"I do trust you," The Field Marshal wasn't just saying this to get Wyatt to accept her but she meant it.

This day has been one hell of a roller coaster ride for her mentally and emotionally. One could not go as far as to say that she was able to look and think past her old wiring and programming because of it but immersed in Wyatt's eyes, she saw his sincerity. In the presence of his pure yet formidable sincerity, the Field Marshal was stripped of her teachings and experience, she was bare and naked allowing her to feel the truth with her skin without any prejudice and shaded glasses. She could feel Wyatt's sincerity was true and pure without any tricker to it. She recalled Wyatt's promises to her one by one, her mind and heart did not ask if he was capable of fulfilling them but they knew that he was willing to do it for her. At that moment the Field Marshal had really come to trust Wyatt. All her doubts and hesitation had vanished. So when she answered that she trusted him, it wasn't just her but her entire being yelling its answer. Even if that moment lasted for a few seconds, the Field Marshal had come to learn something surprising about herself that she truly trusted Wyatt. Despite her reservations about him, she did trust him and everything he said. This was why despite her niece's caution and against her best judgment she fell for Wyatt's tricks time and again. Learning her true feelings and thoughts, the Field Marshal did not fight against them like she previously did. Instead, she respected and accepted them without trying to bargain or reason with herself. In acceptance, the Field Marshal found that she was complicating something simple, and repeated herself, "I trust you, Wyatt." Wyatt noticing the change in the Field Marshal nodded and said, "I trust you too. Welcome aboard partner." Then together with the Field Marshal, Wyatt rose to his feet with a warm smile. "Partner?" the Field Marshal uttered, only to hear Wyatt say, "Yes, we are partners. I get to call all the shots unilaterally, and you get to see them through no questions asked." "Where did you get your dictionary? Because mine calls that slavery," the Field Marshal said rolling her eyes at Wyatt's shamelessness. "Welcome back intern," Aurelia said slapping the back of the mid-teen Field Marshal causing her to frown as she controlled her boiling rage. Then, forcing a smile, that was the scariest smile Aurelia had seen in her lifetime, she added, "Intern? Did you not just hear your boss call me partner? How dare you to address a partner so casually? Are you tired of living grunt! Believe it or not, I will dock your entire year's pay."

Listening to the Field Marshal, Aurelia was taken aback, she turned to look at Wyatt for clarification only to see him nod his head agreeing with Field Marshal. Seeing her boss's response, three words crossed her mind, 'I am fucked.' Though feeling betrayed Aurelia did not give up, laying on the floor she grabbed Wyatt's legs and said, "Boss, you cannot throw me under the bus now that you got what you want." "Let go of my legs. And who is throwing you under the bus? Aren't I giving you what you wanted? How am I to be blamed for the consequences of your brazen actions?" Wyatt said washing his hands of the feud between Field Marshal and Aurelia. Yes, Aurelia did what she did to help him but he could not just ask the Field Marshal swallow her anger to forgive and forget. However, he did plan to compensate Aurelia in other ways. "Boss, how can you be so heartless?" Aurelia looked at Wyatt from down below making abandoned puppy eyes. "Wyatt, your subordinates seem to lack some manners, do you want my help to teach her some basic manners and help her grow some spine while I am at it," the Field Marshal said grinning eerily at Aurelia. Letting go of Wyatt's legs Aurelia spun on the floor like a bottle and came to a swift halt catching the Field Marshal's legs and begged, "Your Highness, please forgive this lowly slave for forgetting her place. Please do not waste your breath, energy, or precious time on some as worthless like me. I have long heard that your generosity knows no bounds, please spare some of it on this nobody." "What has your mother been teaching you for you to grow as such?" the Field Marshal was stumped by Aurelia's shamelessness. Just when she would think that Aurelia could not stoop any lower she manages to prove her wrong every time. While Aurelia and Field Marshal went to and fro, Wyatt was busy gauging the Field Marshal physical body impressed by it. It wasn't surprising for the demigods and devils to rejuvenate and regain their youth when they ascended to the devil or demigod rank and to age slower than their race limit. The reason Wyatt was impressed by her physical body having the appearance of a mid-teen girl was that the Field Marshal was a few centuries old for her to retain such youth after ascension to the demigod realm showed she had a lot of room to grow. One could even say that, in terms of divinity, she was just a growing child with boundless potential. Not all those who ascend to the demigod realm were blessed with such a bountiful rejuvenation and slow aging. Some don't even get the blessing of rejuvenation when they ascend to the demigod realm. This could only mean that their divinity did not have much room to grow. Now such demigods were doomed to make very little to no progress in their cultivation in their entire lifetime.

Wyatt had long suspected that if not for the Card World's limitation and limited knowledge limiting her the Field Marshal would have already rivaled the Ruler Class beings. Now seeing her true appearance and based on what he had learned about ascension to the devil/demigod realm he had confirmed that his suspicions were right.  ..
