After offering the toast, the atmosphere began to freeze up. At this, the feudal lord of the Varzina Oasis knew it was time for him to speak. Taking a deep breath, he stood up before kneeling down on one knee, saying, "Second Prince, what the empire needs the most is your decision. Only you can truly bring justice and honor to us."
Immediately, everyone in the room knelt down on one knee towards the middle aged male.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on his face before he spoke, "Really, you guys. I'm afraid that it's difficult for me to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. You should say this to my royal father or elder brother."
"No no no! Although our kind is wise and farsighted, he's too obsessed with the Federation. Only you can truly approach the citizens, understand their feelings and lead them, second prince."
