Chương 1557: Uninvited Guest

According to the intelligence reports of the Martial Union and the Beggar's Sect, Princess Raemina was not the most rational person. She possessed a violent temper that made those around her often quite fearful of her.

Rui was concerned about any potential backlash if Julian rejected her invitation after the many donations that she had made. That might have grown even worse if he rejected her as well.

Regardless, he didn't want to mess around with a crazy princess. 

"…Alright," Julian agreed. "Your reasoning is sound. If it's for the sake of the orphanage, I don't mind joining her faction. It also benefits me since she has promised even greater funding and sponsorships if I did join her faction."

It was a win-win. 

"Who do you intend to join, if not Her Highness?" Julian asked with a curious expression.

"Not too sure but…Prince Raul appeals to me the most," Rui replied. 

"…I'm not surprised," Julian remarked. "I met him once, you know?"
