"Noel, I'm sorry."

"Eh?" Noel widened his eyes in shock.

This was what Anna had been wanting to say this whole time. Whenever she had the opportunity to say this, Noel would find an excuse to leave her or shut her up. But this time, Noel was too confused to do the usual action, allowing her to finally say this one word.

'Sorry.' After Anna changed for the better, she hadn't apologized for a single time to Noel. And this apology was directed to her past action.

Anna closed her eyes and explained, "Even though when I brought the topic to my father, I realized that my father and the royal family had decided on your family's outcome, there's no denying that I asked my father to have your entire family get executed.

"At first, I thought that you should be eliminated because your family might rise again and take revenge. Even I don't understand why my father and the royal family decided to spare your life, but…

"After knowing you and observing you up close, I know that you didn't deserve any of that. Your light helped other people and will surely continue helping others…

"So, I owe you an apology." While still holding her head low, she took a deep breath and said with everything in her heart. "Noel, I'm sorry."

Noel froze. He was already aware that Anna had changed. So, he had been avoiding her to make sure that his determination to take revenge didn't falter. But to think that Anna took this opportunity to finally apologize to him, it gave complicated feelings to Noel's heart.

On the one hand, Noel thought to himself.

'If a murderer got caught and sentenced to twenty years in prison, how do people react to this man? What if the murderer has actually changed himself for the better and get prepared to turn over a new leaf? He has admitted his mistakes and wants to atone his sins for the rest of his life by becoming a good person.
