"Quite the opposite, actually. I was hoping you could take responsibility and make the contract official by marrying my Cousin.

The Soul contract of yours already makes Anna your full-time Nanny. I don't know what she was thinking when she signed the contract. That topic is for another day. 

You don't actually believe you can have the heiress of the Heatsend royal family work as your bodyguard for the rest of your life. Right? 

If not for Anna speaking up for you and you being needed for the Silver milk powder project. My Aunt would have already disposed of you." First, Luna's thoughts aligned with her grandpa's desire to enslave Wyatt. But now, after seeing the mecha cards, Luna realized the potential and talent in Wyatt. And seeing her grandfather trying to recruit Wyatt as his disciple Luna was sure that any amount of investment done on Wyatt now, several times of that, could be reaped in the future.

And for some unknown reason, her Cousin seemed to be fascinated with the Boy. Is it love, just a fling? It was hard to tell. After all, it was Anna who would change men like changing clothes. But for some reason, her gut told her that Anna was serious about this boy. 

Anna had slept with her arranged fiance and made her the joke in the eyes of her friends and colleagues alike. But the fact remained that because of Anna, her arranged marriage was annulled. Knowing or unknowing Anna helped her escape a disastrous future. So she owned Anna one. Therefore as a way to pay back Anna, Luna decided to become the matchmaker between Anna and her crush. 

"..." I was not dense enough to not realize that Luna was trying to intimidate me into committing to something I did not want, a relationship. No, she is reaching for something more than a committed relationship, a marriage. It would have been better if Luna had threatened me to cancel the contract between Anna and me instead. 

'Duck with an F' why are the grandfather and granddaughter pair acting weirdly today. The grandfather wants to be my mentor, and the granddaughter wants to be my sister-in-law. What are they scheming now? Just yesterday, they were trying to convince me that they were protecting me when they actually were trying to get a free and willing slave for their family by declaring me dead to the world and erasing my presence from the face of the world. 

I wasn't afraid of their conspires but how they deployed their conspiracy. It was becoming harder for me to tell whether they were genuine or hatching something. This made it harder for me to decide how to respond to them. 

One thing I have noticed, no matter the way they used, both the grandfather and granddaughter pair were trying to hitch me to the Heatsend Royal train. Making it clear to me that they are thinking that if they could not make me a slave of the royal family, they wanted to make me a loyal subordinate of the royal family. One thing was clear the conspiracies of the two seem to be revolving around the interest of the Heatsend Royal family.

I did not have to answer Luna or Lorenzo but Anna, as she was the one who was being affected here, so I looked her in the eyes and asked, " Do you feel the same way? Do you think I should be held responsible too?" 

"No, I like you, and I will make you mine in my way. You, marrying me just because that is the best option for your problems is not what I want. I want you to marry me because I am the right one for you. 

Because you feel the same way I feel about you. 

Because you want to spend the rest of your life with me. 

Because you are madly in love with me, and the thought of living separated from me kills you.

As far as the soul contract goes, I signed the contract fully aware of what I was signing up for. So you do not have to worry about my mother or my family. Nobody would do anything that would hurt me." Anna's answer could not be more precise. Having explained where she stood, Anna turned to her Cousin and said, "Luna, I know what you are trying to do, and it is good to know that you have forgiven me for real. But bitch, stay out of my love life. Do not pressure him. What if you scare him away?" 

"Got it, loud and clear. You could say it civilly, you know?" Getting an answer from Anna herself, Luna decided to mind her own business. 

"Civil, look who is talking about being civil. I have seen how you researchers can get during the year-end university funds distributing. I have seen my share of nasty, but that shit in there. I do not have words to describe it." Anna loved her cousin, but she found her high-class, upscale act a bit annoying. Why do you have to act superior? Is it just because you are a scholar? Why can't you be yourself? 

"University funding distribution is different. It is a battlefield. What if they give all the money to the mortal alchemy and medicine department. We have no choice but to fight. You can't judge a person on that." Lorenzo came to defend his granddaughter, and he was proud that she could fight for her department's funding. That is how he raised her. 

"You would say that. You both are stitched from the same cloth. It's like a thief alibing a thief." Anna sarcastically responded. 

"..." Lorenz gave up because whatever he said would only make it worse. 

"Old man, you too back off of Wyatt. If he wants to join the Heatsend royal family, he will enter it. That's his choice, but if you scare him off, I will be your worst nightmare.." Anna warmed Lorenzo to stop with his conspiracy as she believed his stubborn pursuit of making Wyatt join the family would end up driving him away instead.
