The Martial Unity

Chapter 2954  Reform

In the Royal Office of the Kandrian Empire, Emperor Rael found himself seated at his table with a straightened back and steepled fingers, gazing at a projector before him. His golden hair was perfectly groomed, as was his skin and attire, reflecting the importance of the meeting that was about to commence.

The projector came to life, projecting the three-dimensional image of the Shinken Patriarch. The dark eyes of the patriarch met with the powerful gaze of the Emperor of Harmony. "Patriarch Shinken," the Emperor of Harmony began with a formal tone. "I am pleased that you are able to make this meeting despite the chaos that the Sekigahara Confederate is currently drowned in."

"…We would not be here if it weren't for your intervention, Emperor Rael Di Kandria," the patriarch remarked with a lowered tone. "I am here to honor my promise… as long as I am able to clarify some details."

Emperor Rael raised an eyebrow. "I believe that you promised me everything. Do you… intend to violate your word? I believe I have told you before, I have a recording of your promise and ample political justification to trample over Sekigahara with my many Martial Masters."

"…Yes, you are able to easily overwhelm the deeply weakened and wounded Sekigahara Confederate as it is now," the Shinken Patriarch did not deny the irrefutable truth. "However… I know your modus operandi, Emperor Rael. You believe in the principles of Harmony. You do not wish to levy war in general, but certainly not in the Era of Darkness when humanity must stand united against the beasts and monsters that seek to destroy us."
