"Your Highness, Rakshasa, received 57 votes, and Her Royal Highness, the Princess, received 48 votes."
When the speaker announced the results, the entire venue was silent for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the supporters on Oni Rakshasa's side cheered loudly, while Oni Yunji's supporters all looked frustrated.
The difference between the two is a full 9 votes, an irrefutable gap.
This result was not unexpected. Ghost Rakshasa's actions during this period were obvious to all, quietly replacing voting positions with his own people.
The Senate, which was originally divided 50-50 by supporters of both sides, became divided 70-30 after he roped in two senators.
Because Gui Yunji couldn't figure out the life and death of the ghost master, by the time she realized it, the situation was already over.
Oniunji's supporters all know this, and they still hold on to the expectation that a miracle will happen.
But reality does not change according to human will, including monsters.
This result also made Oni Takizawa and the fox sisters' hearts sink, and they looked at Oniunji worriedly.
Gui Yunji had no expression on her face and sat quietly in her seat, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Hahaha!"
The ghost Rakshasa laughed wildly and felt that the evil spirit held in his heart was swept away.
So what if I came prepared? In the end, I didn’t win.
"Yunji, our strength has already determined this result since you prepared to fight with me, but your stupidity still made me waste a lot of time. You have to understand that you shouldn't take things that are not yours, because You do not deserve."
Ghost Rakshasa vented his proud words as a victor, and his proud voice resounded throughout the venue.
But no monster can argue, and Oniunji's supporters can only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
After spitting wildly, he walked up to the podium and was about to get the golden seal that represented the throne.
"etc!"
Oni Yunji, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke, making the atmosphere in the entire Senate suddenly become solemn.
All youkai are feeling nervous. Does Oniunji want to admit the election results?
Ghost Rakshasa stopped, looked back at her, and sneered: "Are you still not convinced?"
Oniyunji slowly stood up from her seat, with a smile on her face: "You'd better count the votes again to avoid such a despicable mistake like miscounting the votes in the first king selection meeting."
Jinjingzhan finally found an opportunity to speak again and shouted quickly: "105 votes is just right. Is the princess planning to slander our Senate for fraud?"
Oni Yunji didn't care about the opponent's criticism, but said a shocking sentence: "Of course the Senate will not cheat, but how do I remember that the total number of votes is 120?"
"What?"
The eyes of all the monsters in the venue suddenly fell on a few ballot papers placed aside.
This was the vote of Jiukihu and her men. Because the elders implicitly voted for them to abstain, they were not counted from the beginning.
Ghost Rakshasa's eyes widened with anger, and for a moment he wanted to rush over and destroy these ballots.
Wow!
But the speaker rushed over eagerly, even knocking over the chair, and picked up a few votes and opened them.
The expression on his face was first one of surprise, and then one of surprise that could not be concealed. He turned around and displayed Jiukihu's vote openly to all the monsters.
I saw that it was Oni Yunji's name clearly written on it, not abstention.
With a crash, the entire Senate erupted into an unprecedented noise, and the monsters were in an uproar.
Jiuguihu's vote alone was enough to overturn the result, let alone her subordinates.
This is simply a shocking reversal.
No one thought that Gui Yunji had such a back-up move.
Onitakizawa and the fox sisters were surprised and happy, and looked up at Oniunji, who had a winning chance. Even they didn't know when the princess convinced Jiukihu to vote for her.
The mood of Oniyunji's supporters was like riding a roller coaster. They were frustrated just now, but they were so happy the other way around. The cheers almost knocked over the ceiling of the Senate.
On the other side, the military representatives couldn't close their mouths and looked stunned.
What the hell, can this be overturned?
Tsui Tanlang looked surprised, and Iwamiya Ryu's drunkenness was gone, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's over, it's going to be chaotic."
At this moment, Ghost Rakshasa stood alone on the stage.
He felt like a clown, and the cheers below were like countless slaps hitting his face.
He was ecstatic when he found out that the ghost master was dead, and he spent a long time patiently arranging it, and then he lowered his face and tried to win over the military and the Senate.
All efforts were in vain in the end.
Filled with rage that almost burned out his rationality, Ghost Rakshasa suddenly raised his head and roared at Jiukihu: "Why should you support her?!"
The roar silenced all the cheers.
Jiuguihu sat motionless in his position, and the expression on his face did not even change much. He just said lightly: "This is my freedom."
That’s right, it’s Kukiko’s freedom to support whomever he wants.
But Oni Rakshasa has approached Jiu Guihu many times, asking her to support him, but Jiu Guihu has always made it clear that he will stand on a neutral stance.
But he didn't expect that he would be stabbed in the back today.
This is naked deception!
Oni Yunji had already left her seat, walked onto the podium, and walked past Oni Raksha towards Jinyin.
"stop!"
A sharp shout interrupted Oni Yunji's movements.
She slowly turned back and looked at her brother with red eyes: "Are you dissatisfied? You want to rob something that doesn't belong to you? Are you worthy?"
With a face full of questions, these words that she had just used to mock Oni Yunji were thrown back by her, which directly caused Oni Rakshasa to break her defense.
"I don't accept it, what a bullshit king-selecting convention."
The Ghost Rakshasa had a ferocious look on his face and shouted out what was in his heart, his voice resounding throughout the Senate: "Dignified Ghost Lord, why do you need the consent of a group of weaklings who are not even as powerful as yourself?"
As soon as these words came out, most of the monsters' expressions changed, but the military representatives took it as a matter of course.
Among monsters who respect strength, the system designed by the ghost master is inherently out of place.
But this can't be blamed on him. If you monsters want to develop and grow, they must have an orderly and healthy selection system, otherwise they will always be just a tribe that is constantly at war with each other.
The Ghost Lord also considered the possibility that the candidate would not admit it after losing the election. He was planning to come to the Senate to be the referee, and anyone who dared to disobey would be punished.
It's a pity that the ghost master died too early. Now that the ghost Rakshasa is openly dissatisfied, who can punish him?
Oni Yunji stared at him coldly: "This is the system established by my father. Do you want to rebel?"
"Rebellion means rebellion. I want to get back what belongs to me. Who dares to stop me?"
Ghost Rakshasa grabbed the royal uniform and tore it apart, revealing the fine armor underneath.
There was a crash, and the officers in the audience, led by Jinjing Tanlang, overturned the tables and chairs, stood up, drew out the weapons they carried,
On the other side, Umitsu Kaori and Tsukiko Hoshiki also stood up with their subordinates, ready to take action.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The other monsters looked at this scene in horror, as the civil war was right around the corner.
