"I think… I've lost."

Noel's body froze. He didn't think that Anna would do something of this level. There were a lot of things he wanted to say, but his grandfather reminded him that it was better to follow his instinct.

If Noel followed his logic, he would think that if he agreed to this, it would mean that the territory would be barraged by attacks from their enemies. It would cause a lot of problems for the territory.

Even the royal family might change their approach when they realize that Anna and Noel had joined hands this whole time.

That was why Noel actually closed his eyes for a moment as though wondering whether he should follow his brain or his heart.

Anna had always been beside him the whole time. There was a time she was helpful, playful or even hateful. Yet, all of them were good memories.

There was one reminder from his grandfather that rang in his mind this whole time.

"Instead of using your brain to consider whether that decision is good or bad, why don't you make the decision first and use that brain to turn that decision into a good one."

In other words, whether it was a good or bad decision, it didn't really matter because he could come up with a plan to turn the situation around.

With that thought in mind, Noel had decided to trust his feelings. He gently circled his arms on Anna's back while saying, "No. You haven't lost… Let's just call it a draw."

Anna trembled in shock. "Do I really deserve this…"

"You don't become a good person. However, when people recognize you as a good person that you know that you've done something good. And that's why I can tell you this… don't think too low of yourself."

Noel's tone was serene, giving peace to her heart.

Anna made a wry smile. "I'm sorry for doing things this way. If only I could be more honest and more straightforward instead of doing this in a roundabout way…"

"It's my fault too. But don't you think this is just like us? If we're that straightforward, we would have killed each other in the past." Noel chuckled.

"That might be true…"

Anna and Noel closed their eyes, just enjoying the feeling of each other's embrace. This was probably the first time they confronted their feelings.

"I have never felt something like this before…" Anna muttered.
