Chapter 1960 Dropping The Honorifics

Location- Card World, Southern Region, Blossom District, Sky Blossom City

As honorable as the Field Marshal was she was equally despicable, otherwise it would be impossible for her to survive the battlefield from a young age. When faced with death, one has nothing: no honor, no shame, no pride—similar to when one was born with no honor, no shame, no pride. The Field Marshal\'s father who had taught her about honor was the one who had repeatedly told her this. Along with how foolish righteousness was contagious, it should be nipped in the bud.

Now that the Field Marshal had shown Wyatt both her honorable and despicable sides, she felt a lot more comfortable around him, going as far as to ask him to ditch the honorifics when addressing her.

\'Sure, if you say so,\' Wyatt agreed without a second thought as he did not care for it since the beginning.

\'Sigh~ You could at least try to be a little reluctant,\' the Field Marshal said feeling Wyatt was too shameless.

\'Says the person who did not think twice before reducing me into a meat patty,\' Wyatt remarked. He was not surprised that the World\'s Will did not hold Field Marshal responsible for breaching the contract between him and Anna.

There were many holes in the contract that Wyatt had drawn up for Anna to sign. Back then he was fresh to the card world and still did not fully understand the horrors of the card world. Especially the capabilities of the demigods.

However, even with little knowledge he had, he managed to draw up a contract that would ensure his safety and freedom at the end of the day.

How was the Field Marshal able to avoid breaching the contract despite destroying his physical body? It was simple, actually. The reason behind it was the same as how a surgeon will not be tried for attempted murder for cutting a patient\'s chest to operate during the line of their duties. That was to say, what if the Field Marshal had to destroy Wyatt\'s body to save him? As long as Wyatt was alive at the end she would not be blamed.

How did the Field Marshal manage to fool the Card world\'s will into believing that her destroying Wyatt\'s body was to save him? Simply by erasing all the malice in her intent and replacing it with benevolence using her advanced control over her powerful intent sense. Not many in the card world could pull off something like this. It was Wyatt\'s luck that he ended up with a family that had quite a few people who were capable of doing something like this.

Not to mention Wyatt was also partially to be blamed because he had partially turned his body into an immortal. No matter how advanced the Field Marshal\'s control over her powerful intent sense was, it would all not be possible if not for his immortal physique. Regardless of the Field Marshal\'s intent during her action if she were responsible for Wyatt\'s death then she and her family would have to face the Warth of the Card world\'s will so she would not have attempted something like this in the first place if not for his partial immortality.

\'Well, let us talk about the terms for our wager shall we,\' The Field Marshal quickly changed the topic, as she did not want to continue talking about the incident. She knows she could get competitive but showing it against a child no matter how abnormal he was, it was embarrassing for her.

\'Fine, let me make the new stakes clear. If you win, I will give up on the criminal rehabilitation program, embrace the title \'Hope of the South,\' and become a part of your family. But if I win, not only will you support my criminal rehabilitation program but switch your alliance to me and swear your loyalty to me on your honor,\' Wyatt let the Field Marshal change the topic because he was waiting for her to bring up the wager, to not seem eager. Then, he recounted the updated stakes for their wager to the Field Marshal, these stakes would only be valid if they managed to agree on an updated wager. If not they will go with old wager and stakes.

\'Woah, hold up their buddy. Nobody agreed to swear their loyalty to you. My loyalty will always be with the Southern Ruler and the Southern Region,\' the Field Marshal hurriedly corrected, swearing one\'s loyalty was not a small matter, especially for someone of the Field Marshal\'s status and personality. This was also why Wyatt didn\'t bother to ask her to sign a contract or take an oath.

\'Besides, the stakes are not equal,\' the Field Marshal added, feeling that Wyatt was getting the better end of the deal.

\'How are they not equal? If anybody should be complaining then it should be me. Because I agreed to marry into your family. Do you even know what that means? If not, you can ask Lorenzo— Wait, that would not help my case since he traded up by marrying into your family while I would be settling by marrying into your family,\' In the heat of the moment, Wyatt was caught up in his own words.

\'Boy, aren\'t you getting too comfortable with me? I asked you to drop the honorifics but don\'t remember asking you to treat me like one of your mates. And what the heck do you mean by Lorenzo traded up by marrying me? He and I are equal partners in this marriage,\' The Field Marshal was starting to regret permitting Wyatt to stop being polite with her.

\'Who are you kidding, Your Highness? Lorenzo is not here, you can drop the act,\' Wyatt said using honorifics to sound polite but that only highlighted his rudeness.

\'Listen to me, you brat. Lorenzo is a kind and brilliant man. At least, he knows to respect and listen to his elders,\' The Field Marshal raged unable to control her emotions.
