"I don't know what you are talking about," Faced with Ann's questions I denied that I had anything to do with them not being able to monitor my calls and texts. 

I chose to overlook the fact that the Southern Royal family was monitoring my calls and texts because there wasn't a court in the world that would hold them in contempt for encroaching on my rights. So why bother complaining? 

Ann looked at the boy suspiciously before returning to the topic, "Wyatt, don't tell me you are seriously considering attending the early admission interview of Morningstar University?" 

"Considering? It's already a done deal. Oh yeah, just so you know the interview is at 9:45 this morning at Prestige four seasons. Could you make transportation arrangements for me?" I informed Ann.

"Wyatt, you cannot attend the interview. It is a trap set by the central government and Morningstar University, They cannot get to you inside the Southern royal palace ground so they are using the interview as bait to lure you out," Jill hurriedly revealed despite her father repeatedly begging her not to reveal any information to the boy and warn him of their plans because she was in love with the boy. When she was around the boy, Jill felt comfortable, happy, and could be herself. 

Last time when Jill met the boy she was still in doubt if her feelings for the boy were hers or an illusion created by her physique but today she knew for sure her feelings for the boy were hers from her soul. This was why Jill's physique would react so strongly in the presence of the boy. 

What Jill's body wanted and what her soul wanted were one and the same, this created a perfect synergy between them empowering her physique's capabilities further enough to drive her mad with a panty-drenching level of passion every time she was in the presence of the boy. 

"Central government is also behind this," Ann exclaimed in great shock. 

Listening to Jill, Ann was astonished to learn that Morningstar University was not acting alone but they were in collaboration with the central government. She finally understood where Morningstar University got the guts to try and poach the Southern royal family's talent.

Unlike the central government which learned about the secrets of the VR-Universe from Morningstar University, the Southern royal family had yet to figure it out as with Luna gone their research and analysis wing was all over the place. 

Therefore, Ann had not figured out why the central government and Morningstar University, two unlikely allies, would band together to target the boy. This was also the reason why the Southern Royal family cared so little when they learned that the professors and researchers from Morningstar University were visiting the Southern Capital.

"Yes, the central government wants the VR-Universe while the MorningStar University wants to know how Wyatt created the VR-Universe, therefore they are collaborating to target Wyatt," Jill confirmed and explained why the two, unlikely of allies, have come together and joined hands. 

"So what? This changes nothing, tomorrow I am going to attend the interview and nobody can stop me from doing so," I declared. 

This wasn't my ego speaking, I genuinely felt that I should attend the university interview as I could not choose to hide in the royal palace grounds for the rest of my life, I had to leave someday. Therefore I decided to use the university interview as an opportunity to show the conspirators conspiring against me that no matter how many conspiracies they brew they cannot get to me. 

The way I saw it I had two choices, the first choice was to face my enemies and conquer them or die trying. The second choice was to hide and avoid my enemies until I no longer could. 

I chose to face my enemies and conquer them, if I failed to do so I planned to run and live to fight another day rather than stubbornly stick around and sacrifice my life in vain. 

"Wyatt, you can't be serious. Why would you stubbornly choose to attend the interview when you know it is a trap?" Ann yelled at the boy in concern. She could not understand why the boy would stubbornly choose to give the university interview despite knowing it was a trap. 

"Why? Because I am sick of running and hiding, Ann. I am sick of people telling me what I can do and what I cannot do. I am sick of people constantly trying to take my things or trying to kill me. I am sick of not being able to pursue projects for the fear that they will be taken away from me," I finally spoke about the frustration I felt. Though I was free, I wasn't actually free.

"Wyatt, I know you are frustrated by your situation but this is how life is. Not everything goes as planned, so it does not mean you put yourself in harm's way by taking unnecessary risks just because a few things did not go your way," Ann tried to persuade the boy to not risk his life just because a few things did not go the way he expected them to.

"Ann, that may be how life is for you. But I won't accept such a life," I spoke what I thought and then added, "Ann, do you know what Anna said when I approached her with the silver milk powder? She promised that no harm will fall on me within the borders of the Southern region.

That day, believing her words I exchanged the silver milk powder with her to live my life the way I wanted in the Southern region. 

Right now I am in the southern capital, the heart of the Southern region, and here you are telling me that I cannot go out in the city as it is not safe for me. This was not what I was promised.

Ann, it is time, time for the Southern Royal family to come through with their promise. Tomorrow I am going to the university interview regardless of what you, your family, and anybody else think. Nobody can dictate the way I live my life, I am done being tolerant."
