“What did you say?” Colleen exaggeratedly asked her aide to repeat himself to check if she heard him right the first time.

“Demigod Baylor has not stated his purpose of visit but he said that he will be traveling with his wife,” the aide repeated himself in detail.

“…” listening to her aide repeat the same thing the second time, Colleen was sure she did not hear him wrong the first time and thought, ‘that bitch is daring.’

The paw clan’s ambush that nearly claimed her life during the mission forsaken treasure was still fresh in Colleen’s mind. Ever since she found out that the mastermind behind the ambush was Sansa she has been waiting for a chance to rip her a new one. If not for her daughter convincing her to maintain the status quo she would have sieged the Baylor manor in the central capital in a fit of rage the very next day. She was where Anna learned how to hold a grudge.

Old and new grudges aside, Colleen was confused not knowing the purpose of the demigod Baylor’s visit with his wife.

The clown mask had already made it clear that the central capital Baylor family was not involved with Matron’s paw clan. So Colleen knew Sansa was coming here as demigod Baylor’s wife and not as Matron.

But considering the timings, Colleen felt skeptical. She opens an internal investigation for the royal court ministers to find the paw clan spies and the big lady boss herself shows up at her doorstep, coincidence?

It has to be because even with her origin card Sansa could not pull something like this, it hasn’t even been five minutes since Colleen had ordered an internal investigation into the royal court. Matron was capable of many things but omnipotence was not one of them.

“Your highness,” at the risk of being rude, the aide called Colleen for an answer. If the guest were not a reputed demigod then the aide would not bother.

“Uhm,” Colleen thought hard about whether to give the demigod Baylor permission, considering the lethality of Sansa’s origin card Colleen did not know if it would be a good idea to invite the wolf into the pigpen. So she was conflicted.

If it was up to her she would have prepared a guillotine right at the royal warp array to behead Sansa as soon as she steps into the southern region but things were not that easy, as a royal, even her small actions had serious consequences so she could only bury such thoughts and with great perseverance say, “Permit him… on a second thought I will be personally receiving them. Prepare the necessary arrangements to receive them.”

“Yes, your highness, right away,” the aide bowed to Collen and left to make the necessary arrangements.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

As the aide left, Colleen summoned her grimoire and called one of the demigods on duty to guard the royal palace.

“Good morning, your highness. How may I be of your service today?” A playful voice answered Colleen’s call. Hearing it Colleen’s frown deepened as she warned, “Backster, I am not in the mood for your shenanigans today. So don’t make me repeat myself twice.”

“Your wish is my command, my liege,” Demigod Backster answered.

“Sigh… I am receiving an important guest at the royal warp array so I need you to keep the entire royal court under lockdown and help Richard with my internal investigation into the royal court ministers,” knowing demigod Backster long enough Colleen just gave up and stated her purpose.

“Is it regarding the mysterious Matron and paw clan?” demigod Backster was one of many demigods who originated in the southern region and were employed by the southern royal family. His loyalty towards the Heatsend royal family and the southern region was unquestionable, therefore he was informed about Matron and the paw clan. But not about the Clown mask and her future vision.

“Yes,” Colleen answered.

“Your highness, you should have led with that, leave it to me. I will be right there,” demigod Backster finally got serious, learning that the current issue was regarding the paw clan which was slowly rusting the southern region.

“On that note, Marton is traveling with the important guest I am about to receive at the royal warp array,” Colleen revealed and then added, “she will be traveling as Sansa, the wife of demigod Baylor.”

p-A- n-d-A-n-0-v-e-1、(c)om “Is she aware that we are aware of the existence of her second identity?” Demigod Backster did not waste his breath questioning the obvious and directly asked the crux of the issue.

“I don’t think she knows but let’s see,” Colleen was also worried about Sansa noticing that they were aware of her second identity and her plans for the southern region. The reason for her worry was the more Sansa was in the dark the more time they had to undo Sansa’s web over the southern region.

“If you want I can receive the guest and you can continue with your internal investigation into the royal court,” Demigod Backster was fully aware of the bad blood between the Matron and Colleen, so considering Colleen’s anger issues he thought it would be for the best if he received demigod Baylor and his wife.

“No, I got this besides I need you to use your infamous item card ‘Heart’s Mirror’ on every royal court minister,” Colleen had her plans for Matron’s visit to the southern region. And demigod Backster’s item card ‘Heart’s Mirror’ was the reason she called him for help with an internal investigation into the royal court instead of any other demigod who took their job seriously.

“No wonder you called for me, you needed my item card ‘Heart’s Mirror’ not me, and here I was thinking I had finally managed to leave a good impression on you and change your mind about me,” demigod Backster said sarcastically as he was well aware that Colleen was not a huge fan of his.
