"Wyatt, what went wrong with you that you have such a hard time trusting others?" Colleen asked Wyatt after listening to his words.
"You know my story better than me. So, tell me," Wyatt replied.
"I don't know, since you appear to trust that girl Susan. I have never seen you second guess her," Colleen spoke the truth, Wyatt trusted Susan to be his manager and never questioned or interfered in her work not even under the guise of helping her.
"That should be because she never let me down," Wyatt took a shot at Colleen and her family's history of letting Wyatt down time and again.
"That is low, Wyatt. You know we are doing everything in our power," Colleen argued.
"Really? Why was the field marshal Hentsend not in my protection detail during the ambush?" Wyatt asked proving that the southern royal family was not doing their best for Wyatt.
"Even though she was nearby, she was busy guarding the dual gate dungeon. You know the economic benefits of that dungeon to the southern region better than anyone," Colleen defended.
"The dual gate dungeon will bring huge economic benefits to the southern region but does it outweigh the benefits brought by the Silver Milk Powder? If you are going to prioritize one over the other, then should you guys not be prioritizing my safety over everything else? Instead, what did you guys do? If I had not made prior preparations I would be experiencing unspeakable torment in Belhpegor's hell," Wyatt said sternly.
"We thought 15 teams of demigods along with me and other shadow teams should be enough for your protection. But there is no winning with you. So, let us just stop here," Colleen stopped arguing knowing that Wyatt made valid points and she could not win the argument.
Wyatt shook his head and then thinking of something, he asked Colleen, "How long after killing a devil/demon does it take for one to receive the grace of the world's will as a reward? I have yet to receive the grace of the world for killing Belphegor's Worldhog incarnation."
"Worldhog incarnation?" Colleen asked Wyatt in surprise.
"That devil we killed is not the original body of the but an incarnation of the devil Belphegor," Wyatt explained.
"How do you know this?" Colleen asked Wyatt, as their conversation progressed she was starting to find that Wyatt was very mysterious.
Earlier she believed him to be a genius born once a millennium but now he was starting to seem like a mysterious being capable of anything. She still could not figure out how Wyatt solved the plague egg incubated in him and how returned to this world after leaving with Henricks for another world. She was willing to bet her life that Henricks would not just send Wyatt back when he could be a very valuable asset to Freedom Fighters willingly or forced. Not to forget the plague egg was created using realm fragment. Hold up, In what world does a card master manage to defeat a devil?
"It's the devil I borrowed power from to save Anna and defeat Agent Forger. Did I not tell you about this before? And you haven't answered me yet," Wyatt said trying to get the conversation back on track.
"If the devil you killed is an incarnation, then you will not be awarded any grace from the world," Colleen replied and then asked, "You still did not tell me how you know about us building a new silver milk powder factory next to the southern capital?"
"Damn it, had I known this I would have killed the other five devils and the demons," Wyatt cussed aloud not planning to answer Colleen. Besides was genuinely disappointed about not being rewarded grace by the world's will. After all, the world's grace can help one improve their active soul control percentage and origin card.
Seeing Wyatt cuss aloud instead of answering her, Colleen frowned. She took the hint that Wyatt did not plan to answer where he received the information from but she was really curious about this because inside the dungeon even her diamond grimoire could not contact the outside worlds so how did Wyatt's gold grimoire get the information from the outside world?
Colleen was sure Wyatt had learned this information after entering the dungeon seal because her conversation with Wyatt before entering the dungeon seal was intimat— fine. Even after entering the dungeon seal, he seemed to be fine but just now when he awakened from his spiritual one with world state, things were different.
Prompting Colleen to wonder if Wyatt had comprehended some kind of Blood Rule meaning related to divination or far-communication. Inside this holy place of blood rule, those types of blood rule meaning would work wonders.
Feeling an awkward silence looming inside the cave, Jaya decided to skedaddle before one of them took interest in her, "Your Highness, I just remembered I need to head to the office early today and shred some documents. So, I will take my leave now."
"Slow down Jaya, let me see how the work culture has changed since the last time I worked," Colleen said as she followed Jaya to leave the dungeon seal.
"Your Highness you used to work in an office too?" Jaya asked in shock and amazement.
"Yes, briefly when I was suspended for a year," Colleen said reminiscing about her youth.
"You were suspended for a year?" Jaya asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, for insubordination. You read about it in my biography," Colleen replied as she stepped out of the cave.
Seeing Colleen leave with Jaya, Wyatt was without words and shook his head in dismay. There was no point in continuing their conversation as both were unwilling to share what they were up to with each other. This was better, with Colleen now Wyatt was free to attend to more pressing matters. But first, he had to get Sarah to guard the dungeon seal gate, so as not to repeat what happened with Jaya.
