Redfall, who was supposed to be contracting the diamond grimoire, approached Wyatt. Seeing his master deeply contemplating something while staring at the daughter gem in his hand, Redfall decided to wait and not disturb him.
Having learned about the principles of his daughter gems and bloodline, Wyatt turned to Redfall and asked, "What is it?"
"Master, I think I would be able to better serve you if I were to contract my old grimoire. If I contract a new one, I would lose my old origin cards," Redfall explained. Though origin cards are unique, they are still cards, and once equipped, they become unequippable. So, it did not come as a shock to Wyatt to learn that one would lose their origin cards along with their grimoire. Wyatt felt that Redfall's words made sense; without his wicked origin cards, Redfall was just another demigod, albeit a more handsome one. Therefore, Wyatt asked, "Do you know where your old grimoire is?"
"If it isn't currently being used by someone else, I should be able to summon it once I enter the Card World. But if it is being used, I should be able to sense its location while in the Card World," Redfall revealed, causing Wyatt a headache. Taking Redfall into the Card World would mean deceiving the Field Marshal.
Wyatt weighed the pros and cons of helping Redfall retrieve his grimoire. Considering the impending Demon invasion, the Seven Princes of Hell, Gideon Grim a.k.a. Handsome Fox, the Three Mischiefs, the Masters, and Librarian Jr's conspiracy, Wyatt felt that having someone like Redfall in his ranks could be beneficial, especially with his plans to expand in the Dark Realm. After all, Redfall's origin cards operated on the principle of 'Universal Love, which meant he could establish his cult any where in the myriad realms let alone in the Dark Realm.
The more Wyatt thought about it, the more the pros outweighed the cons of helping Redfall regain his grimoire. As his daughter gem, Redfall wouldn't be able to repeat his past atrocities unless Wyatt willed it. Therefore, it was more logical to keep Redfall around and help him reclaim his old origin cards.
Recognizing that he would need all the help he could get when venturing into the myriad realms, Wyatt no longer hesitated. He decisively chose to keep Redfall around and assist him in retrieving his old grimoire.
"Fine. For now, reforge your runes and reestablish your divinity. Once you've fully recovered, I'll help you retrieve your old grimoire," Wyatt informed Redfall, ordering him to focus on his recovery first.
Now that Wyatt had made his decision, he did not let any guilt get to him. He promised himself that he would use Redfall's abilities to help defend the Card World from the upcoming demon invasion. Just then his demon codex sounded with a notification,
