The Martial Unity

They joined the flowing stream of guests that walked across the Royal Estate heading down the path to the Royal Hall. Rui's senses washed across the people walking in. Interestingly enough, only a small minority of guests were Martial Artists, the remaining were civilians.

Close to half of them were accompanied by bodyguards from the Kandrian Security Force, ranging from normal human bodyguards all the way to Martial Senior bodyguards. This was telling as the Kandrian Security Force was tasked with the duty of protecting important governmental officials.

Julian was not qualified to have one even as the deputy director of a division within the Ministry of Research and Development.

Those weren't the only security measures in place, he saw many armed figures patrolling the borders. They possessed strange artifacts in their hands that even exuded a little bit of a threat to Rui's instincts.

Whatever they were, they were powerful. Princess Raemina seemed much less reliant on the power of Martial Art compared to some of the other princes and princesses.

Still, as Rui sensed around the moving crowd, it became increasingly clear that Princess Raemina had managed to gain much interest from the executive government. He found that to be rather disappointing, but he had already prepared himself for popularity for her communist philosophy ever since he learned about her being one of the seven prime candidates for the throne.

"Welcome to the Royal Hall," A set of maids and butlers chanted and bowed in harmony, welcoming them in.

The Royal Hall was incredibly wide and spacious, accommodating many people in it. Inside were a number of Martial Masters that secured the safety of the Royal Hall. This was still a rather strange sight for Rui who had gotten used to Martial Masters being infrequent and few during his time away.

Here in the Kandrian Empire, Martial Masters were far more common and were much less significant. For an event as important as this with as many important guests as there were here, it was fitting that Martial Masters were deployed to ensure the safety of all the guests. Trying to get past them was going to be extraordinarily difficult.
