Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 3264 The Council Commenced

Early the next morning, the grand court of Montiria assembled with regal splendor.

Gadel, seated with an imposing dignity upon the throne, allowed his imperial crown to obscure any hint of emotion.

At long last, the silence was broken as Gadel spoke, his voice measured and deliberate.

"My devoted subjects, I have spent the night in deep contemplation. Before my ascension to the throne, Princess Iris executed a forged imperial decree, acting with unparalleled cruelty."

"Yet, my esteemed friend, Matthew, the Summit Warden of Cathay, observed the devastation inflicted upon our lands and, with the might of tens of thousands, came to our aid."

"After I defeated Iris, Matthew departed quietly, requesting no reward, which left me profoundly unsettled."

"A man of such unblemished righteousness-how could I ignore my own conscience and remain indifferent?"

The gathered officials remained still, their eyes fixed on Gadel, keenly observing what actions this king, known for his merciless nature, would undertake.

"And so, I resolved that since he aided in the restoration of this kingdom, I shall grant him half of it! I hereby restore the position of Prime Regent of Montiria, and Matthew shall assume this esteemed role!" Gadel's voice had a crescendo with each declaration, every syllable resonating with thunderous gravity.

The title of Prime Regent-a position of immense prestige, nearly equivalent to that of a co-ruler-was to be conferred upon Matthew.

"Your Majesty, we beseech you to reconsider. What virtues or qualifications does Matthew possess to warrant such a role?"
