Chapter 84: The Trial: Day one [1]

The moment I sat down, Alios raised his head and began speaking loudly, delivering a speech he had just crafted, unprepared.

"Hello everyone, and thank you for gathering to attend today's trial. This shows how much you care about the important events of the family and how much you value them!" A few lies to please everyone, then the real speech began:

"Today, we are all gathered to begin the succession trial for the first time in 84 years. Just like the last time, it's difficult to choose a candidate due to the quality of both." "What has brought us together today in the Hall of Supreme Justice is nothing less than the fate and future of our royal family, where we will decide the next king according to the standards of our ancestors!" "This is not a celebration or a festival, so I ask the family council, including myself, to keep the banner of justice raised high and avoid taking sides for personal or non-personal benefits! But rather, choose what you see as best"
