Chapter 535 Becoming the Imperial Emperor (End)_2

Even if the Duke of Pulphaz became the Emperor, Louis XI would have torched him the next moment.

The Archbishop of Cologne dared not offend Ivita and could only say to him, "I'm sorry, Lord Ivita. We are also keen on you becoming the Emperor, but within the Cologne Archbishopric, we have our own views and opinions. In our internal vote, we stood by our traditional allies, but this does not mean that the Archbishopric of Cologne has any objections to you. Perhaps next time we will cast our votes for you."

"After all, you are so young, while the Duke has already traversed much of his life's journey."

Ivita nodded at him. "I understand, you don't need to pay back the money."

"My lord Duke, please be patient."

Ivita had anticipated such situations long before, as the Electors with voting rights always liked to switch allegiances at critical moments.

Or rather, had this not happened, he would have found it odd.

But it didn't matter.
