Soon enough, the next day arrived, and the joint meeting followed suit, arriving with it.
The meeting that would decide whether the Shionel Confederation was ally or enemy to the Kandrian Empire was to commence.
Rui narrowed his eyes as he walked towards the conference room prepared for the joint meeting.
The air was electric.
It tingled.
He felt a burden weighing down on his shoulders.
He had reached a nexus point from which two broad possible sets of futures branched off.
One where the Kandrian Empire gained a new ally, securing the power needed to deny the enemy alliance of the strength it needed to destroy the empire with dominance.
And the other was where the Kandrian Empire gained a new enemy.
One that would serve as the trigger sending dominoes falling until they led to the destruction of the Kandrian Empire.
