The Martial Unity

Four members of the Royal Family sat around a large round table covered with all manners of documents.

This time, they were not as alone as they were last time.

In the room, in addition to sixteen Martial Masters, were another sixteen people: analysts, executives, and personal advisors. Each was vetted by a high-grade Martial Master who was also vetted to have no allegiance to the Martial Union.

This was the limited task force that the four princes and princesses decided to put into place for the minutiae of the alliance between them.

Due to the furtive nature of the tentative alliance that they had formed to curb Prince Raijun's growth and, specifically, to assassinate Rui Quarrier, this was the limit of the personnel they could allocate to the alliance.

Any more people than this, and the risks of an information leak increased exponentially. The Martial Union, the Beggar's Sect, the Shadow Guild, and any other number of local, national, and international intelligence organizations.

Thankfully, the task at hand was not managerially burdening.

"In the past two weeks, we have identified one hundred and eighty-six Senior assassins whose track record indicates the qualities that we seek," One woman, appointed as head of the anti-Rui task force, remarked. "I have provided Your Highnesses with the relevant documents."

She provided each of the four members of the Royal Family with a document reporting the findings of the task force.
