“…” Hearing the excuse Anna’s grandma gave me I could only stare at her blankly. Because having read the memories of my calamity daughter gems, it was clear that Van had gotten a traveling permit for each passenger on the floaters.

“Once everything is sorted out they will be released, so you have nothing to worry about,” Anna’s grandma said dodging my eyes and I knew why. Because the southern watch had already agreed to release my people under the condition that they were not to leave the sky blossom city until their investigation into this case was over. Clearly, this was Anna’s grandma’s attempt to stop me from leaving the southern region.

“I see,” I said knowing that I could not take on the entire southern region over every little disagreement after they have been so good to me. Right now I was facing the age-old dilemma of what to do when the people that care for you and you care for, become an obstacle in your path thinking that they know better than you about the choice you should be making for your life.

“I will be taking my leave, your highness,” I said deciding to go and find Susan and the others but before leaving I turned to look at Anna who was looking at me in concern and said, “This doesn’t change anything between us.”

Hearing her grandma Anna reluctantly let go of me before saying, “I will take you to where your people are detained.”

“No, I know my way,” I reject Anna as I did not want Susan to see Anna clinging to me. Not that I wanted to keep my relationship with Anna hidden from Susan, it is just that a lot has happened since I have last seen Susan.

Seeing the boy leave, Lorenzo turned to look at his sister-in-law and said, “See, I told you that kid will not change his mind. He is stubborn as hell. It’s like he is not willing to listen to reason and is seeking death.”

“I can see that, but we cannot just let him continue doing things as he pleases. He has been very lucky so far. If he were to continue as such, soon, one day he will run out of luck and the southern region will lose its shot at redemption for losing the silver beach dungeon,” Colleen seemed to have not yet given up on the idea of persuading the boy to take the safer route.please visit panda(-)N0ve1.co)m

“Grandma, everyone here knows that Wyatt isn’t just all luck, he was able to survive so far because he is capable,” Anna came to her lover’s defense.

“Girl, I don’t know what I am going to do with you. Now I am starting to see why people protested when your grandpa made you his heir instead of your uncle despite the risk of offending your grandpa. Even if you can’t see what’s best for the southern region, can’t you see what’s best for your young lover? If he goes to the central region, there isn’t much we can do to cover for him,” Colleen was the first supporter of Anna taking the southern royal throne after her husband but now seeing Anna’s actions she was thinking if she should reconsider.

Losing the silver beach gate dungeon had already made this generation of the Heatsend royal family the black sheep of their family, especially Anna’s grandpa who was the current generation head of the family. Despite his years of spotless service to the family at the very end of his term something like this happened, turning his merit of flawless and selfless service to the family for all the centuries worthless. He would forever be known as the sinner of the Heatsend family for letting the silver beach gate dungeon be stolen under his watch.

Though there was nothing Colleen could do about what had happened, she planned to try her best to help her husband’s case by grooming a genius that would bring more prosperity to the southern region than the production and supply of silver milk powder. The reason why Colleen, the soldier queen, was willing to go so low as to pressure a junior was that she blamed herself for bringing shame to her husband’s name, if only she had been a little faster then maybe all this could have been avoided. It was Colleen’s guilt and her love for her husband that made her so desperate.

“Grandma, Wyatt must have his plans. Please trust him. If you can’t trust Wyatt, trust me,” Anna vouched for her lover’s actions.

“Y-you, your mother was right. You will bring our family to ruins,” If Colleen was the first to support her husband’s decision to make Anna his heir, Anna’s mother was the first to disapprove his decision, claiming that Anna was an idiot who could not even take care of her docile pet pixie dragon let alone the entire southern region and its citizens.

“Your Highness, if I may,” Lorenzo suddenly spoke up.

“…” Colleen nodded her head.

“Wyatt has made it clear that he would rather pay high-interest rate rather than follow your highness’s arrangement for him. So I propose that we pardon his debt—-” before Lorenzo could finish his sentence Colleen yelled interrupting him, “Am I the only one here who thinks that we should stop the boy before he hurts himself?”

“Your highness, I completely agree with you that the boy is a danger to himself. But if you plan to use force against him than I would strongly advise you against that. Using force will only strain our already strained relationship with the boy. The boy has been able to successfully fake his death twice, I don’t think he will have trouble doing it for the third time—” Once again Lorenzo was interrupted by Colleen who furiously yelled, “I am the ruler of this land, I control the fate of everyone living in this land yet how come I am not able to decide the fate of a mere boy?”
