The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 143

Chapter 143

The King commanded the attention of the room as he spoke, “To be honest, I was going to push for a permanent appointment of ministers today. Seeing that it is unwise to do so when the verdicts of the arrested ministers have not been reached yet, I must withdraw my prior intention. It is also an indisputable fact that a more democratic nomination and appointment would require a notable period of time. As many of you have pointed out, time is something we don’t have. We need creatures to stand in now.”

“But clearly, not all of us agree with who we shall appoint for the vacant positions, so, as always, this matter shall be put to a vote. Yes, Alivia?” Xandar noticed Alivia’s raised hand so he granted her permission to speak.

Alivia smiled pretentiously and said, “Your Highness, don’t you think it is unjust to put such matters to a vote when a significant number of our colleagues are absent as they fight off corruption charges?”

The King responded without needing to think, “It is their absence that made today’s meeting necessary, and a vote necessary as well. These are temporary measures. If they can be proven innocent, their positions will be restored.”

Xandar could say this so calmly because he knew it was unlikely that those four ministers would get a get out-of-jail gift card from the court. The evidence piled against them would undoubtedly destroy them.

Harold then said, “With much respect, my King. Perhaps we should keep the right to vote among members who have been serving for the past five years.” That meant Lucianne and Annie would not be allowed to vote.

Xandar tried to focus on his mate’s small thumb as she stroked his hand when he asked, “What reason do you have for preventing the Queen and Duchess from voting, Harold?”

Duchess has not been with us in almost two decades. Forgive me for suggesting this but her sudden presence seems to be for tactical purposes. It is as if she is merely here because her vote is
