Chapter 123 Misunderstanding

"Well, it seems that I've mistaken you with someone else." Anna smiled, apologizing to him. "You looked so much like him, you know. In his brain, there is only training, training, and training.

"I do admit that he's smarter than me, but I know him more than himself. I believe he is the first person to have a spirit with two different elements, Ice and Fire.

"He is so handful. Seriously! I have many complaints about him." Anna harrumphed.

Each of her statement felt like a stab in his heart. But he didn't know how Anna could know that he had Ice and Fire Elements, considering he only utilized this element when she wasn't with him.

'Huh? There is something wrong. How in the world Anna knows something like this? Even the commander doesn't know it. Is it her family? But if it's her family, this situation will become extremely dangerous.

'They might know that I have two spirits in my body. Am I being targeted by them?' Noel had so many questions in his mind. After all, there shouldn't be anyone to know about these two spirits.

It would be troublesome if he didn't know anything about it, so he decided to pry for the information. "I don't know about this friend of yours, but it seems that he is a splendid person."

"Of course." Anna smiled, answering that question from the bottom of his heart. "I may have the strength, but my blade always kills people. But he is different His sword is sharp, sharper than mine. Yet, he uses it to protect the people. All I can do is to ruin things, but he's building it. I'm envious of him."

Noel was stunned because this was the first time he heard this kind of opinion from Anna. It even gave him a wild thought.

'Huh? She has this high opinion on me? But she was supposed to be the one to order the execution of my parents. Or was it just a fabrication? She was the one who actually wanted to protect me from her parents who actually wanted to wipe Ardagan's bloodline out?

'Because of her, I could actually live? Is that the reason why she came to the Demon Banner Army? But then again, she's bullying me the whole time Though I can say that she's very cooperative at the same time.

'What if Let's say what if what if her family sent a spy to watch over us? The only reason she bullied me because she needed to keep a facade to make them think she wanted me dead, but her original intention was to protect me from her family?'

Noel had the first wildest thought in his mind because it could change his perspective of Anna.

She thought Anna was fabricated as the murder of his family when the real culprit was the marquis himself.

And Anna dropped another bomb that reinforced his misunderstanding.

"Still, that guy is so infuriating. Does he not know that I learned how to cook because of him? Does he know that I'm this strong because of him?" Anna let out a long sigh.

'Huh? She learned how to cook because of me? She got stronger because of me?' Noel was surprised to know it. Never in his wildest dream that he would think Anna learned things because of him.

However, Anna didn't lie either. If not for the threat called Noel Ardagan in her previous life, she wouldn't be able to get stronger fast. After all, if she couldn't keep up with Noel's strength, she would be killed by him.

If not for him dropping her to the middle of nowhere, she wouldn't have learned how to cook. That was why the reasons she became like this was Noel, albeit in his previous life.

"It seems that the guy doesn't appreciate you. You are beautiful and seem to be able to do everything," Noel replied, trying to see what she was planning to brag again.

"Right?" Anna pouted, refusing to give more information. Hence, Noel tried to pry for more. "It seems you like him, miss."

"I like him."

"!!!" Noel was shocked. His mind became crazy. However, it seemed that he could escape from this situation and when he saw the junction not far from them.

"I see. He's fortunate to have you. But I need to take the turn. Are you going there too, Miss?" Noel asked since if it was a statement, it would look like he knew where she was planning to go.

Anna thought for a moment. If she continued to pester him, Noel would be p.i.s.sed. And she also had said a lot of things too, enough to occupy Noel's mind for a while.

She replied with a smile. "No, I need to go straight."

"In that case, this will be where we go separate ways. It's a pleasure to know a beautiful lady like you. I hope that your relations.h.i.+p can work out." Noel smiled as he took the turn simply because he wanted to wait for a while until Anna disappeared before going back to the fort.

When he was already far enough, Noel fell on his b.u.t.t while clutching his head. He thought, 'What the heck? Did she seriously know that I'm Noel? But she even knows that I have Heisk and Ardagan It seems she doesn't confuse me with someone else.

'But then again, what does she mean by she likes me? Does she say that just to confuse me? Or is her family the culprit this whole time and she's just protecting me? I don't understand.

'No, she must have seen through my disguise and said all that to confuse me. However, I can't make another disguise since she will recognize this masquerade even if I change my hair and eye color. Does the commander have another item that can be used to disguise my appearance?

'Still, which one is the actual Anna?' Noel scratched his head, frustrated because he couldn't see which one was the truth.

Meanwhile, Anna was smiling from ear to ear as she finally managed to say all that.

,m Of course, she didn't lie earlier. Noel was truly the cause of her action, but in her previous life.

At the same time, Anna threw the last statement partially.

"Well, I do like him and respect him because I've seen all the things he did. Strong determination, unyielding tenacity, and the kindness to help people How can someone not like him as a human being?" Anna smiled. "I aspire to be like him."
