章節 2352: Grave Choices

Rui closed his eyes and fell into thought.

Whatever choice he made, he needed to make it soon. 

If he chose to stay, then they were at risk of dying to an excess of Martial Sages. Including his own bodyguards as well as the two Martial Sages of the Shionel Confederation, their side only had five Martial Sages.

It was very likely that Prime Minister Edward had sent more than five Sages in this little assault. 

On top of that, his own bodyguards, the formidable Sage Knights of the Britannian Empire, were also part of the equation. Together, they undoubtedly possessed Martial Sages in excess of the protection that the Shionel Confederation possessed.

If Rui chose to fight, there was a good chance he would die at the hands of a Sage.

Under ordinary circumstances, that was. 

His father had informed him that he was not going to die at the hands of a Martial Sage via prophecy.
