Walking out of his ntor's office Baylor did not imdiately leave with rage in light of the confidential information he just received. Instead, he approached Jody, his ntor's assistant, "General Jody, about Lt.General Gilliam's call logs, can you share a copy of it with ?"
"Baylor, you know better than to ask that. But since you have asked, let remind you that what you are asking of is against the proper protocol. I cannot share Lt.General Gilliam's call logs with anyone unless the Field Marshal permits it," Jody said without even sparing Baylor a glance.
Demigod Baylor did not argue with Jody and summoning his grimoire he took out an expensive and old bottle of liquor and placed it on Jody's desk saying, knowing why she was acting cold towards him, "Sorry, I couldn't make it to your son's wedding reception, I got caught in sothing important during the work."
Jody glanced at the liquor bottle before saying, "I will forgive you since I know you are not lying and because I like your wife, she was the life party after the couple left for their honeymoon."
Placing the liquor bottle in her grimoire she then said, "Though I can't share the call logs with you, I can tell you that Field General will not be happy with them because it is a dead end since who every Lt.General Gilliam was contacting was smart enough to use encrypt grimoire ID."
"Weren't the communication guys able to get past the encryption?" Baylor asked in displeasure as he still did not know who his assistant was actually working for.
"Nope, the conversation was too short for them to do that," Jody answered.
"Thank you, why can't I get an assistant like you," Baylor thanked Jody for the information.
"You could if you were not so uptight every ti and this charming with everyone," comnted Jody and then added, "If you are thinking of trading up your assistant, I might have a few recomndations, after you busted the corrupt officers club in the governnt, everybody's opinion about you has changed for the better. Word around the block is, being under command is one of the few fastest ways of accumulating rits."
Demigod Baylor understood what Jody ant, people believed that his command got the good missions because he was close to the Field Marshal. Demigod Baylor would have ignored such words considering the rumors generated out of jealousy but with his new knowledge about the governnt he knew better.
"Not yet, but I will rember your offer," saying that Demigod Baylor left the Field Marshal's office and headed straight to his command base to process what he discussed with his ntor and Lois.
This was the first ti he had felt this helpless ever since he beca a demigod. A shadow organization that can use demigods and high-level figures as chess pieces, demigod Baylor no longer understood the world he lived in. The news that the governnt that he believed in and worked hard to protect was just a puppet governnt, shook him the most. To think his ntor, a respected Field Marshal, and a powerful Demigod, was acting as a lobbyist for the organization running the current governnt, Demigod Baylor could not imagine how powerful this organization was. But this also made him look at royal families in a new light as they managed to stand on equal footing with them for centuries. Demigod Baylor did not care as long as they helped him keep Ellen's son safe.

Sansa summoned her grimoire being notified of an incoming call,
[Mighty Hubby Calling…]
The caller was her husband, Sansa didn't waste any ti answering the call, "Are you working overti?"
"Yes," Demigod Baylor answered awkwardly and then said the reason for his call, "I will not be able to make it for the dinner, so don't wait up for ."
"Is Ellen's son's situation that bad?" Sansa asked, faking the worry in her voice.
"Don't worry, I got it all under control," Demigod Baylor replied with a heavy heart.
"You know I can't help it until I see you and Ellen's son at my dinner table," Sansa was surprised that demigod Baylor had not heard about the boy's death yet but she did not let it hinder her acting.
"Listen, there is sothing I can't discuss with you, you are going to hear about it in the news but rember there is nothing to worry about it is all part of my plan," Knowing what the future had in store for him demigod Baylor decided to warn his wife about it because he knew she was the only person left in the world who would genuinely worry for him.
"Honey, I don't know what you're planning but do what you need to do, and rember to co ho later I will be waiting for you right here, in our ho, in sickness and happiness. Can you promise that?" Sansa stopped faking it hearing the rarely heard uncertainty in her husband's voice and genuinely speaking from her heart.
"I don't deserve you," Demigod Baylor choked as he spoke these words, and calming himself down he said, "I promise you, I will always return to you until death do us part."
Though Baylor had promised this life for his unrequited love for Ellen, all Sansa asked him of was to be by her side and share his sorrow and happiness with her, as long as these two did not cross each other he had no qualms about promising Sansa what she asked for.
"Good, I will be waiting for you," after Sansa said that Baylor hung up as no more words needed to be spoken based on their mutual understanding of each other. They were an odd couple, one of a kind.
Though Demigod Baylor's heart had no place for Sansa, he had always been the model husband. He never felt short in that departnt, the problem was he could never bring himself to do what actually truly defined a marriage, still, he managed to check all the boxes except that one.
