Canna did not immediately accept Purple Diamond’s invitation.

The words that the other party blurted out were too shocking; betraying the kingdom sounded very unreliable. Even Canna, who generally stayed out of worldly affairs, found it unfeasible.
Moreover, no matter what, she was still a Card Magical Girl with a duty to fulfill. Just by sincerely going to the Material Realm and killing a few more high-ranked Remnant Beasts or fighting the rebels in the interrealm to earn some merits, theoretically, there was still a possibility of retaining her identity. Although this possibility was not great, it was enough for her to refuse to join the other party’s madness.
If she agreed to Purple Diamond and chose to betray the kingdom, even if it was with a Gemstone Scepter, the outcome was likely to be a slim chance of survival. Whether it be the Garden, the Royal Court, or the other four Gemstone Scepters, none could allow a traitor to exist within the kingdom; the consequences would be much more serious than being forced to retire.
Canna was quite cautious with her life, for she had not yet completed her pursuit of martial might; she didn’t want to gamble her life.
But Canna was also very determined; if she retired now and lost her magic power, it was likely she would never be able to perfect her martial ways.
Purple Diamond saw her conflict and hesitation, so she said, "If your reason cannot make a decision for you, then let’s have a fight. I will not use the power of the Gemstone Scepter, only the abilities of a magical girl. If you win, I will assist with your research unconditionally; if I win, you will come with me."
"Boss, do you really think I stand a chance?" Canna felt the other was joking.
"If your ’martial arts’ can’t even defeat me without using powers, then continuing to stay in the kingdom would be a waste of time. Why not join me and explore new possibilities?"
Purple Diamond offered her a gentle smile: "Don’t you want to try, to see how far your martial arts can go against me, the ’peak Magical Girl’ as your opponent?"
Canna was persuaded by her.
She accepted the terms, and the two engaged in a private duel.
Purple Diamond kept her promise, not using her power. But she did not completely keep her promise because she used a kind of magic power that did not belong to the "traditional" Magical Girl power—some Remnant Beast’s magic power.
It was this Remnant Beast’s magic power that became the final scale-tipper in the balance of victory, allowing her to defeat Canna, who had given her all.
However, Purple Diamond did not directly coerce Canna into joining her afterward; instead, she took her to visit some people.
They were Magical Girls, like Canna herself, who faced the risk of being forced into retirement.
This group of Magical Girls either lacked combat ability or were maimed and disabled in combat, most of them incapable of performing difficult combat missions and without any particular research talents—just ordinary people.
In the kingdom, the number of such Magical Girls was not high, but not low, either.
Some of them did not want to give up the eternal youth of a Magical Girl, some did not want to give up the power of their magic, but there were also many who simply wanted to continue being Magical Girls.
Every Magical Girl, at least at the time they were chosen, had a pure and kind heart, and despite the wear and tear over time, many still maintained their original aspirations.
Perhaps there was a little selfishness involved, but all they genuinely wanted was to continue being Magical Girls and contribute their strength to the world.
They were fearful of the notion of "betraying the kingdom," yet willing to take risks for their beliefs.
After that, Canna became Kite.
Following Purple Diamond, she participated in planning and executing a large-scale defection, fleeing the kingdom with Magical Girls who were either disabled or lacking in combat power.

She witnessed Purple Diamond, having left the kingdom, change her name to White Wolf, and she gathered all the escaped Magical Girls together, self-proclaimed "Claw Scar," claiming she would build a home for everyone.
By merging the magic power of Remnant Beasts and years of secluded cultivation, her research into "Qi" and "Momentum" advanced further, making her a foremost cadre within Claw Scar.
Everything seemed to go as White Wolf promised. Even using the power of Remnant Beasts, Claw Scar still maintained a certain code of conduct, not degrading into those in Black Ash Dawn who wore human skin. Moreover, since they planned to establish a "home," Claw Scar naturally welcomed more defectors from the kingdom.
Those facing the same crisis of forced retirement, as well as those simply dissatisfied with the kingdom’s system, could become a member of Claw Scar as long as they shared similar interests.
Claw Scar thus gradually grew stronger in both the Material Realm and the interrealm, with more and more Magical Girls joining its ranks. At its peak, it even had as many as hundreds of members.
Change began at that time.
With the increase in numbers, different voices started to emerge within Claw Scar, initially perhaps just noise, but at some point, this noise overshadowed the original tune, becoming Claw Scar’s new propaganda.
—"Break the kingdom’s monopoly, liberate more Magical Girls."
At some unknown point, the Magical Girls who risked their lives to escape the kingdom to build a new home became the minority, their views no longer mattered. The later Magical Girls, with less reverence and more resentment towards the kingdom, started to confront the kingdom directly.
