Camille was not so arrogant as to completely ignore a congressman - the actual situation was that the time Levi chose to visit was unlucky.
Camille is not at the manor now.
Not only is Camille not here, Cagalli is not here either.
In this case, when Levi appeared outside the manor with an alchemy baron from Zaun and several heavily armed thugs and started knocking on the door, it was naturally not good for Feros Manor without a person who could speak volumes.
Get them right into it.
Especially when Levi was vague about the reason for his visit.
"I need to see the Gray Lady." When someone asked, Levi used a relatively euphemistic way of saying, "It concerns the future of this evolutionary city..."
Obviously, such vague words could not get him the right of passage. Helpless Levi could only stay outside the manor with Finn, pretending to look around until Camille returned half an hour later.
Camille seemed a little surprised to see Levi.
"Your Excellency Levi, and an... alchemist baron from Zaun, this is really an unexpected combination." After the door opened, Camille said in a rare surprised tone, "Please come in, it seems that it has been really good lately.
Not very peaceful.”
In the small room where she had formed an alliance with Heimerdinger, Camille took Cagalli and met with Levi in a relatively formal manner.
Then, from Finn's mouth, the Gray Lady learned in detail the amazing changes in Zaun during this period.
Unlike Levi's surprise, perhaps because he had heard the news a long time ago, or perhaps because he was not surprised, Camille did not show too much surprise.
"So, do the Zaun people want to attack the Sun Gate again?" Camille took a sip of the black tea in the cup and said in an understatement, "They haven't learned their lesson from the last failure.
What?",
"Piltwurf needs your protection." Levi did not answer the question directly, but kept his attitude very low, "Dear Gray Lady, sooner or later, Zaun's turmoil will spread to the entire Piltover.
I have no intention of opposing your strategy, but at this juncture, perhaps we should be more careful...at least not give those people an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"So, do you want the parliament to temporarily stop the reform?" Camille put down the tea cup and asked quite directly, "For the sake of pursuing stability?"
"Yes, in order to stabilize the situation, reform is necessary, but it should not be rushed." Levi nodded with a very sincere expression, "Personally, I do have a certain amount of investment in Zaun, but frankly speaking
, those investments have now been completely wasted...I am here today purely for Piltover."
Levi's words made Camille couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Her glowing eyes stared at the chestnut-haired guy in front of her, and for the first time, an unexpected and interested expression appeared on her face.
"If you are really thinking about Piltover." Camille's tone contained a hint of warning, "Maybe you should have come to me two days ago - before those stupid guys tried to unite
When we are together."
Camille's words made Levi's cold sweat quickly break out from his back. Under the well-tailored dress, Nashemela's silk shirt became soaked in the blink of an eye.
Two days ago, several congressmen who were dissatisfied with Camille's reforms did find Levi through private relationships, hoping that he could join them and use relatively mild means to oppose Camille's reforms and let this arbitrary leader
The Gray Lady suffered a little.
However, Levi had not yet made up his mind at that time, so he chose to wait and see pretending not to know about this hint.
And now... Levi was suddenly very happy that he was not hot-headed.
The Gray Lady even knows about this secret alliance!
"Don't be nervous, Mr. Levy." She said don't be nervous, but in fact Camille seemed to be happy to see the other party's awkward behavior. She picked up the cup again and happily took a sip of the thick drink.
Black Tea, "The fact that you are willing to stand here today at least shows that you are not stupid or incorrigible - if there were members like you in the parliament, Piltover would undoubtedly run much smoother."
At first glance, Camille's words seemed to be a compliment, a promise to Levi to continue to be a member of parliament, but the slightly teasing tone still made Levi feel on pins and needles.
This feeling of not having even a little secret was really too uncomfortable. Camille's twinkling eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her own heart.
For a politician, there is nothing worse than this.
Therefore, Levi could only nod his head in agreement, nothing more.
"I said, don't be nervous." Camille put down the tea cup, "When I was a child, my father once taught me a truth - for a part, no matter how ugly or unlovable its design is,
, but as long as it is irreplaceable, no one will give it up, and I always think this statement makes sense."
"Yes...yes." Levi nodded again, and then changed the topic a little stiffly, "Just like Zaun, even if it is dirty and messy, we still need it..."
"It's not Zu An, it's you." Camille didn't give him a chance to continue practicing Tai Chi. "And, to be honest, your chestnut hair is very flattering and always reminds me of an old friend."
"That's my honor..."
"..."
"..."
After drinking a lot of tea, Levi hurriedly left Feros Manor without asking who his old friend was.
For this congressman, what he needs to pay attention to is not the Gray Lady's old friends, but his own future.
Levi originally thought that through this Zaun incident, he could approach Camille in a relatively independent manner without leaving any trace. While making choices, he would also leave a little buffer for his future.
But after facing the Gray Lady, this little calculation that was originally made loud and clear was quickly thrown out of the window by Levi.
This time, Levi was fully aware that in front of the Gray Lady, the so-called alliances of other congressmen were nothing but self-destruction.
The Gray Lady is even more aware of their plan of destruction than the planners of the plan!
Under this situation, Levi abandoned his position without hesitation and completely fell to the Gray Lady.
Although he is still not sure what position he will be in after Piltover undergoes a change.
But at least judging from the current situation, I am much better than those stubborn colleagues.
As for Zu An...
If Levi was still vaguely worried because of the sudden change in the situation in Zaun, after meeting Camille, he was full of confidence.
Levi, who was still silently mocking Finn in his mind while waiting to enter the manor, didn't realize that his appearance after meeting Camille was exactly the same as Finn's appearance after meeting him.
