"A council? You must be joking! We don't have the right people for that" Alastor stressed to Sebastian while plates of fancy food were placed in front of them.
"I understand your worry" he takes a sip from his wine "but I assure you that this is very much needed, people look up to us. We are gods in their eyes, if we don't help god Forbid that something bad happens to us" he laughs taking another drink.
"And if the council fails?" Derek brushes back his dark hair "what will become of us?"
"Us?" Alastor spat out "last time I checked your fake royalty you bastard!"
"Fake royalty, and people still like me better" Derek scrunches his nose up in anger.
"They only like you better because" Alastor paused not knowing what to say next.
"You guys are getting off topic" Sebastian Leans onto his palms. "People are being murdered left and right! And the townsfolk look up to us to fix it"
"Well that's not our issue, that's the guard issue" Derek spat.
"It is our issue! What will these people be charged with? We can't give them a slap on the wrist and let them wonder the town again" Sebastian stressed.
"This is what we have hanging for, no?" Derek argued back and I felt my temper growing.
"So what? A person steals a pear and we hang them? Think you idiot!" Sebastian sighed angrily. "And why aren't you discussing?" He looks to me and I scoff.
"As if you would even take any of the advice I say!" I remark "it's always bickering between you two. But if you want my honest opinion I'll give it to you" I stand. "The way how we charge people is sinful" I look to Derek. "On a daily basis we kill people who have families, people who had done no wrong. All they did was try to survive"
"So you agree with me?" Sebastian smirks and I roll my eyes.
"Not completely, I still think the idea of a council is overkill, who would even be in this council? As far as we are aware, the people who were smartest are missing" I retort "where would you find the people for this council?" I ask
"We can pick out the smartest people from town" Sebastian grins and both me and Derek give him a dumbfounded look.
"And if they lie about their smartness?" I question.
"That's true, they could" Derek adds on "easily they could lie to us to get in the higher uppers, who knows what happens after. They could steal valuables, burn our castles" he smirks eyeing the two of us. He constantly teased and praised himself on the Invasions he had done.
"And if they did we kill them" Sebastian shrugs "it's as easy as that, because they would be committing an actual big crime" he stands "so do we come to an agreement?" He eyes us both and Derek stands.
"I do" Derek lifts his head with a sinister smirk.
"And you Alastor?" Sebastian turns to me.
"It seems you always get what you want, don't you?" I eye him with distaste before sighing.
