"Mhmm…" Noel let out a soft groan as he gradually opened his eyes. The place was dimly lit but strangely warm.
"Kh." Noel felt his body was a bit too stiff. 'Is this the side effect of merging with Ardagan? I have a hard time moving my body. Does my body turn into a sword or something?'
Noel lifted up his head, trying to see the rest of his body.
However, he soon found out the answer to why his body was like this. Anna was sleeping on top of him. They were both naked and covered with a big blanket on top so that they could warm each other up.
Noel couldn't help but smile, knowing that Anna was worried about him. In addition, it didn't seem that a day had passed. The sky had turned orange, but they should still have an hour before it was fully set.
They were actually inside a cave and there was a fire pit next to them. It seemed that Anna had moved them to a different spot after saving him.
