His gaze moved toward the Fifteen Rulers standing proudly behind him.
His mother, Melira, smiled gently while looking at him with pride.
Caelira gave him an encouraging nod.
Xereth crossed his arms with complete confidence.
Kaelgor grinned fearlessly.
Sylthara smiled elegantly.
Every ruler met his gaze.

Not a single one doubted him.
Seeing the trust within their eyes caused Daniel to smile faintly.

The atmosphere itself seemed to become heavier.
