Before Agatha could answer Aba, Wyatt spoke up asking, "Have taken an oath to prove that you are the dumbest in the world?"
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Aba did not understand why Wyatt would think that she would take such a bizarre oath.
Agatha wanted to explain to Aba that what she was probably not true, but hearing the exchange between her princess and Wyatt, she came to her princess's defense answering before Wyatt continued to mock Aba, "I don't know princess, but that is what I have heard."
Knowing what Agatha was doing, Wyatt shook his head and looked at Asong to learn what actually happened but Laura was not the one to give up. She glared at Agatha and said, "The Central Government and Morningstar University had each sent one but two elite demigod teams. They both lost a total of 10 elite demigods to a single devil which was later defeated by Wyatt. Meanwhile, the demigods from the Southern royal family defeated 5 devils and 6 demon armies without losing a single comrade. You guys were there, I don't have to remind you what happened in the Southern Capital."
Agatha avoided Laura's eyes and laughed it off saying, "That is what the Southern Royal family said. As someone from the central region, why should I believe what they said? I believe what the Central Government said."
Laura was with words listening to Agatha's argument. Seeing this, Wyatt let out a sigh thinking, 'I cannot believe I am about to do this.' Then he used Agatha's words against her, "Well, now who is the blind and fanatic subject? I was there, at the heart of the South Captial incident, trust me, Laura's version of the incident couldn't be more accurate."
Seeing Wyatt come to her support and defend the Southern Royal family, Laura looked at Wyatt gratefully.
"You are from the south, why should we believe anything you say?" Aba jumped up.
"Were you not listening, he just said he was there, fighting the devils with the other demigods," Laura exclaimed in disbelief. She could not help but wonder if she was having so much trouble proving the truth to her friend then what would the other four regions believe. They will believe the false version of the incident that the Central Government was spreading without any shred of doubt. This was when Laura understood she was fighting a losing battle.
"I—" Just as Aba was about to open her mouth, Wyatt interrupted her threatening, "Believe it or not, I use my authority to turn your identity in the VR universe into a sewer rat and throw you between a bunch of hungry street cats."
"I will just quit," Aba instantly gave a smart-ass reply. To which Wyatt sneered saying, "Yeah, sure let us see how long you can keep yourself from coming back crawling."
Aba being addicted to the VR universe was no news to anyone present here. So when she said that she just quit using VR Universe no one took her seriously. Especially, Wyatt who knew how bad the impact of video games was on teenagers, specifically one as realistic and interactive as the VR universe.
"I won't," Aba replied with an unusual resolve. Wyatt ignored her and looking at Agatha he said, "I am disappointed in you."
"Hey, what do you want me to do? Sit back and watch every time you mock her," Agatha felt wronged. After all, all she did was come to her baby chick's defense.
"If you don't like her being mocked you should have taught her better. Besides, it is not mocking if she doesn't get it," Wyatt preached, eyeing Aba who had no clue what Agatha and Wyatt were talking about.
Then turning to look at Asong who was enjoying the drama, Wyatt said, "You have a lot of work cut out for you."
"Now, why would you say that?"
"Aren't you planning to take her under your wing?"
"What gave you that impression?"
"Just because she is too dumb to figure out what you are doing doesn't mean the rest of us are. Even the native guide knows what you are up to," Wyatt did not understand why Asong would deny her intentions with Aba when it could not be more clearer.
Miss Miko who was enjoying her grilled meat, looked at Wyatt wondering why was the monster dragging her into their messy fight. She ignored Wyatt's comment, not wanting to be dragged into others' fight, and resumed enjoying her grilled meat.
"What do you mean by she taking me under her wing? We both are in the same realm," Aba frowned listening to Wyatt and Asong's conversation. Though Asong was Anna's classmate because of her illness she was a late bloomer card apprentice and her strength was still at lower realms. If not for Wyatt creating Asong's origin card to help with her illness she would not have been able to catch up with Aba's realm so fast.
"Oh, that is why," seeing Aba's reaction to his claims, Wyatt finally understood why Asong was denying that she planning to take Aba under her wings. Then he looked at Asong apologetically.
"I will forgive you this once, assuming you did not do this on purpose," Asong forgave Wyatt and then coaxed Aba saying, "Aba, honey, I have a video of your father fighting two card emperors back when he was still a card emperor."
"Really, share it with my grimoire I want to watch it right now," Aba exclaimed, forgetting everything else. She was too easy to distract and appease. This part of Aba reminded Wyatt of Dredre.
"Come, sit next to me. Let us watch it together," Asong invited Aba to watch the video together.
"Even better," Aba cheered.
"Ahem, didn't to have something to tell me about the world decree incident," Wyatt cleared his throat awkwardly and reminded Asong.
"It can wait," Asong replied nonchalantly.
"I swear I did not do it on purpose."
"Sure, I have also forgiven you."
