It’s my choice

Both of the dukes were taken aback when they heard this.

They never expected the king to ask them something like this, but…they slowly came around and felt more confident.

After all, if the king was asking them something like this, that meant that he at least had to consider their opinion. It seemed that at the very least, they had some kind of sway here.

This confidence was further boosted when they thought of their positions as dukes.

Their position in this kingdom was by no means low, so it wasn't as if they wouldn't be able to influence the king if they used their position.

So that was most likely what was happening right now.

Since the king was asking for their opinion, the two of them didn't hold back.
