The Ferdinand Family is the largest noble family in the Holy Alliance. They own four ports and have the exclusive right to operate more than 20 kinds of trading goods, among which at least four are rare in Gudilesi City. If they really fall out, the price of these four goods will increase by at least half. Who can bear the responsibility by then? What's more, the Ferdinand Family has the temple behind them. Archbishop Morteris is missing in Gudilesi City, and this matter has not been solved yet. If they offend the church … What is President D 'Addarion thinking? "
President Wood frowned, "Their fleet is not carrying any weapons. They are docking at the Gudilesi Port just to marry the lady of the Bretton Family. Everyone knows this. We have no reason to stop them from entering the port. This is contrary to the liberal policy that the university town has always pursued."
"But that lord is also one of the members of the Round Table Group of Seven. He holds a veto power in his hand. If he does not agree, this proposal will not be passed in the parliament." The inspector took the coffee from the secretary, stirred it twice with a spoon, and said calmly.
"Is there a problem with this?" Deputy President Sheldon was puzzled. "In terms of weaponry, the Ferdinand Family's fleet belongs to the level of a merchant fleet. According to the trade regulations of the Free city-state, they can dock at the port directly. It doesn't matter even if they don't have the approval of the city council."
Viscount Hutton sighed, "It doesn't matter at first, but Mograine insisted on doing this. Since he has sent a letter to the city council, it means that the diplomatic procedure has been initiated. If we reject him now, according to the latest version of maritime security law revised by the Free city-state last year, once the Ferdinand Family's fleet sails within 30 nautical miles of Gudilesi, it will be regarded as an act of aggression. The nearby Free city-state fleet and the city's land defense system should first fire a warning shot. If the fleet insists on advancing despite the dissuasion, they will face the fate of being directly sunk."
"So serious?" Deputy President Sheldon was stunned. He turned his head to look at the frowning Fatso on the other side of the hut. The latter was Councilor Stewart, who was in charge of foreign affairs in the university town. He was also the one who proposed the motion about the Ferdinand Family's fleet's request to dock. Initially, he thought it was just a formality in the parliament. He did not expect that D 'Addarion, who had been silent all this while, would suddenly choose to launch an attack at this time.
Stewart was very anxious now. Since he entered the house, he had been sitting there biting his nails. This matter itself was just a trivial matter. If the Ferdinand Family's fleet was going to enter the port, it would not be a problem if they did not inform the city council in advance. However, being rejected made things troublesome all of a sudden. Mograine came all the way to Gudilesi, but he could not enter the city. This was undoubtedly a serious humiliation for the Ferdinand Family. If it was not handled properly, it might evolve into a diplomatic incident. By then, as the main person in charge, he would definitely not be able to escape.
But this didn't make sense at all. What did the Ferdinand Family and the Bretton Family have to do with D 'Adarion? He had never heard of any grievances between the latter and the two big families. If it were before, everyone might have guessed if this was a melodramatic love triangle story.
However, the former had just gotten married last month, and his bride was Lilith, the vice president of the Gudilesi branch of the Magic Association. When the matter was exposed, many people were shocked. The first thing that came to everyone's mind was the image of an unscrupulous boss using his power to coerce female subordinates.
Because no matter from which point of view, the two of them were not a good match. Except for her cold personality, President Lilith was recognized as a goddess by the whole Gudilesi City. She had excellent working ability, a sense of responsibility and justice, and was serious and kind. On the other hand, someone was a disgusting otaku who only held a book and a costume kit on the sofa every day and laughed foolishly. He couldn't even tidy up his office. If it weren't for the former, the Association of Mages would have closed down long ago.
Therefore, when they learned that the two were married, most people were deeply shocked and felt sorry for Lilith.
Stuart had once secretly admired the female Magician, but he knew that he had no hope. His family background was ordinary, and although it had a long history, it had declined hundreds of years ago. Now, it was basically an empty shell. He could barely squeeze into the parliament, and he could only be in charge of the less lucrative diplomatic work. He did not dare to provoke the president of the Magician's Association.
However, what Stewart did not expect was that the other party did not seem to intend to let him go even though he did not provoke him. When he saw Deputy Speaker Sheldon looking at him, he wiped the sweat on his forehead and said hurriedly, "Yes, in principle, if this motion is rejected, then the Ferdinand Family's fleet cannot dock in Gudilesi. No, to be more precise, they cannot enter the area within 30 nautical miles of Gudilesi."
"What the hell is this? Is that guy doing this to disgust us? " Deputy Speaker Cutler had a bad temper, and he had long been impatient. "Let's just vote to deprive that guy of his seat in the parliament. In the future, we won't be disgusted by such messy things anymore."
"Then, this motion of yours will be vetoed by him with his veto." Speaker Wood shook his head. "Gentlemen, I gathered you here to solve the problem, not to listen to all of you complain to each other."
"But that guy can't be communicated with at all. The methods that you usually use are useless against him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come and gone as he pleases," the inspector said leisurely as he sipped on his freshly brewed coffee.
"Everyone here may not have a good way to deal with that guy, but I know someone who can definitely subdue him." Speaker Wood shifted his gaze to the sofa opposite him. The female mage was sitting there. She had heard all the discussion in the room just now, but she did not speak until Speaker Wood looked at her and nodded.
"Deputy President Lilith, I may have to trouble you again this time. After all, this concerns the diplomatic relationship between the Free city-state and the Sacred Alliance. If we let him continue to cause trouble like this, it will be very difficult for us. Only you can control him now …" Speaker Wood touched the armrest of the chair.
