Broken remained silent for a moment, his gaze sweeping across the faces in the room. After a brief pause, he spoke.
"Once again, thank you for sharing your thoughts. Even if not everyone has spoken yet, I believe what's been said already represents both sides of the argument well enough."
He glanced at the gathered group, then continued.
"I have three reasons why I might decide to let Alora take the crown as Queen Regnant, the Sovereign Ruler."
That alone made his stance on the matter clear.
"First—Respect for her."
He straightened slightly, his expression resolute. "I'm confident that if I asked, she would willingly hand the crown over to me."
Broken paused, letting the weight of his words settle before adding, "Does that make me a bit arrogant?"
"Shut up," Jovina interjected with a playful smirk. "The fact that you can marry her at all shows just how much influence you already have, Broken. Haha."
