Royal Palace.

Bang!

The door was slammed open, startling a lot of people inside.

"We've got big news!" The guard rushed inside. His expression was in complete shock, and his breath was hoarse. It was clear that he couldn't believe what he had just heard. Before anyone could say anything, he declared out loud, "We've gotten the news from the north that… Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze are now officially engaged!"

Instead of the throne room, this one was a meeting room, usually used to hold an important meeting that not a lot of people would know.

Inside the room sat down a few people, such as the king, Josephine, and other people from the king's faction.

"!!!" All of them couldn't help but widen their eyes in shock as though they didn't believe what they had just heard.

"What did you say?!" The king asked, confirming the news.

"We've received the words from our spy. It appears that Noel Ardagan and Anna Stargaze are now officially engaged. They've announced it together in front of the people in that city." The guard repeated.

"Damn!" Josephine slammed the table. As Anna's teacher, she was the first to understand the situation. She noticed that Anna had actually broken the brainwashing and hidden it from everyone else, including her. "Since when…"

Josephine's reaction was enough for the quick-witted king to reach the same conclusion. "We've been fooled. Anna Stargaze was never on the same side… No, it should actually explain everything."

The king looked down for a moment, recounting every news regarding Noel and Anna. "Is it from the very start? Noel and Anna have been together since the start. That's the reason why Anna Stargaze enlisted in the Demon Banner Army.

"When the news about her killing Noel Ardagan spread and his corpse was never found, I should have realized that she had hidden the truth. Noel Ardagan never died and used that opportunity to not only hide his identity but also make us trust Anna.

"The Water Lord and Stone Lord supporting him shouldn't be weird, considering they met him when he used his fake identity to travel together with the Demon Relief Squad.

"After that, the rune was spread, and a lot of things happened… until eventually Anna Stargaze became an Arbiter."

The people realized the severity of this matter after that explanation. Their faces became pale as a few of them raised their voices.

"Then, does that mean the Ardagan Family and the Stargaze Family have planned all this from the start?"
