"Speak, why did you call me here?" Luna spoke in a sore mood.

"Ask him. He is the one that insisted on meeting you despite me warning him that you are too busy for this." It seems I misjudged Anna. She sold me out in mere seconds.

"What is it, Wyatt? What couldn't wait for another day that you had me rush here? Instead of visiting me inside the camp." Luna seemed to be pissed at us for distributing her during her work. I don't blame her as a fellow researcher. I understand where she is coming from.

"Dr. Luna, I wanted an advance payment for the order you placed at my card boutique. I would prefer it if you paid in terms of platinum grimoire instead of the broken runes we agreed upon. Will that be a problem?" At first, I wanted to get a platinum grimoire to prove to Rami Kaga that I could get a platinum grimoire if I wanted to. Later I had a change of heart. I thought wouldn't it be better if I equipped all my eligible calamity daughter gems with the platinum grimoire.

"Advance payment in the form of platinum grimoire… it will not be a problem. But first, tell me, how many do you need?" Thankfully Luna was reasonable and was willing to pay an advance payment in the form of the platinum grimoire.

"How many do you have now?" I didn't just need platinum grimoire from now but also want to stock up for future purposes.

"What do you mean by now? Why would I walk around with a bunch of platinum grimoire on me? What use would I have for them? If you tell me a number, I can have my people collect the grimoires for you by tomorrow." What Luna said made sense. She, herself, uses a diamond grimoire. What use would she have for platinum grimoire?

"What? That won't do. I need one right now. Tell me you have one platinum grimoire on you right now." My read on Rami Kaga told me that tomorrow he would visit my card boutique to check if I can really get a platinum grimoire. So, I need one to show him that it would be in his best interest to follow my arrangement without resisting or smartassery.

"Sorry, I don't have one on me right now. If it helps, I can get you one by tomorrow morning." Luna offered considerately.

"By tomorrow morning? Can you be more specific?" Morning represented a wide range of time. Who knows when old Rami will pop by. I had to be prepared.

"If it is that urgent, I can use my teleportation card to fetch you the platinum grimoire." Luna is hesitant about this because of the new family rules. After the over deal with Sansa Baylor's secret organization attacking Anna's grandma and me, all the people with southern royal bloodline were ordered to be on alert. Considering the effect of Sansa's origin card being alert was not enough since it makes it difficult to know who is an ally and who is an enemy. Therefore, to avoid complications, all the juniors of the Royal bloodline were asked not to use their teleportation card carelessly. The Royal family was being this careful because they did not know what Sansa had in store for them. What if she manages to get her hands on one of the family's juniors? There is no telling how badly it could end. So the juniors were asked to save the transportation card for emergency purposes only.

"Yes, do that. It would really help my situation." I didn't know why Luna did not suggest this earlier, but now that she did, I hope she does so.

"Oka…" Luna was about to agree with me but was interrupted by Anna.

"You don't have to do that. I know someone who has a platinum grimoire." Saying that, Anna turned to look into the darkness of the night and ordered, "Ask Connerty to come here."

"Anna, are you sure Connerty has a platinum grimoire?" Luna asked in concern. Seeing Anna and Luna, two of the top figures in the southern region, struggle to get their hands on platinum grimoire, I finally realized how hard it is to get a platinum grimoire. Or maybe Anna and Luna wouldn't have such a hard time if they were back home.

"I awarded it to him for his daughter, graduating as the top of the batch from Southern military university. Since Wyatt needs it now, we can ask him to be considerate. But you will have to give him back a platinum grimoire as soon as possible and compensate for his troubles." Anna explained. I knew she was close to soldiers of the southern watch, but I did not realize that she was so deeply involved in their families too. Bright family is one such example. At first, I thought it was only for a select few, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

"Don't worry. I will get the grimoire by tomorrow, along with the grimoires for Wyatt. Or would he prefer it if I directly sent it to his daughter?" Luna also seemed to appreciate this side of Anna.

"No, don't do that. You would be robbing him of the joy he would feel when he personally gifts the grimoire to his daughter." As Anna spoke these words, I saw an shadow of eager little girl longing for her father's love in her. Was I wrong? I thought she hated him. Enough to massacre his second family and their relatives.

"Okay. Wyatt, give me the number of platinum grimoires you need. I will get them by tomorrow." Luna asked me how many platinum grimoires I needed. This nonchalant question from Luna throws my previous conception about how scares the platinum grimoire is, down in the drains. These girls are local tyrants. I guess everything is available for them with the snap of their fingers.
