"You finally decided to show yourself, where have you been until now? I was so worried about you," Anna asked the boy in concern as she dove into his embrace. For the last few hours, she was unable to track his whereabouts. She could not trace the location of the ring she gave him for his protection. So despite her belief, her mind could not help but wander around thinking the worst. Only when she saw her beloved did her heart finally rest.

After winning the wager against the devil and forcefully sending it back to where it belonged, I used my remaining strength to find Cortney. Because I wanted to stash the bonded storage card containing the calamity trap imprisoning Agent Lois in Bloodette's dungeon seal. Considering that she had a legendary physique, I bet her people should have ways to find her so to avoid their tracking I decided to hide the storage card in Bloodette's dungeon seal as I did with demigod Redfall's soul.

To my surprise, I found Cortney and Corey together, without giving much explanation I asked Bloodette to send me inside her dungeon seal while I gave in to Corey's constant pestering and answered her that her mother had not yet felt the southern region but was detained at the southern watch military camp in the outskirts of the city. As for the devil's breath on my body, I promised to talk to her about it later when I had more time on my hand.

Having stashed the storage card in Bloodette's dungeon seal I felt exhausted as the devil's power left my body. The toll of the borrowed power on my body was not little, fortunately, with the powers of calamity soul gem physical exhaustion was not an issue for me but the mental exhaustion was. So I decided to rest in the dungeon seal knowing that no one except Bloodette and Cortney would be able to disturb my rest. With Anna's family at the scene, I had very little to worry about and decided to take some rest in preparation for the aftermath. Knowing that Anna's family would use this incident along with the previous ones to decide my fate as if it was theirs to decide.

So after having a good rest in Bloodette's dungeon seal, I spent a little time with Cortney and Bloodette before I finally decided to show my face at the southern watch camp. If not for Susan and my calamity daughter gems being detained here, I would not bother to visit it knowing that what awaited me was a long lecture on how my life was in danger and the only way I could protect myself and the people I love was by going into hiding, preferably a dark room where I can work tirelessly for the good of the people and the honor of serving the southern royal family.

And as soon as I arrived at the southern watch camp I was greeted by Anna at the gates, this time I did not hesitate to act along with her intimate advances, warping my arm around her wrist I followed her while answering her, "I was exhausted from the fight so I decide to take a little rest."

"Good, as my grandmother wants to meet you and discuss a few things with you," Anna said.

I was not surprised that Anna's grandmother wanted to meet me and have chat as there was a lot to be discussed but I wonder what specifically Anna's grandmother wanted to talk to me about. So I asked, "Anna, do you have any idea what your grandma wants to talk to me about?"

"I do, but it would be best if you hear it from her, as it will sound more sincere when it comes from her," Anna replied dodging my eyes. Seeing this I knew something bad had happened.

"How bad is it? Can I do something to help?" I asked Anna, now that I got the feeling something went wrong I could not help but want to figure it out and fix it to the best of my capabilities.

"It is bad, very bad. All I can say is that brace yourself, and remember that this doesn't change anything between us, no matter what I will continue to love you the same," Anna did not give me any details about what happened, which only worsened my worries about what happened. And what did she mean by 'this doesn't change anything between us, no matter what I will continue to love you the same.' Anna was starting to sound like an alarmist. Making me feel that I should not have bothered to ask her about it and get ahead of whatever bad news was coming my way.

"...." I gave stared hard at Anna for a while before coming to the conclusion that she was being serious. What could have happened that would make me doubt her love for me? Shaking my head I just followed Anna's lead into a luxurious and expensive-looking shack.

Entering the shack, I heard Lorenzo, Ann, and Anna's grandmother, they were in a heated discussion about Luna. Before I could eavesdrop any further they paused and turned to look at me. Each of them had a complicated look in their eyes as they glanced at me. Making me think the worst. Thanks to my calamity daughter gems, for a fact I knew that whatever bad news they were about to give was not related to Susan. Which meant gave me a little comfort.

"Wyatt, you are here," Ann was the first to greet me with a guilty expression. As for Lorenzo, he looked haggard as if he had barely had any sleep for months. I would not be exaggerating if I said that he looked a lot older than before, especially his white hair, which did not have the shine and brilliance it used to have.
