The Royal Instructor was very conservative and traditional. These traits of his were why he was not popular among recent batches of royal descendants, that would be since Anna's batch give or take one or two batches seeing how Luna's father and Anna's mother still respected and relied on the Royal Instructor. However, when it came to his pursuit of knowledge he seemed to have no trouble bending the values he preached. Therefore, even though he agreed to help Anna's mother subdue Field Marshal when faced with the celestial rule domain from myths he did not hesitate to shake hands with the Field Marshal.

Listening to the Royal Instructor ask her help to meet with Wyatt, the Field Marshal sighed in relief because her son and his team were already troublesome enough but adding the Royal Instructor to the mix would spell a disaster. For Wyatt, the Field Marshal would not hesitate to fight her son and elder but she was happy she could avoid it. "How is this fair? You rebel and you are still treated like the Southern Hero, my baby daughter made a few bad choices and she became the Southern Traitor overnight and gets disowned," Luna's father complained glaring at his mother. "..." The Field Marshal did not respond. She knew her son was being unreasonable but he was hurting. If blaming her would lessen his pain she will gladly take the blame. "Team Leader, I thought you disowned your daughter?" Luna's father's teammate asked in confusion. Unable to understand why was their team leader so heartbroken over disowning his daughter when he was the one who disowned her in the first place. "I didn't, it was her, her husband, and the rest of the blood relatives who decided it despite my protest. And then the media announced it was I who disowned her following my cousin's instructions," Luna's father cleared the confusion of his teammates, and then looking eyes with his mother he asked, "Help me understand, for all my life you and father taught us no beaten it into us that we are arms of the Southern Region and Royal family protecting them is our duty so why would you go and rebel against the Royal family?" "Up until this morning, I used to believe that but things changed when he forced me to choose between the Southern Region and the Southern Royal family. That was when I realized that your grandfather asked me to be your uncle's arms because our family being the arms of the Southern Royal family would help us be the arms of the Southern Region that could protect it. However, now times have changed. The problems of the Southern Region have changed. The Southern Royal family has to learn to adapt to the change but if they stubbornly continue to force the old ways on the new Southern Region then, their days are numbered as you have seen in the Tao Eye's memories. I have no problem fighting along with the Southern Royal family till that unfortunate yet inevitable end comes but the Southern Region and its citizens will suffer. To avoid that unfortunate ending, I have decided to take the first step toward adapting to the change now it's up to the Southern Royal family, whether they will willingly follow me and adapt to the change even if it means letting go of the power in their hand or will they struggle till their inevitable end comes knocking on the door," The Field Marshal justified her actions not just to her son but the Royal Instructor and her son's teammates. "Change, is Dalton Wyatt the change that you speak of?" the Royal instructor asked the Field Marshal while his gaze did not stop admiring the Celestial Blood Rule Domain. "He is just a part of it," the Field Marshal recalling Wyatt's speech 'We are the hope of Southern Region.'

"Wait, you said us, don't tell me you want our entire family to follow you on this mid-life crisis of yours," Luna's father said in disbelief. Then, he muttered, "No wonder your beloved niece ordered to place father under house arrest." "She did what now," the Field Marshal fumed listening to her son casually say that his father her husband was put under house arrest by Anna's mother. "What did you expect? It is not news to us that she has serious trust issues ever since Gainover did a number on her," Luna's father said, he did not appear to be sympathetic about his cousin's husband leaving her. "Then why did she send you to apprehend me?" the Field Marshal asked not understanding Anna's mother's game plan. *Amen* the Royal Instructor who appeared uninterested in Field Marshal's family drama up until now suddenly cleared his throat and proceeded to clarify, "He is supposed to be my hostage. If you prove too strong for this old man and the kids then, I was supposed to use his life to force you into turning yourself in." "That b.i.t.c.h!" Luna's father cussed out of sheer rage. Then, he turned to look at his teammates and asked, "Did you guys know about this?" Seeing his teammates avoid meeting his eyes and not respond, Luna's father understood except for him everyone was aware of his cousin's true game plan. He could not believe he jumped around making a clown of himself shouting to fight his mother. First, the sorrow of disowning his daughter then, his mother's unexpected life decision, and now, being betrayed by his teammates and the organization he worked all of his life for, Luna's father felt a myriad of feelings that even he could not explain but above all he was sad to see that all of his life amounted to this moment.

Looking at his teammates with disappointment Luna's father said, "I trusted you guys with my life. Above all, I thought we were friends!" "Team leader, Her Highness said your family was planning a rebellion, and with what your daughter did we…" one of Luna's father's teammates tried to defend themselves but as he spoke he realized he had no defense as they knew their team leader has always been loyal to the Southern Region and Royal family, even now. As for the Field Marshal, there appears to be a slight disagreement in opinion and some misunderstanding but the Southern Princess's response to it was a bit over the top.
