Stop Hypnotizing Me, Antagonist Princess!

Chapter 431: Chapter 250: Public Trial Across the City (15,000 Words) (Part 8)

Actually, he was still rather confident about the voting outcome.

The women of the Silent Church have always been busy with matters related to the revival of the Bright Moon Goddess and haven’t aligned with any noble factions for a long time.

Meanwhile, the Fertility Church has always maintained a neutral stance, never showing any intent to participate in the King’s election ceremony, naturally not siding with the Great Imperial Princess Hillena.

It’s important to know that in such occasions, casting a supportive vote would naturally be seen as joining the faction of Great Imperial Princess Hillena.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, and everyone’s breathing rhythm slowed down significantly.

However, the next second, an unforeseen and incredibly absurd yet very real scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

This included Saint Laurent VI.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Cardinal of the Silent Church suddenly stood up with a calm expression and said, "We agree with the suggestion of Her Highness the Great Imperial Princess."

"?!"

Everyone gasped.

If it weren’t for Saint Laurent VI being present, the people would have started discussing chaotically.

The familiar nobles exchanged glances, revealing a common question in their eyes.

When did the Silent Church start siding with Great Imperial Princess Hillena?

If that’s truly the case, the Second Prince Felit’s advantage in this King’s election ceremony might not be so obvious.

"..."

Bishop Connor was equally baffled, trying to question the opposition silently with his eyes, wondering why the Three Great Churches’ forces chose not to be united, instead creating disputes over such trivial matters.

Yet the opposition never responded to him from beginning to end.

What exactly happened?

Bishop Connor frowned deeply, unable to fathom the situation.

However, there was still one vote in the hands of the Fertility Church, and due to the Fertility Church’s neutral stance, it was more inclined to cast an opposing vote.

Yet, just as similar thoughts arose, they were instantly slapped down.

The Bishop of Fertility glanced at everyone lightly: "The Fertility Church also agrees with Her Highness the Great Imperial Princess’s proposal."

The scene went extremely quiet again.

No one expected this voting outcome.

For a moment, Bishop Connor’s face showed a grimace, nearly losing his composure.

Even many nobles couldn’t help but whisper to each other.

"Has the Fertility Church also backed the Great Imperial Princess?"

"Looks like there are more uncertainties in this imperial election..."

The nobles who originally supported other princes began to have different thoughts.

Yet, Saint Laurent VI merely glanced at Hillena with some surprise, without much change in expression.

In his view, it was fine as long as the three churches weren’t united.

Judging from the Heavenly Principle Church’s stance, the result he wanted had already emerged.

As for whether or not the Holy Tree Judgement was a waste of time, he didn’t care.

Next, the unique authoritative voice of Your Majesty the Emperor suddenly resonated: "In that case, let’s proceed with Hillena’s proposal."

This statement settled the matter concerning Lynn’s situation.

Upon hearing it, Marquis Fred’s mouth gaped wide as if he had suddenly fallen from heaven to earth.

This was an unacceptable result for him.

He wished the little bastard would die immediately, wanting to consume his flesh, eat his bones, and sleep on his skin, never allowing him to rise again!

But now Saint Laurent VI had made the final decision, and he didn’t have the courage to continue opposing.

Because this matter had already surpassed the discussion phase, further questioning Lynn’s handling result would mean challenging the authority of Saint Laurent VI.

Similarly, until the meeting concluded, Bishop Connor left with a gloomy expression, unable to comprehend the matter as he boarded the carriage.

What exactly did the Silent Church and Fertility Church eat wrong?

Could it be that Hillena has won over these two churches, unifying their front?

...

Outside the Council Hall, inside a four-wheeled carriage.

Back in the carriage compartment, Great Imperial Princess Hillena’s tense expression finally relaxed.

Immediately afterward, she showed an incredulous expression, staring blankly at the reflection on the window, lost in thought.

Hillena actually didn’t know the whole story; she merely acted as a simple messenger, helping Lynn deliver two paper notes to the higher-ups of the Silent Church and Fertility Church.

It didn’t seem significant at the time, but now it appears that the entire event was under Lynn’s control from start to finish!

Strictly speaking, Hillena barely exerted any effort.

In the end, the performance of the Three Great Churches and Saint Laurent VI’s reaction and choice, and even his words were all within Lynn’s expectations, as if the whole situation had been unfolding according to Lynn’s wishes.

This was the reason for Hillena’s astonishment.

Initially believed to be a certain death, yet this young man has shockingly turned the tide with merely two paper notes!

Although the Holy Tree Judgement was also unfavorable for him, compared to Marquis Fred and others’ suggestion for direct execution, the current outcome was undoubtedly the best result.

It could be said that Lynn completely relied on his own ability to find a ray of hope amidst the abyss!

No!

Hillena recalled the events from last night in the prison cell and suddenly realized a crucial detail.

At that time, Lynn instructed her to propose the "Holy Tree Judgement" at an "appropriate" moment, handing her two paper notes to deliver to Saintess Tiya of the Silent Church and the Cardinal of Fertility Church.

Originally, Hillena didn’t think much about it, but upon reflection, she realized something was amiss... knowing that Lynn’s hands and feet were shackled at that time, the two paper notes must have been prepared by him in advance.
