'I am listening,' the Field Marshal responded, acknowledging the bait that Wyatt threw her way.
'I guess you are not as interested as I thought you were, Your Highness,' Wyatt said pretending to pull the bait away, not getting the right response from the Field Marshal.
'Alright, what do I need to do in return?' the Field Marshal hoped she could get Wyatt to give more but seeing him take away what he was ready to give, she caved and?hurriedly bit the bait.
How could she not? Wyatt was dangling everything she could hope from him in front of her. If she could get Wyatt to willingly embrace his title 'Hope of the South,' as her niece urged her to persuade him to do so, and also get Wyatt to beco a part of their royal family, just as many in their family had hoped, she would beco the hero of the family, especially in Anna's eyes. So she could not help but perk her ears when Wyatt proposed these terms.
'Now, you are speaking my language. In return, I want your full support, switch your alliance to ,' Wyatt revealed his terms. He had long decided to teach Anna's mother a lesson by stealing her most trusted aid, Field Marshal Heatsend.
'Not happening,' the Field Marshal rejected without thinking. Which only made Wyatt smile, as he asked, 'Why not? Don't you want to help the 'Hope of the Southern region?'
'Wyatt, I know what you are trying to do and it will not happen,' the Field Marshal saw through Wyatt's intentions, well he wasn't trying to hide it. He was slowly reeling her in.
'Your Highness, I am not only willing to play my role but also beco your family, what else will it take for to gain your alliance? Besides, What kind of 'Hope of the South' would I be if I didn't have the trust and support of the 'Hero of the South?',' Wyatt pointed out.
After all, the Field Marshal did say, she would not go against her family for soone who was not her family. Now he was practically becoming a part of her family, yet she was hesitant to give him her support.
'It is not as simple as you make it sound,' the Field Marshal retorted, feeling trapped by her own words.
'I see, you want to do as you say but at the sa ti, you don't want to give what I want. Was that simple enough?' Wyatt basically said the Field Marshal wanted to screw him over. Regardless of her nuanced words, that was the gist of it. Not just her, but the entire Southern royal family.
Well, except for Anna. The last ti Wyatt saw her, she gave him the feeling if he asked her to, she would not hesitate to betray the Southern royal family for him. That's the feeling he got from her. That was extre and heartless, but that was how Anna rolled, pursuing what she wanted with one track mind. As for her other worries, they were split into her innate twin Ann. Hence, her thoughts were not much complex, nor was it her style. Wyatt couldn't believe he missed that crazy and spoiled princess.
'Wyatt, you are overthinking things. Things are not that simple. Since you are becoming a part of our family, would you be willing to part with your manager, if I asked you to?' the Field Marshal turned Wyatt's fingers onto him. Asking him, since he was joining their family by marrying Anna, would he give up on Susan?
'Wait, you are telling it's okay for to be with whoever I please even if I chose to beco your family?' Wyatt did not know he could continue to see other people after marrying into the royal family.
'No, that was not what I ant. Stop twisting my words— You devil,' the Field Marshal gave up, understanding there was no winning with Wyatt. He was one of the most difficult person she had t. He was stubborn, uncompromising, and unyielding.
'Your Highness, let make it easier for you. How about we make another wager? If you win you will get what you want without having to do anything in return,' Wyatt proposed. He remained patient, he didn't try to tug too strong worrying that the string would snap and all he worked for so far would be for nothing.
'Another wager? Why would I willingly put myself through that ntal torture again, when I am already experiencing it? No, thank you,' the Field Marshal had already been at the end of her wits about how Wyatt planned to free the Clown Mask when he was busy here. She knew, Wyatt would not give up and had so plan, but she had little idea what it was, which made it harder for her to stay calm. If not for her new mission to get Wyatt to embrace his title as 'Hope of the South' distracting her, she would be wrecking her brains right now trying to figure out Wyatt's ga plan.
When the Field Marshal could not handle the hell of having entered a wager with Wyatt, why would she go out of her way to get herself another one of those, she wasn't a masochist. So, she rejected Wyatt without hesitation. The stakes proposed by Wyatt were indeed very attractive, but she did not think her mind could handle another one of Wyatt's mind gas. She wasn't up to the challenge.
'Fine. I will make it a lot easier for you, how about we bet on an already existing wager?' Wyatt proposed to improve on their already existing wager, seeing that the Field Marshal would not even consider the idea of entering another wager with him.
The Field Marshal contemplated for a second and then responded, 'How do we do that?' Though she was unsure what Wyatt was up to she decided to hear him out.
