"I refused the throne." Rui stared at the man with an incredulous expression. "And even then, I am one of the most powerful people in the most powerful nation in the entire world. I am the crown prince, a powerful Master, a leader in the Martial Union."

His words were truly heavy and bold.

He was just unable to parse the fact that someone like Rui truly did not care about money.
