Card Apprentice Daily Log

With her plan to subdue Field Marshal Heatsend and renew her authority over the Southern region failed, now she resorted to one of the oldest tricks in the books, playing possum to attract the vultures, then grabbing and twisting their necks when they were least expecting. This was why Wyatt expected the Southern Captial to be noisy the next few weeks. However, he found it funny that Henricks who had nothing to do with Annaʼs motherʼs trap actually fell prey to it leading him to fall prey to his trap. Wyatt thought Annaʼs motherʼs acting must be really good for someone of Henricks caliber to fall prey to it. This caused him to look forward to the upheaval in the Southern Captial. However, this would act like a double-edged sword for his plan to use the kids of the elite families of the Southern Captial to get them on his side. Those who fear the Southern Princess might just cut ties with their kids to show their loyalty to her. But those who would be dissatisfied with her would be more enthused about joining his side. However, they would not dare to openly join him but join hands with him under the table as they would fear that if they were too brazen about their stance the Southern Princess might use them as an example to warn other elite families from joining Wyattʼs side. Wyatt believed all of this should be within the Southern Princessʼs calculations when she did not hesitate to have an episode of anger in the central capital. The only variable in her plans was Henricks, Wyatt guessed even Southern Princess would not have thought that Henricks would be stupid and impulsive enough to fall prey to two traps back to back, that too in a single day. Henricks thought process was simple here. He wanted to take advantage of the nasty fight between the Field Marshal and Southern Princess to come out on top by kidnapping Clown Mask which was why he was so impulsive. He believed that with the Field Marshal fighting the Southern Princess, she might be too busy to spare enough attention to the Clown Mask. Henricks was right, the Field Marshal was indeed occupied with many other things to spare enough attention to the Clown Mask. However, Henricks had not accounted for one variable in his plan, it was none other than Wyatt. Like Wyatt said, Henricks had indeed underestimated him because of his age. How would Henricks know that with everything going on in Wyattʼs life he would make time to lay a trap for him?

If Henricks had learned anything from this incident then it was that never to cross Wyatt, this kid knew how to hold grudges. It did not take a genius to figure out why Wyatt had trapped Henricks. Though Henricks was no genius he was wise enough to know that Wyatt had trapped him for stealing the D-rank Silver Beach dungeon, trying to force him into giving them the VR universe when he visited their headquarters, and then cutting a deal with the Southern Princess behind his back. Well, Henricks did try to reach Wyatt before deciding to sell the dungeon to the Southern Princess. However, Henricks knew that Wyatt should have seen that he only contacted Wyatt because he wanted Wyatt and the Southern Princess to compete for the dungeon and gain maximum profit. Having understood how he got himself into this mess, Henricks regretted it all. He was starting to think he must be the dumbest idiot of all time to fall prey to a trap that wasnʼt even meant for him in the first place.
