Chapter 2558: Permanent Bond
"We need to be extremely careful with how we proceed in our dialogue with the Dawnbringer."
While Rui peacefully slept away in his luxurious quarters, the leaders of the kingdom of Ucrea held an emergency meeting regarding his sudden visit. They were actually extremely grateful that he wished to retire for the day before their dialogue with him began.
It gave them time to prepare.
This was a golden opportunity to extract the best possible outcome from him.
"We must convince him to bestow upon the Kingdom of Ucrea even just a fraction of his power," one executive official high up in the government declared. "The Kingdom of Ucrea would have been destroyed today if not for the arrival of the young Master. What will happen to us when he leaves?"
Nobody felt the need to answer that question aloud.
If they hadn't been able to protect the Kingdom of Ucrea that day, then there would inevitably come another day where they would fail again.
"It might be the very next day after the Dawnbringer leaves!" the executive official exclaimed. "Whatever the cost, we must get him to help us."
"Calm down, Minister Lenon." Queen Carme glared at him. "Your criticisms of our shortcomings are sound and valid, but the whole purpose of his voyage around the entire world is to impart his power to the rest of us. As long as we don't displease him, he will surely help us."
"With all due respect, that isn't enough," Minister Lenon shot back. "You must get him to deploy his breakthrough ability to increase the numbers of our Martial Artists."
Her expression grew complicated.
"The question is how do we go about it."
"I recommend a head-on approach, Queen Carme," Director Miliania of covert operations remarked. "The personality profile that we have developed on the Dawnbringer is that he's extremely intelligent and observant. That alone reduces the probability that we will be able to trick him. The fact that he has the most powerful Martial Mind known to the Martial World means that he will be able to see through any deception that any person in this kingdom tries on him."
This destroyed the chances of any covert attempt to awaken him.
"Then, I simply recommend that we try a more earnest and sincere approach," she continued. Queen Carme frowned. "You want to request him to fall into our trap?"
"It does need to be a trap at all," Minister Lenon chimed in. "We can request him to acquiesce for the sake of the future survival and prosperity of the Ucrean Kingdom."
"There is no way that can possibly work."
"It is worth a try, Your Majesty. There is no other way. Need I remind you what is at stake? It may just be indulgence and pleasure for him, but for us it is the difference between destruction and survival. And the difference between collapse and rise."
She heaved a deep shaky breath. "Fine, a head-on approach it is. We need to be quick with our selection and briefing. How do we go about it?"
"We don't have too much time, Your Majesty," Director Miliania pointed out. "Frankly, we can't choose someone inconsequential without a strong tie to our nation. It needs to be someone who is inseparable from our nation. Most likely someone who is able to earn the respect of the Dawnbringer and someone whose voice has weight."
"But who can we possibly find?" Queen Carme frowned.
They all stared at her.
She did a double-take as she understood who they had in mind.
