A friend

The two holy maidens and even Galius were confused as to why Valdel would refuse them. This was an offer to become something akin to a hero, with the blessings of the Gods. Any other person even Kings and Emperors would not pass the chance to become a chosen warrior of deities. Especially if they were offered such beautiful maidens as a bonus. Also not accepting both their offers might offend the two holy temples. 

In the human kingdoms aside from the high-level empires, the next powerful force would be the temples of the Gods and Goddesses. Offending them like this wasn't a wise choice. 

"Valdel this is a chance only given to a select few. You shouldn't decide so hastily." Galius looked at Valdel trying to guess what the boy was thinking. 

Valdel shook his head and answered, "No matter what, my decision wouldn't change."
