I watched Aesir in silence, blinking a few times while I wondered if I’d misheard him or if he had misspoken.
“Is this some type of joke?” I asked him, because whatever gave him the impression that I would agree to something so barbaric?
Aesir sighed. “No, I wouldn’t joke about something like that. If we don't do that, the royal court will proceed with their plans to find me a suitable bride, and the palace will become overrun with omegas from various noble families.”
He explained further as if that were supposed to make me take this more seriously when it wasn’t exactly a business of mine. The only thing I have cared for ever since he came over to talk about this was the part about his court of old fools tattling to the federation about my lack of enthusiasm to be here.
