The Martial Unity

With the considerations in mind that the colonel had just laid out, Rui had to admit that perhaps the Merger Faction wasn't silly, it was true that the Kandrian Empire would become a greater force to be reckoned with if the power of the Martial Union merged with that of the Royal Family.

He shook his head, while that may be true, the likelihood of a union between the Kandrian Government and the Martial Union was too unlikely that it was not even worth pursuing in his opinion.

"This has been very interesting and illuminating," Rui interjected. "However, it isn't particularly relevant here at this moment."

"You're right." A small smile curled on his face. "The conversation just strangely went in this direction."

('Yeah right.') Rui snorted inwardly. He wasn't a naïve fool, it was clear that the colonel brought up his faction for a reason. ('He's probably trying to steer my perspective and impression of the Merger Faction in hopes that I'll join the faction.')

Of course, Rui had no interest in delving into politics, it wasn't particularly relevant to him. As long as he could peacefully train, complete missions and get stronger, he didn't care about the political scene of the Kandrian Empire.

"Anyways coming back to what's relevant at hand here..."

"Ah yes, the commission." The colonel nodded. "I had one of my friends high up in the Merger Faction, prevent your mission bill from divulging the truth about the true client of the commission. I apologize for the deception, truly. I really wanted to commission you, after all."

The man lowered his head slightly.

"To introduce me to your faction?" Rui asked plainly, not reacting outwardly to the man's admission.
