”The table is set. Your highness Asong, please.” Agatha invited Asong and then looking at two identical Anna she did not know how to react. Which one was the southern emperor and who was the doppelganger?

”Agatha, this is Ann, Annaʼs twin sister.” I introduced Ann to Agatha as not many people seem to know about Annaʼs origin card and Ann preferred to identify as Annaʼs twin.

”...” Agatha wanted to invite Anna and Ann to the dinner table. But they had already taken a set at the table while I introduced Ann to Agatha.

”Where is Aba? Why is she not here?” Asong asked.

”Your highness, the princess is still sad about your health and is crying in the kitchen,” Agatha answered.

”Let me go fetch her.” Asong headed towards the kitchen. She knew Aba was attached to her. And as somebody who lost her mother to an illness Aba was really sensitive about these kinds of stuff. Knowing that Aba was sad for her, Asong who did not want to talk about her condition decided to have a heart-to-heart with Aba. But as she headed towards the kitchen she did not forget to throw a glance at the preson responsible for all this mess.

”...” shaking my head at Asongʼs stare I then looked at the dinner table, asides from Asong and Aba who were in the kitchen everyone had taken their seat at the table, even Susan. She was seated between Anna and Ann, seeing this I could not laminate how considerate they were. After all, Susan was the only outsider in this group. Feeling my gaze Anna signaled me to sit next to her. I shook my head with a sigh, though I want to enjoy dinner with every one, I still had other pressing matters to deal with and this was the best time for me to go get rid of the evidence connecting me to Demigod Redfallʼs soul. Thinking about what I had to do next under Annaʼs puzzled gaze I looked at all and said, ”Guys, I have to leave for some urgent business, you folks enjoy the dinner without me.”

”Master Wyatt, canʼt that wait? Everyone will miss you at the dinner table,” said Cole not because he will miss his cousinʼs lover at the dinner table but because with him gone he will be the only male on the dinner table. Not that he minded it, after all, it helped with his fantasies but he knew a small slip in his expression and these ladies would make him regret it. Therefore he hoped that another male would be present to share the burden in such conditions.

”Yes, master Wyatt, I have prepared a lot, it will go to waste.” added Agatha.

”Well, Agatha, it seems I donʼt have the fate to enjoy your hand-cooked meal.” It did appear like that, so I couldnʼt help but say it.

”No need to be sad master Wyatt, I will make sure to save some, and reheat it for you when you arrive later.” Agatha offered.

”Thank you, Agatha.” I donʼt know if Agatha was being serious but I didnʼt care.

”Wyatt, let me tend to that business, you have dinner with everyone.” At the dinner table Susan felt like the friend who got a last-minute invite to the new yearʼs dinner out of pity. Especially with Ann and Anna going out of their way to make her feel welcomed and comfortable at the dinner table.

”No, Susan. That wonʼt work. I have to be there for this. Please understand,” I said eyeing both Susan and Anna, as they were the only two, whom I felt obliged to give an explanation as for the others, fuckʼem they are not the boss of me.

”...” hearing my words Anna and Susan nodded in agreement. With that, I hurried out of the warehouse, and summoning my hoverbike I called Cortney while heading towards the blood rock cave gate dungeon seal.

”Hello, Wyatt. What is it?” Cortney answered the call immediately, it appears she to was not busy with other matters, fortunate for me.

”Cortney, where are you now?” I asked her.

”At the orphanage, I wanted to come to the warehouse but the kids and Bloodette hit it off so I decided to stay here. Why, is there a problem?” Answered Cortney. The sound of children and Bloodetteʼs laughter in the background were proof of her words.

”No, donʼt worry about it. As long as you are within the sky blossom city array it is fine. I called you for personal matters, I need a favor.” I asked Cortney a favor.

”Sure, what is it?” Cortney didnʼt hesitate and immediately agreed to help. This was the loyalty I could expect from Cortney, if it were somebody else they would not agree without knowing the nature of the favor, and only after I had answered them would they show their true colors. At times like this having a friend like Cortney was helpful.

”Meet me at the dungeon seal. I will explain everything there.” I did not go into details about the favor and asked Cortney to meet up at the blood rock cave gate dungeon seal.

”Okay, meet you at the dungeon gate,” Cortney answered affirmatively.

Location- Sky Blossom City, Dungeon Highway, blood rock cave gate dungeon seal.

I had arrived at the dungeon seal location, but there was no sign of Cortney. I wasnʼt worried that Cortney wouldnʼt show up, there must be a strong reason why she hadnʼt arrived yet. Therefore I decided to wait while making appropriate preparation.

By appropriate preparation, I meant upgrading a storage trunk card to a bonded storage trunk card. Whatʼs the difference between the two? Bonded cards were the cards that can only be used by the predetermined card apprentice and nobody else could use the card. So by upgrading a storage trunk card I was making sure that only I could activate the card. This way the contents of the storage trunk would only be accessible to me and nobody else.
