Time- 20:15

Location- Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Mall, Warehouse no.234

Under the gaze of the three most powerful women I have known so far, Susan stood not knowing how to deal with the predicament she was in. She had just heard some privileged information that she shouldn't have and now the other three were deciding what to do with her. Nervous, Susan once again swore, "Your highness, I swear I will not pass everything I heard hear to another soul."

"Hahaha, relax honey. We are messing with you. Most of the stuff we just told is common knowledge for the people in the central capital. So, no harm done." Asong laughed and assured Susan that the information she just heard was common knowledge in the central capital but privileged way down the south especially here in Sky Blossom city.

"Manager Susan, you have to relax a little bit like your boss, look at him shamelessly demanding privileged information as if it was his right," said Anna.

"Your highness, I wouldn't dare." Susan was a law fearing citizen whose parents taught her to thank the Southern Royal family every day for the bread she was able to eat three times a day without having to bloody her hands. Asides from her parent's teaching Susan had huge respect for the Royal family and its members, who maintain the peace in the south. This was one of the reasons, Susan was not more aggressive about pursuing her young love and confessing her feelings to him, because she felt she was stealing him from the Southern emperor, so it was wrong. Just when Susan overcame her moral dilemma of falling for a younger man and her boss at that, new obstacles were erected in her path. Amped up with her feelings for her boss, Susan did try to fight for her love against her highness but soon felt huge guilt. Her heart was in love but it was also loyal to the Royal family, caught up in a moral dilemma, Susan could never bring herself to confess her feelings to her boss.

"Susan, we have been in each other's company for more than a week so I think you should get more comfortable around us, therefore ditch the honorifics will you." As a woman, Anna knew that Susan did not look at her young lover as her boss but more than that. Susan wasn't alone her young lover seemed to feel the same way for her, though he would deny it if asked. Anna knew better, her women's intuition was ringing crazy on this. Therefore she herself had indirectly warned Susan to back off, that was one of the low points in her life. Later she laminated how far her obsession had dragged her down because love would not do that to her. Realizing her mistake Anna wanted to recognize her love rival and wish that the best of them would win. This did not mean she would go easy on Susan.

"..." Susan looked at Anna not knowing how to answer. Her guilt towards Anna increased seeing her being so welcoming despite their clash a few nights ago, the members of the royal family are so good and forgiving just like the stories she heard about them when she was little.

"Susan, what happened to the girl from a few nights ago? She had some fight in her. Now that was the girl who knew what she wanted and didn't hesitate to roll up her sleeves to get it. I was quite impressed." Anna was not lying when she said these words as she really believed Susan to be her love rival.

Hearing Anna, Susan's respect for the southern royal family grew and so did her resolve from a few nights ago which was shackled by her guilt. Her resolve got rid of those shackles and glancing at Anna she said, "Southern Emperor, forgive me if I offend you."

"Offend me? Manager Susan, now you are just being full of yourself." Seeing the familiar resolve burning in Susan's eyes Anna thought, 'Since when did I have to scare little girls to get a man. Bring it, little girl, let me show you the charm of Anna Heatsend.'

Little did Anna know that she would come to regret and applaud this moment for underestimating the country girl as this country girl will be her greatest rival.

…

Asong was surprised to hear Anna's conversation with Susan and looked at Susan in a new light but what surprised her, even more, was that Anna's love started to sound one-sided. So she could help but glance at her friend's crush who seemed to be lost in his thoughts seeing his employee was no longer in trouble. And she couldn't help but wonder, 'What does Anna see in him? He has potential but not enough to fall madly in love with him. Well love is unreasonable, to think one of the goddesses of our batch would fall for some unknown country boy.'

As for Ann, she was busy occasionally peeking at her crush, she has been aching to meet him but she had to control herself because if Anna knew about her thoughts she would lock her up in her grimoire for the rest of their life. So she could not be obvious with her feelings. Which was very hard considering her bond with Anna. While Ann was peeking at her love she also continued to think of a solution to her problems, Anna.

…

Now that I knew why they had to trick the world's will to open Yin widow's grimoire, I could not understand how they were going to use a few drops of blood from Yin widow's corpse and the SS-rank The Dummy card to trick the world's will.

The effect of The Dummy card was to protect the card apprentice from immediate deadly damage and transfer the sustained damage by the user to itself, So how does it help in tricking the world's will, not to mention Yin Widow was dead how was her blood going to be used by the 'The Dummy' card, was that even possible?
