Since Lin Fan had taken first place, it was only natural that they would want to poach him as well.
After the royal guards exams, there was a banquet that was held to welcome all of the new royal guards.
This was where they made their move.
This banquet was held to introduce the new royal guards to all of the nobles, but really it was something that the six factions had forced onto the emperor. It was set up so that they could have a chance to talk to the new royal guards and poach them.
With the power and influence that the six factions had, the emperor naturally couldn't refuse their request.
He could only watch as they poached his royal guards.
But it wasn't as if all of them were taken.
Even if they were royal guards, that didn't mean that all of them were the cream of the crop. Even among the elite, there were those that stood out compared to others and those that were lacking.
That was why only some of the royal guards were surrounded while others were ignored.
