As soon as the Field Marshal spoke those words, the heated atmosphere immediately turned awkward. The four demigods from the rescue response team joined the Royal Instructor to admire the Blood Rule Domain not wanting to be part of the family drama, with one of them asking the old gentleman, "Royal Instructor, is this the supposed 'Celestial Rule Domain' of the myths?"

"Yes, ain't it beautiful," the Royal Instructor uttered, if not for the mission he would have rushed to examine the domain above him. "It is, it feels like a small world independent of the card world," one of the demigods said and another added, "It is unlike any domain I have seen." The Royal Instructor nodded in response as the demigods could not have described the celestial rule domain better. "Son?" Luna's father looked at his mother in rage. Then, repeated the words she had said to him, his siblings, and his lovely daughter on numerous occasions, "When we're working, I'm not your son, and you're not my mother. Got it?"

"Sigh! Son, you still hold me responsible for what Luna did?" the Field Marshal asked. She was painfully aware that her strictness about Honor and Loyalty had become a wedge driving her apart from her children and grandchildren.

"Don't you dare call me your son? Do you remember what you said to me when I came to you to beg you not to disown Luna? You said Luna Lorn, my daughter is dead and what remains of her is a traitor? By that logic, my mother is dead and what remains of her is a rebel and a traitor!" Luna's father roared and declared. "Son, I know you are hurting but please leave I don't want to harm you of all people," the Field Marshal pleaded with her son. As his mother, the Field Marshal understood her son's strength so she knew it would be difficult even for her to subdue him without doing any permanent damage. Now what kind of mother would choose to harm her son if it can be avoided? The rescue response team was a small squadron of elites but had many capable demigods in it, for Field Marshal's son to show up out of all the capable demigods as the leader of the rescue response team along with the Royal Instructor showed that Anna's mother spared no effort to take the Field Marshal down and make sure she stayed down. "I heard enough of this," Luna's father was infuriated listening to the Field Marshal and ordered his team, "Get in position, prepare the five-point battle array formation." "I am out!" one of the demigods threw in the towel before the decisive battle and soon another did too, "Team Leader, count me out too." Listening to his team members withdraw before the decisive battle one after the other, Luna's father sharply turned to face his team and requested, "Guys, come on, I need you to back me up on this one." Unlike his mother who followed strict workplace hierarchy and conduct, Luna's father was easygoing, considered his subordinates his friends, and treated them as such. "Leader, this changes things," the demigod who quit first said pointing at the celestial blood rule domain adding, "I think we should report this before we make any hasty move." "Cadet, do you know who is responsible for this beautiful domain?" the Royal Instructor asked the Field Marshal, ignoring the discussion between the rescue response team. "Yes, instructor. It is the kid that recently became famous as the Hope of the Southern region, Dalton Wyatt," the Field Marshal proudly reported to her old military instructor. "Ah, I have heard of him and used one of his cards, the VR-slime card. Its soul energy digestion effect has helped me relive my mortal days and the VR-universe was an eye-opener. I wanted to meet the boy but not under these circumstances." As a demigod who has achieved the peak of the card world, the Royal Instructor had long outgrown the need for mortal necessities such as eating and drinking. But ever since he learned about the soul energy digestion effect of the VR-slime card, he has been indulging in eating high-ranking monster meat especially, ever since the VR universe introduced him to an unexplored profession in the culinary world, Monster Chef. The feeling of eating the we'll seasoned meat of the SSS-rank dragon monster was just too addictive. "Royal instructor, not you too," Luna's father was stumped seeing that even the Royal Instructor showed a lack of interest in fighting the Field Marshal and was distracted by the celestial rule domain like the rest of his teammates. The Royal Instructor was one of the oldest demigods in the Southern Region, he had already seen through what was going on here. Therefore, he was not keen on completing the mission assigned to him. The existence of the celestial rule domain only cemented his resolve. So, he continued to ignore Luna's father. Ignoring her son, the Field Marshal continued her talk with her instructor, "It doesn't have to be that way. I am sure Wyatt too would love to meet you and appreciate the opportunity to learn from you, instructor." "I don't dare," the Royal Instructor suddenly said adding, "What can I possibly teach to someone who recreated the Celestial Rule Domain? I would be lucky if he were willing to enlighten me."

The Royal Instructor wasn't being polite he honestly thought that he had nothing to teach Wyatt and had a lot to learn from him instead. This humility of the old gentleman alone was enough to show why for the last few generations he was chosen to instruct the royal descendants. "Royal Instructor, that— I cannot promise you anything. If you have heard about him then you should know that he is a bit erratic," the Field Marshal hesitated before promising the Royal Instructor anything. As Wyatt's loyal subordinate, she was in no place to make commitments for him. "A bit?" Luna's father scoffed listening to his mother downplay the unpredictability of Wyatt to the Royal Instructor. "No worries, just help me introduce myself to the young 'Southern Hope.' As for the rest, let us see how things progress."
