The Field Marshal, a battle nut, knew so much about what Susan was going through because she had seen an important person in her life go through the same thing. That person was none other than her sister-in-law, Colleen, the Southern Queen.
As one of the highly reputed and respected ladies in the Royal & High Society and as the Southern Queen's close confidant, nobody except the Field Marshal truly knew what Colleen went through after marrying the former's brother. Not even the Southern Ruler had a complete grasp of the constant criticism and struggles Colleen had to face as the Southern Queen. If he knew then not even Colleen's persuasion could have stopped him from waging war against the other regions. It was not news that the rich and powerful were snobbish, judgemental, and exclusionists. In Colleen's case, with a group of Southern Ruler's female admires flaming the fire with their untrue but saucy gossip about her, it had reached a whole new level it wouldn't be wrong to call it extreme. Despite such extreme hate directed toward her, Colleen continued to bear it all and persist. In the end, she not only proved herself to them but earned their acceptance for sake of her husband, her in-laws, and the citizens she represented which in turn helped her solidify the trust and respect that. every Southerner had shown her.
Colleen was a fighter but it was not easy for her either. Being her sister-in-law's close confidant the Field Marshal understood the toll all this took on Colleen. Therefore, the Field Marshal knew that what hurt Colleen most wasn't the taunts and criticism of the strangers who overestimated their significance in her life but the pain of her loved ones whose hearts ached every time they saw her being treated as such.
Wyatt recalled the very first day he met Susan in Guild Association Mall and how she trusted someone she just met her fate ingredient and all her life savings. This act might not have been a big beal for others, even Susan herself, but for Wyatt, it meant the world.
Ile felt like there weren't words to explain how much it meant for him for her to trust him. That day when Susan took a chance on him, Wyatt, decided to give trust a second chance. This was difficult for him, especially considering the people he sacrificed his life to protect labeled him as a vigilant and a mass murderer before stabbing him in the back.
The Field Marshal was taken aback seeing Wyatt willing to show his weak side to her. At that moment a motherly love overcame her heart wanting to pull her liege into a bear hug and assure him that everything was going to be okay, she would not let anyone harm him, and she would protect him with her life. However, she could not think of words to assure him in the present situation as this was a matter of love. No one had command over how Susan felt and what she chose except Susan. Just when the Field Marshal was feeling helpless, Cortney who had been silent so far hearing her friend's fears spoke up, "Wyatt, I have no idea what it means to love or lose in love but I am willing to go to any lengths to help my friend win in his love. If nothing works I will kidnap Susan and force her to love you using my origin card!"
"Right, I know a few blood rules that can help too, Bloodette followed suit despite having no clue what love was. Humans were already too complicated for her let alone their emotions.
"Thank you, guys. But that won't be necessary as I haven't lost until I give up on my love," Wyatt looked at Cortney and Bloodette gratefully.
Seeing Cortney willing to go to any lengths for her friend helped him realize he too should not be afraid and do everything in his power to win his love as everything was fair in love and war. What mattered was, how far he was willing to go for love?"
After a while, seeing Wyatt was lost in his thoughts for long, the Field Marshal reminded him, "Now that you know everything my niece had planned. What do we do next?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
