System vs Rebirth

"Ugh." Noel gradually opened his eyes. His head was hurt and his body was exhausted. Judging from the amount of light piercing through the curtain as well as the temperature of the room, he was sure that it was already midday.

He had never woken up this late, so his body reacted instinctively, trying to lift him up from the bed.

Suddenly, he found something weighing on his left side.

"!!!" Noel turned around and saw the naked Anna hugging him tight.

"Mhmmm?" She let out a groan, waking up because of the movement.

Seeing her made him remember what happened last night. He couldn't help but mutter inwardly, 'Ah. Right… last night…'

As soon as they reached the room, Anna surprisingly locked the door and even blocked the curtain.

"I guess you're pretty tired too. Let's sleep." Noel nodded, ignoring her actions.

However, right when he had just finished taking off his tuxedo and unbuttoned the top part of his shirt, Anna suddenly pushed him down.

"What?" Noel was taken aback and fell on the bed. He looked at Anna with a dumbfounded face as she sat down on top of him as if she were trying to restrain him. "Anna? What's going on?"

Anna didn't answer him immediately. She took a close look at Noel's face as if she were unsure whether to say it or not.

"What's wrong?" Noel was concerned. This was the best day of their lives, so he didn't want her to feel bad about something.

"I know that you're respecting me by not touching me."

Noel raised his eyebrows as if he had gotten the gist of the discussion. "That's because…"

Before he finished, Anna continued, "I know. It's because you don't want me to be pregnant and lose a few months of my life, not being able to do anything but focus on the baby, right? I understand and am thankful for your consideration. It's just…"

Anna bit her lips before saying, "You're taking it too extreme. Just like how you are banning yourself from alcohol. With your power, you can actually burn the alcohol content and enjoy the drink, right?"

The answer was obvious. With his current skill, it was an easy task and Noel would never be drunk. He abstained from alcohol because he didn't want to make a decision he would regret. But Anna was trying to say otherwise.

"This is the same. I don't have a lot of compelling arguments for this and I have been waiting for our wedding before saying this. But I wish you would make me completely yours…"

Noel wanted to open his mouth, but Anna stopped him by placing a finger on his lips. She opened the drawer next to the bed and took out several things.

"That's…" Noel looked surprised.
