"Hah… You really carried me all the way to this mountain!" Anna panted a few times. Even though she wasn't exhausted physically, she was too tired to react as Noel had been playing with her this whole time.

"It's your fault for losing to me." Noel shrugged while looking away as though he was trying to run away while he was ahead.

"Kh…" Anna gritted her teeth, wanting to berate him, but didn't know what to say. Ultimately, she let everything go for the time being and asked, "So, what do you want to know?"

"You said this mountain has a mining vein, right?"

"Yes. According to the information, the volcano has been inactive for more than a hundred years. But because the demons haven't done anything to the land, the minerals are still trapped within the soil. And more importantly, the lava in the past created a lot of gemstones."

"I see. So, the one eyeing for this mountain must be the Radiant Lord."

"Yeah. He has been gathering all kinds of gemstones and using them as his weapons, so yeah… it's really the Radiant Lord." Anna confirmed it.

Noel thought for a moment. "In our previous life, what do you know about this territory? I should have found the mine and taken advantage of it, right?"

"Previous life?" Anna widened his eyes in shock, not expecting Noel to drop a bomb all of a sudden.

"Come on. Anybody can figure it out sooner or later. I'm just refraining myself to avoid talking about it after knowing the truth from Old Ru." Noel raised one finger. "Don't forget what I said earlier."

Anna recalled that Noel was going to say something important about him. Because they had a draw, it seemed that it was better to disclose everything so that Noel would do the same.

Anna couldn't help but rub her cheek embarrassedly. It turned out Noel was bolder than she originally thought.

"Yes. You did take advantage of it."

"How did I take advantage of it? Do I sell it to the Radiant Lord or…"

"No. You didn't sell it to the Radiant Lord. I believe you used the gems to provide the funds for your territory."

"So, selling it to others… Considering the Radiant Lord's power, he would definitely use that as a bargaining chip or a favor, but other nobles would definitely bring me money." Noel looked down, falling into deep thought.

"Yes. It's just… I think that it's better to consider this properly. Our situation is different now."
