While she was a possibility, one prince who wasn't a possibility was Prince Rajak, the Underworld Prince.

Rui had an extremely bad opinion of them, worse than even Princess Raemina. The Underworld had already hurt his family. He couldn't imagine how bad it would be if this prince ascended the throne.

Yet this prince was the one he was least willing to antagonize. The Underworld was not constrained by things like maintaining reputation and credibility. They were far more unscrupulous and uncaring. Antagonizing this prince could genuinely put him and his family in danger.

Still, he didn't think he would be approached by this prince at all.

"Prince Raijun is also highly undesirable," Rui heaved a sigh.

He did not want to live in a nation where Martial Artists ruled over non-Martial Artists and had no limits or ramifications to the use of their power. He did not want to live in a world where ordinary people were essentially enslaved to Martial Artists in fear of their power.

However, the Martial Supremacist doctrine believed that Martial Artists should be the absolute rulers of society.

Such a world was not good for the Quarrier Orphanage.

The economic wealth of corporations, the authority of the government and the Royal Family kept the Martial Union in check and vice versa. However, if the Martial Artists gained absolute authority over the state, there would be nothing keeping them in check.

"Huff..."Rui heaved a sigh. "Tough..."

He was inclined to go for Prince Raul, but only if the man truly had a shot of winning the Kandrian Throne War.

'I'd need to meet him,' Rui first concluded. He was not going support someone without getting a good personal impression of them first.

It wasn't long before Julian came back home from the Ministry of Research and Development, Rui immediately secluded himself with the man.

"So?" Julian asked as he relaxed in his chair. "What is it you wanted to speak to me about?"

"It was regarding the Kandrian Throne War," Rui replied with a serious tone.

Julian heaved a tired sigh. "It doesn't appear that you brought this up for a mentally stimulating conversation. I don't have too much of an interest in this topic. Unlike you, I don't possess the power to affect it."

"If you didn't, then you would not have been approached by the Raemina Administration," Rui pointed out.

"I was approached because Her Highness is aggressively recruiting support across the government," He replied. "As the Minister of Finance, she is looking other ministries for support, and the Ministry of Research and Development just fell under that approach. It's not me in particular that she wants. While I am a valued high-level researcher, I don't possess any real political weight myself. It's just a little better if she can get a whole ministry cleanly than just the ministers."

"In that case, I want you to accept her offer," Rui replied, throwing a pointed look. "Because I don't intend to."

Julian raised an eyebrow, able to immediately understand what Rui conveying. "You want me to act as a protective guarantee for the orphanage from any reproach from her."

Rui nodded. "Out of all the princes and princesses, she and Prince Rajak are the most dangerous to reject. It's possible that just rejecting will mark us as her enemy. In her case, it would be better if you accept so that she will not do anything if I reject."
