(Author’s POV)
On the pristine white sheet, with bold black letters, there were two words, ’Silvia Silver.’ He shook his head again and spoke, "I guess now we do need an answer for my earlier question. Isn’t it?"
Everyone was shell-shocked to see Silvia’s name written on it, especially the person in question herself, who was left stupefied by his move. As she was sitting near him, she could clearly see two tiny heart signs around her name, which made her clench her jaw.
Vinicio’s eyebrows arched in amusement as he stated, "Now with my vote, it is a tie. How will we conduct the tiebreaker? Ohhh~ .... I know, I remember~ .... As his majesty cannot, the kid surely can do that in his stead, right?"
He then turned to Chris and questioned, "Where is he? I haven’t seen him since I came?"
All the Everests siblings’ curiosity piqued at his words. ’Kid? What kid is he talking about? There is someone else who holds power apart from them?’ Alaric thought. Brave was looking at Chris, whose expression was complicated. Meanwhile, Dion kept looking at others as their facial changes spoke volumes. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Before Chris could utter even a word, Brian snapped, "The kid has no authority over us whatsoever. A mere human being would decide the outcome for us? Hahhh~ .... Don’t joke around, Cardamone. Neither his vote nor his presence holds any significance in this matter."
Chris pursed his lips as he glanced towards the Everests siblings. They weren’t aware of who ’this kid’ was. Fabian’s original status wasn’t known to many for various reasons, but as things stand, he cannot conceal his identity for long. Maybe~ .... it would be better if they knew who he was and could support him. He thought.
"Why do you seem afraid of that kid? To me, he is a wise guy. I am sure he will vote for the best candidate," Vinicio commented. "So~ ... Secretary Shadow, where is he?"
Chris’s eyes flickered as he told him, "He is in his room~ .... sleeping."
"Sleeping? Him? Now? Vinicio verbalized with surprise.
"Actually, the infirmary doctor had just attended to him. He is running a fever and under the influence of the medicine," Chris explained.
"Ohho~ .... that’s sad. He must have been really stressed because of all this. Poor guy," Vinicio mumbled to himself. "What options do we have now?"
As they were still in the middle of the conversation, the sound of glass shattering echoed inside the living room, making all of them alert. It came from the side where Jacob’s room was located. All of them perked up from their seats, but Chris and the Vampire Elders were the only ones who walked there. The Everests siblings remained in the living room.
’Is this why Secretary Shadow called all of us here?’ Alaric mind linked his siblings. ’To be a witness to their mudslinging at each other?’
’More like catfighting .... Haha,’ Dion added. ’Too much drama~ ....’
’But~ .... Brothers? Who were they talking about? The kid, I mean?’ Nora questioned, her tone curious.
