'I am listening,' the Field Marshal responded, acknowledging the bait that Wyatt threw her way.

'I guess you are not as interested as I thought you were, Your Highness,' Wyatt said pretending to pull the bait away, not getting the right response from the Field Marshal.

'Alright, what do I need to do in return?' the Field Marshal hoped she could get Wyatt to give more but seeing him take away what he was ready to give, she caved and?hurriedly bit the bait.

How could she not? Wyatt was dangling everything she could hope from him in front of her. If she could get Wyatt to willingly embrace his title 'Hope of the South,' as her niece urged her to persuade him to do so, and also get Wyatt to become a part of their royal family, just as many in their family had hoped, she would become the hero of the family, especially in Anna's eyes. So she could not help but perk her ears when Wyatt proposed these terms.

'Now, you are speaking my language. In return, I want your full support, switch your alliance to me,' Wyatt revealed his terms. He had long decided to teach Anna's mother a lesson by stealing her most trusted aid, Field Marshal Heatsend.

'No, that was not what I meant. Stop twisting my words— You devil,' the Field Marshal gave up, understanding there was no winning with Wyatt. He was one of the most difficult person she had met. He was stubborn, uncompromising, and unyielding.

'Your Highness, let me make it easier for you. How about we make another wager? If you win you will get what you want without having to do anything in return,' Wyatt proposed. He remained patient, he didn't try to tug too strong worrying that the string would snap and all he worked for so far would be for nothing.

'Another wager? Why would I willingly put myself through that mental torture again, when I am already experiencing it? No, thank you,' the Field Marshal had already been at the end of her wits about how Wyatt planned to free the Clown Mask when he was busy here. She knew, Wyatt would not give up and had some plan, but she had little idea what it was, which made it harder for her to stay calm. If not for her new mission to get Wyatt to embrace his title as 'Hope of the South' distracting her, she would be wrecking her brains right now trying to figure out Wyatt's game plan.

When the Field Marshal could not handle the hell of having entered a wager with Wyatt, why would she go out of her way to get herself another one of those, she wasn't a masochist. So, she rejected Wyatt without hesitation. The stakes proposed by Wyatt were indeed very attractive, but she did not think her mind could handle another one of Wyatt's mind games. She wasn't up to the challenge.

'Fine. I will make it a lot easier for you, how about we bet on an already existing wager?' Wyatt proposed to improve on their already existing wager, seeing that the Field Marshal would not even consider the idea of entering another wager with him.

The Field Marshal contemplated for a second and then responded, 'How do we do that?' Though she was unsure what Wyatt was up to she decided to hear him out.
