who would do something with money.
"If it's a matter of nobility not taking sides with the Willhem family, let me persuade him. Because even if the voice of the People's Representative has all been combined, it will not exceed the voice of the Vice-People and we still need the voice of the Vice-People who are left aside from the Willhem family." Leonard.
"So we still need a little more noise." Vianty.
"The only remaining nobles are not from the Willhem family." Vianty.
"Gee! How is this? We can make the Vice Nobles of the Count Aswan family be on our side." Louisse's Idea.
"Of course it is... Since the territory of Count Aswan was quite vast, they had five voting rights. We have a chance of winning if we manage to embrace them on our side!" Vianty seemed to agree with Louisse's idea, but not with Leonard who seemed to disagree.
"Louisse... If we think about Julian, it's good we don't touch Count Aswan's family." Leonard reminded Louisse.
"I know that too. The current head of the Aswan family is Sir Julian's older brother, Zack De Aswan. And their relationship is not good.
