Oath

Hendrickson eyed Logan for a second while the latter gave a nod, indicating that it was fine to continue.

"I said there were three reasons, didn't I?" Hendrickson turned to look at the crowd again.

"The third reason is for the Emperor to make a declaration."

"Your Majesty..." Hendrickson slightly bowed and moved his hands as if saying 'please' except there was a slight amount of worry in his face as he didn't know what kind of declaration would the Emperor make in the last moment.

Logan nodded and stood up, "Everyone who is gathered here, I am thankful to you all for witnessing the proceedings today."

"It's just as my Royal Advisor said. Today, I want to make a declaration or rather, an oath."
