System vs Rebirth

'Huh?!' Noel was shocked inwardly. 'Why would your face redden? No, you should be ashamed, right? That's right, your face redden because you feel ashamed because of your unpreparedness, right?'

Noel tried his best to deny everything he had seen.

Anna's thought was completely the exact opposite of his thought.

Anna truly felt a huge contrast from Noel today. Usually, Noel would always complain or trick her, making her put up her guard the whole time. But this time, she could see the caring Noel.

Due to the fact that Noel only directed that care to other people, she never felt what it meant to be cared by Noel.

Despite his hatred, he never directed that hatred toward innocent people. That itself was already a good feat. And this time, her enemy showed his caring side like this. Even she would be taken out by surprise.

After taking one bite, Anna turned to him with a big genuine smile on her face. "Thank you, Noel."

Just like Anna, Noel hadn't prepared himself for this smile. This was the first time Anna was this happy, so he could feel the genuine emotion behind it. At the same time, Anna was a beautiful woman since she was known to be one of the most beautiful women in the kingdom. That smile of hers could melt anyone's heart.

In that instant, Noel realized that he had lost in this round.

"Tsk." Noel clicked his tongue and looked away, frustrated. His movement was a bit stiff afterwards, but Noel shifted their attention to his words. "So, are we going to buy some spices?"

"Just the salt. I can do the rest with the herbs and meat." Anna explained. "That is if you don't mind eating on top of a leaf."

"Even if it's raw, I'll still eat it." Noel shrugged.
