As James sat by and heard the rest of the votes he simply smiled. Once Shamgar had made his speech. James no sooner stood up glass in hand and said "May I present a toast to our new Lord Regent. May he and his nephew bring about a new age and prosperity to the kingdom." James raised his glass and took a sip of his wine. After all the lords drank the celebration began and James began making small talk to the other lords.He first went over to Kenton Cragmore and simply said "Thank you for you support once we are done here I'll ride with you to your capital and I'll send word to my son Luke." James nodded as he left Kenton. James then approached Lord Barad and Heldan "Lords thank you for your support. Once I return home you will gladly get your gems. Also congratulations Heldan on being the new seeker of secrets. Perhaps we could talk later." As James left them he gave Heldan a wink and moved on. He went to the Allister "The Fox" "Lord Alister I'm glad you are kept as Keeper of Kingdoms. I should hope you will keep the peace especially with how close to civil war it is." He smiled then went back to his table thinking how Luke and James are doing.
