Rationales

A wave of surprise spread through the members of the committee.

The Martial Supremacist was a highly cohesive faction.

Yet apparently, the Final Prince was powerful in a topic to cleave even this cohesive faction into two.

"We of the pro-Rui Martial Supremacist Faction are in favor of supporting the Void Prince," She said. "We believe it will do more for Martial supremacy to support him instead of Prince Raijun."

The air tingled, prickling at their nerves.

Many stirred at her words.

The rationale behind it became increasingly clear.

Prince Rui was far likelier to win the throne war than Prince Raijun. Thus, supporting him was the best way to get a through-and-through Martial Artist on the throne. However, that wasn't the only rationale.

He was also a Martial Senior, while Prince Raijun was a new Squire.

He was a deeply accomplished Martial Artist, while Prince Raijun had yet to have his first real fight.
