"We cannot keep mooning over the fact that we have lost a gateway to greatness. Instead, I propose that we make the best out of what we have left: this continent."
The statement was led by snorts and other sounds made from people scoffing at what he was saying, and of course, these were mainly from the 15 or so elders who had the right to do anything they wanted.
"Hear me out. I have a hunch… And I think that it has a very high possibility of coming true. The king, or I should say, the Godking, is no normal man. We all know of his history, and how far he has reached. Who can say that he's done? He might well lead this continent to great heights, so when that happens, I wish for our house to be as close to him as possible, so that we can reap the benefits."
For a moment after he declared this, there was silence, and then, outright laughter burst out from the mouths of almost all the elders.
