Five votes against, two votes in favour, the proposal to expel or exterminate the abyss wanderers did not pass.
After disconnecting the teleportation array call, Guliani paced back and forth in deep thought. The attendant who had been present throughout the entire meeting asked in bewilderment, "Your Majesty, you clearly cast a vote in favour, so why say it was against?"
"Why do you think?" Giuliani paused, asking with a slight probing tone.
After some reflection, the attendant said, "Are you afraid outsiders will know of our internal discord?"
Guliani shook his head: "Will others not know of our discord? Anthony is almost ready to raise his own flag and establish a new church."
"Are you trying to suggest that we will deal with the undead ourselves without the need for others to vote?" the attendant asked further.
Guliani still shook his head.
"Then you are trying to find out who cast the opposing vote?"
