”So as I was saying—” Colleen kept talking to Wyatt like she had met an old friend. However, receiving a grimoire notification he interrupted saying, ”Colleen, a minute please.”

Colleen had gotten used to Wyattʼs rudeness and blatant disregard for the proper etiquette when in the company of the Royalty.

No, Colleen was not some naive teenage princess in her rebellious phase to find Wyattʼs action refreshing and fall head over heels for his bad-boy attitude.

Rather, if she could she would whoop some etiquette into him, however, not only did his contract with Anna stop her from doing that but she was not sure if she could do that after the strength he displayed in the battle of Southern Capital.

ʼThis boy,ʼ Colleen thought looking at Wyatt casually interrupting her in the middle to receive a grimoire call.

Colleen felt Wyattʼs behavior was too, not that she demanded Wyatt to treat her like his queen. She was pouring her heart over her, doing her best to get close to her future grandson-in-law while Wyatt did not seem to reciprocate a similar effort.

For some unknown reason, seeing Wyatt continue to attend to the grimoire call disregarding her presence, Colleen recalled a similar incident from her past, only here the role played by Wyatt was filled by Gainover. It was Colleenʼs son-in-law Gainover not showing any interest while she was doing his best to get along with him after the family denied his request to give him the Diamond Grimoire and instead gave it to Colleen.

Recalling this incident, Colleen felt like she saw a ghost from her past, but soon shaking her head she consoled herself saying, ʼWyatt and Gainover are not the same.ʼ

What Colleen failed to see or did not want to see was Wyatt had more in common with Gainover than her daughter. Anna had noticed this long ago as she started to court Wyatt.

”DreDre, take as much time as you need to say goodbye to your tribe,” It was Dredre who called Wyatt in response to his text asking her when she would come to the card world. Apparently, hearing that Zaltan had asked her to accompany Wyatt in his world had caused quite a stir in her tribe they were both happy and worried for her. They were happy that she got a direct mission from their lord and concerned that she would be alone in the new world.

”No, I will come to you right now. Send me your coordinates using your demon merchant codex,” Dredre insisted. She felt she was neglecting her duties towards Wyatt taking so much time saying goodbye to her tribe. Believing that if Wyatt texted her then it meant he needed her. Otherwise, he would not have rushed her with the text.

”Dredre, honey, just listen to me. Say your goodbyes to your tribe properly so that you can complete your duties here without any distractions, understood?” Wyatt stressed his words regretting that sent the text to Dredre asking when she would be arriving.

Dredre was right to think that he needed her assistance but Wyatt did not want Dredre to cut her goodbye short because goodbyes were important, especially for communal tribes like Pixies. Wyatt was worried Dredre would rush over to his side without saying a proper goodbye to her tribe and he would be stuck consoling her. Wyatt would rather wait a little longer than have to deal with a pixie who misses her tribe.

”Understood. But, you have to promise me if need me you call me immediately,” Dredre agreed to Wyatt asking him to call her if he needed her.

”Sure,” Wyatt said wondering, ʼHow long are you planning to say your goodbye? How long are Pixie goodbyes?ʼ

Though he thought this Wyatt did not dare to say it out loud to Dredre, he had finally managed to persuade he did not want to do it all over again. Besides considering that Dredre was the first Pixie of the then Forest Guide Tribe now Book Guide Tribe to ever leave the tribe and travel the Myriad realms, a big goodbye with feast all was given according to her tribeʼs customs and norms.

Hanging up on Dredre, Wyatt turned to look at Colleen to find her staring at him. Ignoring her glare he said, ”Please continue, you were saying…”

”Who is Dredre? Are you seeing some other girl behind my granddaughtersʼs backs? Do not tell me itʼs one of the girls from the Freedom Fighters. No wonder you were not as enthused about getting revenge on them,” Colleen flipped inquiring Wyatt about Dredre. She was not the one to get jealous or doubt her partner, but in her granddaughterʼs case, she did not want to repeat the same mistake she made with her daughter.

”Were you eavesdropping on my conversation?” Wyatt asked Colleen, he knew Colleen eavesdropping on him was nothing new but this was the first time she was so blatant about it. He wanted to use this moment to discuss boundaries with Colleen but seeing the crazy in Colleenʼs eyes he took a step back. He tried to understand why Colleen had gotten so worked up.

”Yes, I was,” Colleen did not deny Wyatt and agreed to his allegations and then demanded, ”Now, your turn. Are you cheating on my granddaughters with Dredre?”

ʼNone of your businessʼ or ʼGranddaughters? There is nothing between Ann and me.ʼ Those were what Wyatt would have replied to Colleen with if he did not feel that she would not hesitate to rip his head off if he answered her with anything other than a resounding no. So he did, ”No, I am not.”

Hearing the magic words Colleen finally calmed down and apologized, ”Sorry, I do not know what got over me. I did not scare you did I?”

”I think you and your family should get tested for mental disorders. Especially, the females.”
