Ade's voice filled the room with a sense of urgency. "Let's get down to business!"
I shared her excitement and responded, "Absolutely!"
Xyriel, who seemed a bit puzzled, tilted his head with curiosity.
"As you may know, your faction has grown tremendously well over the past few months thanks to your dedication and hard work, Zinnia!" Ade commended, giving a thumbs-up. "At this point, you possess the influence to potentially challenge Prince Theodoric's claim to the throne, should the King allow it," she explained.
Curious, Xyriel asked, "Zinnia, do you aspire to rule the kingdom?"
I pondered the question, resting my chin on my hand, and replied, "I'm not entirely sure. If Theo proves to be a poor ruler when he takes the throne, then I might have no choice but to consider taking it from him. Or perhaps Dahlia could be a better candidate."
