Chapter 1455 Jill & Ann

?

Date- 12 April 2321

Time- 23:46

Location- Southern Region, Southern Capital, Southern Royal Palace

'How dare this bitch try to visit Wyatt this late at night?' Ann was fuming after listening to the reports of royal guards about Jill Norley coming to visit Wyatt at almost midnight. So she headed to the palace grounds entrance to give Jill her peace of mind.

"Let me in. I need to discuss something serious with Wyatt," Jill yelled, being denied entry into the royal palace grounds. 

It did not take much for Jill to get her father to spill the whole truth. Though her father was strong-willed and tight-lipped, she knew just the right words to get him talking. 

After learning the full truth from her father Jill immediately rushed to the Southern Royal Palace with only one thought in her mind, to tell the boy what she had learned. 

On her way over here, it never occurred to Jill that she could just call the boy and inform him. She just wanted to see the boy and tell him everything in person. It wasn't clear what she was trying to achieve by doing this. 

"Miss, it is way past visiting hours please come back in the morning," the royal guards continued to deny Jill entry to the royal palace grounds where the Southern Royal Palace and the Royal Guest Palace were located. 

Realizing that the royal guards were giving her the runaround to stall her, Jill immediately knew who was behind this, the same person who did not allow her entry to the Southern capital when she first arrived, Ann Heatsend. 

Just when Jill planned to call Wyatt and ask him to come pick her up or have the royal guards let her in, she saw the culprit Ann fly over to the entrance of the Royal palace grounds from within and land next to her. 

Before Jill could greet Ann, she heard Ann fire, "What the heck are you thinking trying to visit Wyatt this late at night?" 

Listening to Ann's tone of questioning, Jill's mind snapped, feeling belittled and attacked. So despite her better judgment, she asked Ann, "What is it to you?" 

Ann's eyes widened in anger seeing that Jill had the audacity to say that to her face. Enraged Ann ordered, "Guards arrest her for trespassing and lock her up in the Heathen Stone Prison." 

The expressions of the royal guards became complicated, being suddenly ordered by Ann to arrest Jill under false charges and to throw her in the Heathen Stone prison.

The senior most royal guard present immediately blurted, "Princess, calm down. Requesting to visit the royal guests at night doesn't count as trespassing." 

Ann stared daggers at the senior royal guard and the latter kept his head down knowing that it was in his interest to take a step back and let the princess vent. 

Seeing Ann be so unreasonable that she ordered the guards to arrest her under false charges, Jill was stumped. She did not know how she had wronged Ann for Ann to hold such a grudge against her. 

Then Jill calmed down realizing that if not for the Southern royal guard being moral and ethical she would have been dragged to the heathen stone prison under Ann's false accusation. 

Therefore, Jill did not continue to provoke Ann and said, "Wyatt's life is in danger. I am here to help." 

"Wyatt's life has been in danger even before I met him and we're fully capable of protecting him. So you do not need to bother yourself with this. Please leave, you are not welcome here," Ann did not bother to hide her hostility toward Jill by choosing her words. 

"Oh. So you guys know that the recruiters from Morningstar University are here in the Southern capital and tomorrow they are going to interview Wyatt for his early enrollment to MorningStar University?" Jill questioned Ann. 

"..." Ann was without words listening to the information reported by Jill. 

The Southern royal family was aware that a group of renowned professors and researchers from Morningstar University had entered the Southern capital. But they had little idea as to why these renowned professors and researchers were visiting the Southern Capital; they believed it had to do something with the dual gate dungeon or the VR-Universe. 

However, they had no idea that they were recruiters from MorningStar University let alone that these people had already talked to Wyatt informing him of the interview regarding his early admission to their university. 

"How do you know that?" Ann asked Jill, even though she was skeptical about what Jill said. Since it involved the boy Ann did not want to take any risk. 

"I know more than that. If you care about Wyatt then let me talk to him," Jill bargained with Ann. 

"Fine, but you will have to tell me everything you know about the recruiters from MorningStar University and their interview with Wyatt," Ann had no choice but to compromise since she needed the information Jill had. 

"No problem, I plan to tell everything about the interview to Wyatt anyway," Jill was just happy that Ann finally listened to reason. 

However, Jill was quite disappointed with the Southern Royal family's security and surveillance measures. Especially since they had no idea that the visitors from Morningstar University were here to recruit Wyatt and that they had managed to contact Wyatt and get him to agree to attend their interview for his early admission to their university. 

The Southern Royal family was not to be blamed here as they did not spare any efforts to closely surveil the boy's every action to keep him out of harm's way but the boy proved to be too much for them. 

Yes, a boy who had recently advanced to the card master realm proved to be too much for the entire Southern royal family. Because ever since he had arrived at the Royal palace, most of his time here, he had hidden in a space item card escaping the eyes and ears the royal family had planted around him.
