System vs Rebirth

"Ma—what?!" Anna was completely taken aback by the sudden question. She never thought that Noel would just forget about everything they discussed prior and talk about marriage.

"I'm just teasing you." Noel chuckled while looking away.

"Teasing me?" Anna squinted her eyes, noticing that Noel was lying. After they got together, Noel seemed to have a hard time lying to her. It must be that he didn't want to have any lie between them, but it was just hard to completely change one's character. So, this looking away action became Noel's method.

She approached Noel while glaring at him as if demanding an explanation.

"I'm just teasing you, alright? Just leave it at that." Noel scratched the back of his head, albeit Anna didn't like it.

"Have you forgotten that if there is any problem, we will be dealing with it together?" Anna sighed, slightly feeling disappointed. However, she didn't pursue this matter.

But that was the exact reason why Noel felt bad. He ended up resigning to his fate and apologized, "Sorry. The marriage part was just a foolish idea. I mean, if my mother visited you when we just got engaged, what would happen if I married you?"

"Ah!" Anna finally understood Noel's thought. The answer was clear. Noel had been chasing after his parents this whole time, so now that he had gotten a clue about it, he wanted to try to catch them and finally reunite with them.

However, Noel instantly realized how rude that plan was. Just for the sake of his parents, he actually wanted to sacrifice Anna and even married her for that cause. It was the rudest thing to their commitment. That was why Noel wanted to brush it off.

Surprisingly, Anna chuckled and said, "You know what? I like it when you show me how strong you are and how perfect you can become. But when you are making mistakes like this… you know, I love you even more."

"Mhmm?!" Noel was dumbfounded as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

To Anna, Noel was a special existence that was capable of dealing with everything. But seeing him making a mistake like this somehow made him appear down to earth. She could relate to him a bit more and that was probably why she actually liked him more.

They were not perfect and might make mistakes. But the point was that they shouldn't make a mistake, but to actually solve their mistake and become better next time.

Though, Noel was tongue-tied, noticing that Anna got all the momentum in their conversation. Still, he did feel happy when she said it.

"Thanks."

Anna smiled and changed the topic or it would just become even more awkward while bringing the map to him. "In any case, we should get back to work. This is the map."

From the looks of it, there seemed to be about seven villages and one city at the edge of his territory. It would be hard to get the number of people living in his territory, but he estimated there were at least three to four thousand people living in those places.

And with the additional ten thousand people who were going to live here, they should have enough people to gather a huge amount of points over time.

"By the way, what's the condition of the territory next to us?" Anna asked.

"You want me to help the other territories?"

"Why not? I don't see a problem as long as they are not hostile."
