The Martial Unity

"How do I look?" Rui asked as he adjusted his Kandrian version of a tie.

"You look good, sir. It appears that the suit fits just fine" One of the attendants of the assistance team assigned to him replied.

He had just been provided the formal wear that he would have to wear for his role as a diplomat. It was different from the one that was normally provided to diplomats. This particular set of clothes had been specially designed to incorporate Martial elements to it, making it seem more like the ceremonial battle garb of a warrior king.

"I haven't been this formally dressed since..." Rui's eyes glazed over as he recalled the interviews he had given back when he first announced the completion of the first iteration of the VOID algorithm. It was one of the few times that he had truly gone all out with his grooming for the momentous occasion.

"Are there any discomforts or anything else of the sort, sir?" His personal attendant asked politely. "Alterations or replacements can be swiftly issued."

"None at all, it fits just fine," Rui nodded as he looked at himself in the mirror.

He glanced at his suitcase. "How much more time until boarding time is ready?"

"A little under three hours sir. The crew aboard the Veomine Starling are nearly done with their final preparatory protocols," She informed him with a courteous tone.

"Hm," Rui nodded as he glanced over at the suitcase lying at the other end of the suite.

He had been staying at a coastal branch of the Martial Union for the past day as the final preparations for the diplomatic expedition were being completed.

He spent the remaining time he had in the Kandrian Empire making sure that he had missed nothing. None of his personal belongings that he needed, and most certainly none of the documents and other things that he needed to complete the mission.
