Rui smiled calmly. "An astute observation and one that I have a solution for. Good thing it is that already know about her."

"You plan to create a faction, and once you've created the bulk of it, you then intend to have Master Reina Cara serve as a stand-in to mimic you to maintain your faction while you secretly leave the Kandrian Empire."
