The Martial Unity

Prime Minister Edward Gel Dermont was not in a good mood these days.

Not only did the shocking rumors of the Void Prince's breakthrough turn out to be completely true, but immediately after they were confirmed to be true, the announcement of the recovery of the Emperor of Harmony spread around the world.

Just the thought of it evoked deep rage within him.

If there was a man he hated from the bottom of his heart, it was undoubtedly Rael Di Kandria.

If there was a man he respected from the bottom of his heart, it was also Rael Di Kandria.

They had a long history with each other.

They were the heads of governments in their respective states for a long time.

They were also the prime strategists of their respective Sage-level powerhouses.

Of course, prime ministers did not normally serve as military strategists in most governments. A prime minister was the head executive of the government. Their primary role was to manage the nation's executive branch. Their required skill set was bureaucratic management.

Yet, in the Britannian Empire, the prime minister, appointed by the Britannian Martial Assembly, possessed oversight over much of the government.

The reason for that was that he, the first and current prime minister since the Second Martial Revolution three hundred years ago, was so extraordinarily competent in all aspects of political engagement that Emperor Arthur had seen fit to give him the keys to the entire government.

He came to power around the same time as Emperor Rael. Of course, the difference between the two was that Emperor Rael was the true ruler of the Kandrian Empire, while the Prime Minister was little more than a glorified servant of the Martial Artists of the Britannian Empire whose power and life could be taken away at any time the Martial Assembly pleased.
