Rui departed that day without commencing his training. He had already spent a lot of energy and skipped sleep in pursuit of convincing the domain Master to accept him as a pupil. They would begin their training at a later date.
Rui also had an appointment to tend to.
His meeting with Princess Rafia was due the next day. She had invited him to a business conference with a lot of prospective patrons whom she hoped to reel over into her faction. Rui wasn't sure what to expect from her, although he did have a very basic understanding of what kind of person she was from the intelligence he purchased from both the Beggar's Sect and the Martial Union.
Soon enough, the day arrived.
He quickly prepared himself, donning the custom-tailored formal Martial Art attire that he had worn to the reception that Prince Raemina had prepared for her patrons and prospects.
