Chereads / Reincarnated In A World of Silly Women / Chapter 17 - The Elf Council

Chapter 17 - The Elf Council

The room is spacious and nicely furnished. It has a large bed, a couch with a coffee table, a dining table and chairs, and a balcony.

"While you are here, we will bring you your meals," said Daphne. "Please let us know if you want anything else."

I said "Okay, thank you" and Daphne left.

It's still pretty early in the day, and it seems like a good time to practice magic. Right now, I have three objectives in magic. To learn flight and see if I have fairy wings. To learn magic storage because that's obviously super handy. And, to learn some offensive or defensive magic in case I'm in danger or something.

I can imagine a few ways in which practicing offensive or flight magic can go very wrong. I wouldn't want to hurt myself or mess up this nice room. I'm already on thin ice with the elves. So, I went out to the balcony to experiment with storage magic. I told the fairies what I was doing and they followed me onto the balcony to watch and chat with me.

I decided to start with the water ball, the only spell I've casted so far. Before, when I released the spell it would simply fall to the ground. Now, I want to try storing that water, magically. So I started experimenting with that.

Meanwhile, Queen Sera had gathered a few of her advisors to discuss their unexpected visitor and his proposal.

"How can we even consider making a human our king?"

"We have nothing to blame but our own inaction. We did nothing while our need for a male grew more and more urgent."

"We only recently decided we could accept a human male into our village, to accept a human king is far too much, far too soon."

"That was hardly recent. Since then, many more elves have become listless and apathetic. And the only thing we actually did about it was tell the fairies and the amazons we were seeking a human male."

At that point, Daphne entered the room, and Queen Sera asked "do you have something to report?"

"Yes, our guests requested only one room with one large bed."

The queen's advisors all gasped.

"Could it be that they are in a sexual relationship?"

"There's no way a human could seduce fairies. It's already extremely rare for fairies to even interact with humans."

"This is unprecedented. I didn't think such a thing was even possible."

Queen Sera clapped her hands together, commanding the room's full attention.

"Do you have anything else to report?"

"Yes, the human was seen casting magic." replied Daphne

This time, even the queen gasped.

"This human is clearly exceptional, exactly the kind of human we were looking for" said queen Sera, after regaining her composure. "He is pleasing to the eye. He has won the favor of two fairies and he can use magic. He was also most respectful and polite in his request to become our king. Therefore, we owe his request serious consideration. And, if we cannot accept him as our king, we should return to him with a compelling counter-offer, at least."

The elves' discussion continued.
