章 2558: Permanent Bond

"We need to be extremely careful with how we proceed in our dialogue with the Dawnbringer."

While Rui peacefully slept away in his luxurious quarters, the leaders of the kingdom of Ucrea held an emergency meeting regarding his sudden visit. They were actually extremely grateful that he wished to retire for the day before their dialogue with him began.

It gave them time to prepare.

This was a golden opportunity to extract the best possible outcome from him. 

"We must convince him to bestow upon the Kingdom of Ucrea even just a fraction of his power," one executive official high up in the government declared. "The Kingdom of Ucrea would have been destroyed today if not for the arrival of the young Master. What will happen to us when he leaves?" 

Nobody felt the need to answer that question aloud.

If they hadn't been able to protect the Kingdom of Ucrea that day, then there would inevitably come another day where they would fail again.
