Alasdair says to King Samir, " I ask that I be allowed to speak to the congregation before they, too, are dismissed."
King Samir addressed the congregation, "Prince Alaisdair has asked to be allowed to speak to all of you before you depart the court, and I hereby grant that to the present ruler of the Land of Myst."
Alaisdair smiles and nods at King Samir, activates his communication pin, and says, "Thank you for your time in helping right the dastardly wrongs brought before the court these past two days."
Alaisdair continues, "Several of the couples wish to be united in holy matrimony, and another couple has a child to dedicate to the good of our society."
The new King and Queen of the Pagasi, the new Duke of Saxon, and the new Earl of Cornwheel will also pledge to our "tenents of do no harm"
"In as much as it is late in the day, we wish to declare Tomorrow, a day of rest and the following day to the celebrations of these events. We have taken the liberty to have ballots made with options; please mark the ballots and hand them to your courier to insert so we have an immediate accurate count for our housekeeping and food staff."
Only a few moments pass before all tabulation is done.
"As you see from the overhead, we are pleased to say you all will be with us as witness to our nuptials and dedications, Prince Clayton's daughters also asked for a dedication ceremony in addition to King Samir and Queen Ada's son," Alaisdair continues, "Tomorrow is a day of rest for all, except the parties involved in dedications and/or marriage. Have a pleasant evening and a good night to all."
