I say I am of the same stock as Marie Davion, whom you all claim to revere. You say l am untrained. But who among you, other than those already holding a Princely title. is trained for this position? My Lords of the Council, I am the sister of James Davion. but I have never been accused of uncontrolled lust. I am the daughter of Simon Davion, but I have never been accused of murder. I will be the aunt of a new Davion heir, one with the training and the legitimacy you claim that I lack. Let me show you that I can fulfill the needs of this high office."
She successfully lobbied the High Council to become First Prince, with provisions that Roger Davion's child would be designated Heir-Apparent. [4]
