”Another mortal with the potential to become a demigod…” The Field Marshal uttered in disbelief. She could understand Wyatt helping people to enrich their souls with silver milk pills and elevate their active soul control to awaken and contract grimoires to become card apprentices but to help them awaken traits and physiques that too with limitless potential, her understanding of the new realty, that was created with Wyatt in mind, had been shattered by Wyatt again. The Field Marshal returned Marcy her grimoire and then grabbed Wyatt by his collar to desperately ask, ”You, how are you doing it?”

”What do you mean? I just helped her digest the silver milk pill, the rest was her talent. You did see those traits and physiques were all innate and not acquired right?” Wyatt wanted to brush her off saying, ʼAdd it to the list of things she wants answered by him.ʼ But he refrained, as she seemed too agitated by the turn of events. So much so that she was talking to him openly without telepathy and creating a scene ignoring the heated gaze of onlookers. Fearing that if he were to dismiss her again the scene might turn into a drama he narrated what the onlookers thought they saw instead of telling her what he had done. ”What are you complaining about, werenʼt you the one who asked me not to cheap out on her? There, I did everything in my power to help her, shouldnʼt you be happy now?” Wyatt disintegrated the collar of his shirt freeing himself from Field Marshal. Taking a few steps back he restructured his shirt while the Field Masharl tried to find holes in his story to get him to tell her the truth. Ignoring the Field Marshal, Wyatt turned to Aurelia Malvin and said, ”Your turn.” ”Boss, will I also be getting traits and physique like my little sister?” Aurelia asked shamelessly calling Marcy her little sister even though this was the first time they had metThis was her announcing her interest in having Marcy join Bright Lions under her wing. Meanwhile, Marcy could not come to terms with the sudden changes in her life. She tried to but failed as the changes kept coming at her one after the other. One second she was disease-ridden, struggling to survive, and cleaning sewers for a living but now she was a healthy and talented card soldier with two traits, one physique, and a golden grimoire. It was just too much for her little mind to process. ”All I am going to do is try and fix your quirky physique, whether or not you awaken extra physique or traits that depend on your innate talent. But considering that you havenʼt awakened them already, it is unlikely that, you will awaken any,” Wyatt wasnʼt honest with Aurelia. He not only planned to help fix her innate physique but also help her acquire one trait and another physique. The reason Wyatt lied could not be more obvious, he did not want others lining up to ask him to help them acquire traits and physique. Listening to Wyattʼs answer, the Field Marshal who had perked up her ears taking interest in Aureliaʼs question shook her head in disappointment. However, she did not give up knowing Wyatt wouldnʼt just give up the truth so easily therefore she planned to catch him in the act and confront him. Right now the torment the Field Marshal was going through only she knew as she had promised her loyalty to the most mysterious person who doesnʼt seem to accept her. Yes, she knew his basic birth and citizen records but part from that Wyatt was a total enigma to her. Having promised her loyalty to him, the Field Marshal did the courteous thing of asking Wyatt what she did not understand not caring about the disparity in their realm and status as she had given her undying loyalty to him, realm and status did not matter anymore.

However, Wyatt kept dismissing her and didnʼt share anything with her. As if he was still wary of her. The worst part about it was that Wyatt was being subtle about it and not doing it outright. Not giving her a chance to confront him about it. His actions were starting to cause her mental and emotional torment. She had given him her loyalty yet he still treated her as an outsider. The Field Marshal felt like a dog neglected by its master. As for her actions concerning Marcy Davis, the Field Marshal had taken fancy to that girl long before Wyatt even knew about her existence and did not want Marcy to be smitten by Wyatt and take the wrong path just like Anna and Ann. That was all. Unable to tolerate Wyattʼs treatment towards her the Field Marshal grew desperate yet Wyatt gave her the run around and did not tell her the truth. Driven to the corner by Wyatt, the Field Marshal had two choices:

-Wait for Wyatt to accept her. -Do something to gain Wyattʼs acceptance. The Field Marshal was not a big fan of waiting around so she decided to do something. That was confront Wyatt with evidence, get him to confess, and demand his acceptance. If he still did not accept her then she would ask him what she had to do to gain his acceptance. She was willing to complete all her labors to prove her loyalty to Wyatt.

She would rather die trying to prove her loyalty than be neglected.

Now that the Field Marshal had promised Wyatt her undying loyalty in the presence of the world will, there was no turning back. Whether Wyatt accepted her or not, the Field Marshalʼs loyalty belonged to Wyatt. If Wyatt was still not willing to accept her after all her attempts to prove her loyalty to him, she could only ask him to kill her and set her free. But before she drew her last breath she would ask him, ʼWhy did you trick me into giving you my undying loyalty to you if you did not want it?ʼ
