Chapter 301

"But it was you who encouraged me to run for president."

"Yes, I know that I can't compete with you, Your Highness Elsa, so I did something... bad? Are you satisfied with this statement, Your Highness?"

"Well..." Elsa sighed after hearing this. "Do you really want to be with Orson?"

"..." Olivia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her pretty face turned slightly red. "What do you mean, Princess?"

"Isn't that what you think?" Elsa looked at Olivia. “You can learn more by working and studying with Orson.”

"Ah, that's true." Olivia nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

After the opening ceremony, the students dispersed. The first-year students were the busiest. After preparing for the dormitories, they would come back here in the evening to watch the student union election.

Three thousand candidate lists for the student union election had already been produced and distributed to all students in the three grades except the first grade. Then, the distributed candidate lists were collected in the evening, and then the counting of votes began.

Although first-year students do not have the right to vote, they need to serve as witnesses for the establishment of the new student union.

Time soon came to night, and only a thousand students from the first grade were left in the auditorium.

Under the stage, several staff members had already started counting votes based on the tables collected.

The student union election uses a margin election, with a total of three positions contested.

President of the Student Union, Vice President of the Student Union and Executive Director of the Student Union.

And one person can only participate in one quota.

As for the candidates for president, they are second-year Orson and second-year Elsa.

The candidates for vice president are second-year Olivia and third-year Liszt.

There are more people running for executive director this time, a total of ten people.

After the election of the Student Union, the President of the Student Union will nominate other members of the Student Union to form the leadership team of this session of the Student Union.

As the name suggests, the vice president is mainly responsible for assisting the student president in his work.

The position of executive director is more worthy of mention.

The executive director is mainly responsible for school discipline issues, and after an election, unless the executive director graduates or voluntarily resigns, there is no need to hold an annual general election.

The last executive director left this position vacant after graduating from fourth grade.

Moreover, the executive director holds the power to impeach the president. If the president violates the rules of the institution or corrupts the conduct, the executive director will take the lead in initiating a vote to impeach the president.

At this time, the candidates have already sat in the front seat.

Orson and Elsa were seated next to each other.

Orson looked at the girl with long blue hair next to him. She was indeed an imperial princess. Her stunning appearance made Orson couldn't help but hold his breath for a moment.

Blue hair as clear as water and blue eyes like emeralds are the characteristics of the Lancaster family bloodline. It is said that the darker the eye color, the stronger the ancestral bloodline that one has inherited.

Orson thought so and leaned forward, trying to see Elsa's eyes clearly.

"Keep staring at my eyes. Is there anything wrong with it?" At this time, Elsa turned her head and looked at Orson. "Master Orson."

"I'm sorry, I was rude, Your Highness Princess." Orson said, apologizing to Elsa.

"It doesn't matter, Mr. Orson must have heard that rumor." Elsa smiled, "Sorry, that's just a rumor. There is no such thing as the darker the eyes, the stronger the bloodline."

"Ahem." As the president of the school council who must attend and preside over the annual student union election, the dean of the college, Luca, also stood on the podium at this moment and began to announce the results of this election. "At the beginning of this student union election, we will conduct elections in the order of executive director, vice president, and president."

Then the executive director was elected, a man who seemed to be innocent.

Gou's brown-haired young man, he is second-year student No. 004, Manuel Lisanus, from the Lisanus family, the ruling family of the Dukedom of Aragon.

Then, Olivia won the vice president without any suspense.

"Finally, there is the election of the student council president. There are two candidates for the student council president. One is second-year student Orson." Luca said so. Orson stood up in the front seat and bowed behind him, which attracted a round of applause. .

"The other one is Elsa, a second-year student." After Luka said, Elsa also stood up, looked behind her with a smile, and bowed to her classmates.

"Next, announce the vote counting results of the two people."

"A total of 2,999 votes were received."

"Elsa gets the vote, three hundred and fifty-four."

"Orson got the vote, two thousand five hundred and thirty."

"In addition, there were one hundred and fifteen abstentions."

"I declare that Orson has been elected as the new student union president." Luca said this and tapped the table with his gavel to declare it effective.

"Congratulations, Orson-san." Elsa said this, congratulating Orson without any grudge.

"Ah, thank you." Orson said, stood up, and walked to the podium, ready to deliver his speech.

Chapter 50: Eighteen years ago

Eighteen years ago, there was no Duchy of Antica.

Outside the city of Antica, a carriage was speeding on the road.

Dozens of cavalry were guarding the carriage, and the one driving the carriage was a man wearing an officer's helmet.

They are General Lucius's subordinates, and they are now protecting the general's wife Margaret, who is about to give birth, from Antica.

Because Antica was just besieged from three sides by the orc army, leaving only this direction to escape.

Officer Marcus is General Lucius's most loyal comrade-in-arms and loyal retainer, and therefore, Lucius arranged him to protect his family.

The other soldiers here are also the most loyal soldiers to Lucius.

After running for about two hours, Marcus heard the cry of a baby in the carriage behind.

He was startled, and then looked back into the carriage.

In the carriage, Mrs. Margaret closed her eyes, her chest was no longer moving, and the midwife cleaned the child and wrapped her in a piece of cloth.

Marcus then asked: "Midwife, how is the situation?"

The midwife shook her head helplessly.

"The child was born, a girl, but the lady, she didn't make it..."

"I know." Marcus nodded.

However, before he could grieve, the cavalrymen around him said, "That... Commander Marcus, there is a cavalry unit behind us rushing towards us..."

"I know." Marcus nodded, and then said loudly: "Soldiers, now is the time for you to protect the general's wife and the general's son. You stay behind, and I will evacuate with the Duchess and the son first!"

"Yes, sir!" The cavalrymen around heard Marcus's message, nodded, and turned their horses to rush towards the enemy's pursuers behind.

Marcus drove the carriage for more than ten miles and came to a village. He looked at the surrounding terrain, then stopped the carriage, took the child from the midwife, and then looked at Margaret, hardened his heart, took off the jade bracelet on Margaret's hand, and stuffed it into the cloth wrapped around the child.

Then, he jumped off the carriage, came to the woods, and rushed into the woods with Lucius' daughter in his arms.

"Forgive me, child, this is the only way to keep you alive. I can't take you away, I really can't..." Marcus said this and kissed the child's forehead.

The newborn baby had already cried at this moment and was looking at Marcus curiously.

"Child, you must wait until the enemy pursuers pass before crying, I beg you..." Marcus said this, anxiously almost crying.

Then, he saw that the place was almost right. This forest was just next to the village's fields. The farmers should come out to farm, and it won't be long before they can find the child.

When the information about Lucius looking for the child is passed here, the villagers who realize that the child is extraordinary should offer the child for a reward.

Thinking of this, Marcus took a last look at the general's daughter, and then returned to the carriage with tears in his eyes.

At this moment, the midwife had already walked down from the carriage. When she saw Marcus coming back, she looked at him anxiously.

"Sir, where have you been just now? Let's go, the enemy is about to catch up."

Marcus nodded, and then looked at the midwife. "You should go quickly, I don't want to drag you down."

"Yes." The midwife nodded, and then turned around and prepared to run away.

However, before she took a few steps, a long sword pierced her chest.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Marcus said this, choking and pulling out the long sword.

As for the identity of the general's daughter, as long as he knew it alone, it would be enough.

One more person could lead to intelligence leakage and the general's daughter being killed.

After making a difficult decision, he mounted the horse, turned the horse's head, and drove the carriage away again.

Finally, he was caught by the pursuers outside a small town, and then captured.

In a basement, he was awakened by cold water and then woke up.

Looking at the people in front of him, he sneered.

"I didn't expect that it was humans who helped the orcs attack the empire..."

"Yeah." In front of him, a man in gorgeous aristocratic clothes nodded calmly. "Now that you know that I helped the orcs, can I ask you where Lucius's child is?"

"How...how did you know..." Marcus looked at the man in front of him in surprise.

"Sorry, General Lucius is a young talent in the imperial army and an absolute emperor faction. As an opponent of the emperor, I can't be unaware of his intelligence."

"When my people rushed to the carriage, there was no baby in Lady Margaret's belly. So I want to ask, where is the baby?"

"You beasts, you didn't even let go of the lady's body..." Marcus cursed.

"Okay, I know you won't give out this information, so I'll ask a rough idea. As long as you answer truthfully, I will let you go."

"Really?" Marcus looked at the man in front of him and showed a hopeful look.

"Yeah." He nodded. "I'm asking you, is the Duke's child a boy or a girl?"

"It's a girl, and she has inherited the Duke's purple eyes..."

"Pah." Before he finished speaking, a slap hit Marcus in the face.

Marcus was stunned, and then looked at the man in front of him and exclaimed:

"Sir, I really didn't lie to you..."

"Hehe, do you think I don't know whether you lied to me or not?!"

As he said this, the man waved at the door, and then a man in military uniform walked in.

Marcus was stunned the moment he saw the man.

"Alexius, you!"

The man in military uniform in front of him was one of the dozens of cavalrymen who escorted Margaret's carriage at that time.

As the captain of Lucius's personal guard, Marcus naturally recognized every soldier.

"Sorry, Commander Marcus, I, I don't want to, but they arrested my family..."

"You are talking nonsense! You don't have any family at all. You mentioned it to me. You just took a fancy to their money! You are a traitor who betrays your loyalty! You deserve to go to hell!" Marcus gritted his teeth and stared at the man in front of him and cursed.

"We also found that you killed the midwife in a place. Do you think you can disguise it as a place where babies are abandoned and deceive us?" The man in front of him smiled. "You are not good at making disguises, Marcus."

"You, what are you going to do to the general's son!? He is just a child, and he has no grudges with you!"

"I don't know if he has any grudges against me, but he is Lucius' son." The man said this, laughed, and put his face close to Marcus. "Tell me where he is, and I can let you go."

"Bah!" Marcus spat at the man's face, and then gritted his teeth and said: "I won't tell you! I won't let you go even if I become a ghost, you scum who deserve to go to hell!"

"Okay, okay! You have guts!" The elegant man wiped the saliva on his face, pointed at Marcus angrily, and then looked at the soldiers outside the door.

"Come here, since Captain Marcus is unwilling to tell the truth, then you should treat him well and send him off!"

As he said this, the elegant man walked out.

Then, several executioners walked in from outside.

Marcus looked at the bright big knife on his neck, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

General, Madam, I have helped you protect your child...

I hope she can thrive in the future and avenge us.
