"Wyatt-" the Field Marshal muttered looking at her young liege who forgave her for her crimes against him under her former superiors' command. However, she wasn't relieved knowing that he no longer considered her a traitor. Though her young liege had concluded she bore no sin for her actions before she swore her loyalty to him his heart now burned with hatred for her niece, the true culprit, for what she had stolen from him. This wasn't something the Field Marshal wanted. "Enough!" Noticing that Field Marshal still had a mind to speak on behalf of her niece Wyatt thundered even though the former ultimately chose not to do so. He knew what the Southern Princess did was what she believed to be the best for the Southern Region, to stop a third party from having a huge influence on the future Southern Ruler, but he did not care as she stole someone precious to him. Regardless of her reasons he could never forgive her for what she did.

"Did you guys forget Anna is one of the anchors keeping me ported in the Southern region? Without her on my side and with this treachery, I have two more reasons to leave the Southern Region," Wyatt reminded the Field Marshal that not many things were tying him to the Southern Region. If they recklessly cut the reasons tying him to the Southern Region one after other then they might have to bid him goodbye.

Listening to Wyatt's words Field Marshal wasn't surprised as she too had asked the same thing to her niece when she was ordered to become the spark that ignited Anna's obsession which in turn burned her relationship with Wyatt. Now, she was going to repeat the same thing her niece told her to her young liege, "Wyatt, ever since you waged your life to save Anna, everyone learned about your love for Anna though you did not show it.

So, my niece concluded that if we were to erase Anna's feelings for you using her origin card, she would stop pestering you to love her and for a change, you would be the one following Anna around trying to rekindle her feelings for you. This way, not only will your influence over Anna decrease to nil but we might be able to influence you through her!

"Brilliant move. Even I, the victim, can't help but be amazed but aren't you guys forgetting someone?" Wyatt's praise was genuine.

Had he not won Field Marshal's absolute loyalty and had she not leaked the news to him, things might have really gone as the Southern Princess planned. He might indeed have become a lovelorn idiot being manipulated by her through Anna. But things could have taken a different turn too.

"Who?" The Field Marshal asked Wyatt curiously. Her loyalties aside, having gotten the front-row seat to Wyatt and her niece's fight she was enjoying the battle of wits between them. Sometimes, she even found it more exciting and intriguing than an actual battle.

"Susan Tucci, my good friend and capable manager! Wyatt uttered.

With Anna out of the picture, Wyatt might not chase after her as Southern Princess assumed instead he could more aggressively act on his feelings toward Susan. After all, as a soul from Earth, Wyatt still preferred monogamy. Hence, it was likely that instead of becoming a lovelorn idiot for Anna and being manipulated by the Southern Princess he might start a family with Susan in the Southern Region or somewhere else. Mostly like somewhere else. Things could have gone either way. "Well, she did not forget Susan. She did consider that possibility and had long started her

countermeasures to stop such a possibility from happening-"

"Don't tell me your niece is the reason why Susan rejected to go out on an official date with me? Tell me, what did she do or say to Susan."

Halfway through the Field Marshal's words Wyatt guessed what she was trying to say and interrupted her in a fit of rage recalling the incident in the seed world where Susan rejected his idea to officially date each other.

"Wyatt, calm down," the Field Marshal said looking at the bloodshot-eyed Wyatt who looked like he was about to kill someone. Then, immediately proceeded to clarify, "She did not do or say anything to Susan, at least not directly"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"What is that supposed to mean?' Wyatt questioned controlling his volcanic rage which was about to burst any moment now and incinerate everything in its path leaving behind a trail of destruction. Learning that without him knowing the Southern Princess had not only managed to steal his Queen but was also aiming for his Bishop the amount of rage and guilt he felt was unexplainable. His rage obviously was directed toward the Southern Princess while he felt guilty toward Anna and Susan because he could not protect them from his enemy's schemes.

It might be too late for Anna but in Susan's case there still might be time for him to salvage things. With that hope, he sternly repeated himself to the Field Marshal, "Tell me, what did she do?"

"She used the media to make Susan doubt herself. She made her fear that she might not be worthy of you. She skillfully brews an inner demon in Susan's heart using the daily news on the grimoire network, making her think that you and the Southern Region would be better off if you were to marry someone of higher status or Anna.

I did not think something like this would work but seeing how Susan rejected to go out on an official date with you it seems her efforts have bore amazing results. Well, I don't blame Susan for letting something like this shake her will. I am sure she held on for as long as she could but my niece has always had a knack to read a person's weakness and get them to willingly do her bidding!" Field Marshal Heatsend explained to Wyatt how the Southern Princess had managed to drive a wedge between him and Susan too.
