Wyatt and Henricks silently stared at each other, as things were not going as either of them planned. Henricks planned to be in and out with Clown Mask but that failed horribly he got captured instead. Wyatt planned to use the situation to his advantage and manipulate the captured Henricks to get what he wanted but the latter did not act like a captive. Meanwhile, the Field Marshal and Corey quietly stood back and listened to their conversation. Even the Field Marshal did not know what Corey was doing there. Especially when all her efforts to have a decent conversation with her failed. Even the Royal Instructor was rendered helpless against this girl's stubbornness. "How did you know I would be coming to get the girl?" Henricks finally broke the silence, he could not figure out how Wyatt knew that he would be coming and to prepare a trap. "You did not come, I made you come. Why else do you think that they would show a convicted felon in the 'Southern Hope' promotional video? It wasn't a mistake, it was on purpose. I am surprised that you took the bait so fast. Man, things might be getting really desperate for the Freedom Fighter for you to make such a mistake," Wyatt revealed as an unconscious grin formed on his face. Then, he added insult to Henrick's injury saying, "Thanks to your big mouth we already knew Luna had told you about Clown Mask. So, it was easy." After losing the wager, the Field Marshal insisted that Wyatt return the Clown Mask to the secure facility as it was for her safety. However, Wyatt ignored her warnings saying that she could try to take Clown Mask away, and he would free her gain. Having no idea how Wyatt managed to help Clown Mask escape the secure facility that held her captive, the Field Marshal had no choice but to follow Wyatt's arrangements regarding Clown Mask. After all, if he could free once he could free her again.

Once the Field Marshal stopped bugging him about returning Clown Mask to her cell and truly became his subordinate, Wyatt explained his plans for using Clown Mask as bait to lure Henricks out. Recalling her grudge with Henricks the Field Marshal readily agreed to Wyatt's plan. Following Wyatt's instructions, the Field Marshal was the one who went behind Anna's mother's back and had the editorial staff not edit Clown Mask out of the 'Southern Hope' promotional video making it look like an oversight, a careless mistake on the part of the editorial staff. However, neither Wyatt nor the Field Marshal except Henricks catch their bait so soon. This was really unexpected. If not for Wyatt's prompt alarm, the Field Marshal might have missed the window to capture Henricks. At first, she thought Wyatt's plan was a gamble and might not pan out as it totally hieghed on Henricks desperation. They both believed Henricks would see through their trap yet he would attempt to kidnap Clown Mask considering her value to Freedom Fighters and their cause and seeing how it all turned out, the Field Marshal was really impressed by her new liege. She was starting to find his mysterious ways profound. When the unknown works against you, you fear it.

When the unknown works for you, you revere it. "Haha, everyone warned me about you. I should have listened to them," Henricks laughed off the revelation, accepting his mistake. The 'everyone' Henricks talked about here a single person, the Southern Princess aka Anna's mother, during their deal she warned him not to trust Wyatt or underestimate his means but he dismissed her warning thinking, 'the pot is calling the kettle black.' Now that he was trapped, he could not help but regret not thinking it through before he rushed over to kidnap the Clown Mask. He should have held a council, his friends would have stopped him from committing such a stupid mistake. But it was too late to regret now. "I guess it's because of my age, people just can not help but underestimate me because of it," Wyatt said while eyeing Corey, he was surprised to see her remain so disciplined, by now she would have done or said something to p.i.s.s him off. He really wanted to ask her. 'what the heck are you doing here?' but did not want to lose the momentum he had gained in his conversation with Henricks. Therefore, reverted his attention to Henricks. Swearing to himself that he would let her have it if she were to ruin this for him. "So you really switched sides, huh? I did not think I would live to see this day," Henricks eyed the Field Marshal, changing the topic seeing he was not getting an edge over Wyatt at all. He wondered if this kid had always been so hard to talk with. "It looks like I failed to cleanse the Southern Royal Palace of Luna's minions," the Field Marshal said, believing it had to be Luna's minions who had informed her about her leaving her niece's side. "I don't know about that, but it wasn't her. Your niece isn't invulnerable like she pretends to be. Gainover, sure did a number on her," Henricks scoffed, only to have his face punched by the Field Marshal. Both Wyatt and Corey were surprised by her reaction. Especially, Wyatt. He was watching out for Corey ruining things for him but he did not expect the Field Marshal to be the black sheep. Grabbing Henricks by the collar, she asked, "Talk, what happened?" Wiping the blood trickling down his broken nose, Henricks replied, "There is no point in hiding it, the news should have reached the Southern Royal Palace by now. Your dear niece had an episode of anger in the central capital. She went on a rampage, it took her dozen demiG.o.d bodyguards and a dozen more demiG.o.d security personnel to calm her down. It seems your betrayal completely broke her." "Is that all," the Field Marshal sighed in relief letting go of Henrick's collar and dropping him on the chair. Soon she added, "You should not have underestimated her thinking of her as a disgruntled divorcée. I guess you could not help it like the others. Otherwise, you would not recklessly rush over here and still would have been a freeman."
