Listening to Wyatt's words, the Field Marshal tried hard not to roll her eyes feeling that it was easy to talk big ideals, 'Claim the myriad realms as mine he says, as if it is a tree or a rock in my backyard.' Seeing this Wyatt shook his head and said, "You guys too comfortable fighting among yourself in the confines of the borders you created, fighting for what little you have, fighting to maintain the little power you have. You are afraid to leave this comfort zone and band together whenever it gets threatened." Wyatt thought the founders, the Royal families, the nobles, and the world leaders of the card world were all like the jocks and cheerleaders of a high school. They were the center of attention in their high school, suppressing and bullying anyone who dared to or remotely appeared to threaten them or their status in their high school. But when it's time for high school competitions, when they have to leave their comfort zone and compete with other high schools, they finally realize the world wasn't limited to just their high school yet they stubbornly try to cling to it as they know they are nothing outside of it. He could be blunt about this to the Field Marshal but then all he would be doing was hurting her feeling and nothing more. Now she was his, hurting her would be the same as hurting himself. So, he planned to make her realize this, such that she could accept it and correct it. "Wyatt, I don't know if you are keeping up with current World news but we are not afraid of leaving our comfort zone. The top ten universities, after collecting funds from use for centuries to research inter-dimensional travel, are finally showing signs of developing a way to care methods for inter-dimensional travel. It is not that our mindset is narrow but we are doing things at our pace," the Field Marshal defended her so-called principles. "I gave you a way to learn how the best minds in the myriad realms achieved inter-dimensional travel, but instead of using it, here you are bragging about the top ten universities taking centuries to finally show signs of developing a method for inter-dimensional travel. This is not doing things at one's pace but foolishness and you deny having narrow mindsets," Wyatt tried hard not to be too harsh with words to the Field Marshal knowing old people were too stubborn and set in their ways. It was already a win if they showed willingness to change. "Yes, you gave me a way Wyatt but at what cost? I have to become part of the very people that my ancestors fought, that murdered them, and that are trying to invade our world," the Field Marshal argued that the cost of this knowledge and power was too much for her. "Yes, you gave me a way Wyatt but at what cost? I have to become part of the very people that my ancestors fought, that murdered them, and that are trying to invade our world," the Field Marshal argued that the cost of this knowledge and power was too much for her. "Are you listening to yourself? Did you forget that we are not at war with the entire dark realm or the dark races? Because if that were the case then, the Card World would have long been destroyed. Trust me when I tell you that just one of the top 1000 strong from the dark realm would be enough to destroy the card world. Field Marshal, don't let your thrust for vengeance blind you. Know your enemy. That is the basis for winning any war. Those responsible for the first demon invasion in the card world have already been wiped out by your ancestors. That dark faction had a very miserable fate in the dark realm after losing their fight in the card world. Your ancestors were victorious, there is no revenge or vengeance left there for you to foster. If you believe there is, then there is no other bigger fool than you in this world. Those who plan to invade the card world for the second time are just another insignificant dark faction in the dark realm but not all the dark races from the entire dark realm. Don't let your prejudice get the better of you and cloud your sense of judgment. Trust me you don't want to live in a world where the entire dark realm is your enemy. Fortunately for you, the dark races are very open-minded when they stand to make a profit. This is why most of them do not mind sharing their strongest weapon 'Devil Merchant Code' with those who are not native to the Dark realm. By thinking that the Dark races are your enemies you are doing nobody any favors and only making matters worse for yourself and those that follow you. Despite all, if you still feel that you would be betraying your ancestors by becoming a devil merchant, then I will no longer force you," Wyatt was serious, becoming a devil merchant was a privilege coveted by many if the Field Marshal did not appreciate it he would no longer try and persuade her to be one. Seeing the Field Marshal was in a deep contemplation after listening to his words, Wyatt decided to leave her alone saying, "If you make up your mind, you know where to find Dredre. She will help you with the contract or help you leave the Seed world." The Field Marshal nodded, having decided to become a devil merchant. But she didn't immediately act on it. Wyatt's words did help her get things into perspective. But she needed to make sure that she would not come to regret it at a later date.

It wasn't news to her that the one Dark faction from the Dark realm was responsible for the first demon invasion. Their ancestors learned it when they planned to bring the fight to the dark realm. Some of the smart ones already knew that for them to live in peace they would have to make a few strong allies within the dark realm which would not be easy as they would have to somehow manage to gain their respect otherwise those allies would only come back to bite them.

She wondered if becoming the devil merchant was a shot at that. Making her decision easier for her.
