"Thank you, you have done enough. Now, it is my turn. I prefer to do my dirty laundry myself, Wyatt replied, without blaming the Field Marshal for not telling about Anna's mother targeting Susan sooner.
After all, she wasn't sure that Anna's mother would be successfully able to sow doubt in Susan's mind indirectly through the media. Now that she saw Susan rejecting an official date with Wyatt, she knew her niece had succeeded. So, slowly she came clean with Wyatt by revealing everything she had done for her niece since the beginning and what she thought would be her niece's next move.
Wyatt appreciated that the Field Marshal was willing to rat on her niece for him. As it was not. required of her. Just because a Knight's master had changed, it did not mean the knight had to reveal their old master's secret to their new master. It would be against their code.
However, the Field Marshal knowing the gravity of this situation, out of concern for Wyatt, broke the code and snitched on her niece. Not to mention she felt guilty for her part in all of this. Especially, for the part she played in using Anna's origin card to erase her obsession with Wyatt. Still, it would not have been easy for the Field Marshal to break her principles for her young liege.
"I understand," Field Marshal nodded, knowing that Wyatt's style of doing things and her niece's style of doing things though somewhat similar were totally different.
Wyatt did all the work, shouldering all the responsibility and risk even if he had so many people willing to do it for him. Meanwhile, her niece made use of her people and any means at her disposal to do all her work for her so that she would not have to shoulder any responsibility and risk.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Soon, thinking of something Wyatt ordered her, "Let Hernicks out of your mystic dimension. I have some work with him.'n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Right away," the Field Marshal replied but as she was about to will Henricks out of her mystic dimension, Wyatt hurriedly reminded her, "Not inside the dungeon seal!"
Wyatt had no idea how Henricks's origin card worked but he had a vague idea of its ability interrealm teleportation. So, he did not dare to reveal the dungeon seal, which was basically the holy place of blood rule, to Henricks, the leader of thieves and beggars.
Considering the current financial situation of the Freedom Fighters, if Henricks learned that there was a blood rule stone mine inside the dungeon seal he would not hesitate to use his origin card, if possible, to teleport his band of thieves into the mine and empty the entire mine within a few minutes.
Wyatt had no idea if Henricks's origin card would allow him to teleport in and out of the dungeon scal but he could not take the risk of revealing the wealth hidden in the dungeon seal to him. "Sorry, I will be more careful next time, the Field Marshal apologized to Wyatt for her oversight as they walked out of the dungeon seal and Cortney and Bloodette followed suit.
Walking out of the dungeon seal and feeling the Field Marshal's pseudo-celestial rule domain still covering the city thanks to her incarnation maintaining it, Wyatt decided to tell her the truth about it. that he did not reveal in the presence of the Royal Instructor. However, before he could speak the Field Marshal willed Henricks out of her mystic dimension. See his window to come clean was closed
Wyatt could only postpone it to some other time.
Coming out of the mystic dimension, the first thing Henricks did was take in a deep breath and enjoy the fresh air while complaining aloud, "Thank god, I am finally out. I thought I was going to die unable to withstand your son's awful body stench. It felt like it grew stronger the longer I stayed closer to him. Did you not teach to take a proper bath twice a day?"
The Field Marshal frowned hearing Henricks question her parenting. If not for her being considerate of them serving at way beyond together, she would have given him a first-hand experience of her parenting. Prioritizing her liege's work with Henricks, she controlled her rage toward him and explained, "The stench you smelled from him is a curse his wife cast on him. Because of the curse whenever he is alone with someone in close proximity, he starts to smell. The stench on him grows stronger the longer he is alone with someone. If they are too close for a long period the curse will spread to the other person!"
"You sure it is a curse because I did not sense any negative soul energy from him," Hernicks responded suspiciously because, in his efforts to double cross the Masters, he had trained his knowledge and sensitivity to curses to avoid being monitored or controlled by them. Though he did not dare to claim he knew everything about curses and could detect any curse, he was skilled enough to save his skin.
Henricks wasn't alone, Wyatt too looked at the Field Marshal in doubt because his old version of soul pupils did not sense any curse on Ransom. So, he pondered if the Field Marshal was lying or Ransom's wife was too skilled in curse arts. Knowing that Field Marshal wasn't a liar Wyatt wondered if it was the latter.
"It is a curse cast with the target's consent. Such curses are near impossible to detect which is why they are called untraceable curses, the Field Marshal resolved Henricks's suspicion. Listening to her explanation Wyatt nodded in understanding. However, it gave birth to new doubts in Henricks who could not help but ask, "Why would Ransom agree to such a curse, and why did his wife cast such a curse on him?

"My son's marital problems are not your business. If you are done with your questions, we have so business with you?"
Unable to tell her ex-colleague that Ransom's wife suspected him of cheating on her so she cast the curse on him and he accepted it to prove his innocence, the Field Marshal thundered at Henricks asking him to keep his nose out of her son's marriage and quickly changed the topic.
"As long as the payment is good I am in," Henricks excitedly answered but then feeling that his words implied more than what he intended to imply he was embarrassed.
"Payment? Did you forget you are still my hostage, do you want me to remind you?"
