The witch thought I am a Demon God

Among the three thousand ordinary princes, there are not only ordinary dukes, marquises and counts, but also a large number of bishops of the dioceses, these religious nobles.

And this is not all the princes in the empire.

Because the empire is still filled with tens of thousands of independent knight territories, most of the knights in the knight territories are just inconspicuous third-rate figures, but there may be one among these knights who is tired of the eternal life and is hiding in the countryside. The knight duke who muddles along in the region.

Therefore, in addition to the seats of the imperial princes and free cities, there is also a row of more standing seats-the seats of knights.

The majestic Imperial Parliament Hall is located in the Regenburg area, an area that completely excludes civilians.

Therefore, it is also called "Little Heaven", which is used to describe the elegance and luxury here and the luxurious habits of the nobility without any hint of poverty.

The seven electors and Emperor Oyo III entered the eight chairs in the center of the venue with grand ceremonies and solemn robes, as well as crowns and imperial crowns on their heads.

Among them, the specifications of Oyo III are the most exaggerated. The traditional small crown of the Holy Empire on his head is inlaid with a row of fist-sized sapphires and a row of fist-sized rubies. The entire crown is almost entirely made of gold. On the top of the luxurious crown There is also a diamond the size of a football.

The sunlight passed through the diamond, refracted and changed in it, making the emperor's surroundings colorful and forming a landscape of its own, very majestic.

The diamond is one of the most precious magic gems in the world, called the Reigenberg Diamond. Legend has it that people who wear this diamond will never age and can maintain an eternally young and energetic body until the last moment of their lives.

The emperor's crown robe is even more luxurious. The gold and silver threads on the crown robe have been soaked in magic potions for a long time. They have very strong immunity to physical damage and magic damage. They are embellished with various magics like the sun, moon, mountains and rivers. The small gem ensured that the emperor wearing this crown robe would never die of poisoning.

In fact, these are not the private property of Oyo III, but the accumulation of the Holy Empire. They are high-standard clothing that emperors of all generations have, mainly used to attend various important occasions.

These resources are used to make armor and weapons, which are obviously more effective, but they are made into loose clothing, which in itself is a way of showing off one's financial resources.

The Holy Empire under the governance of Oyo III could never be so luxurious. Only at the peak of the Holy Empire could it have such financial resources.

The young earls and marquis around Ivita exclaimed.

"The emperor is so magnificent. The clothes he wears can be worth ten of my territories. This is the emperor of our empire. I heard that this is just a small crown and a small crown robe. If it is the emperor's clothes when he ascends the throne, it will be more expensive than the emperor's clothes when he ascends the throne. This one is ten times more luxurious!”

"Compared with the electors and emperors, we are all just big shots in the countryside. It's so luxurious. We are also in the Imperial Parliament. I'm really ashamed. Lord Ivita, you are so low-key. , I believe that with your financial resources, if you want to change into better clothes, it will be easy."

Ivita said casually. "I am not the protagonist of this Imperial Parliament."

This kind of luxurious thing is for maintaining one's own majesty and for serving his subordinates. Since he is not the emperor of the empire, but only a member of the princes in the imperial parliament, there is no need to spend so much time on it.

And from Ivita's point of view, Oyo III seems to have unlimited glory, but in fact he is very frustrated.

Because he only sat in the middle of the electors.

The emperor should have been supreme, alongside the pope, or even above the pope, but now he was on an equal footing with the princes, which in itself meant the decline of imperial power.

The Holy Empire is not so much a country as a giant confederation of countries.

As the emperor and the electors took their seats, the duty of the Archbishop of Mainz, as the religious elector among the electors, was to convene an imperial meeting and hold an imperial meeting. After a set of procedural words, he very quickly Coming to the topic, after all, calling all the princes of the empire to hold an imperial meeting here is not a cost-free thing.

Everyone here is a big shot in the eyes of ordinary people outside.

Let this group of big shots gather in a building for a meeting, so they can't waste time uncontrollably.

The Archbishop of Mainz stood up and said: "The task of this imperial meeting is very important, and it is related to the future of the Magical Black Forest. But before that, some things have to be dealt with first."

Oyo III glanced at the Archbishop of Mainz in surprise, and then said: "Archbishop, if we can omit some links, we will omit some links. The current plan is to protect our faith and humanity."

The Archbishop of Mainz was an old man. He looked at the emperor with a smile on his face, nodded and said: "Your Majesty, your will is the will of the Imperial Parliament."

This is of course a cliche.

The electors have always had an attitude towards the emperor of "holding him up high and putting him down gently".

The key is that the current emperor may be universal and can look at the entire world, but their electorates are more realistic. Their eyes are only on the Imperial Parliament in front of them.

The Archbishop of Mainz said: "Our first topic is whether we can restore the status of the Elector of Alsace. Alsace took the initiative to break away from the empire during the period of Henry VII."

"But now that the original royal family of Alsace is back, should we restore the status of Elector of Alsace and deprive the Marquis of Regenburg, who acts as Elector of Alsace, of his acting right as Elector?"

As soon as these words came out, the Marquis of Regenburg, who was sitting and standing at the edge of the circular venue in the center, suddenly became nervous and looked up at Ivita, who was sitting next to the ordinary princes.

For the princes within the empire, the seating arrangement of this imperial meeting is a vanity fair. They want to get their seats closer to the front throughout their lives.

Because Regenburg is responsible for the venue and maintenance of the Imperial Parliament and can receive imperial tax allocations every year, Regenburg has a unique status. Therefore, after Alsace was absent from the electorate and became independent and wanted to establish an independent country, Regenburg Castle temporarily assumed the duties of the Elector.

And now, because of Ivita's return, Alsace may return to the electorate.

Thinking of this, the fat Marquis of Regenburg looked at Ivita with feelings of rejection and disgust.

Ivita glanced at the Marquis of Regenburg without knowing why, but didn't take it seriously. She didn't need to be afraid of a Marquis now.

‘Alsace is the most centralized of all kingdoms, a small Frankish kingdom so to speak. I'm afraid Alsace was originally the first of the eight electors. ’ Ivita thought: ‘Henry VII should have wanted to establish an independent country, so he went out independently. This may involve the transaction between Oyo III and him. ’

‘Hoyo III should have wanted to weaken the traces of Alsace’s presence in the empire as much as possible. ’

‘Now that this is mentioned in the first session of the Imperial Parliament, this should be the emperor’s instruction. ’

Ivita looked at Oyo III and saw that he was calm and composed, and knew that the emperor had known that such a thing would happen, and the result could be imagined.

He has never run the Imperial Council, so how could anyone in the Imperial Council speak for him.

But it's not a big problem.

His goal is the emperor, not Alsace to regain his position as elector.

Ivita also closed her eyes, as if it had nothing to do with her.

This surprised the princes around him. Why did this young monarch seem to be completely unconcerned about whether Alsace could become an elector again?

In their eyes, this is a very important issue.

Surprise flashed in Marquis Salhu's eyes. Ivita's indifferent behavior can be understood in many directions. One is that Ivita does not covet the position of elector and knows that her country needs to recuperate; It is most unlikely that Ta has no ambition; and Ivita's eyes are not just on the elector.

Thinking of this, Marquis Salhu crossed out the word "disagree" on his ballot and changed it to "agree".

As soon as he finished writing, the paper folded automatically. After a series of complicated folds, it turned into a paper dove and flew to the crystal box in the center of the Imperial Parliament.

Fifteen minutes later, the voting results came out.

The result was, of course, that Alsace was denied the title of Elector again and that Alsace was not recognized as a territory within the empire.

There was a rare lack of applause from the audience.

Even the band and the team invited by the emperor and electors to enhance the atmosphere were not moving at this moment.

After all, Ivita is sitting here now. Since they are all colleagues in the Imperial Council, there is no need to offend her.

Seeing this strange scene, Ivita turned to look at Emperor Oyo III. This guy must have some follow-up plan, otherwise the situation would not be so strange.

If the vote of the Imperial Parliament cannot be passed amidst the cheers and applause, how can the majesty of the emperor be shown? !

Sure enough, when the atmosphere was right, King Oyo III suddenly stood up and said: "Alsace left our Holy Empire due to internal political turmoil, but now the royal family of Alsace has returned, so I decided to use the emperor's privileges to Fight against parliamentary choice.”

Most of the princes observe the eyes with the nose, and the nose with the heart.

They were not surprised that something like this happened. The emperor had a conflict with the powerful princes, but the emperor would also have his own way to win over the princes who had conflicts.

The position itself will change at any time.

The Archbishop of Mainz was stunned for a moment and reminded Oyo III: "Your Majesty the Emperor, I want to remind you that even you only have the privilege of being an emperor three times a year. Do you need to use it here?"

The Archbishop of Münster is the elector who records the number of uses of the emperor's privileges and is responsible for managing the emperor's imperial palace and the records of the royal family's use of the imperial treasury. He is respected as the chief minister of the empire and one of the speakers of the three major parliaments of the empire ( The three religious electors are all speakers of the Imperial Parliament and have different responsibilities).

The Archbishop of Münster reminded Oyo III: "Once used, Your Majesty the Emperor cannot revoke it."

"Of course. I use imperial privileges to legally revoke the previous voting results and elect Alsace to re-enter the empire, if the monarch of Alsace also agrees." Oyo III looked at Ivita, his eyes bright, as if It's full of enthusiasm. "Maybe we were enemies once, but in order to protect the empire, we should put aside our hatred and become brothers together."

Most of the princes' eyes returned to Ivita.

Ivita didn't want to accept this, but she didn't want to be rude in public, so she could only say softly: "For the sake of the Magic Black Forest, we really should focus on the Black Death and the crazy Frank King."

Oyo III was also concerned, but Ivita didn't answer. Without the Frankish Kingdom and the Black Death, the two sides would have been irreconcilable enemies of life and death. Even if Ivita really wanted to reconcile with him at this moment, he would Yue Sanshi couldn’t believe it either.

Oyo III said: "As for the position of the elector of Alsace, we will put aside the dispute for the time being. It will not be too late to discuss it after the war is over."

Ivita was not surprised by this result.

Any benefit you can get is an unexpected surprise.

A smile suddenly appeared on the taut and fat face of the Marquis of Regenburg. In this way, they, Regenburg, could temporarily take over the title of Elector of Alsace.

But the next moment, Oyo III suddenly said: "But now that the king of Alsace has returned to the Imperial Parliament, the temporary electorate has become an action that cannot be done. Now the eighth electorate can be temporarily revoked, and only the seventh electorate can be temporarily revoked." Elect the emperor."

"What do you think?"

The smile that had just appeared on Marquis Regenborg's fat face suddenly disappeared.

The seven electors had already made private exchanges of interests with the emperor, and at this moment it was just a routine decision that had been discussed before.

"agree."

"Very much agree."

"We also agree..."

A smile appeared on King Oyo III's face, while Marquis Regenborg's fat face turned pale.

Yes, if the emperor can reduce one elector, he will reduce one elector.

This is the emperor's strategy.

The Archbishop of Mainz said: "Next, the second issue also needs to be resolved quickly by everyone. His Majesty the Emperor proposed to move the Imperial Parliament to the Imperial Palace in the Imperial Capital. What do you think?"

The Marquis of Regenburg looked at Emperor Oyo III in horror.

Is the emperor going to completely wipe out Reigenburg?

hateful.

When the seven Electors betrayed Regenborg, no one gave him any information. On weekdays, they all called themselves brothers, but at critical moments, they looked on with cold eyes.

Marquis Regenborg's red eyes widened, and he was filled with anger and fear.

Ten minutes later, the voting results came out, and the motion narrowly failed to pass.

The electors and the dukes with priority votes all supported Oyo III's motion, but the problem arose on the side of the ordinary princes.

Most of the ordinary princes voted not to pass. When the votes were finally tallied, the emperor's side unfortunately failed to pass with 0.5 points.

The seven electors all breathed a sigh of relief, with relaxed expressions on their faces.

Oyo III swept past the group of old foxes who had tricked him, and tightened his grip on the armrests of his seat.

Just when the entire imperial meeting was filled with intrigues and competition for interests, Ivita finally became impatient. He ignored the looks of the surrounding princes and said directly: "That's enough. There have been too many boring affairs in this meeting. With your administrative efficiency, even if the Black Death were infected into this meeting venue, you would still be voting slowly."

"The next game will go directly to the proposal against the Frankish Kingdom and the Black Death Army."

As soon as these words came out, the princes around Ivita were horrified.

The imperial conference, which was finally formed by the confrontation between dozens of countries, was solemn and unchangeable. At least for the small princes, they would not dare to think of talking like this.

But Ivita was not blamed by anyone.

One is that what he said is not unreasonable, and the second is that his status is extremely valuable now. To accuse him casually is almost equivalent to taking a huge risk.

There were even more princes watching the excitement among the seven Electors. Only the Archbishop of Mainz, the Grand Speaker who was responsible for presiding over the Imperial Conference, was a little unhappy. However, the old man did not say anything after all, but looked at Emperor Oyo III.

Oyo III looked at Ivita. "Then listen to King Ivita."

"Let's get to the point quickly, Archbishop, can you please skip those irrelevant questions first?"

The Archbishop of Mainz looked at the information in his hand, scanned it and said: "Okay. Anyway, the more important matters have been discussed. The next seventeen topics are all small matters, so let's move forward the last things Let’s hold it.”
