Ibn's proposal quickly silenced the arguments.
After all, a powerful contender for the throne himself had suggested postponing the discussion of who would be king. It was pointless for anyone else to press the issue.
So, the topic of discussion shifted from the throne to the matter of the Noble Commander-in-Chief.
Although Ronin didn't refuse the position, he had his own ideas on the matter.
"Since you all support me, and the late King's will indicated that I should lead the nobles, I will not refuse the position of Commander-in-Chief."
Ronin rose to his feet and bowed to the nobles filling the hall.
At this, the banquet hall erupted in thunderous applause. Ibn took a deep breath and clapped along, a smile fixed on his face.
'Whether this crowd genuinely supported him or simply feared his power, the result was the same.'
