Aurculean, the physique of the famous Patriarch Dan Malvin. Alone, without the main Malvin family bloodline, it was an incomplete or quirky physique. However, the Aurculean physique combined with the Malvin family bloodline gave the wielder unstoppable momentum and strength. Making their achievements in the Southern Watch no less than those with the Unparalleled bloodline coursing through their body. As a result, the sycophant ministers deemed them a threat to the Ruler and the Royal family.

Every generation in the main Malvin family, there would be at least one descendant who awakened this physique sometimes there were more. In the previous generation, it was Aurelia's mother and her three brothers. In the current generation, it was just Aurelia and her elder brother. However, Aurelia had inherited the Aurculean physique but not the Malvin Family's bloodline. Making her the weakest and most unremarkable of all the wielders of Aurculean physique in history.

Aurelia's case was special, it made one wonder, how she could awaken the Aurculean physique but not the main Malvin family bloodline as bloodlines were to be inherited by one's descendants without exception but not the physiques. Until Aurelia became a card apprentice and awakened Aurculean physique, the Border City people thought she might not be a descendant of the Malvin family but was adopted as she did not have their bloodline.

Though born as the princess of the Border City, Aurelia was never treated as one. Even her elder brother did not acknowledge her until she awakened the Aurculean physique. Regardless, the present did not change the past. Yet thanks to her mother's teachings, Aurelia was just like the pure and unstoppable river that moved forward without looking behind not letting anything pollute her purity.

"Just like the river," Wyatt uttered, listening to Aurelia say that she did not like waiting, so she did not wait for the right time or place.

"You flatter me, boss," Aurelia said shyly, scratching the back of her head. However, Aurelia's shone learning that her boss remembered. It warmed her heart to learn this, she felt that her trip to the Sky Blossom City going against her mother's will was worth it.

Why would the princess of the Border City leave the comfort of her castle and come all the way to a 3rd-tier city? She admired the image of Wyatt that her mother had learned through her background check into the boy dubbed as the 'Hope of the South' by the Southern Royal family.

Aurelia's favorite part of that image was that a Card Master had not only managed to defeat a devil that killed two dozen elite demigods but was willing to sacrifice himself to protect the world by incubating the plague egg that could wipe out all the card apprentice on the card world within himself. The best part of it was he survived. Nobody knows how but he did the impossible.

Unlike the rest of the Southerners who were only aware of Wyatt as a talented card creationist who gave the world silver milk powder, the VR-Universe, and the Soul energy digestion skill cards, Aurelia knew the other lesser-known side of him, which allowed her to gather the courage to break the unspoken tradition of the main Malvin family, instead of joining the Southern Watch as a grunt and take post at the Way Beyond to climb to the General or above rank, she became a thug in the Bright Lions.

*Ring-ring!*

Just as Wyatt prepared to start fixing Aurelia's physique, the Field Marshal's grimoire rang out loud notifying that she was receiving a call. Causing Wyatt to frown, he could not believe she was using such childish means to gain his attention. After all, grimoire notification sounded in one's mind and not out aloud unless the Card apprentice wanted it to.

"It's your mother," the Field Marshal said, looking at Aurelia who was looking at Wyatt with metaphorical stars visible in her eyes. She shook her head thinking, 'Another one down. Anna has a challenging love life ahead of her.'

"My mom?!" Aurelia exclaimed awakening from her stupor.

"It seems like she is calling to check on you, after seeing the promotional video," the Field Marshal speculated why her favorite subordinate who had never contacted her after she was discharged suddenly remembered her.

"Promotional video, big surprise you guys are quick when it comes to this stuff," Wyatt remarked ordering his super brain card to search all the promotional material related to the 'Hope of the South.' Though he planned to use this opportunity to unofficially declare the Southern region as his territory to the world he still needed to keep the narrative Anna's mother was spreading in check.

"Senior, aren't you going to answer the call?" Aurelia asked seeing the Field Marshal was not answering her mother's call.

"Do you know how long it has been since she last talked to me?" the Field Marshal asked Aurelia, it seems she was dissatisfied with her favorite subordinate.

"I don't. I don't know who you are senior," Aurelia hit back at the Field Marshal's pettiness with honesty.

"Well, you are about to," the Field Marshal said, answering the call and turning on the loudspeaker.

"Long time no see, Field Marshal Heatsend," An enthusiastic voice similar to Aurelia's sounded from the other end of the call.

"..." Aurelia's mouth hung open listening to her mother, piecing her exploded mind together, she hurried prostrated in front of the Field Marshal. Causing Wyatt to shake his head. However, he did not bother to interrupt Aurelia or the Field Marshal. This call was important for him to gain insight into Aurelia's mother.After all, he wanted her.

"I see you haven't lost your sense of humor, I thought you changed becoming the City lord of the Border City," the Field Marshal remarked but almost laughed seeing Aurelia's action.

"I am not calling you as the Border City lord but as your Lt. General and a mother," Aurelia's mother replied with her tone turning serious.
