Ashen nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty! There are many things that have changed. If I may have your permission, I'd like to correct some incorrect information that you and everyone here may have received about me."
Without hesitation, the emperor nodded: "Go Ahead."
"Thank you for your permission, your grace" He spoke, bowing to the emperor.
Due to the formation instilled around the stage, his voice was loud enough to be heard by everyone.
Turning toward the crowd, he proclaimed: "Everyone, Hereby I announce my participation in the war of succession on this auspicious day!"
His voice was clear and confident without a bit of nervousness.
As soon as everyone heard his announcement, an uproar erupted in the arena.
"What? Is he serious?"
"How can that be? Doesn't he only have a 1-star spirit?"
"Yeah, how can someone with a 1-star spirit even dream of becoming the emperor?"
"Does he have a way to change his spirit's level? Only then would his words make sense"
