Soon enough, the time for the meeting came. Rui sat on a chair before a mirror while a grooming team mended his appearance, garbing him in fresh royal attire. He simply heaved a tired sigh as he contemplated ditching this and running away, but ultimately decided not to. He didn't want to be known as a man-child of an Emperor.
It hadn't been his idea in the first place.
"Honestly, what were you thinking, trying to go to an important inter-civilizational conference without the appropriate grooming?" The voice of his sister drew his attention.
He turned to spot Ru staring at him with a critical gaze, her arms folded.
Given that this meeting was a more formal meeting, he decided not to go alone since the other sides were going to bring along a convoy of advisors along with them. It would not reflect well on his status as the anointed representative of a civilization for him to come in looking like he represented himself.
