The Royal Council

[The Celtic Viking]

Hilarion stands up and walks into the centre of the Council. He solemnly raises both hands and shouts out in his deep voice:

"The tenth Council Session will begin now! All members have three days, until the 10:00 6th of June, to propose legislations, at which point all that have passed will be held up for voting, which will end after the passing of two days. A new chancellor election is also due, so all who wish to run for the position should make their voice be heard."

Returning his hands to their normal position, and speaking with his regular tone, he adds:

"Our Basileus, lord Sarpedon Syriakos, will be a little bit late for this one, but until he arrives, I will speak for him. You needn't worry, though: he will be here in good time before the session is over."

He bows his head gently, and then makes it back to his seat.
