CHAPTER 9

REFUSAL AND REQUEST

THE SILENCE WAS SO absolute that I was certain I’d be able to hear a pin drop from across the room. Even the sound of everyone’s breathing had stopped. It was as if the people present had all been frozen in time.

My rejection must have come as a great shock to them. Commander Ashten wore a blank expression like he hadn’t heard correctly, Rienhard was gawking at me with his mouth wide open and his eyes bulging, Cathrine and Dagan blinked rapidly several times as if they were having trouble processing what I had just said, Morrigan and Ming Shen stared at me with bemused expressions, and Alexis looked like someone had slapped her in the face.

It was amusing. I wouldn’t lie. Even if I had wanted the position, I might have denied them just to see their expressions.

I think Kari was rubbing off on me.

“I’m… sorry.” Commander Ashten finally raised his hand as though telling me to slow down for a moment. “I don’t think you heard us correctly. We want to give you a seat on the Council of Six.”

“I heard you just fine.” I couldn’t help but chuckle. “And I still refuse. I’m not interested in having a council seat.”

The gathered individuals all looked at each other in silence, like they couldn’t figure out what to do. I didn’t mind. I waited and contemplated important matters like whether or not I’d be able to have sex with one—or more—of my wives tonight. Fay and Lin should be arriving in Midgard soon if they hadn’t already arrived. Knowing them, I was sure they would wait for a while before setting off back home. After all, someone needed to remain with the caravan and I had kind of just… left. That was my bad. Anyway, if I played my cards right, it was possible Kari would seduce the other women into my bed.

Only after several seconds had passed did they look back at me.

“Eryk…” Alexis finally said, looking distinctly uncomfortable. “Are you really sure you want to turn something like this down? I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t want to give up a spot on the Council of Six, but this is the most prestigious position you can have in the Northern Plains. You will be in direct control of setting down rules, creating new policies, and your influence will spread far and wide. This isn’t something any normal person would turn down.”

I shrugged. “Consider me abnormal then because I still have every intention of turning this position down. I have my own goals, and being on the Council of Six is just adding additional burdens that I don’t need.”

I had several reasons for coming to the Northern Plains. The first was that I wanted to establish friendly relations between Nevaria and the many sects of the Northern Plains, the second was finding an S-rank Demon Beast with a light element and another with a darkness element, and the third was killing the Great Overlord of the Seventh Realm while he was still sealed up inside of that floating island.
