"Now that everyone knows their assignment, I hope you do your best to fulfill them. If you have any doubts about them you can approach my people. They will help you or point you to someone who can help. You are dismissed for now. If there is anything else someone will contact and update you regarding it. Make sure you leave peacefully and don't cause any more trouble for the city and its citizens," Wyatt warned the crowd to behave on their way back. Then, he added, "Diana, make arrangements for JJ and his friends to clean the Sky Blossom City sewers. But make sure that the regular and the part-time workers who usually clean the sewers get their compensation as per usual. I don't want others to suffer because of these baboons." Recalling Marcy Davis's situation Wyatt made sure that his whim did not rob others of their jobs and daily salary. "Leave it to me, boss. I will make sure these kids pay for their foolishness and nobody else is wronged because of it," Dania nodded in agreement with Wyatt feeling that her boss was the most thoughtful person in the world. Contrary to other initial doubts she did not hate working under him instead was proud of it. "All right, I will take my leave now," Wyatt was a little worried by Diana's enthusiasm but turned to leave anyway preparing to find Cortney and Bloodette to complete his end of the deal with the card world's Blood Rule Stream. As soon as Wyatt left, the Royal Instructor looked at the Field Marshal who was in a heated discussion with Corey but her intent sense was following Wyatt, just in case he needed her help. Shaking his head, the Royal instructor left without bidding her goodbye. Making sure Ace was gone, JJ hurried to Diana's and greeted, "Hello, gorgeous. I don't think we have properly been introduced. I am JJ and you are?"

"Your worst nightmare," Diana sneered and then, she added, "Follow me, I will make living arrangements for you and your friends. Since you guys start tomorrow." "No, we want to go to our house and inform our parents about our well-being," JJ protested, demanding he and his friends get to visit their parents before their punishment officially commenced. "You can do that over a call, besides you do as you are told. Otherwise don't blame me for being cruel," Diana warned JJ not to act smart with her and to do as he was ordered to. "No, our parents are worried sick over this ordeal. We need to check in on them, please try to understand," JJ did not back down, he would rather be damned than clean the city sewers. JJ believed as long as he made it back to the Southern Capital city he could get his grandaunt Colleen, the Soldier Queen, to get Wyatt to back off. If she was not enough he planned to reach out to all his uncles and aunts as long as it would keep him from cleaning the city sewers. "Kid, don't force me to bring out your contract. If you do then the consequence will be too big for you to handle," Diana advised JJ to stop resisting or else she would use the clause in his slave contract to punish him accordingly for rebelling. "Hold up, let us not be hasty. All I am asking is a chance to meet my parents and inform my well-being to them. Tell you what, I will be back by tomorrow morning to clean the city sewers," JJ tried to negotiate instead of directly demanding to return to the Southern Capital for the night. "Listen, kid. You are not the only smart one here. I know what you are planning but let me warn you our boss does not give two shits about your background in the Southern Capital. If you provoke him, you will end up paying dearly for it. So, do yourself a favor and don't resist. Just pay your dues like everyone else here," Diana patiently advised JJ having heard him call the Field Marshal his grandmother. She respected the Field Marshal so she was tolerating JJ. However, her boss would not. Her boss's attitude toward the Southern Royal family and their relatives had become clear to her this afternoon. This was why she cautioned JJ that it was futile for him to try and use his background against Wyatt. It would only piss her boss off. "..." JJ gave Diana's advice a serious thought because he was already in hot water with Wyatt and believed things could not be worse but she told him they could. So, remaining silent he thought about the events so far. Especially, the one where the Field Marshal and Royal Instructor were defending Wyatt for his actions towards them. Then, he concluded what Diana warned him about, that Wyatt did not mind offending the Southern Royal family let alone their relatives, was true. So he realized his plan to escape to the Southern Capital's safety would only make things worse for him. As a result, his face turned pale thinking of his bleak future. However, JJ was not done. He was not willing to give up yet. He turned to his grandma who was in a heated discussion with Corey, and decided to give it a last try. Even if he were to be beaten by his grandmother it would be better than cleaning sewers he believed. "Don't even think about it," Aria's voice sounded in JJ's ears breaking his chain of thoughts. He turned to glare at her and asked, "What do you mean?" "You are lucky that grandma only ignored you when you called her earlier. Remember, Uncle Ransom was flogged by her in front of the entire Southern Watch for the same offense. He was her youngest son yet she was merciless to him, think what she would do to you if you tempt fate again, not to mention you are not her favorite or youngest grandchild. If you still want to try it after hearing all this then be my guest," Aria warned JJ not to test their grandma's patients otherwise he would end up paying dearly for it.
