System vs Rebirth

"So, where are we going now?" Anna asked. "Also, I have to tell you about Fire Bird Nest and the Body Strengthening Liquid."

"You can say it after we're done with this." Noel shook his head.

"Are you sure?" Anna was confused, feeling Noel had changed a bit.

"Yeah." Noel nodded with a serious expression. "I'll deliver the promise first and you're going to pay me after that."

Anna felt something weird with Noel. Although he was using the business term between them, he seemed to have changed a bit. This time for sure, Noel's hatred had diminished for a bit.

Still, there was no way for her to know whether Noel just faked it or not like the whole time they were together.

"Anyway, let's go."

"Where?"

"My family mansion."

"Your family mansion? Wait a minute. It's true that your family territory is in the middle of our return trip, but your family mansion is guarded by the royal family."

"Are you going or not?" Noel didn't want to argue with her, so he simply asked with a strict tone, demanding an answer between 'yes' and 'no'.

"Yes, definitely." Anna sighed. She had been thinking about Noel after leaving the cave, wondering what he was talking about with the Sword Saint. The Sword Saint seemed to be able to know about Noel's secrets with his power. So, she believed that the Sword Saint was also aware of her reincarnation. It was proven when he actually knew she wished to get his blade.
