'Anna, snap out of it. Wyatt did not reach out to Susan about faking his, Susan is just in denial about Wyatt's death,' Seeing Anna's mind enter the dark place, Ann instantly switched to damage control and talked Anna back to the bright side.

'Really?' Anna asked Ann in suspicion.

'Just look at her she is devastated over the loss of a friend. Besides if Wyatt had informed her about him faking his death, wouldn't he have asked her to keep it a secret?' Ann explained to the volatile Anna.

'...' Anna and Ann together stared at Susan only to see her stare back at them furiously ready to fight to the death.?????e???v?l.?o?

Seeing Susan's response Anna found Susan cute and finally relaxed feeling what Ann said was true, Susan was just in the denial stage of grieving. Soon Anna started to pity Susan because she knew though all this was just an act for her, it was all real for Susan.

'I can't believe that you, Anna Heatsend, the southern emperor adored by many were Jealous of a little card scholar girl from a humble background,' Ann did not miss the chance to taunt Anna because it was very rare for Anna to ever get jealous and act insecure so seeing Susan bring that out in Anna, Ann could not help self but taunt Anna.

'Shut up, I was not jealous. I was just angry that is all,'

As Anna went to the place, Susan was in the spotlight for her sudden outburst. As a weak card scholar with a humble background, she seemed out of place in this group and now she dares to interrupt the only heir of her ruler, now that was daring.

Even if Susan's company did not outcast her for background and realm but considering how disgruntled Anna was over grief it was neither the time nor place for her to act up. So everyone present could not help but feel no matter how accommodating Anna was she would not let this one slide.

? But before Anna could act up, Aba ignorantly said, "Umm, I am confused. Is Wyatt alive or not?"

With this, the spotlight s.h.i.+fted from Susan to Aba. Hearing her everyone could not help but think how ignorant she was and wondered how she survived so far, obviously thanks to her demiG.o.d father.

When everyone formed an opinion about Aba, they did not know that Aba did not ask this question because she was ignorant. Instead, she asked this to save her friend Susan's skin. She had already gotten the news of her friend's death; she did not want to hear another one.

Aba was clear about how the boy's death also meant the same for her but despite her worries, she acted in care for her friend. Not fearing that this made her situation even worse.

If the boy were here he could see why Aba grew to save humanity in the Clown mask's vision despite her current shortcomings. She had a big and kind heart.

As Anna and Ann's gaze landed on her Aba did not regret her choice, she continued to attract their anger so that they would forget Susan's sudden outburst, "What? Is it wrong that I want clarity? I need to know if I should be sad or happy, after all, Wyatt was my friend."

As Aba was trying her best to attract Anna's anger to keep her friend Susan safe, she heard her grandaunt Asong say, "Girl, will you shut up? Why are you provoking death, are you that desperate to meet your maker and ask him for the missing screws in your brain?"

Hearing her grandaunt say these words Aba felt insulted but before she could give Asong a fitting reply she felt Susan glare at her, this caused Aba to feel wronged. After all, she was doing all this to save Susan's skin, but now seeing Susan also blame her for being ignorant like others, how could she not feel aggrieved? Considering the situation she could give Susan an explanation and it was not certain if Susan would even believe her reason for saying such insensitive things.

Before the situation became more awkward for Aba, Ann who was silent so far suddenly spoke up, "Susan, Wyatt was a.s.sa.s.sinated. Your denying it will not change the fact. And big sis Asong, Anna has promised DemiG.o.d Windsor to take care of Aba so we will not kill for the time being but once she returns home, we will uphold our words."

Heatsend Royal Family's Honor, this was Ann's ingenious plan to resolve the situation without resorting to bloodshed.

Anna extended Aba's stay as a hostage because DemiG.o.d Windsor asked her to, he promised to reward her handsomely and Anna promised to bring some positive change to his daughter.

Anna was not the best teacher available but she had her achievements to back her merit as a teacher and not to mention she would not deter from the fact that Ann was the beloved daughter of a demiG.o.d when it came to teaching Ann a lesson.

It was a harmless win-win agreement between the two parties.

If Anna were to kill Aba now then it would mean she broke her promise which would be a big stain on Heatsend Royal Family's Honor, giving Anna a plausible reason to not kill Aba without arising Asong or her bodyguard's suspicion about the boy's death. This was the ingenious reason Ann had come up with.

Using this reason as a perfect cover Anna delayed killing Aba, contrary to her word that she would kill Agatha's precious if she could not protect Anna's precious. And from the looks of Asong and her bodyguards, it seemed that Ann's plan worked. Asong's next words were a good a.s.surance of that, "Ann you too, I would accept this from her but you? Come on you guys, things don't have to end like this"
