Many were in favor of a stricter penalty, much to the dismay of the pro-Rui faction.
"I am firmly in agreement with Master Herel." Another elderly Martial Master remarked. "I think that, in addition to Master Ceeran's suggestion, we should firmly secure joining the internal corpse of the Martial Union under our chain of command."
While some of the disgruntled Martial Masters of the Martial Union were more in favor of that, the pro-Rui faction vehemently opposed it.
"That's not different from demanding his servitude." Master Vericita's elderly voice stormed with power. "Forcing a Martial Master to join the internal corpse that we command is deeply humiliating."
"Has he not humiliated us when he lied through his teeth and played us like clowns?!" Master Herel's eyes blazed with rage. "Never before have I felt as humiliated as when I realized the prince I had spoken to for three years was the notorious and infamous Silent Shadow, who played me for a fool for four years straight!"
