Changing Nation

His meeting with his father ended soon enough as he felt more relaxed about competing with the enemy leader himself for the alliance with the Shionel Confederation. Certainly, it was much harder than if the alliance had sent an ordinary ambassador.

Rui was confident he could outcompete any ordinary diplomat.

Prime Minister Edward himself taking the initiative to convince the guildmaster to join the East Panamic Treaty Alliance made things harder, but still within a tolerable degree.

Rui immediately headed to sleep as dusk came, not wanting to enter the meeting with Guildmaster Bradt at anything less than his optimal condition. 

Soon enough, the next day came along.

It wasn't too long before Rui completed all the preparations.

"Come, Your Highness. The guildmaster awaits you at the capital of the nation. We have prepared appropriate travel arrangements for you and your bodyguards."
