"So, the Supreme Devil Organizations have fully retreated from this area." Noel furrowed his eyebrows while looking at the map next to the fire.

Layla, Aurelia, and Grandell accompanied him as they had to discuss their next destination.

"Looking at the situation, yes. Why don't we end the expedition here?" Layla asked.

"That's possible, but I have to make sure about it first. Besides, there are times where I have to check every single village in order to utilize them in the future." Noel rejected the idea of going home even though they had done enough.

"I have gone to a lot of cities and villages. From my perspective, building a village isn't that hard. In fact, you can just give the villagers the tools and food. They should be able to create some buildings for their own survival."

"Yeah. But that's only going to give them a normal village. I have some other uses, so we have to check them."

It seemed that Noel didn't plan to tell Layla about their uses. But it was clear that he was building something nasty to fortify his territory.

"If that's the case, should we help? Well, we're going to build a headquarters and a branch here, so it doesn't hurt to go around helping those villages, right?" Layla turned to Aurelia.

"Indeed. Though, I have to return to my group first after this to settle everything down. I will definitely return within four days.'

"How about returning now? So, by the time you finish, we're about to go to the main city?"

"But…" Aurelia looked unsure. Noel was gravely injured, the knights might have recovered, but they were not strong enough. She was afraid that the previous situation would happen and she had been instructed to protect the Saintess.

"We're done here. And it's not like they're going to attack us anymore. So, I think we will be fine without you."

Aurelia fell silent for a moment before turning around as she felt a presence coming toward them. "Who are you?"

Noel didn't have a change of expression, fully aware of the person who would be coming to this place. "She is my fiancee. You don't have to worry about it."

"Fiancee?" Aurelia squinted her eyes as Anna's figure appeared from the darkness. Of course, she knew Anna. Unlike Aurelia who had to resort to going to the temple in order to avoid political marriage, Anna had a supportive father and the talent to push off that matter.

More importantly, Anna's name had resounded throughout the kingdom as she became the fiancee of Noel Ardagan.

"See? With her, everything should be fine." Layla smiled, reminding Aurelia about the previous discussion.

Aurelia contemplated. On the one hand, she didn't know Anna's state. On the other hand, Anna was an Arbiter and her strength was extremely powerful. She had the True Spirit Body to boot.

After a few minutes, Aurelia finally nodded her head. "I understand. In that case, I will return to my group and head back immediately."
