"Thank you all, our esteemed guests, for coming to this small ceremony of ours," Alaric's voice, the leader of the Goblin Guild, echoed throughout the entire hall.
"Today we have many guests, some from every corner of this country, and others who came from friendly and neighboring nations."
"Your presence honors me. I must also thank you for giving me face and being willing to travel all this way to be here."
"I have ordered that our dear guests be treated in the best possible manner, so please enjoy yourselves."
"Today we are all gathered here for one reason: to choose the new successor of the Goblin Guild, a successor for me. However, the person for this position is not ready yet."
"I offer my deepest apologies, but you will have to wait just a little longer."
When he finished speaking, a round of applause, cheers, and thanks rose up. Alaric himself, along with his brother Jason, went off to greet the foreign guests.
