Except for Lorenzo and Luna, those from the Main Heatsend Family actually lusted after what rightfully belonged to Wyatt. They did heckle him over the shares and stuff but that was business. Unlike Lorenzo and Luna who planned to lock him in some dark basement and use him as their slave on their very first meeting. Come to think of it Lorenzo and Luna were like two peas in a pod.
However, the younger generation was worse than the older one. Though Lorenzo was not honorable he showed loyalty toward the Heatsend family whereas Luna showed neither one of those quality in her. Wyatt wondered how someone as honorable as Field Marshal Heatsend was with Lorenzo. Was she just honoring her marriage with him or did the opposite attract each other?
"Your Highness, please trust me," Wyatt could only ask Field Marshal to trust him.
"I trust you, that is why I am still willing to help you. Wyatt, don't waste time. What do I need to use tracking curse on?" Field Marshal Heatsend did not want to associate with Wyatt any further. As she had determined that Wyatt's eyes were capable of something she dared not think of for fear that she might subconsciously react and kill Wyatt.
What bothered her, even more, was whether she should update info on Wyatt's origin card in his dossier to warn others of what his eyes could be capable of or she should stay silent about it to protect Wyatt's current lifestyle. A few seconds passed and she decisively reached a decision, using her diamond grimoire she began to update the Southern Royal family's dossier on Wyatt. But think about it for a second she added high security clearance to access this information. Meaning only the those at absolute peak of the hierarchy in the royal palace would be able to access this information.
Meanwhile, Wyatt cussed himself for being hasty. He should not have tried to reach out to Field Marshal Heatsend on his own instead tried to reach her out through Ann or Colleen.
Wyatt wasn't at fault here, how was he supposed to know that Field Marshal Heatsend also had an amazing pair of eyes on par or strong enough to see through his soul pupils? Especially when many demigods on whom Wyatt used his soul pupils on did not find any oddness with his eyes. Some powerful ones like Demigod Norley and Agent Forger noted that Wyatt's eyes were more capable than they thought but none ever came close to what Field Marshal had uncovered.
Thankfully it was Field Marshal whose honor was everything to her who was suspicious of his origin card, so Wyatt could brush it off as a valuable lesson to not use his soul pupils recklessly on people stronger than him but if it was someone else then Wyatt might not be alive until now to think that he had learned a valuable lesson today.
"Your Highness, from Handsome Fox's actions so far it can be deduced that he is very cautious by nature. Therefore, he might have taken precautions against tracking curses. I was wondering if your curse art is high or if we should arrange for an SSS-rank tracking curse," Wyatt expressed his concerns over Handsome Fox having strong cards to block curse tracking. If Field Marshal Heatsend was not well-versed in curse art He would buy an SSS-rank tracking curse from Devil merchant code.
"No need, one of my ancestors had a knack for curse arts. The Ring on your finger is one of his creations, he was worried his significant other would be targeted by his rival so he created it for her and used it to confess his undying love for her and ask her to spend their life together. So from then on it has become a tradition in the Main Heatsend family for the hier of the throne to use the ring to propose to their partner.
Along with the ring, the ancestor created many other strong curse cards that can be used for different purposes. We are in luck, as it happens one of those curse cards can be used for tracking. So hand over the medium for the curse and sit back and watch the wonders of our ancestors at work," Field Marshal Heatsend narrated the story behind the dummy ring. However, it was not certain if she was conveying the significance of Anna giving Wyatt the ring.
Regardless of what meaning Field Marshal Heatsend had behind narrating this story to Wyatt, he was going to ignore it unless Anna herself were to tell the same to him. Because it did not matter what other people thought or said, what really mattered was what Anna thought. She said that she was giving the ring to him for his protection so Wyatt was going to trust her and not let other people's words interpret Anna's good intentions as something else.
Wyatt then took out Corey's blood curse substitute card containing the roots of Handsome Fox's ability. If they were not enough to track Handsome Fox then he would use Susan's blood curse substitute containing the active seed and roots of Handsome Fox's ability.
But before handing the card to Field Marshal, Wyatt demanded, "Your Highness, I would prefer if we were in a party during the tracking."
Field Marshal Heatsend did not reply, she thought over Wyatt's demand. Thinking that it was just tracking Handsome Fox and nothing dangerous she decided to agree to Wyatt's request. Then soon Wyatt's grimoire received a party invite from Field Marshal Heatsend's grimoire.
Accepting Field Marshal's party invite, Wyatt extended Corey's blood curse substitute in the air since he had no idea where Field Marshal Heatsend was hiding now, saying, "Your Highness, this card contains the roots of Handsome Fox's ability please use the tracking curse on it."
"Alright," With Field Marshal's voice, the card vanished from Wyatt's hand.
Seeing this, Wyatt felt Field Marshal was being a little unreasonable. He was trusting his life to them, but she could not trust him to not use his soul pupils on her. Well, should he be satisfied with the fact that she did not ask him what he saw the first time he used his eye ability on her? He wondered if she thought she was far from him and hidden in clouds so he did not violate her privacy.
Regardless, he was grateful that the Field Marshal was not holding him accountable for that incident. Not to mention the can of worms, him using his eye ability on the woman from the royal family. The more Wyatt thought about it, he felt that Field Marshal's actions were moderate. The worst part was that Wyatt, himself, felt like he had nothing to complain about. This was the negative ethics of Earth right here which taught boys from a young age that they don't hit girls and weren't allowed to ask what if girls hit them first?
"Wyatt, I am having a hard time tracking the roots in the card," Field Marshal Heatsend was in a dilemma she was having difficulty differentiating the roots from the soul pathways.
Though Field Marshal was not a master in card creation or array mastery she was well-versed in both of them and had a decent grasp over soul pathway deduction. Thanks to her Divine sense being able to use Divine insight and her unique eyes she was better than most diamond-grade card creationists and array masters out there.
However, she was still having difficulty trying to differentiate the roots from the soul pathways. This caused her to wonder how good was Wyatt at soul pathway deduction to differentiate the roots from the soul pathway especially considering he was using the spiritual sense of a card master unlike her who was equipped with divine insight and her unique eyes.
Wyatt was surprised to hear Field Marshal Heatsend say that she could not differentiate Soul pathways from the roots. This immediately caused him to compare his Soul pupils with her unique eye ability, but he did not celebrate believing that Field Marshal's unique eyes had different abilities compared to his Soul Pupils which were good at uncovering the soul pathways but otherwise, they were pretty much useless.
Just like how Agent Forger's right eye allowed her to navigate the spiritual panel and communicate with the World's will without any fear. So comparing his unique eyes with Field Marshal's unique eyes would not be fair. Especially considering that the soul pathways of her eyes morphed into stars. Wyatt hadn't seen anything like that so far.
"Please share the grimoire attack page with me, I will help you pinpoint the roots so you can accurately use your curse card on it," Wyatt and Field Marshal both were happy that they formed a party beforehand.
"Yes," Field Marshal partially shared the grimoire attack page with Wyatt so he could help her use the curse card accurately on the roots of Handsome Fox's ability.
