After clearing my throat, I said, "Guests that have come from far and wide, I thank you for coming and welcome you to my territory."
The way that I said this was filled with the majesty that a powerful noble should have, it really made me look like a proper count like this, even if I didn't feel like one.
After a dramatic pause, I said, "We are all gathered here to discuss the issue that I have sent to your various lords, but I'm sure that all of you have your questions about what the plan is. I just ask that you hold all of these questions until you've heard everything that we have to say."
The people that were sitting around me revealed surprised looks after hearing this, but they nodded in agreement since this was a fair request.
After that, I turned to the board behind me and there was already someone that was putting up a map.
It was one of Rose's subordinates.
