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

"Yes, I know I can't compete with you, Elsa-sama, so I was a little bit... tricky? Are you satisfied with this statement, Your Highness?"

"Hmm..." Elsa sighed after hearing that. "Do you really want to be with Orson?"

"..." Olivia was stunned for a moment, then her pretty face turned red. "What does Your Highness mean?"

"Don't you think so?" 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 dormitory, they would come here again in the evening to watch the student union election.

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

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

Time soon came to evening, and only a thousand first-year students were left in the auditorium.

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

The student union election adopts a differential election, with a total of three positions to be run for election.

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

One person can only run for one seat.

As for the candidates for the president, they are Orson, a sophomore, and Elsa, a sophomore.

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

There are quite a lot of people running for the executive director position this time, a total of ten people.

After the student union election is completed, the student union president will nominate other members of the student union to form the leadership team of this student union.

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

The position of executive director is more worth talking about.

The standing directors are mainly responsible for school discipline issues, and after one election, there is no need for annual elections unless the standing directors graduate or resign voluntarily.

The previous executive director left the position vacant after the fourth grade graduated.

In addition, the executive directors have the power to impeach the president. If the president violates the rules of the institute or undermines discipline, the executive directors will lead a vote to impeach the president.

At this time, the candidate has already sat in the front seat.

Orson and Elsa sat in adjacent seats.

Orson looked at the girl with long blue hair beside him. Should he say that she was worthy of being the princess of the empire? Her stunning appearance made Orson hold his breath for a moment.

Clear blue hair and emerald eyes are the characteristics of the Lancaster family bloodline. It is said that the darker the color of the pupils, the stronger the inherited ancestral bloodline.

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

"Keep staring into my eyes. Is there something wrong?" At this time, Elsa turned her head and looked at Orson. "Mr. Orson."

"I'm sorry, Princess." Orson said this and apologized to Elsa.

"That's fine. Master Orson must have heard that rumor before." Elsa smiled. "I'm sorry, that's just a rumor. There's no such thing as the darker the eye color, the stronger the bloodline."

"Ahem." As the president of the school council who must attend and preside over the student union election every year, Dean Luca also stood on the podium and began to announce the results of this election. "The student union election has begun. We will elect executive directors, vice presidents, and presidents in the order of election."

Then the executive director was elected, a man who looked

The timid brown-haired young man was Manuel Lisanus, the second-year student No. 004, from the Lisanus family, the ruling family of the Duchy of Aragon.

Afterwards, Olivia was chosen as the vice president without any suspense.

"Finally, it's the election for the student union president. There are two candidates, one of whom is Orson, a sophomore." As Luca said this, Orson stood up from the front seat and bowed to the person behind him, drawing applause.

"The other one is Elsa from the second grade." After Luca finished speaking, Elsa also stood up, looked behind her with a smile, and bowed to her classmates.

"Next, announce the results of the vote count for both people."

"The total number of votes is 2,999."

"Elsa got three hundred and fifty-four votes."

"Orson got 2,530 votes."

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

"I declare that Orson is elected as the new president of the Student Union." Luca said this and tapped the table lightly with his gavel, declaring it effective.

"Congratulations, Orson." Elsa said this and congratulated Orson without any hesitation.

"Ah, thank you." Orson said this, stood up, walked to the podium, and prepared to give his speech.

Chapter 50: Eighteen Years Ago

Eighteen years ago, there was no Duchy of Antica.

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

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

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

Because the city of Antica had just been besieged from three sides by the orc army, leaving only this direction for escape.

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

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

After running for about two hours, Marcus heard a baby crying in the rear carriage.

He was startled and then looked back into the car.

Inside the carriage, Lady Margaret closed her eyes and her chest stopped moving, while the midwife cleaned the child and wrapped him in a cloth.

Marcus then asked, "Midwife, what's going on?"

The midwife shook her head helplessly.

"The child was born, a girl, but my wife didn't make it..."

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

"Yes, sir!" The surrounding cavalrymen nodded when they heard Marcus' message, and turned their horses' heads and rushed towards the enemy pursuers behind them.

Marcus drove the carriage for more than ten miles and arrived outside a village. He looked at the surrounding terrain, then stopped the carriage, took the child from the midwife, and then looked at Margaret. He made up his mind, 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, went to the woods, and rushed into the woods holding Lucius' daughter.

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

The newborn baby had stopped crying by now and was looking at Marcus curiously.

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

Then, he saw that the place was suitable. The woods happened to be next to the village fields, and the farmers should be out farming, so the child would be found soon.

By then, when the news of Lucius looking for the child gets here, the villagers who realize that the child is extraordinary will probably offer their children for a reward.

Thinking of this, Marcus took one last look at the general's daughter, 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 quickly, the enemy is catching up with us."

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

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

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 sword.

As for the identity of the general's daughter, it's enough for him to know it alone.

One more person could lead to intelligence leakage and the killing of the general's daughter.

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

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

In a basement, he was doused with cold water and woke up.

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

"I didn't expect that the ones who helped the orcs attack the empire were actually humans..."

"Yes." A man in gorgeous noble clothing nodded calmly. "Now that you know that I helped the orcs, can I ask you where Lucius's child is?"

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

"I'm sorry, General Lucius is a young talent in the imperial army and an absolute supporter of the emperor. As an opponent of the emperor, it is impossible for me not to know his intelligence."

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

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

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

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

"Yes." He nodded. "Let me ask you, is the Duke's child a boy or a girl?"

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

"Pa." Before he could finish his words, a slap hit Marcus in the face.

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

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

"Heh, 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 guards, Marcus naturally knew every soldier.

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

"You're talking nonsense! You don't have any family at all. You mentioned that to me. You just are after their money! You're a treacherous traitor! You deserve to go to hell!" Marcus gritted his teeth, stared at the man in front of him and cursed.

"We also found that you killed a midwife in a certain place. Do you think you can disguise it as a place where babies are abandoned and fool 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 has no grudge against you!"

"I don't know if he has any grudges against me, but he is Lucius' son." The man said, then he laughed and leaned towards Marcus. "Tell me where he is, and I can let you go."

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

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

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

Having said this, the elegant man walked out.

Then, several executioners walked in from outside.

Marcus looked at the shining knife at his neck and a smile appeared on his lips.

General, Madam, I have protected your children for you...

Hopefully she can thrive in the future and avenge us.
