"Good, I can spare a few minutes for my unfilial subordinate but you should know you are in the company of the Southern Hope and your dearest daughter," the Field Marshal revealed hearing Aurelia's mother take a step back. "I see, what about Her Highness Southern Princess?" Aurelia's mother was not surprised by the Field Marshal's revelation, she was used to working with her and knew how she functioned. She had called her knowing that Southern Princess would be listening in on their conversation. This was why she would not bother to call the Field Marshal until it was necessary despite the comradery between them. "She is not here," the Field Marshal answered indifferently. Listening to Aurelia's mother, Wyatt understood that the Field Marshal was treating him like how she treated Anna's mother. That was fast. If the Field Marshal was still loyal to Anna's mother, then she would have connected the call to Anna's mother's grimoire so she would listen in instead of turning on the loudspeaker so he could listen in. Learning this, Wyatt's back grew wet with sweat in a scare. He thanked his fortune that he only ever had a serious talk with the Field Marshal telepathically and Anna's mother was too busy in that central capital answering the world about Gideon Grim, Silver milk powder, the VR universe, and the Soul energy digestion card. The legislators of the central government were working day and night to come up with new laws that would limit Wyatt and the Southern Royal family's authority over his inventions and discoveries after their master's World Decree debacle. Even though their Master had given Wyatt full authority over his inventions and discoveries, as long as they were to think of ways for Wyatt to willingly let go of his authority over them all was fair, the World's will would not interfere. Anna's mother was defending Wyatt's rights to defend her own and also because she believed him to be hers. This was one of the many things the Southern Royal family was doing for Wyatt without him knowing or asking, even if they had their agenda to do so. Listening to the Field Marshal claim that the Southern Princess was not listening in on their conversation, Aurelia's mother paused as if taking her time to contemplate something. She knew the Field Marshal would not lie otherwise she would not have bothered to inform her that the call was on speaker. "Don't tell me you switched your alliance to the Southern Hope," Aurelia's mother exclaimed after piecing what the Field Marshal's action meant. "That doesn't concern you, but if this call is not about business but personal, I can get some privacy," Field Marshal was not surprised Aurelia's mother instantly figured out what was going on, she was not her favorite subordinate for no reason. "No need, I wanted to confirm about the Southern Hope's character since my daughter was set on giving her loyalty to him but since you have given your loyalty to him I can rest assured about him," Aurelia's mother said without making any comment about Field Marshal switching her loyalty to a teenager despite having slave for Southern royal family her entire life. "Aurelia, honey, whatever happens, remember you are a river but unlike the river, you also have a home to return to," giving Aurelia a few words of confidence, Aurelia's mother hung up the call bidding goodbye to Field Marshal. "Your mother is one selfish and heartless woman," The Field Marshal said seeing Aurelia's mother hang up the call getting what she wanted. "Your Highness, please forgive my me and mother our insolence," Aurelia apologized continuing to prostrate in front of the Field Marshal. "Girl, get up. I am starting to feel embarrassed because of you," the Field Marshal was not lying as Aurelia's action made her feel she was bullying Aurelia with her identity and power.

"Field Marshal Heatsend, my mother was right you are the most generous. I am honored to work with you," Aurelia replied getting up on her knees. "Work with me?" the Field Marshal asked in confusion. "Yes, we both are boss's subordinates. If you don't mind me asking can you tell me when you joined?" Aurelia asked, trying to figure out the seniority in the workplace. "Bart, don't get any funny ideas," the Field Marshal warned Aurelia instantly understanding what Aurelia was getting. Though she was a princess, she started as a mere no-name foot soldier at the Way Beyond so she was fully aware of how workplace seniority worked. "She joined us this morning," Wyatt replied to Aurelia in amusement wondering how she would use this information. "Really," Aurelia asked Wyatt excitedly, and getting up on her feet she then turned to lock eyes with the Field Marshal who was staring at her with a threatening gaze and informed her without any fear or hesitation, "Marshal Heatsend, don't worry since you know my mother I won't treat you badly." "Girl, do you want the beating of a lifetime?" Field Marshal asked Aurelia with a menacing gaze however to her surprise, Aurelia ignored her and turning to Wyatt, she complained, "Boss, the new recruit acting out."

"That is it, I will let you experience what a beating of a lifetime is so that you won't dare to wag your tail at me again," the Field Marshal said taking a step forward, Aurelia was quicker she hid behind Wyatt and yelled, "Know your place newbie, I am your senior. How dare you threaten me!" "Hahaha," Wyatt burst out in laughter looking at the steaming Field Marshal adding, "Now this is funny." "Boss, the new recruit is resorting to violence. This is no laughing matter she doesn't know her place," Aurelia hurriedly informed hugging Wyatt's neck while an invisible force was pulling her to the Field Marshal's side.

"Boss, do something, save me," Aurelia cried for help. "Field Marshal, that is enough," Wyatt came to her rescue understanding that Aurelia's mother had trained Aurelia perfectly. None of his subordinates had the guts to point the obvious, if Field Marshal was his most loyal subordinate then why did she not act like one.
