Chapter 1567 Lost Priorities
Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital
Wyatt used his enhanced soul pupils to scan the surroundings again, Except for the two space vestiges and the dark realm portal in the sky he did not find anything that could be considered a bigger threat than a world-ending plague.
Unless only one of the two space vestiges belongs to the southern royal family and the other one belongs to someone else. Thinking of this Wyatt wondered, \'Who the fuck would be daring enough to open a space vestige in the space of the southern capital city?\'
With the Central Government and the Morningstar University forces killed by the Belphegor, there was only one other strong conspirator that had yet to show themself, the Freedom Fighters. Or was there some other entity across the dark realm portal waiting to invade the card world?
Thinking of this Wyatt looked up in the sky into the portal but even his enhanced Soul Pupils could not find any anomalies across the portal. Except for occasional demonic creatures crossing over to this world, only to be killed by the turrets. He could not find the threat Colleen spoke of, so he decided to ask her,
[Your Majesty, the bigger fish you speak of is it the Leader of the Freedom Fighters, by any chance?]
As Wyatt sent this text he saw, that Worldhog was in no hurry to attack him, rather he felt the energy signature from it decrease slowly. Previously, its presence was fierce and strong enough to kill mortals and make low-level card apprentices lose consciousness. Now it was still as fierce but you could feel it eroding, like one can see the rust forming on an iron. Was it because of the plague he was incubating in his body?
[Yes, how did you know? Did those beautiful eyes of yours find him? It doesn\'t matter, with his origin card, it will be hard to capture him unless he shows himself. Stay put, do not let him know that we are on to him.]
"You got to be shitting me!" Wyatt yelled running his glace over the two space vestiges. As he did not know which one belonged to the Southern Royal family and which one belonged to the Freedom Fighters. From Colleen\'s words, it appeared she was not aware of the second space vestige in the space of the city.
"What\'s the matter you seem frustrated?" Belphegor asked Wyatt, finding Wyatt\'s actions hilarious. From Wyatt taking the initiative to attack him to looking at their surroundings and yelling like a madman. All of it, Belphegor found it entertaining, as he knew that Wyatt knew what he was up to. But his cockroach-like abilities were far from enough to do anything about it.
But to the devil\'s astonishment, Wyatt did not even spare Belphegor a glance as he was busy reading the second text he got from Colleen,
[Wyatt, nobody steals from the Heatsends. I mean nobody. Henrick\'s stool from my husband and made him into a laughing stock in the world\'s eyes. Last time I let him get away but this time I will not.]
[Besides, plague is no big deal it is not like this is the first time a devil has used it to retaliate against us card apprentices. There are many cowardly devils out there, this is not our first and will definitely not be the last to see such an incident. However, prevention is better than cure. So, pull yourself together and stop the devil before it releases plague in our world.]
Reading Colleen\'s text, Wyatt slapped his forehead in frustration learning that she was willing to let the world suffer a round of plague just so she could get a shot to redeem her and her husband\'s honor that she lost by letting Henricks escape with Luna who held the Silver Beach dungeon card. Does she not get that the first ones to face the wrath of the plague would be the people of the Southern region?
What irritated Wyatt even more was that not only was she willing to let her people suffer but Colleen was using Wyatt as bait. This whole time, the numerous times he was in danger, she chose not to act because she knew the leader of the freedom fighters would take action to save him as they were after his VR-Universe cards. Using this as an opportunity Colleen planned to capture Henricks.
\'Fuck, she has all her priorities messed up.\' Shaking his head in dismay Wyatt replied to Colleen instantly,
[I blame the idiot who was stupid enough to make a muscle-head soldier the Queen. You dumb old hag, your duty is towards your people, your honor is in serving your people, and lastly, your pride is in the happiness of your people. Take it from one person who once had his priorities messed up, If you really want to redeem that idiot\'s honor, then fulfill your duty dumbass. His pride is in you doing your job, not you seeking a vendetta.
Forget about the Freedom Fighters for now, I promise you I will teach those bastards a lesson. Trust me as nobody is more pissed at them than me. So, I am begging you woman come help me beat this fucker before it is too late.]
From the outside, the answer is simple and pretty obvious. But when you are at the heart of the incident, the answers are complex and no longer obvious. The same was true for Colleen who was at the very heart of the Freedom Fighter incident. That day, she— no, her husband lost because she was weak.
He said the only reason he could stand guard at the Way Beyond was because she was there for the Southern region. That day she failed him by letting the one good thing that could promise a better future for the Southern Region be stolen right in front of her eyes. She felt like she betrayed her husband causing her to lose sight of her priorities and take extreme steps.
