Chapter 1729 Resolution
POW POW POW!
Prince Raijun narrowed his eyes, throwing a flurry of blows against Rui, who promptly retaliated with a swift kick.
WHOOSH!
He swerved, evading it, only to find that it had arrived, nonetheless.
WHOOSH!
He evaded it for the second time, weaving through Rui's attack stance.
BAM BAM BAM BAM BAM!!
His blows struck Rui's guard, pushing him back as he rushed forward.
WHOOSH!
He cleanly evaded a retorting blow before blasting Rui with his most powerful kick.
BAM!!
SKDDDD...
Rui skidded back a few meters from the momentum of the kick.
Rui glanced up at the prince with an impressed expression. "Good. You've arrived."
The Martial Prince looked different from how he did when he began training under Rui more than a year ago. A calm aura of dense power seemed to emanate from the Martial Apprentice. His presence had grown heavier over the months of training with Rui.
"Congratulations, Prince Raijun," Rui calmly remarked. "You've now arrived at the cusp of the Squire Realm."
"...I see."
"You don't seem as excited as I expected you to be," Rui raised an eyebrow.
The Martial Prince stared into Rui's eyes. "It was inevitable, yet it's all thanks to you, Rui Quarrier. You have earned my eternal gratitude. When I become Emperor, I will fulfill any one wish you have, within reason."
"How about not making Kandria a Martial Supremacist nation?"
"Rejected."
"Shame," Rui shrugged.
He met Prince Raijun's eyes one last time. "I've fulfilled my end of the agreement. This is farewell."
'I'll do it.'
A resolution was made.
'I will not allow these maniacs to ascend the throne,' His eyes sharpened. 'I will find a solution to a harmonious future.'
He didn't know how, but he would do it.
Eventually, they reached the location that he had decided upon to meet with them in Vargard.
He wanted to avoid any potential surveilling Martial Masters to know that he was in Vargard. Thus, he was using Master Reina to transit across Kandria. He never once deactivated Greater Phantomind Void, even consuming rejuvenation potions to keep it active constantly, even as he entered the unremarkable building that he had designated as their meeting place.
The Beggar's Sect definitely could not be allowed to know that he was here, and that was difficult to achieve.
CLACK
He opened the door to the meeting room featuring the four royals sitting around a large table.
They didn't look any different than they did before.
Yet they were was a deep sense of resignation that radiated from them.
"No Martial Masters?" Rui raised an eyebrow, noticing that they were unguarded.
"..."
"You should bring them. This is irresponsible," Rui remarked.
"..."
"Your royals of the nation, how can you appear before me without them? Go call them."
"Why do you care so much about our bodyguards being here?" Prince Randal narrowed his eyes.
A glint of suspicion flashed across them.
"They have secured the place; thus, our safety is not a problem."
"I see," Rui shrugged.
Yet inwardly, he was grinning.
"Now then, let's begin," Rui remarked as he sat at the other end of the table. "I arranged this meeting for one reason."
His eyes narrowed. "To tell you that I can ruin you at any moment I desire. If you don't do as I say, then I have no problem ending you. In turn, if you do as I say, your life won't become horrible. In each case, however...your ambition for the throne ends."
Rui stared at them with narrowed eyes. "From this day forth, your sole purpose exists to stop Raijun from becoming Emperor, got it?"
