After being warned by Wyatt to check up on her subordinates managing the facility holding Clown Mask, the Field Marshal who lowkey thought that Wyatt was losing the wager on purpose to marry into the Southern Royal family while saving face, received a call from her head warden in charge of the personally monitoring Clown Mask.

Getting the head warden's call the Field Marshal's expression darkened, because he shouldn't be able to call her as he should be beside Clown Mask's holding cell personally monitoring her closely. This meant that he could not access soul energy to summon his grimoire and call her. For him to be calling her meant that he was no longer in the space containing the secret facility, but outside. She had personally head-hunted the warden and knew that he was not the type to disobey her direct order. Leaving only one possibility, Wyatt had pulled a miracle out of his ass.

As this dawned upon the Field Marshal, she understood what her niece had been warning her about had happened and it was too late for her to do anything about it but to submit to her fate. She had been tricked by Wyatt into giving him her loyalty for nothing in return.

The Field Marshal wondered how long Wyatt had been planning this because she did not believe Wyatt decided to enter a wager with her on a whim and pulled out a miracle from his ass. He must have been planning this for long even before he approached her with the wager. Then she recalled how the conversation started with Wyatt wanting to start a criminal rehabilitation program and it ended with her taking an oath to give her loyalty to him in a wager. No matter how many times she played events in her mind she could not fathom how it all pieced together so perfectly, similar to an architect building a skyscraper.

"Sigh~" the Field Marshal sighed unable to fathom what she was going to do now. She instinctively wanted to call her niece and inform her about the idiotic thing she did but then she realized her loyalty was now Wyatt's or did she have the time till the wager ends? Has the wager been concluded now that the Clown Mask was not in the facility? The Field Marshal's mind was in a mess. She did not know whether to get angry at Wyatt for tricking her or to get angry at herself for being stupid enough to fall for a teenager's trick.

However, once the initial sadness and confusion settled and the Field Marshal's mind was in order she did not regret anything. Even the fact that she took the initiative to take the oath that was now compelling her to hold up her promise. She knew what she was agreeing to, she did it out of her violation, and she was responsible for her choices. Resolving to her fate the Field Marshal contacted Wyatt, 'How did you do it?'
