With expectant expressions on their faces, all of the sovereigns who were present were seated around a large display trinket that was patched into an input being directly sent from the Kingdom of Arafell, that had requested for an announcement to be made on the Network.
This request was even been worded quite stiffly, as if daring Lanthanor to reject it, which would show that Daneel was afraid of enabling the Queen to win. This was almost a childish sentiment, and if this hadn't been something that was happening because of Daneel's machinations anyway, he might have rejected the request outright as no sane person would want to help their opponent achieve victory.
