CHAPTER 22

Bitches

Magni

We were nine men in the room, eight of them older than me and friends of my father. Being rich and influential, these men were used to getting their way.

Some of them I hadn’t seen in years, but a few of them had met with me and Khan recently. It was hard to shake their hands when I thought about the way they had sucked up to my brother calling him the best ruler in the history of the Northlands.

With large glasses of whiskey, and the pretense of a card game, we waited until my mother and all the waiters had left the room.

“We all know why we are here,” Mr. Zobel began. “Every one of us is concerned about the current political situation, and we want change.”

I met the eyes of the eight men sitting around the round table. They looked serious, like me.

“Mr. Zobel tells me that you would prefer me as the ruler. Is that true?” I confronted them.

They all nodded.

“What changes would you like to see? Be specific.”

Sheldon Grant, a man around seventy, leaned back and folded his arms across his fat belly. “There’s no need to beat around the bush. I’m old and like to be in bed by ten.” His comment made the others laugh. “Khan has been sucked in by his new bride. All her talk about humanism and kindness is sickening. Our forefathers refused to be ruled by women and so shall we.” His last three words were emphasized with his head nodding three times. “I don’t want to hear talk about integration. The only way for our two countries to unite would be when the women bow to our male superiority.”

“Hear, hear.”

Empowered by the others’ support, Sheldon kept going. “We are the elite. Not many in this country have married like we have. That means we are the few who can testify to what women are truly like. They have foolish notions, are irresponsible, and have the intellect of children. They should never be allowed to make important decisions for themselves or others.” He looked at me. “Your wife is a good example with her thoughtless and selfish behavior.”

A nerve in my jaw gave a tic and I fought my instinct to tell him to go fuck himself.

Maximilian, a tall lanky man with a big beard, leaned forward. “Women are only good for one thing and that’s breeding and pleasure. When we take over the Motherlands everything will change. My wife died more than five years ago, and I’m ready to take on a whole fucking harem of women.” He smirked. “Why limit ourselves when there are millions to choose from?”

Deep laughter filled the room.

“That’s right, there’s enough for everyone. The Momsies are so bloody soft-spoken that they won’t fight back.”

I tucked my hands under my armpits and frowned.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you want a harem of your own?” Maximilian asked. “Everyone knows you got a rotten egg with that girl you married.”

My scowl grew deeper and he got nervous. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend you.
