The leader of the current Sovereign Merchant, a literal tier 7 Veggie Lion King, was kneeling in front of Kael.
If not for Kael's status, he didn't imagine that he would ever have to bow to any tier 6 for the rest of his life.
He was a king for heaven's sake, his bowing just felt entirely wrong to his biology. But he had to.
The Sovereign Merchant Coalition had more than one tier 7 obviously, but they usually elected their leader.
This Veggie Lion King was merely the elected leader for this century. He would have to step down from his leadership role in the next thirty years or so to make way for someone else.
Right now, he was wondering how unlucky he had to be to encounter Kael during his own tenure.
The leader was not unreasonable though, he listened to what Kael was saying and read through the proposal written on the golden screen.
What he read made a lot of sense and he could not see any flaw in it.
