The Martial Unity

Chapter 2027 Union Considerations

"…What are their internal considerations like?" Rui's tone, albeit impassive, grew more intense. The Martial Sage shook his head. "I'm afraid that I'm not privy to such knowledge. The Martial Union's information security is extremely high. This is especially true for matters that only the Master and Sage councils are privy to. Their security is no less than that of the Royal Palace in that regard."

Rui had expected about as much. Cracking these extremely high authorities within the Martial Union was patently impossible.

His dark eyes narrowed as he considered the ramifications of the Martial Union, having learned of his deceit.

"Considering they have not ousted you, Your Highness, perhaps you have nothing to worry about," Sage Sayfeel remarked.

Rui shook his head. "They have powerful incentives to not oust me. The association between myself and the Martial Union is extremely high. If the world learns of my deceit, then they will catch heat even if they were truly uncomplicit. There are many other reasons as to why they would rather not divulge my deceit. They gain nothing from it from divulging it."

Rui swiftly refuted the Martial Sage's refutation, leaving him silent. It had been a gesture more than an actual possibility, but Rui's political acumen and his personal, intimate understanding of the Martial Union allowed him to calmly judge the merit of Martial Sage's words.

It was not enough to make him feel particularly optimistic.

No one liked to be deceived.

The Martial Union had just realized that Rui had deceived them for five years since the revelations of his princehood. They would not look too kindly on Rui for doing that. Especially when the deception was not light, and they had invested a lot into him into the belief that he was genuinely striving for the throne.
