The silence lasted for a few minutes. It was not that most of the lord seated did not know what to say but they chose to remain quiet. King George had just one son and if he was not capable of seating on the throne then there was going to be an internal war among the noble families soon.
Someone like Lord Baratheon would have a strong footing since his son was engaged to be married to princess Ema. Princess Ellen's husband was out of it since he was not from Bozoa. So one needed to speak wisely and not offend the king.
"Shall we cancel the ritual," king George broke the silence. He knew these men were only pretending to be in deep thought. Seeing that the king was calm about the situation, the Lords felt more relaxed to speak.
