'How about you leave me alone and give me my s.p.a.ce for once,' I wanted to yell this at Ann seeing her make a scene but I did not, feeling that these words were too harsh to say to someone who has been a friend to me. 

Instead, I said, "No need to pardon my state taxes. I'm fine with reduced taxes that come with my increased privilege rank. 

If the Southern royal family is willing to help me, I plan to give away a VR-Slime card to every university student in the Southern region for free. And if possible also in the other four regions too. I hope the Southern region will help me negotiate with other regions' royal families and the central region's n.o.ble families regarding this matter. 

As for the Southern region buying my cards, 60 devil-grade ingredients for four million VR-Slime cards. Take it or leave it." 

"We will take it," Ann exclaimed immediately after listening to the boy and then added, "We will do everything in our power to help your vision to give away free VR-Slime cards to University students across the world." 

State taxes are mostly used to develop the state and for the welfare of the citizens, as a part of society I had an obligation to contribute to it. Sometimes one has to think outside of personal greed. Besides, the development of the Southern region will also help me in the long run. This was why I did not want to force the Southern royal family into pardoning my state taxes when I would be forced to give central taxes anyway. 

"Now can you let go of my hand, please?" I asked Ann but seeing the enthusiasm on her face an unconscious smile formed on my face. 

The relationship I had with the Southern Royal family was complicated. We did not share blood but we were almost family. Just like any other family, we had differences of opinion and overbearing family members. We argued and we fought but at the end of the day, we made up. Because we had to, my soul contract with Anna played this unexpected role as it stated that Anna and the Southern royal family were responsible for my safety. 

"Not unless you promise to go out on a date with me after you break through to the card master realm," Ann did not immediately let go of my hand she demanded that we go on a date after I break through to the card master realm. 

Ann finally dared to ask the boy out on a real date and she was terrified of being rejected by the boy. Now that she had the blessing of her grandma, Ann did not care about being discreet about her feelings for the boy, not that she was so far. 

"If Anna agrees to it, then I will think about it. Until then let's just be friends," I always planned to have Anna put an end to Ann's feelings for me. 

If it was some other girl I would not hesitate to be straight with her but this was Ann. She wasn't just Anna's twin sister but her origin card. This was uncharted territory for me. I had just now begun to move forward in my relationship with Anna I did not know how my rejecting Ann would affect my relationship with Anna so I wanted Anna to handle this. 

"Cough *coward*, "Agatha fake coughed and called the boy a coward, hearing him throw the ball into Anna's court and continuing to string Ann along. 

"..." I stared at Agatha but could not retort to her remark because what she said was not wrong. 

But still, it was Ann's fault to try and date me when she knew about my relationship with Anna. Why was I the only one taking the heat for this? If anything Ann should be the one being prosecuted for trying to seduce the person her sister loved. What's wrong with the women in this world? 

"..." Listening to the boy's answer, it took Ann a while to recover. She was expecting a strong rejection or a surprising yes. But not this. She never considered the boy would use Anna as a shield. This was unexpected and she did not know how to react. 

But then the boy did not outright reject her with a stone-cold 'NO.' Ann rejoiced, feeling there was still hope for her love. Her confession went better than she expected it would. The boy did not reject her, she considered that as a win in her books. 

"So, if Anna agrees you will go on a date with me," Ann knew the chances of Anna agreeing to share the boy with her were zero but she thought she could wear Anna down. After all, previously Anna did invite her to party with her but Anna loves this one, so what? So does she.

"No, I said if Anna agrees I will think about it," I corrected Ann. I believed Anna would never agree to Ann's request to go out on a date with me. 

"Cough *Player*," Agatha fake coughed again while Aria nodded her head in agreement. 

"Agatha, next time you feel like coughing, drown yourself in a barrel of cough medicine," annoyed I order Agatha to watch her cough.

"Yes, boss," Agatha agreed sincerely. 

"Wyatt, remember your words. I will hold you to it," Ann said, letting go of my hand. 

I rubbed my wrist to mask my reconstruction skill which was healing my wrist at a remarkable speed. Under heightened emotions, Ann had grabbed my hand hard causing it to almost fracture. If not for my Viltronian physique my wrist would have fractured. 

Seeing me rub my wrist, Ann misunderstood that I was in pain and apologized, "I am sorry, does it hurt a lot?" 

"No, I have a habit of rubbing my wrist for no reason," I uttered sarcastically, hearing Ann's silly question.
