Conflicting Interests

Turmoil and conflict have arrived in, one of the Twenty Kingdoms, as new leadership has come into power. Prior to their rule, the nation had thrived with undeniable wealth and power. But as the former king died young, the torch was passed onto his son, an immature who believe the commoners were not better than livestock. Putting chains on his people, most of the population began to starve under his rule. Hatred towards their new king boiled deep inside their bodies and rumor of a revolution starting became common knowledge. Eventually word reached back to the king, who decided he needed to prepare his army against the coalition of savages.

Unable to match the commoners in man power, was interested in purchasing weapons from one of the most infamous arms dealers throughout the seas, Ares. With arms feared worldwide as weapons of mass destruction, it was exactly what he needed against to prevent an uprising.

Arriving at Kinori three days prior to his meeting with the King, the famed broker wondered through the nation developing various measures of escape routes and ideal locations for fighting, in case the king had planned to steal his products. While he confident in his ability to succeed, Shuji is a firm believer in preparation and protecting his ass when he can.

The day of the meeting came soon after and Shuji walked towards the front doors of the palace at dusk. He could see how poorly the slaves were being treated as walked through the kingdom. "They would probably win this battle if I were not to sell King Kendrick these weapons." he thought to himself. But little did he care for the well being of these people. Eventually making his way to the palace, he was greeted by two of the king's guard.

"Ares, Broker of the Arms Trade I presume." one them started.

Shuji nodded and the other continued, "Please follow us." he said, before directing him to the king's chambers.
