Ann, I don’t know what you are talking about. Are the so-called ‘Matron and her paw clan’ you speak of behind Cole’s actions? Who are they supposed to be? Some kind of Resistance? Revolutionaries? Freedom fighters? Or a secret organization of cat ladies?]
Reading the reply she received, Ann was stumped. But soon she replied asking,
[What is a cat lady? Is that some kind of monster.]
She did not have to wait too long for a reply,
[Sender: Dalton Wyatt
No, Cat Lady is not a monster. In a distant world, the Cat lady is a very lonely woman of any age who tries to fill the missing companionship in her life with cats.]
Reading the reply that she received, Ann did not know what to make of it, she was more confused than before. She wanted to interrogate the teenager instead they were goofing around. Which Ann couldn’t get enough of. So she replied,
[That sounds sad. So what else do they have in this distant world you speak of?]
Every second Ann waited for the boy’s reply felt like an eternity for her, it was somehow worse than being trapped in Anna’s grimoire for days. Bet when the message notification rang she felt like the spring has arrived and a thousand fireworks were lit in her heart,
[Sender: Dalton Wyatt
A lot of things but I don’t know where to start. Anything you are particularly interested to know about?]
Ann did not know how to answer this question. Wasn’t this the boy’s imaginary world? How will she know what it has and does not have? When Ann was wracking her brain trying to think of an appropriate answer to reply with, one of the soldiers reported, “Commander, they have located Sir Cole. He is back in the Sky Blossom city.”
“Good job,” Ann said and dismissed the soldier and thought of an appropriate reply,
[Found Cole, got to go. Bye]
After sending the reply Ann waited for the boy’s reply only after receiving it did she take action against Cole.
[Calling Grandpa Lorenzo…]
“I know, that brat is back in the city. I have already modified the city array. I will deploy it at your signal,” Lorenzo answered from the other end of the call. He seemed to have been updated about the situation. And he also had made appropriate preparation to capture Cole in the limited time.
“How sure are you that this will work? Because if we cannot extract the required evidence of his betrayal, then we will have a hard time explaining to the Wilson family why one of their family members was intercepted by us and became a brain-dead person afterward,” Capturing Cole directly would spook the matron who was controlling him and as result, she will not hesitate to dispose of him. This way they will not be able to achieve anything but the relationship between the royal family and the vassal family. Therefore, Lorenzo and Luna together had come up with a plan to capture the victims of Matron’s origin card without alerting her and Cole was their first test subject. So the chances of success of this mission were very low. Hence Ann cannot help but stress to Lorenzo the consequence of failure.
“I can’t guarantee anything here. I have no idea what Matron’s origin card is capable of. So there are many variables in this plan. But Luna and I have made sure to prepare for everything we know about Matron’s origin card. We can only hope that this works,” As a researcher who strongly believed that failure was part of every success, Lorenzo did not guarantee anything to Ann. After all, there wasn’t much information on the Matron’s origin card. So there were too many variables in this plan that was unaccounted for. So Lorenzo saw this plan as the early attempt to successfully create a method to overcome Matron’s origin card. And he couldn’t give two shit about the Wilson family. According to him, they were the ones who should be answering the Royal family for harboring a traitor. This was how things worked in the old days. As long as the royal family was the strongest, the vassal families could only swallow their dissatisfaction to mooch off them.
“So, you are sure that this plan is going to fail. But want to attempt it anyway to find how Matron’s origin card will counter your measures against it. Allowing you to collect enough data to prepare for it the next time. This point alone is worth straining the relationship between the Royal family and the vassal families under it. This is good enough. So, grandpa, you can proceed as planned,” Ann easily skimmed through what Lorenzo said and what he was implying and concluded that any gains from this mission may look small but looking at the bigger picture and long-term gains it was worth it.
“Ann, it is so easy to talk to you. If it was Anna, I would have to spend another 20 minutes trying to dumb it down for her to understand. I will contact you when it is done,” Lorenzo liked working with Ann for a change, they seemed to have a lot in common.
“No, need. I am coming to the location. I can’t stay on the back for this one,” Since this matter was related to the boy Ann wanted to personally handle it. This way they will have a lot more to talk about during their next chat.
“Ann, you too. Now I really want to know what potion that boy has fed you two sisters. Sigh,” There was no need for two card emperor to handle a mere card overlord. But Ann insisted to tag along. it wasn’t hard for Lorenzo to guess why Ann was doing this, it was that boy again. Only could make these two sisters act against reason.
