"Hello, uncle. You haven't slept yet?" Anna's mother answered Lorenzo's call.

"You haven't either. So what's keeping our princess awake late at night." Lorenzo knew with his brother-in-law and nephew at the front lines of way beyond. All the state's work had fallen on his elegant niece's lap. Thankfully she was a demigod. Otherwise, even a card Emperor cannot bear this amount of workload and months of sleepless nights.

"It's Sansa Baylor. I had my people monitor her movements. It seems she has sniffed that Wyatt is still alive." Replied Anna's mother. Ever since the Heatsend family knew Clown Masks' predictions were accurate, they added Sansa Baylor, the Matron, to the top of the State's enemy list, which was only accessible to the demigod realm personnel.

"What about it? As long as Anna personally protects him, nobody can harm a single hair of his body in the southern region." Lorenzo assured his niece confidently.

"Sansa Baylor has made an appointment with the Nether Witch. I think she is planning on cursing the boy. Curses are not Anna's strong suit." Anna's mother said in concern.

"Wait, don't you know that Anna has given him my sister-in-law's ring? She told the boy that you asked her to give it to him for his protection." Lorenzo asked in surprise as he thought Anna would have consulted with her mother and other family members before passing the family heirloom to others.

"What? She did what? Why would I say such a thing? That ring signifies a promise to a soulmate, to cherish and protect them unconditionally. Doesn't she know she cannot pass the ring willy-nilly to some fling of hers? I didn't dare give it to her asshole father even though his love blinded me for years. Yet this dumb daughter of mine handed it to a fling. I about to die of anger because of her." Anna's mother's voice grew cold and frustrated after hearing Anna's actions. Dummy ring signified a piece of romantic history for the Heatsend Royal family. A romantic story only passed among the offspring of the Royal family.

"Fling? I think Anna cares about this one. Otherwise, she wouldn't have borrowed my sister-in-law's ring for him.

For you to not know what your daughter is up to, the workload is getting to you." Lorenzo tried to defend Anna's action.

"Uncle, you know that girl better than anyone. Do you really believe she can be serious about a relationship?" Anna's mother did not believe that her daughter could hold on to a man. Her husband had messed her up in the mind.

"So far from what I have observed, Anna has changed a lot just to please the boy. I don't know what she likes about him, but she is willing to forgo the party life for him. It's been weeks since she last partied. That's a new record." Lorenzo had never seen a night in which Anna didn't like to party, but for the past few weeks, ever since she met the boy, she has let go of the party animal in her.

"Wow! Really? Then why did she react so wildly when I asked her to marry him." Anna's mother clearly remembers asking Anna to marry the boy to fix the silver milk powder debacle. After all, the terms of the soul contract were similar to a one-sided marriage.

"What? Did you really propose that to her? I guess, by then, she didn't realize her feelings. And also, Wyatt does not fully trust Anna and her feelings." Lorenzo answered according to his understanding.

"Isn't that boy picky? Shouldn't he be happy that my daughter chose him as her partner for life? Does he think he is better than my daughter just because he accidentally discovered silver milk powder?" Anna's mother disapproved of Anna's lifestyle, but still, she was her mother and was not happy about the thought that her daughter was being stringed along by a boy.

"..." Lorenzo didn't know how to answer his niece because right now, she wasn't speaking as the demigod in-charge of the south but as a proud mother.

"I guess I will have to pay a visit to the boy. See what my daughter sees in him." Anna's mother felt that it was her duty to inspect her future son-in-law. If Anna wants him, then he is her son-in-law. The boy's opinion didn't matter.

"About that, he will be coming to the palace within a week. To create cards for Luna's personal army." Lorenzo reminded me.

"I did hear about that. Uncle, do you really believe that the MegaMorphers created by the boy will help the younger generation across the river? Even during my generation, we lost many talents to the river. I don't want that to repeat again. Enemies of the South are growing bolder. We cannot handle such a loss at times like these." Anna's mother's voice grew serious as she spoke about the inheritance left by the Heatsend family ancestors.

"Only thing I can tell you is to wait till you see the MegaMorpher for yourself. It is nothing like you have ever seen before. Not to mention Luna is trying to have the MegaMorpher created using Memirconium." Lorenzo was without words to praise MegaMorphers majesty. So he asked his niece to see it personally to believe it.

"Uncle, are you okay? Were you not the one who said MegaMorphers were nothing but a giant golem? And also, didn't the boy say, Memirconium wasn't suitable to create the MegaMorpher." From the call, Anna's mother could hear that her uncle was no longer biased against the boy. Instead, he seemed to adore the boy as his junior.

"... About that, I believe that the boy will find an alternative as long as we get him the recipe for the Mimerconium," Lorenzo replied.

"Uncle, weren't you the one who said that the boy was too young to create an alternative for Memirconium?"

"Yes, yes he is." Lorenzo paused and answered, "But don't underestimate the youth."
