"Russell Benjamin is the new President of the Chamber of Commerce?!"
The voting results came out, and not only Sir Draess, but everyone was stunned.
What happened?
Weren't most of the votes in the hands of the Liberal Party?
Why did Sir Draess lose?
The Marquis of Brecken was just as dumbfounded, with no clue as to what had happened.
"Impossible!"
The aged Sir Draess rose abruptly, his mustache quivering with anger: "There must be a mistake! How could I possibly have only 35 votes?!"
The Vice President, who was in charge of tallying the votes, also felt something was amiss and hurriedly had them recounted – oh, indeed there had been a mistake.
"Sir Draess 34 votes, Russell Benjamin 38 votes!"
Hearing the result of the recount, Sir Draess nearly fainted on the spot.
At this moment, he also began to realize that this election was anything but simple!
