??The southern royal family never released the information they collected from the Clown mask. So the information about the upheaval caused by the three mischiefs in the future was not yet known to the government and the other three royal families. There were three important reasons behind the southern royal family not sharing the information with the rest of the world leaders,

??1. Currently aside from Clown Mask they had no other evidence of the tragedy that three mischiefs will unfold or the fact that the three mischiefs existed. 

??2. After knowing Matron's origin card ability they did not know whom to trust in their own Royal family let alone the Government and the other Royal families.

??3. They did not want to share Clown Mask and her foreknowledge of the future. This was very valuable info anybody would want to monopolize it. 

??Since the world did not know about the three mischiefs, they had no idea that two of the three mischiefs have put a target on the back of the prodigy who created the silver milk powder. 

??Without the Southern Royal family telling them, there was no way for the world to know how important the creator of silver milk powder was and why Agatha needed to be thorough as the bodyguard of the creator of the silver milk powder. 

??The means of the three mischiefs were not to be underestimated. With two out of three mischiefs after his life, the life of the creator of the silver milk powder was in imminent danger. Though where the creator of the silver milk powder was heading was still within the bounds of the southern region, with the abilities of Matron it was unclear who and when will turn into an enemy and try to assassinate the creator of the silver milk powder. 

??With all this in mind, Anna planned to make sure that Agatha knew what was at stake without revealing any information, hence she did not hesitate to use Aba to make Agatha come to an understanding despite her deal with demigod Windsor. 

??"Your highness southern emperor, is there anything I should know about?" after calming herself Agatha felt something amiss, not just Anna and Ann's sudden change of attitude but the fact that a low-level card apprentice would go as far as to hire a semi-demigod as his bodyguard, what would make him feel the need to do that? He would only do that if he knew that his life is in danger, considering that he went as far as to hire the biggest gun available for hire in the market, it meant that people after his life also owned big guns too. Finally, Agatha realized that this little favor was not as easy as it seemed, Therefore she asked for the real picture to Anna. 

??"Slow but smart enough, better than a musclehead I guess." Seeing that Agatha finally caught on to their train of thoughts Anna added, "All you have to know is that there are a lot of powerful people who want Wyatt dead." 

??"..." Hearing Anna the room went silent, especially Susan and even Asong stopped stuffing her face and looked at Anna with a serious face.

??"Is it because of that?" Susan's question broke the silence in the room and all the eyes focused on her. Though Susan did not know what her young boss was up to all the time, she knew he had created a miraculous powder that was able to help her a late bloomer overcome the restriction of her realm and talent to sign a silver grimoire. 

??"Yes," Ann replied thinking the less Susan knew the better. As for Anna, feeling the apprehension in Susan's eyes she looked into Susan's fear-filled eyes and added, "I promise as long as I am alive I will not let any harm befall him." 

??"I trust you," Susan answered resolutely as if she could see the conviction in Anna's eyes. 

??"You know what you have to do, now get to work," Anna ordered Agatha. 

??"Don't worry princess, I will be right back." Assuring Aba, Agatha turned to look at Asong, and then doing a full ninety-degree bow she added, "Madam Asong, I will leave the princess in your care." 

??"..." Asong nodded in response to Agatha's request. 

??Just as Agatha was about to leave, Anna stopped her, "Hold on a second." 

??"Yes," Agatha paused and took the cards handed by Anna. Taking the cards Agatha glanced at them and sudden shock greeted her. Then she shuttering said, "Your highness, this card, are you sure I can use it?" 

??"Yes, I have removed the restriction on the card for the next three days time period and only use it if necessary otherwise it will lead to a political shit storm, which I am trying to avoid by sending you as Wyatt's bodyguard." One of the cards given to Agatha by Anna was a Royal family's secret card. This could help Agatha in a desperate situation but would also become evidence against the Southern royal family hinting that had hand in the attack against the foreign embassy in the southern region.

??"I understand," Agatha responded understanding the gravity of the situation. Since the situation could prompt the southern royal family to lend an outsider their family's secret cards then the situation was ten times more serious and dangerous than she previously thought. 

??"I like your enthusiasm, but just to remind you what is at stack let me tell you your princess and your life depend on this job. So don't you dare slack off." Anna warned Agatha one last time, before letting Agatha out of her sight.

??After Agatha left, Asong turned to look at her guards and said, "Guard captain send two of your people to help Agatha." 

??"I am sorry madam, I can not do that. Our top priority is to protect you." The guard captain did not think twice before rejecting Asong's order. 

??"I appreciate that, but if Agatha fails to keep Wyatt safe, you guys will have to fight those two to bring me out of here because I am not leaving here until I know that Aba is safe, understood?" Asong laid it out for her guard captain, helping him understand that it would be in his and his soldier's best interest to help Agatha accomplish her mission. 

??"But-" Seeing the Guard Captain still hesitated Asong interrupted him and pointing at Anna and Ann duo she added, "With those two here, I don't think anyone can harm me." 

??The Guard captain wanted to say, 'It is them I am worried about,' but didn't and reluctantly agreed to Asong's orders. Because he knew Asong would not leave from here without making sure Aba was safe.
