"I accept with pleasure the great honor that His Majesty King Richard Asina Lenistark has spoken to me about. Long live Asina! Long live the great King Richard!"

With these words, the entire hall began to cheer in the same manner.

"Long live Asina! Long live the great King Richard! Long live the new son of the sun, Ethan!"

As the loud cheers continued, I approached the throne he was seated on, and Richard also descended from the throne and came down the stairs.

Richard slipped the emerald ring from his hand onto my index finger, then took my hand and pulled me up. After embracing me tightly, we turned together and faced the nobles, saluting them.

"Long live Asina! Long live the great King Richard! Long live the new son of the sun, Ethan!"
