"House Octavius chooses to abstain from voting," said Lord Asher.
"House Pompei chooses to abstain from voting," said Lady Sami.
"House Scara chooses to abstain from voting," said Lord Haiden.
"House Corius chooses to abstain from voting," said Lord Hugh.
The five house leaders all abstained from voting on the subject, but they did look at Grant with slight guilt and sympathy after abstaining.
Grant looked away from them and to the final person Lady Liberia Marshall, she was the one who proposed the vote in the first place, the fact that the others all abstained still gave him a chance to win if she voted for his proposal.
"I'm sorry Grant," she said sadly, "I vote against your proposal," she said with a heavy sigh.
Grant looked down with defeat, he couldn't break his part of the alliance without the others doing the same.
