The Martial Unity

The communications between the Voidreaper and the allied royals happened rather quickly as Master Reina securely relayed Rui's messages to Area Crina, where it was then relayed to the royals through an untraceable means as a result of the sheer resources and care that the royals had put into not being traced.

"The Voidreaper has a policy of knowing the identity of the commissioner?" Prince Randal narrowed his eyes.

"That was the response that Area Crina supplied us with, Your Highness," Sierra calmly informed him. "It's not unheard of, even if unusual."

"We cannot possibly divulge our identities," Princess Ranea's tone was firm.

"We should cancel our plans to commission him if he is not amenable to not knowing our identity," Princess Rafia remarked.

"However, he is the most desirable candidate out of all the assassins," Princess Raemina remarked as she studied his profile with interest.

"Our identities as the ones who seek to assassinate Rui Quarrier must never come out at all costs," Prince Randal was clear. "At the same time, securing his commission is desirable."

Princess Ranea turned to Sierra. "Are there any circumstances under which both of these can be achieved?"

"In our talks with the Voidreaper, he had revealed that he is willing to learn of the identities of the commissioners after the assassination is complete when he delivers the body," Sierra remarked.
