"The Holy Mark Steward sent word to the Gena Continent, telling us to nominate a different candidate."
"The Holy Descendant Civilization sent a message immediately. They proposed we use the runner-up, Anke, to fill the position and have already promised us certain benefits. They also said that if we don't agree, holding another competition is also an option."
"The thing we feared most has happened after all."
Si Enli said, her expression grave.
"No reason given, just telling us to replace our chosen candidate? That's just like him."
Modin shook his head helplessly.
"This has become really troublesome. Have you heard back from the Black Lotus Steward? He is, after all, someone who came from our Bernard City. He's also one of the rare powerhouses from a Low-level Civilization who became an Elemental Star Steward step by step. If he intervenes, there might still be some room to maneuver."
Si Enli said.
