The Martial Unity

Chapter 1738

What will happen if you don't find someone you approve of? Will something of note happen? Do you possess the power to make them Emperor or Empress?"

For some reason, Raul's sincerity seemed to coax a somewhat truthful answer from Rui.

"So I've heard," Prince Raul smiled knowingly. "What kind of ruler do you seek?"

"…Someone who understands the importance of balance," Rui replied. "That has been the greatest shortcoming among you seven. There is no balance in your visions of the future.
