Chapter 502 - Chapter 80 - Election Day (7)

The Princess's speech was so commanding that it left the next candidate completely frozen, her lips trembling as if the words had physically lodged themselves in her throat. She stood there, paralyzed, unable to do more than clutch the edges of the podium like it was the only thing keeping her upright.

Having to follow up after Myrcella's speech was like being thrown into a pit of wolves without even a stick to defend yourself.
