Simon stared at Grand Elder Dread Crown for a moment.
He had expected another reward, or perhaps a condition attached to the bloodline evolution method. Becoming the Abyss Sovereign's disciple had not been among his guesses.
His thoughts returned to what Night Widow had just told him.
Authority comparable to the elders. Access to the Primordial Treasury.
Those alone were considerable benefits, but the opportunity to learn from the Sovereign interested him just as much. There were things about his body and powers that he was still discovering. Guidance from someone who ruled an organisation of Daemons could save him a great deal of trouble.
And there would be resources.
He doubted the Sovereign would take a disciple only to leave him searching for every material he needed.
The protection was worth considering too. Severin had already been forced to withdraw by Grand Elder Dread Crown. How much more reluctant would House Voss be to act against a disciple of the Abyss Sovereign?
