"I need to tell you something. I have been putting off this long enough, and now I don"t know how much longer I can hide it so here goes, you need to prepare yourself to hear what I am going to say next, it is regarding Anna and her isolated training..." before the Field Marshal could finish Wyatt interrupted her as he urgently inquiried her, "What about Anna? Did something happen to her during the isolated training?"
"So, you do care about my grandniece which makes it more difficult to tell what I am about to say next. Sigh, Wyatt, I screwed up big time. I will not make excuses but I hope you will find it in your heart to forgive me, Seeing and hearing the concern for Anna"s well-being in Wyatt"s eyes and voice the Field Marshal sighed imagining what was to come next. Now, she regretted blindly following her niece"s orders. She should not have meddled in her grandniece"s love life.
"Whatever it is you did would you please just tell me already?" Wyatt yelled at the Field Marshal in hysteria.
Listening to her words, tone, and expression he could not help but a.s.sume the worst. He knew Anna was next in line for the Southern throne, his brain was telling him nothing bad could possibly happen to her in the Field Marshal"s care but his heart could not help but worry imagining the worst. Unable to handle the chaos in his mind and heart he yelled at the Field Marshal to stop beating around the bush and get to the point.
"Woah, you really do care about her don"t you, Field Marshal Heatsend was taken aback by Wyatt"s reaction she believed that spending his time in the arms of his beautiful manager, Wyatt might have forgotten about Anna who was in isolated training but seeing him who did not lose calm in face of certain death lose calm after hearing her grandniece was in trouble she could not help but wonder if one could love two simultaneously,
"A parent sure but a lover no way; the Field Marshal shook her head in dismay and thought she was being foolish for a notion such as that to cross her mind. A teenage girl who hasn"t seen the world might believe in such romanticism but she who had walked all walks of life knew better.
Annoyed Wyatt stared at the Field Marshal who was lost in her thoughts after ripping only half of the bandaid, waiting for her to rip the other half he lost his patience and cussed in frustration, "Motherfocker!"
Seeing him like this Cortney and Bloodette unconsciously took a step back. The Wyatt they saw right now only looked like a human but oozed the aura of a beast. Fortunately, Wyatt"s tantrum awakened the Field Marshal from her thoughts in time.
"Sorry, I will get to it right away, the Field Marshal proceeded to clarify under the warth-filled gaze of Wyatt"s, "Before I deliver the bad news there is a piece of good news, Anna is about to break through to the Card DemiG.o.d realm!"
"That is a great news! Wyatt exclaimed. All his worries vanished knowing Anna was amidst breaking thought to Card DemiG.o.d realm. He was happy to know she was doing well. But soon his brows narrowed thinking of what the Field Marshal was hesitating to tell him, "So, what is the problem? Shouldn"t this be a cause of celebration?"
"Yes, it is a cause of celebration for the entire Southern Region except you, the Field Marshal replied
dejectedly then shortly she continued, "You see Anna was born with an extreme obsession. Since her birth, she had shown signs of that. Her mother made sure to control that dangerous obsession of hers by becoming the target of her obsession. However, my niece had underestimated her daughter"s obsession which had grown stronger when Anna awakened as a Card Apprentice. Fortunately for her, Anna found her fated ingredient before things got out of control. It helped her morph her obsession for her mother into Ann, her origin card... Wyatt, you get the gist of where I am going with this, right?"
The Field Marshal was so ashamed of what she had done that she could not bring herself to speak of it, she hoped Wyatt would spare her the pain of narrating it out loud. However, to her shock, Bloodette suddenly spoke up, "No, we don"t get the gist.-"
"Tuck!" Cortney cussed as she hurriedly closed Bloodette"s mouth.
The Field Marshal ignored the duo and focused on Wyatt, looking at his pained expression and his anguish-filled eyes she figured he had already pieced it all together with what little she had revealed to him. She was grateful to Wyatt for not making her speak the despicable thing she did to her own grandniece.
But unfortunately for her Wyatt was many things but being generous to those that wronged him wasn"t one of them. Soon he suppressed the pain and anguish in his heart enough to mutter, "Say it. Tell them what you did.
"..." the Field Marshal dumbfoundedly stared at Wyatt as just now she was thinking he was a sage for not holding what she had done to him against her but it appears she was overthinking it. She did not blame him for it as the crime she had committed was an unforgivable sin.
"I said, tell them what you did!" Wyatt thundered as his bloodshot eyes glared at the Field Marshal threateningly. But before the Field Marshal could utter a word he screamed again, "Tell them how the Southern Hero destroyed the Southern Hope!"
"Wyatt," Cortney and Bloodette whispered in concern feeling Wyatt"s pain and anguish from from his words and actions. They wanted to listen in on their friend"s saucy love life and gossip about it later but never did they imagine that things would take such a dark turn. Though they had no idea what was going on, they knew their friend was in a lot of pain and the one who hurt him was none other than their new friend and Hero, Field Marshal Heatsend.
