Ri En is one of the two Prime Ministers of the state of Chu alongside Ka Rin. It was revealed that he was the one who had orchestrated the assassination of Shun Shin Kun. He also created the new system, "Double Prime Minister System" as a means to allow the Chu Great General to take the second Prime Minister seat and secure power in the Chu courts.

Appearance[]

Ri En is a middle-aged man with long black hair, a goatee, and a mustache. For clothing, he wears decorated colorful robes of silk benefiting his status of nobility and a politician.

Personality[]

Ri En's initial appearance in front of Ren Pa and Ka Rin gave them the impression that he was a silent man. When dismissed by Ka Rin as a simple pencil pusher from the Chu Imperial Palace and a mouse that can only make empty threats, Ri En nonchalantly reciprocated her disdain by mentioning his loathing for warmongering brutes with bold confidence. He also showed himself to be calm and pragmatic, explaining why he had to assassinate his secret brother-in-law, Shun Shin Kun, and why he wished to collaborate with Ka Rin as a co-Prime Minister. While he showed that he did not particularly like Ka Rin, he knew they both did not want Chu to become a victim of the other state's opportunism if Chu were to experience a succession crisis and even offered an apology after bringing up her past.

History[]

Story[]

Koku You Campaign Arc[]

Ri En's little sister was found to be pregnant with Shun Shin Kun's child. Seeing this as an opportunity, Ri En, Shun Shin Kun, and king Kou Retsu planned to make this child the king's child and official heir so that the king's younger brother, whose deviant and erratic traits would bring the Chu to ruin if he ruled, couldn't become the new king in the future, even if it meant breaking the royal bloodline of the throne.
However just before the sudden death of the king, Shun Shin Kun changed his mind and backed out. He wanted to let the king's brother ascend the throne instead, and since it was too late to change their plans, revealing the secret would result in death to all parties involved, including himself and his sister. Ri En ordered his assassins to kill Shun Shin Kun while Shun Shin Kun also sent assassins to kill him, but only he survived the attempt.
