As the votes were being called out James knew he wouldn’t win this game. The votes were already being cast between Lord Aldwyn and Lord Alaric. James knew he had lost the moment his Baron voted for Lord Alaric, however this was part of the plan. While the lords voted James and Conrad spoke briefly for their plans and a decision was reached. James decided to hold his vote to push it in favor of one of the others if possible. However after having seen the support for Aldwyn growing he knew he’d have to do something. He made a swift stand before the crowd looking specifically at Lord Stolt “[i]It seems my support has been lost, as I am no sore loser I will withdraw my name for kingship. I will instead give my vote to Lord Alaric. Lord Stolt, Though I’m pleased I had your trust it seems to me they are the more well liked candidates and I’d suggest you vote the same.[/i]” He gave a small smile and sat down.
