Tense silence filled the room.
It was clear that the natives of H'Trae heavily disliked Rey's plan, as well as his perspective on the matter at hand.
Who could blame them?
The experience that humanity had with the denizens of the South were far from pleasant. Besides, they already had a somewhat more preferable alternative in the form of a mutually beneficial alliance with the human nations scattered across the lands.
Yes, the might of the Giants and the Technology of the Dwarves would be far more preferable compared to their current options, but the risks associated with that were also worth considering.
The Royal Council currently didn't think they could take that chance.
"If I may offer some kind of compromise…" Ater slowly raised his hand, instantly quelling the silence in the hall.
All turned to look at his smiling demeanor, causing his grin to broaden further.
