“Wyatt, your reasons to suspect Cole are valid but not enough. Without proper evidence, even the southern emperor cannot judge a member of the vassal family of the Royal family,” Having heard her protectee’s speculation Agatha too felt he made sense but even if what he said was confirmed there was not enough evidence to support it. So, Agatha did not see how this helped their current situation and added, “Now that your plans have been leaked to the enemy shouldn’t you be aborting your mission.”
“Agatha, if you think I come here with one plan in mind then you are seriously underestimating me,” I said while I called Anna. I decided to ignore Agatha’s input on this matter as she did not know about the matron and her scary origin card. But Anna knew, so she will understand my reasoning and worries.
[Calling Anna…]
“Hello, Wyatt. Do you miss me already?” Anna’s enthusiastic voice sounded from the other side of the grimoire call.
“Yes, the outside world is too scary,” I played alone with Anna, which caught her off guard causing her to shyly reply, “Should I come over there to help you immediately? I don’t mind breaking a few laws to help you.”
“No, I need you at the sky blossom city to verify something. Where is Cole right now?” I asked Anna.
“I don’t know he left right after you,” hearing Anna’s answer my suspicion of Cole grew. Then I immediately asked Anna, “Anna you trust me right?”
“Yes, you know I do,” Anna answered without hesitation.
“My plan to attack the circle’s branch in sun blossom city has been leaked, even the part about me having a semi-demigod bodyguard was leaked, and I have reasons to believe Cole had something to do with this…” I narrated my speculation to Anna without revealing the fact that I knew about the matron and her paw clan while hinting to her to conclude that Sansa was behind this and Cole was a part of the paw clan. So that Anna would approach Cole carefully keeping in mind Sansa’s dreadful origin card that allowed her to turn her victim brain dead with a thought.
Thankfully for me, Ann was right next to Anna listening to the entire conversation, so she understood what I was implying, “Wyatt, this is Ann. Don’t worry we will find Cole immediately and approach him cautiously. What about you? Do you plan to abort your attack and return now that your plans have been leaked to the enemy?”
“No, I will continue my attack using the contingency plan. You guys handle Cole,” I replied.
“I thought so good luck,” Ann wished me good luck and was about to hang up the call but was interrupted by Anna, “Ann, you go handle Cole. I will see whether Wyatt requires any further assistance.”
I don’t know what transpired there but I knew for sure that Anna got her way after hearing her say, “Wyatt, do you need any assistance with the mission? Now that enemy knows your plan you will need more help, do you want me to hire mercenaries and send them over?”
“No, don’t. I have enough numbers. What I am lacking is a personal arsenal of powerful cards. So, I would like you to ask Luna about the advance on broken Runes we talked about,” Luna did promise to give me advance payment for the project she ordered. I have been waiting on them quite patiently for Luna to bring it up but now I could not.
“I will talk to her, but I cannot promise anything to you. But I have some broken runes on me. Do you want me to bring them over?” Anna asked.
“No, pass what you can gather to Diana Kieth of the Fine Gold. She will be leading my forces to the sun blossom city, she can bring the broken runes along too,” There was a reason I chose Diana as the courier for the broken runes over one of my calamity daughter gems. My calamity daughter gems don’t need me to impress them but Daina and others needed to be so I was trying to help Diana see that she was playing the right bet. A personal visit from the southern emperor with numerous broken runes as a gift for me was the best way to show it.
“Okay, then I will get to it. You stay safe,” Knowing that my schedule was tight and Diana would soon be leaving the sky blossom city with my forces, Anna hung up on me and headed to execute my request to her without any delay, surprising me.
“I did not know your sugar mama valued you this much, to trust you enough to detain a member of a Royal family’s vassal family without evidence. I knew the Southern emperor was crazy but what she is doing now was bat shit crazy because if this ends badly then it could sow discord between the vassal families and the Royal family. Therefore for your sake, you better hope that your speculation about Cole is correct. Otherwise, as the instigator of this matter, you will be facing serious consequences.” As soon as Aana hung up the call, Agatha spoke out, trying to help me understand the gravity of the situation that if my speculations were wrong then I would be facing serious repercussions, not just me Anna included.
“Don’t worry about it,” I said while I checked the grimoire notifications that I had received while on grimoire call with Anna.

Wyatt, I don’t know how you know about the Matron and her paw clan but I will decide what to do with it after you are done will explain everything to me when this is over. Until then this will be secret between the two of us.]
Reading the message sent to me by Ann, I was shocked to know how much Ann had gathered from a short exchange between us over a grimoire call. But it was good to know that she did not report this to Anna and the rest.
