Going past the initial shock of the events, Diana and Cindy were too afraid to breathe as they witnessed the Southern Hero bend her knees in front of Southern Hope begging him not to force her to taint her family's honor. They felt like they should not be present for this conversation. However, now that they were caught in the middle of it, they were worried leaving might come off offensive. Therefore, they thought of minimizing their presence by seizing to breathe. Aurelia however intently s.h.i.+fted her gaze between her boss and the Field Marshal. As of right now, things appear to be at a tipping point, if her boss handled this correctly he might receive a strong and capable subordinate. However, if he were to play his hands wrong he would have one sh.e.l.l of a strong puppet. She had a feeling that her boss did not want the latter as he already held the strings to the Field Marshal but he had shown that he was willing to let them go since he expected the Field Marshal to be more than a puppet for him.

Wyatt looked at Field Marshal who had gotten on her knees despite him stopping her. He had tried enticing her with carrots and correcting her with the stick but both failed to get the Field Marshal to make Wyatt her priority over the Southern Region and the Royal family. So he used the tested method he knew for sure would get the Field Marshal to give up on the Southern Region and the Royal family, honor. After all, Henricks had long shown him and the world that for her honor the Field Marshal was willing to sit by and watch the Southern Region and the Royal family burn. The only problem was the Field Marshal had her twisted definition of honor, making it difficult for just anyone to use it against her. Wyatt was in awe of whoever groomed the Field Marshal into what she was today. "Field Marshal, I asked you if you could serve me with your heart and mind but you could not decide so I chose to free you from your oath. Also, I did not want to force you to choose between me and the Southern region & royal family. I understand where you are coming from, going back on your words will hurt your honor but not doing your duty properly will also hurt your honor. You cannot have it both ways. This is not meant to be, let us leave it at that," Wyatt spoke, making it clear to Field Marshal that he would be willing to take her back only if she was willing to serve him with her entirety and not just half-a.s.s it by giving her loyalty to him while her heart & mind belonged to the Southern region & royal family. Saying his piece, Wyatt turned to leave. Listening to him the Field Marshal bit her lower lip seriously considering things and soon closing her eyes letting out a deep breath. Then opening her eyes revealing a frim resolve, she announced, "I am willing." Seeing Wyatt pause she continued, "I swear on my honor to serve you with my entirety." Wyatt turned to look at the Field Marshal and locked eyes with her resolute gaze, he knew that for her a swear on her honor meant more than an oath in the presence of the world's will. However, he still did not agree to accept her. Instead, he neared her and kneeled right in front of her. He daringly took her arms in his and said, "I do not care about our oath in the presence of the world's will or the swear on your honor, With enough strength, one can break free of the constraints of the oath taken in the world's will. With time and under the right conditions even a diamond decays, let alone one's thoughts. Look into my eyes and answer me this do you trust me?" The Field Marshal did not react to Wyatt taking her hands, her gaze remained locked with his as she keenly heard his every word. Then, when it was her turn to answer, she nodded without any hesitation saying, "I do." And morphed into her true appearance. A young silver-haired girl, fourteen or fifteen years of age, with peerless beauty and gorgeous eyes with blue pupils that resembled the boundless morning sky filled with the countless stars that would only be visible in a night sky. This was the Field Marshal's true appearance that she hid not just from Wyatt but the rest of the world even her husband Lorenzo had not had the honor of witnessing it. After all, she was a few centuries old, in terms of mortal age her bones should be decaying and not retaining youth.

Fearing that seeing her true form people would a.s.sume she was vain and afraid of old age she a.s.sumed an image that would not embarra.s.s her and allow her to exert her authority properly. That was also one of the reasons why the Field Marshal did not dare to show herself in front of Wyatt, worried his unique eyes would see her true form. Wyatt was not surprised by the Field Marshal's true appearance but impressed as it was common for demiG.o.ds/devils to retain their youth after ascension to their realms and the younger one's physical body becomes the more potential and room for growth they held. Wyatt eyes gleamed thinking he had not judged the Field Marshal's potential wrong. Looking at the Field Marshal's true appearance, Diana and Cindy who only breathed to sustain themselves while trying to keep their presence minimum almost forgot to breathe and lost their consciousness looking at the Field Marshal's beauty it was truly breathtaking. Aurelia's reaction was totally different, her eyes widened in disbelief seeing that the hero of her childhood bedtime stories in her true form was the same age as her. Now she didn't just want to grow strong enough to defeat a devil in the card master realm but grow that strong in her current age. She would not let the peers of her age outdo her. If Wyatt knew her thoughts he would use his soul pupils on her brain to check how it functioned. ...
