It had been a long time coming now, Taori felt, but he had to do what was right for both himself, his family, and the people of Plant. The King had called forth a gathering before the castle, and hundreds flocked to the streets to see what he'd had to say. Admittedly, he was somewhat nervous to be making such a sudden declaration as the one he had in store for the people of Plant, but he steeled himself, Alpinia at his side, as he looked down at the Vegetan people, and he began to speak.
"People of Vegeta," he began, "You should know that serving as your King, bringing peace to Plant and ending the war with the Tuffles, has and always will be among my most treasured of accomplishments. No words can describe the honor I have felt to be the King of such a great people." Taori then turned to glance at Alpinia, who smiled and then nodded at him.
"However... My wife and I have recently borne our first child. I have kept this private from even my closest of associates. And together, we have come to a decision - I will be abdicating the throne, leaving it open to any worthy challenger who wishes to claim the Kingdom of Vegeta as their own." At this, the crowd burst into surprised chatter, some worried, some excited, but all confused. To willingly surrender such a powerful position as the Saiyan throne? Who would ever do such a thing?
"I place my faith in the next generation of Saiyans to do what is right, and to lead this Kingdom to even further prosperity - and I thank you for your service to the crown in these last few years." With that, Taori bowed his head respectfully, taken no questions or comments as he and Alpinia calmly retreated into the castle, where they would shortly after take to the stars in search of a peaceful, conflict-free environment to raise their child in.
