Kanae waited for a few hours before she saw her sister walked out of the mansion. The other elders were nowhere to be seen. Apparently, they still have some matters to discuss in the hall.
"Sis! Did you wait long?"
"Not really," Kanae replied unhurriedly. When Laura got close, she peered to have better look on her. Seeing the expression on the girl's face, she knew for sure what the result was. But still, it would do no good if she didn't ask.
"How's your feeling, Laura?"
"Pretty good," Laura grinned smugly. Her mind drifted back to the scene when the result was tallied.
'85% people pick Laura as their future successor.'
The smile on Sheila's face faded. She was looking towards the result with wide eyes full of disbelief. That.… that was impossible. She had clearly told them the connection she had, so they should be picking her. Why would they pick a young lady with no experience like this brat?
Do not worry, the note at the end of the chapter didn't increase the SS price :)
