As soon as the king called out duchess Anfel for the new spymaster James eyes narrowed much like that of a snake. After not only being promised spymaster and voting for the new king but also acquiring Lord Stolts vote as well Alaric had the nerve to give it to the halfling he will see the fatal mistake in that soon. James immediately stood up and bowed “What an interesting choice your majesty but do note I hold no ill will against you or the lady, though if our council picks are over I do believe we are through here and should return to our own fiefs and prepared for the winter.” With that James gave a slyish smile and turned his eyes toward the lady giving a nod of approval for besting him before beginning to exit the throne room.
