After accomplishing all the objectives he had set in the Atracaeca Kingdom, Noel made haste toward the Zaecuria Kingdom, specifically to Luin City, where the auction would be held. 

He had to reach this city before dark, considering tomorrow was the date for the auction. And there was a chance that the auction would cause conflicts, so the date for the meeting was the night before the auction.

Fortunately, he managed to reach Luin City when the sun was about to set. Without hesitation, he directly headed to the best inn in the city, where he was supposed to meet Anna. The latter seemed to have been waiting for him on the first floor.

For normal people, she appeared to be trying to make her presence known since she was one of the guests invited by the auction house. For Noel, she was simply waiting for him. 

Once both of them sensed each other, they smiled.

"It seems that you're back." Anna hurriedly came to him. 

"Yeah. Sorry for waiting."
