Seeing the orphanage headmaster continue to insist on giving Wyatt the proper respect that was deserving of the 'Hope of the South' the Field Marshal nodded in agreement having fully acknowledged her defeat and submitting her undying loyalty to Wyatt.
When she saw Wyatt bring the Clown Mask out of the dungeon seal, she did not believe it, but her unique eyes told her that the person she was seeing was indeed the real Clown Mask and not some duplicate that Wyatt arranged to dupe her. She could not fathom how the Clown Mask who was supposed to be locked away in a secret facility in a special space thousands of miles away would appear here in a few minutes.
After wrecking her brain to make sense of what she was observing for a few minutes, she gave up feeling utterly defeated. Unable to explain how she lost not to mention how she got roped into the bet the Field Marshal felt that Wyatt thoroughly defeated her. Hence a little of the reluctance she had in submitting her loyalty to Wyatt was erased but there was still a lot of it left however what could she do she took an oath with the world's will as the witness, she had no choice in this matter.
"Fine, Headmaster, please do as you see fit. After all, you are the host," Wyatt gave up, seeing how stubborn the Headmaster was about treating him with appropriate respect claiming that he represented the South.
"Don't worry child, as the host, I will not make my guest uncomfortable, but this is out of my hands. If it were up to me I would do as you say but it is not, your visit to the orphanage is a trending topic in the southern region not to mention I have to set an example for the kids after all they are not used to getting esteemed guests such as yourself," the orphanage Headmaster explained hoping it would help Wyatt understand why she was so insistent on treating him with appropriate respect and also so that this experience would not stop Wyatt from visiting the orphanage in the future.
"I understand," Wyatt nodded, deciding to follow the arrangement of the orphanage Headmaster for the breakfast. He was so cooperative with the Headmaster because, from the Clown Mask's future vision, Wyatt knew that she was not a simple mortal.
Not that the orphanage headmaster was a hidden expert or something, but she was an exceptional mortal. When the Matron took over the Southern Region overthrowing the Southern Royal family, the economic state of the Southern region was in turmoil. Because of this a lot of families were thrown on the streets and the Southern Royal family they trusted was nowhere to be found, but a saintess arose during this time of crisis in the Southern region, Clara Cassidy, the current orphanage headmaster.
If Clown Mask had not illegally brought her out of her hometown to become the headmaster of the orphanage in the Sky Blossom City to take care of Cortney then, by now she would have started leading a charitable organization to help the needy around the Southern Region.
For a mortal to run such an organization would not be simple in this world where only the strong were respected however with the Southern Watch as her backer Clara would have no problem running the charitable organization.
After Colleen's death because of Matron's conspiracy for the Forsaken Treasure at the Way Beyond, inconsolable Anna goes on a journey retracing the footsteps of Colleen trying to be closer to her late grandmother. That was when she would run into Clara Cassidy, the last living descendant of Colleen's BFF.
When meeting Anna for the first time, Clara would be in her late sixties, unmarried, dedicating her entire life to a small charitable organization as a low-level employee pretty much similar to what she was now.
However, she had no idea that the charitable organization she was working for was a front for the City Lord's money laundering and tax evasion. Clara only becomes aware of this when Anna comes looking for her as Anna's arrival spooks the City Lord into doing stupid things.
ƈοm Finding the truth about the charitable organization she was working for Clara felt like she was living a lie all this time and her heart was torn into two as even though the charitable organization was front for money laundering and tax evasion it was doing some good for the people by providing food and clothes for those that could not afford them. However, she could not be a part of a criminal organization.
Clara and Anna, both were going through their form of existential crisis. It was as if fate had brought them together to support each other through their tough time and climb out of the abyss together. They confided about their troubles with each other and helped each other overcome them.
With Anna's help, Clara was not only able to hold the City Lord accountable for his crimes, but she was also able to lead a bigger and better charitable organization. With Clara's help, Anna was able to deal with the loss of her grandmother and finally started taking the responsibility as the Southern Emperor seriously.
However, they both would meet a different ending. Anna would fall prey to Matron's conspiracy and foolishly invade the Northern Region to hold her father Gainover responsible for Colleen's death since he possessed the forsaken treasure.
Meanwhile, with the fall of the Southern Royal family and what remains of it going into hiding, Clara used the connection, reputation, and trust she had formed by leading the charitable organization supported and sponsored by the Southern Watch for years to gather funds and help those who had seen the worst of the regime change.
Clara's role doesn't end there. When the Hero Aba Windsor and her rebel Army Freedom Fighters come to free the Southern region from the tranny of the Matron, she uses the funds of the charitable organization to provide them with food and basic utilities.
Since the Saintess of the South was supporting the Hero Windsor, Aba was able to gain the trust and faith of the Southerners to overthrow the three mischiefs and form new government.
