Wyatt never planned to let anyone enter his seed world, but for Dredre he made an exception. He would soon be leaving to meet the Card World's only Devil Merchant meanwhile he needed people he could trust to keep Dredre company. At first, he thought Stone Viltronians, Broken rule spirits, and his calamity daughter gems could do the trick but it seemed he had underestimated the Pixie's introvertness.

Opening the door Wyatt sent out his clone to do his chores and let Ann and Aria enter the seed world. 

Ann and Aria were not new to entering sub-spaces but they had never seen a space like the seed world, a vast void with a few floating islands and an artificial sun. It took a second for them to adjust to the gravity in the seed world as they curiously looked around the seed word. Finding Wyatt not far from them, they flew up to him. 

"I take it this is your workshop," Ann said looking at the floating islands containing numerous SSS-rank card creation array formations. She was humbled wondering how Wyatt came to possess such an incredible sub-space and the high-rank card creation arrays. She knew better than to ask Wyatt about their origin.

"You can call it that. So, how far has the investigation come?" Wyatt asked Ann even though he knew that the southern royal would not be able to come up with anything he already did not know. 

"Well, the investigation has hit a dead end. The demigod responsible for watching over the city was under some kind of spell and we could not get anything from investigating everyone that has come in contact with Corey let alone Susan and Cortney. We have managed to find some leads on Handsome Fox but I don't believe it will lead to anything. Someone who went to such lengths to hide his identity and is capable of putting a demigod under a spell for a long time without their knowledge would not make the mistake of letting his identity be revealed to a bunch of low-level card apprentices no less. I shared the investigation reports and everything asked regarding the case to your grimoire hopefully you are more lucky than us in finding clues," Ann reported to Wyatt looking at the little pink creature atop his shoulder. Then finally she could not help but ask, "Is that a pixie? I have never seen a pink one before." 

"Thanks, Ann," Wyatt thanked Ann for the report and then explained, "That is because the pixies you know are actually from the dark pixie tribe of pixies but Dredre, here, is from forest guide / book guide pixie tribe." 

"Dredre, this is Ann Heatsend my friend and that is Aria Art my supposed bodyguard," Wyatt introduced Ann and Aria to Dredre. He hoped these two would do a better job at keeping Dredre company than the stone viltronians and the broken rule spirits. 

"Hello, I am Dredre, nice to meet you," Dredre greeted the two human females curiously. 

"Hello, Dredre," the duo said in unison, they could not resist Dredre's cuteness. However, their enthusiasm made Dredre wary of them. 

"She is very shy, give her some time she will get used to you guys," Wyatt said aloud but mentally added, 'Hopefully.'

The Infinity Library was basically Dredre's home and as a book guide pixie of the library, she was more prepared to meet strangers as customers and guide them despite their attitude. But her meeting with Aria and Ann was different, they were her friends' friends she had too much pressure on her to be liked by them or at least not be hated by them. 

"Dredre, why don't you show Aria your forest?" Wyatt proposed, he left Dredre no room to reject because he wanted her to adapt to the company of Aria and Ann fast. 

Wyatt even felt that Dredre's meek behavior was because of him, she was too dependent on him. She needed to get used to the seed world even before her forest's spirit matured, even without the forest spirit the seed world was her home for now. She had to understand Wyatt could not accompany her in the seed world as he couldn't put his life on hold till the forest spirit was born and matured.

"O-okay," Dredre reluctantly agreed. As for Aria, she was just enthusiastic that she got to accompany such a cute creature. This might be the first time on her job she felt the satisfaction of joining it. Soon she put on her game face, planning to gain Dredre's trust and make her comfortable around her during this trip.

Looking at Dredre and Aria leave, Wyatt turned to Ann and asked, "Now that Aria is gone, speak freely. What is it that you wanted to ask?" 

"It is about Corey, what is her identity? Why does the sinister snake follow her? Is she related to the undead devil that you subdued in the southern capital? Lastly, is she a demon?" Ann asked. 

The Southern royal family had noticed the peculiarity of Corey. It was hard not to notice it. The only reason why Colleen did not talk about it was because she was not good at having these kinds of talks. Which was where Lorenzo, Anna's mom, and Ann came in. Colleen was the authority they were the brain behind the authority. 

"Corey has many identities but as of now, she is Corey Bright the honest and loyal citizen of the Southern region. I hope your family treats her that way. She may be weak now but her future is boundless and will not be limited to this realm. So I recommend you guys to just ignore her existence. She will not harm innocent people, the interest of the Southern region, or the card world if that is what you guys are concerned about."
