Wyatt had his plans and reasons to reveal Chaos Dwarf Ezra and their backstory, he made up about how they met and forged an alliance, to the Royal Instructor and rest but being interrupted by the Field Marshal he was dissatisfied with her but understood where she was coming from. The Royal Instructor might not be as open-minded as her and Anna's mother about Wyatt allying with a demon.
In hindsight, revealing that he had an alliance with a demon to the Royal Instructor right now might not help Wyatt's case about his criminal rehabilitation and reintegration program. On the contrary, it might even give him the idea that Wyatt's alliance with the demon was the reason why he was willing to give the devil/demon worshippers a second chance. If that were to happen then Wyatt's efforts so far to change the minds of the Royal Instructor and other demigods about his program would be a waste.
Wyatt had forgotten that he was dealing with an old gentleman here. Fortunately, Field Marshal's worries had saved him from hammering his own fingers. When persuading someone like Royal Instructor, Wyatt had to consider that there was a limit to how much he could push them out of their comfort zone. They were like old processors that could only process a small amount of data at a time. Therefore, Wyatt decided that he should now focus on getting the Royal Instructor to be willing to give his program a try.
As for Wyatt's plans for the Dark Realm, he will have to think of other ways to let Belphegor know of Chaos Dwarf Ezra allying with Card Apprentice Dalton Wyatt. He looked forward to seeing the look on Belphegor's face when he learned of his two enemies, Chaos Dwarf Ezra and Card Apprentice Dalton Wyatt, allying. Now that would be a sight worth watching. Wyatt wondered if he could reveal it to Belphegor in such a way that Cuth Diya could record Belphegor's face for him.
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness. I will stick to the topic and try not to go off track again," Wyatt thanked the Field Marshal for stopping him from revealing his source which surprised the Field Marshal as she thought Wyatt would get angry with her and reveal his source to the Royal instructor anyway.
Field Marshal Heatsend thought that Wyatt would continue to underestimate how much the card apprentices hated devils/demons and their worshippers. According to her, only someone so ignorant would be bold enough to preach about criminal rehabilitation and reintegration to the card apprentices regardless of whether their hearts were in the right place.
"If you were a diviner, it would have explained a lot," Luna's father sighed, and his team nodded along.
They believed Wyatt being a diviner would explain a lot about how he was able to achieve so much and understood the world at such a profound level at a small age. Ransom thought his father, his siblings, and his daughter were all geniuses but compared to Wyatt they all fell short by a huge margin. But if Wyatt were a diviner it would have been a different story.
Wyatt continued to ignore Ransom while noticing that the Royal Instructor was back to contemplating. Though old people were stubborn, compared to the young they cared more about their legacy. Unlike the other demigods, he was seriously giving Wyatt's words a thought.
The Royal Instructor along with his legacy carried the burden of his martyred friends' legacy. He could compromise with his legacy but his consciousness did not allow him to compromise when it came to his martyred friends' legacy. After Wyatt pointed it out, the Royal Instructor knew that his martyred legacy was a nothing but cycle of demon invasion until everything was lost. Knowing this he could not rest in peace. Even if it went against everything he believed in, Royal Instructor forced himself to give Wyatt's solution a fair shot in his mind as he could not think of anything that would break this cycle which would only end with the Card World being destroyed by the Dark Realm.
Seeing that the Royal Instructor on longer hated his program but was on the fence about it, Wyatt decided to strike, "Royal Instructor, the current society has reached its limit. It's time for us to help it progress into a better version of itself. A version that not only you and I are proud of but is scary for the dark races. Right now, your decision will not only give us a chance to break the vicious cycle but also make the dark races fear the card apprentices' unwavering conviction to protect their kind and their world. I dare not claim that my program will guarantee such results but without giving it a try we will never know for sure. So, Royal Instructor what will it be?"
With Wyatt's words and the Royal Instructor's stern silence, the others who got distracted from the topic were once again contemplating the problems pointed out by Wyatt. However, some did not agree with Wyatt and wondered if the current society had truly reached its limit.
Thinking back to it, with back-to-back demon invasions, demon worshipers' betrayal, and monster mayhem, this world hasn't seen a long peace. However, these past few decades have been peaceful and society was starting to showcase new challenges like never before. Their old tradition and convection were good for the period of unrest and war but now in the period of peace and development, it was failing them.
Having thought so far, they pondered, 'Heck, is this the reason why we are behind compared to the rest of the regions? Don't tell me they are adapting to the period of peace better than us. How come when they are following the same traditions and values as us? But, it must be true considering that the savages from the north are now on par with us and the hypocrites from the west are ahead of us.'
Not only did they end up concluding Wyatt might be on to something but also attributed all the Southern region's failures to it. That did not make any sense except for the fact that they were just looking for an excuse to shift blame. It was all good as long as they weren't to be blamed for their own failures.
