'Hey, brat. Your words are starting to touch the line of ambiguity. Watch it, or I don't mind thrashing you around until you learn to respect your elders,' The Field Marshal warned Wyatt feeling the ambiguous nature of his words could not be more apparent. First, he undermined her husband to her, and now this, if she did not know better she would think Wyatt was hitting on her.

'Wow, just wow, well it's good to know where your mind is at, Your Highness,' Wyatt indirectly said the Field Marshal's mind was in a gutter for her to even imply such a thing.

'Watch it,' the Field Marshal uttered, as she covered the Rainbowfly with her intent. Feeling a sense of dread Wyatt hurriedly said, 'Your Highness, I don't understand why are you so hesitant about swearing your loyalty to me when you not only want me to join your family but also become the hope of the South. If you don't trust me how can you be willing to welcome me into your family and entrust the Southern region to me? Isn't this baffling to you?'

'You don't but I do. Because it pains to know that you do not trust me after all I have done and been through for the Southern Region. Yes, I look out for my profits but I was also born and raised in the southern region, I am a Southerner by birth. Just like the rest of the Southerners, I am willing to risk my life for the Southern region. Have I not made it clear by now?' Wyatt asked the Field Marshal expressing his anguish knowing that Field Marshal would not trust him. He acted his part so well that even he felt he might have meant the words he spoke.

'Cut the crap, what is your point?' the Field Marshal said mercilessly. Feeling that Wyatt's words were starting to sway her mindset, she immediately got defensive. That was a natural reaction, after all, one would want to stick to their beliefs and protect them but only a very small group of people would keep their minds open and see the flaws in their beliefs and try to correct them. It wasn't surprising to see the Field Marshal was not part of that small group. But it was good to know that she was willing to contemplate them. Showing Wyatt a chunk in her armor.

'Your Highness, let me make this easier for you. Will you be willing to bet your loyalty if I promised that I will always keep the best interest of the Southern Region in my mind,' Wyatt said knowing that unless he assured the Field Marshal that he would not use her loyalty against the Southern Region and its people she would never be willing to bet her loyalty with him.

'What about the Southern Royal family?'

'What about them?'
