As one of the strongest in the Card World, the Field Marshal was enlightened and profound, detached from human emotions, or so she would like to think. Talking to Wyatt, she would always find herself getting in touch with her mortal side that would like to cover its helplessness with rage and such emotions. She wanted Wyatt to be comfortable around her but not overly comfortable. Not to mention, where does he get off belittling her husband to her?

'Your Highness, I don't understand. Why are you getting so defensive? I was just implying that you were the best thing that ever happened to Lorenzo,' Wyatt explained, feeling the Field Marshal's anger.Fôll0w current novÊls on n/o/(v)/3l/b((in).(co/m)

'We both know what you were implying brat, don't try to whitewash it now,' The Field Marshal was astounded seeing Wyatt imply that she was undermining Lorenzo, not him.

'I don't know what you are talking about but I feel—'

'Let us reduce the wager time limit by half. If you agree we have a wager at our hands,' The Field Marshal put forward her proposal for the updated wager interrupting Wyatt, as she did not want to continue listening to him find creative ways to undermine her husband just to provoke her into a wager.

The only reason Wyatt went throught the trouble convincing Field Marshal for an improved wager was because he wanted her loyalty, stealing her from Anna's mother. But since the Field Marshal was not willing to bet her loyalty, he saw no point in going through the trouble to update the wager.

However, seeing the fish was hooked, Wyatt decided to tempt his fate and see if he released the fish, would it jump right into his fish bucket?

Meaning, now that the Field Marshal was hooked on the idea of updating the existing wager enticed by the stakes he proposed to her, would she be willing to bet her loyalty just to see it through? Wyatt had no idea what the Field Marshal would do. But, gambling has brought out the worst in the best of us, so Wyatt believed anything was possible.

Was Wyatt investing in a sinking ship? Maybe, but he has no choice as the only reason he proposed to modify the existing wager was to steal Field Marshal from Anna's mother. So, he had little choice but to invest in what he believed would make it possible, no matter how large the odds stacked against them were.

'Aren't you presuming too hastily? I might be just a soldier but I have the backing of the Heatsend Royal family and the Lorn Family, the combined wealth, treasures, and knowledge of these two families are at my disposal. Name what you want and I will get it for you,' the Field Marshal generously offered, showing how much she wanted Wyatt to continue with the updated wager conditions that she had proposed to him. After all, the stakes he offered were too good for her to pass on.

'I want you, Your Highness, and nothing else. Haven't I made myself clear?'
