”Anna, why do you have to be like this? What have I ever done to you? I am sorry, okay! Please let me join my mercenary group for the mission.” The arrogant and unreasonable Aba who attacked me on sight for calling her little was no more. Aba had cast aside her arrogant shell. What remained was a core that wanted to do everything in its power to achieve its dream.

”What? Are you going to cry and blame it all on me? Who was it that broke into my territory without permission? Who was it that attacked my subject and me? Who was it that arrogantly summoned their fatherʼs incarnation to intimidate me? Now you dare to act as a victim in front of me. You got some nerve donʼt you girl.” Annaʼs sadistic side was enjoying the helpless Abaʼs struggle to achieve her desire.

”...” Hearing Annaʼs questions Aba went quiet as she was guilty of everything Anna charged her of.

”What cat got your tongue? Thatʼs what I thought.” Seeing the complaining Aba unable to answer her, Anna scoffed.

[Master Wyatt, please understand killing Butcher Bob is not good for business. Please ask something reasonable.]

Agatha sent a text again asking me to understand her dilemma and change my terms.

[I understand. Then I want to borrow you for a night.]

As soon as I replied to Agathaʼs text I regretted my poor choice of words in the text message.

”You mongrel. I am old enough to be your great-grandmother. Have you no shame.” Agatha yelled furiously. Attracting Aba and Annaʼs attention simultaneously.

”Shit” I cussed knowing that it was too late for me to explain myself.

”What the heck do you think you are doing?” Anna stood in front of me blocking the bloodthirsty Agatha who was aiming for my neck.

”Southern emperor, please move. I will rid the world of this twisted little pervert.” Agatha screamed Bloody Mary glaring at me.

”If you hold your life dear, stand down. Or else donʼt blame me for being ruthless.” Anna gave Agatha an ultimatum. Knowing Anna she will stand true to her words.

”Agatha! What are you doing? What has gotten into you? Stand down.” Aba hurriedly asked her retainer to stand down. As she knew Agatha was no match for Anna. And knowing the ruthlessness of Anna she didnʼt want Agatha to get hurt unnecessarily.

”Tsk, as expected of a sicko like you. Hiding behind a womanʼs back.” Agatha cussed in anger and retreated having achieved what she wanted.

As a veteran card apprentice, the sexual tension between the opposite sex was not new for Agatha yet she act like a chaste little median because she wanted to scare me into helping her agenda.

A neat little plan but unfortunately, for her, she didnʼt know that the text I sent her was nothing but a misunderstanding. When I said I wanted to borrow her for a night, I meant that I needed her to guard me on the night I planned to attack the circle sun blossom branch. In a hurry, I had skipped the context. Which led to Agatha misinterpreting my intentions.

With hard proof in her hands, Agatha thought she could scare me but the thing was it was all a big misunderstanding. There was nothing for me to fear about.

The only thing that worried me was Anna killing Agatha out of sheer jealousy. Considering how tolerating Anna has been recently I think Agatha had a good chance of remaining in one piece.

”Good, now somebody better explain to me what the hell is going on.” Said Anna seeing Agatha retreat. But one question was haunting her, why did a woman call her crush a perverted sicko?

”Nothing Anna, It was all a misunderstanding,” I answered Anna before she took some drastic measures against Agatha, for calling me a perverted sicko.

”Nothing? After daring to say such unspeakable words you dare to brush it off saying you did nothing? Is that what the self-respect of women is to you? Nothing!” Agatha, seeing me not scared one bit, was surprised. So she acted louder to express that I better understand that I have no choice but to do as she says to make this all go away.

”All this is a misunderstanding. Please give me a chance to explain myself.” Faced with Agathaʼs acquisitions I asked the girls to give me a chance to explain myself.

”Misunderstanding? You men are all the same. It is never your fault. It is the womanʼs fault. She was asking for it. I am right, Master Wyatt. Is that what you want to explain?” Agatha was astonished to see me not act the part that a guilty party should. She didnʼt want the matter of her trying to negotiate with the boy to come to the open. She doesnʼt know how the southern emperor would react knowing the facts. She didnʼt want all this to affect her princessʼs predicament. Therefore she could not help but become louder hoping the boy would just shut up and do as she says.

”Please stop overreacting and let me explain myself.” If It was somebody else instead of me even though they knew they didnʼt do anything wrong they would be trembling with fear in the face of Agathaʼs remarks.

”Everybody, shut the hell up,” Anna yelled at Agatha and her rampant tongue. With Agathaʼs accusation and her crush offering to explain himself Anna knew something was up. Therefore she decided to get answers her way, ”Wyatt, speak. What do you want to explain?”

”Thank you. Anna, all this is a misunderstanding and it started with a text message that I sent to Ms. Agatha saying, ʼI want to borrow her for a night.ʼ— ” Before I could get to the context and explanation part I was interrupted by shell-shocked Anna and Aba.

”What?” Anna and Aba yelled in shock.

”...” Agatha stared at me with astonishment. She never expected everything to play out like this. This was beyond her expectation.
