Aye, but you may not think so as much when I say once the parliament was established, I wanted to step down as ruler. Twas only temporary and I only wished to give that power to the people; it was because I was elected without my knowledge nor would the High Houses take no for an answer.

It was flattering given that before, some were leery about the reform from the Church. I suppose that is the difference between Ishgard and this realm.
