With the considerations in mind that the colonel had just laid out, Rui had to admit that perhaps the Merger Faction wasn't silly, it was true that the Kandrian Empire would become a greater force to be reckoned with if the power of the Martial Union merged with that of the Royal Family.
He shook his head, while that may be true, the likelihood of a union between the Kandrian Government and the Martial Union was too unlikely that it was not even worth pursuing in his opinion.
"This has been very interesting and illuminating," Rui interjected. "However, it isn't particularly relevant here at this moment."
"You're right." A small smile curled on his face. "The conversation just strangely went in this direction."
('Yeah right.') Rui snorted inwardly. He wasn't a naïve fool, it was clear that the colonel brought up his faction for a reason. ('He's probably trying to steer my perspective and impression of the Merger Faction in hopes that I'll join the faction.')
