Cesari looked towards Paul, speaking earnestly,
"Uncle, I think you should return to Corsica as soon as possible to stabilize the situation. Otherwise, by the next assembly, the voting will be even more unfavorable for you."
He was just short of saying outright that after the next vote, you would no longer be the leader of the Restoration Organization.
Paul paced anxiously back and forth in the room, shaking his head and muttering to himself,
"No, I can't go back! The French people must be waiting for me at the docks. If I go back, it's over for me…"
Cesari had no choice but to stress his point,
"Uncle, as far as I know, many of those who abstained believe the smears against you, but they were concerned that the organization couldn't afford to suddenly lose its leader, which is why they did not support Bartolomeo and the others."
At these words, Paul suddenly stopped pacing and turned to look at him, "What did you say?"
