Magic Underachiever

Peters' purpose in coming to Daliang this time was very simple, that is, to ask for an official position.

In his opinion, the Marquis Whitehead played a very beautiful game in establishing the Principality of Marsellus this time. He retreated to advance, seemingly handing over power, but actually retreating behind the scenes to remotely control.

The Socialist Party earned enough political capital for itself on the issue of accommodating refugees. In Saroyan, both citizens and refugees like this emerging party very much. The party constitution they proposed is also very much to the taste of the Marsellus people. Saroyan is the core and weathervane of Marsellus. Whoever Saroyan supports will have a greater chance of winning in future general elections.

When the new parliament is established, the old parliament becomes a thing of the past. When the whole Marsellus is talking about peace, whoever insists on fighting is the enemy of the whole Marsellus.

If Peters still wants to continue his political career, he must find another way as soon as possible. He knows very well that he will not get what he wants at the peace conference, but he can get it on the Elysee Avenue.

Before coming, Peters prepared a lot of arguments and imagined what kind of powerful position he could get, but he didn't expect that Master Liang would ask him to be the leader of the Socialist Party.

Peters asked in disbelief: "Master Liang, are you kidding?"

Daliang said: "What's there to joke about between you and me. Marquis Whitehead wants to be the Grand Duke of Marsellus. The Whitehead family nominally owns the entire Marsellus, but will not manipulate the parliament.

Marsellus will achieve true democracy.

I admire Marquis Whitehead very much. He just wants to show the Fleming Empire that the monarch and democracy can coexist. He did not betray his country. He is a great man who saved the Fleming Empire."

Daliang's words made Peters' eyebrows jump. He really didn't expect Marquis Whitehead to be such a person. People's impression of this iron-fisted governor is that he is a conspirator with a strong desire for power. It is really hard to imagine that he promised to give power to the parliament, and he really gave power to the parliament.

This is definitely a feat that can be remembered in history, and its significance is no less than the Saroyan Incident he launched.

After a long time, Speaker Peters sighed: "The Marquis's mind is really admirable, he is a great man."

Daliang nodded and said: "Yes, even I underestimated the Marquis. But since Marquis Whitehead does not intend to be a dictator, then there should be a capable person to lead the Socialist Party and the Principality of Marcellus.

You were the Speaker of the Marcellus Provincial Council, and you did a very good job. And the important thing is that we are acquaintances and family.

I am not as great as Marquis Whitehead, I ask the Principality of Marcellus to serve me.

Can you do it?"

Speaker Peters answered without hesitation: "I can do it."

The Marcellus Governor's Mansion was very quiet at night.

The Marcellus peace talks are going on in Saroyan. Representatives of the old parliament, representatives of the interim parliament headed by the Socialist Party, and representatives of the empire argued endlessly about the future of Marcellus, and the meeting process was marching towards the establishment of the Principality of Marcellus.

However, the military power of the National Defense Forces was still in the hands of Marquis Whitehead. Almost everyone believed that Marquis Whitehead would not really hand over power, and he would become the behind-the-scenes dictator of Marcellus. Therefore, many people came to visit the future owner of Marcellus these days, but they were all refused by the governor.

The officials and staff of the Governor's Office were gradually being dismissed and transferred, and most of the documents were being sorted and sealed, ready to be handed over to the parliament.

Marquis Whitehead sat in his study, with no lights on in the room. He was used to looking out the window in the dark, watching the various people coming and going outside the Governor's Office, and analyzing what they wanted from him. But this time, he was looking at the bright starry sky outside.

The door opened and Anne walked in from outside. She turned on the light in the room, walked gently to her father's side, and whispered: "I heard some of your decisions from Reed, and I also saw what you are doing. Your style of doing things is still beyond everyone's expectations, even I... I didn't expect you to give up power.

I always thought you like power very much."

Marquis Whitehead asked Anne to sit next to him, and said in a rare kind tone: "I do like power very much. That feeling is like an addiction, and people can't resist the temptation at all.

But if you want to gain power, you must make sacrifices.

In order to protect my family, I must ignore feelings. In order to protect my family, I must Let my beloved daughter receive the most brutal training.

Everything is for the purpose of gaining a higher status and more power. I used to think that as long as my power was great enough, I could change the empire and free it from the quagmire of corruption. But... it's too difficult...

How can the nobles who are still intoxicated by the sunset of the empire see that the graves under their feet have been dug?

The Duchy of Marcellus is the last thing I did for the empire. When the empire reached its last step, it at least had another way to choose... The Whitehead family still maintains its loyalty that has lasted for a thousand years, and we guard this outlet for your majesty. "

Anne couldn't help but stand in awe of the Marquis' words. When her father announced that he would establish the Duchy of Marcellus, she thought her father had really betrayed the empire, but now she realized that she had wronged him.

Betrayal is a stain that the nobles can never erase. Anne has not had a good life these days. She said sincerely: "Father, thank you. "

The Marquis said: "Don't think that the Whitehead family can enjoy themselves just because they are no longer involved in politics. You can't go back to the Imperial Navy. Then report to Master Liang...

It's really childish to fight with a group of low-level politicians in Marsellus, just like a child playing house.

In the future, the Whitehead family's journey is the interstellar sea."

It was not all his noble sentiments that made Marquis Whitehead willing to give up power. When he learned from Daliang that the Star Alliance existed and that the control range of the Star Alliance was so large that it needed to be calculated in tens of thousands of light years, the thing he fought for in Marsellus suddenly became boring.

So what if he could become the emperor of the empire? The land he ruled was not even dust in front of the universe.

Marquis Whitehead finally understood why Master Liang had a feeling of being out of the world, and he felt that what he had done before was just a child's trick.

After returning from the Avenue des Champs-Elysees, Marquis Whitehead had a new motivation to look up at the sky. He ended his duty to the empire with a period and began to think about how to carve the name of the Whitehead family on the starry sky.
