Though the Field Marshal was bound to give Wyatt her undying loyalty, he did not plan to treat her unfairly by getting her to work for him for nothing. Rather, he now planned to win her over completely by showing her what he was capable of. Besides, he had never treated his subordinates poorly.
Not to mention, Wyatt wanted to make the Field Marshal his trump card against any unforeseen foes. Especially, in the case of Belphegor and the seven princes of hell. They had invested all their wealth into invading the card world. Wyatt believed they would not hesitate to use any means to not only gain their investment but also the profit they dreamed of making through this venture.
Wyatt alone could not take on all seven princes of hell. Each one of them was as strong as Belphegor, Wyatt's rehabilitated criminal army could deal with their demon armies but he also needed to make sure that the card world had Card apprentices capable of facing the Seven Princes of hell head-on.
That was where the Field Marshal came into the picture. She had a lot of potential but was limited by the bounds of the card world. Had she been in the Dark Realm, Wyatt did not have any doubt the Field Marshal would have become a ruler class by now. Still, it was not too late, with proper resources and guidance she could grow stronger.
Not to mention, the Field Marshal was just the start of Wyatt's plan, with her by his side he was sure he could recruit more trustworthy demigods capable of becoming ruler class beings. After all, in a world where everything revolved around strength, once Field Marshal proves herself as the strongest of all, many will gather around her to learn from her.
"Sure," Wyatt agreed and then informed her, "I wanted you to open the dungeon seal gate here. Someone else will also be joining us for the breakfast."
"Okay," Cortney nodded thinking Wyatt was talking about Susan. Heading out of the dining hall, Wyatt gently landed the kids on the floor and retrieved his celestial force.
Arriving in the hall, Cortney opened the gate to the dungeon seal. When Bloodette was within her innate rune she was able to use most of her abilities such as summoning the gate of the dungeon seal.
While Cortney waited for Susan to exit the dungeon seal, she saw a familiar figure with an unfamiliar face exit the gate. It was a woman with a graceful body and a bit taller and older than Cortney, herself. She looked like she was in her late twenties, meaning she at least had to be in her late thirties or early forties. Looking at the hideous scar on the woman's forehead, Cortney felt an innate sadness from deep within her soul. It was as if her soul was moaning at a loss.
"Wyatt, who is this?" Cortney asked, shock and sadness evident in her voice.
"How is this possible?" the Field Marshal exclaimed in shock. Even though she knew Wyatt had rescued Clown Mask from the secret facility, to see the Clown Mask appear in front of her a few minutes after agreeing to the wager was a huge shock to her.
