Everyone in the room raised their hands to oppose Leonhardt to hold the position except Princess Thalia.
Despite the opposition, Leo remained calm. His smirk stayed, steady and unshaken, as if the council's objections were nothing to him.
Volkahardt made a faint smile as he scanned the room. "Alright," he said, his voice smooth and clear. "You may voice your objections." His tone carried a curiosity, as he was eager to see.
As the hands lowered, Faelar from Zarethune, spoke first. "Leonhardt may have defeated Garrik," he began, his tone thoughtful, "but one fight doesn't prove he has what it takes to lead."
Huldrich, the Iron Leader, nodded and followed without hesitation. "Leadership demands more than a single victory," he said bluntly. "You need skill, resilience, and strategy. You've got a lot to prove before anyone can call you worthy."
