Chapter 14 Love and Politics

Unlike the Kashyapa Empire, which ruled the Southern Continent, the Northern Parliament Alliance, which occupied the entire Northern Continent, seemed so fierce in terms of architectural style and folk customs. So more than a month later, when An Ruoran slowly walked down from the Yunlong chariot and saw the Marquis of Winter standing in front of him, his only feeling was "Big, it's so big!"

A mere Marquis' Mansion actually occupied dozens of acres of land, almost equaling the sum of several dukes' mansions in the southern continent. According to Winter's introduction, this is only a medium-sized mansion in Gould City, where the parliament is located, and it is simply incomparable to the Speaker Catherine's mansion, which everyone is about to visit tomorrow. Seeing this, An Ruoran could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, and walked in slowly with Naya in his arms.

"You may not know that the northern continent is vast and sparsely populated, so it is the same style in architecture." Winter led them to the living room and introduced with a smile. Because he had arrived in Gould City, Christine did not stay here with them, but went straight to her mother. This also made An Ruoran feel particularly lonely in this mansion, and only Naya, who was sniffing in his arms, could give him some familiarity.

Stop and walk, when Winter led An Ruoran all the way to visit and into the living room, it took nearly half an hour. Several servants served them to take a seat, but took an invitation from the round table beside them. Winter glanced a few times, suddenly frowned slightly and said, "Mr. An, Speaker Catherine invites us to attend a banquet tomorrow night, look..."

"No problem, this is not a difficult thing, why are you doing..." An Ruoran smoked the top cigar provided by the Marquis' Mansion, but suddenly moved his heart and smiled faintly: "I understand, can Miss Anne be invited to this banquet? Don't be nervous, you have been trained by my devil!"

When it comes to devil training, Winter suddenly shivered. It was an inhuman life! But then again, it was thanks to An Ruoran's inhumane training method. At least he is now sure that he would not faint when he saw Anne, and believed that he could barely do it with a few love words with a red face. While he was so glad, Naya also smoked a cigar and suggested with malicious intentions: "An An, let's combine Miss Anne's avatar with the naked woman's body. I think that can increase Winter's resistance..."

"Get out!" In addition to Winter, An Ruoran also included An Ruoran. Ruoran took back his feet without any reason, and An Ruoran patted Winter's shoulder and said, "Okay, you don't need to be too nervous, just do it according to our usual training."

"I know, but the problem is not here!" Winter touched his chin in annoyance and hesitated: "Mr. An, in addition to Miss Anne and I, there will probably be Marquis Rhine at the banquet tomorrow... Then, that is Speaker Catherine's nephew, and Miss Anne's suitor."

"Another suitor? Damn, you haven't told me about this." An Ruoran was stunned for a moment, and shook the ashes. "Winter, I'm afraid you want to tell me more than that! Listen, if you want to marry Miss Anne home, it's better to tell me all the details."

"Yes..." Winter sighed helplessly and finally told the whole truth of the matter. According to him, the Marquis of Rhine also had an impeccable appearance and had great means to pursue women. In addition, his kinship with Speaker Catherine also made him a dazzling political star. What's even worse is that Miss Anne seemed to favor the Marquis of Rhine more among many suitors, and seemed to have a tendency to accept him...

"Damn it, this is not good news, so we have to spend more effort." An Ruoran frowned tightly and looked at Winter, who was afraid to speak. After a moment, he suddenly pondered: "There is no other way. Let's observe tomorrow's situation first. In addition, tell me what Miss Anne likes the most, maybe we have to do some more articles on the gift..."

"Flowers!" There was almost no hesitation, and Winter immediately gave the correct answer and hesitated, "Mr. An, do you mean to send me flowers to her? If you need it, I will now ask the servants to buy hundreds... No, buy thousands!"

"It's not about quantity, but about quality." An Ruoran waved his hand and stopped Winter's temporary actions. However, after a moment of contemplation, he smiled and said, "Okay, you go buy some, the more the better! I suddenly thought of a very good idea, maybe we can do something on flowers."

Although he didn't know what An Ruoran was going to do, Winter immediately stood up. But while he ordered his servants to buy flowers, an old man in a gorgeous costume had already walked slowly into the living room with several subordinates. Winter was slightly stunned, but immediately met him, bowed and said, "Uncle Red, why are you here suddenly?"

"Because I heard you are back, I'll come to see you." The old man in his garment was about sixty years old, and his kind expression was somewhat similar to Winter. However, compared to the young Winter, his smile obviously had more scheming and his eyes were much more majestic. He looked at An Ruoran thoughtfully, and he suddenly stretched out his palm and smiled, "So, this is Mr. An? Perhaps, I want to thank you for helping my nephew pursue Miss Anne, which makes you laugh."

"You are polite!" He gently held Red's thin palm, but An Ruoran began to think about the meaning of these words. OK, even if Red seemed to love Winter very much, what is the need for a relationship issue worth the uncle himself, and he learned the news so quickly unless...

After chatting politely for a few words, Red then whispered in Winter's ear for a while, then said goodbye. When his figure disappeared from the entrance of the hall, An Ruoran immediately grabbed Winter's neck and shouted viciously: "Bastard, what else do you hide? Just be honest with me!"

At this time, An Ruoran did not believe that pursuing Anne was such a simple matter. As he expected, Winter finally sat at the round table with a frown and told all the inside story. It turned out that the so-called pursuing Miss Anne was actually related to the position of the next speaker of the Northern Parliamentary Union, and this started with the electoral system of the Northern Parliamentary Union.

"According to regulations, the Speaker changes every five years, and thirty-six members of parliament vote for elections." Touching the red mark on his neck, Winter confessed with lingering fear, "In the election five years ago, Speaker Catherine was re-elected by a slight advantage, defeating another candidate at that time, my uncle Red. This year, I encountered another five-year choice. My uncle Red planned to try it again, so I need to get the support of other members of parliament, and Anne..."

"Miss Anne, I believe her family has a high status in the parliament, so if you marry him, you can guarantee that your uncle will defeat Speaker Catherine." An Ruoran frowned slightly and slowly touched his chin thoughtfully. "I guess Christine must not know about this, otherwise she would not agree to let me help you. Wait a minute, I remember you seem to be serving Speaker Catherine, right!"

"I have always respected Speaker Catherine, but I can't help it when it comes to the family's orders." Winter shrugged helplessly and hesitated, "And I do like Miss Anne very much. Since the family is willing to support me in pursuit of her, I certainly won't object..."

"Enough, let me think about it first." An Ruoran interrupted him and began to think about the inside story of this matter. It seems that this matter is not as simple as imagined. Maybe he has to consider... Meow, don't care! Anyway, they can do whatever they want. They just need to complete the commission and get the Soul Stone!

As soon as she thought of this, An Ruoran suddenly realized that perhaps the easiest way to do this complex thing was to follow his own ideas. Almost at the same time, the attendant who was ordered to buy flowers had also rushed back and claimed that he had booked about two thousand flowers in a nearby flower shop. Wente breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to look at An Ruoran, and hesitated: "Mr. An, look at this..."

"I understand! Soul Stone plus a few rare materials, I will help you solve it." An Ruoran looked at him angrily and snapped his fingers at Naya who ran back to the hall: "Okay, Naya, we are ready to start construction! You have been eating but not working recently, and maybe this time it can be useful."

"Me?" Seeing An Ruoran's malicious gaze, the poor demon pig suddenly shivered, but before it ran away, An Ruoran had already stepped on its tail as if nothing had happened, and looked at Wenter with a confused expression and said, "Then, I need a quiet room, and don't disturb me until tomorrow's sunset. Don't worry, I believe that your flower gift will satisfy Miss Anne."
