Noel and Anna were standing outside the town. Since they were going to fight seriously, they had to do it outside if they didn't want to destroy all the things they worked hard for.
"Are you sure about this?" Duke Lorelei asked with a serious expression.
"Yes, Sir. If you're worried about injuring us, we have our own plan. It won't hinder us or anything." Noel nodded.
"In that case, I won't hold back. I won't deal any damage that would last for a lifetime, but I might break a few of your bones in my attack. And you are also free to do the same thing if you are capable of doing that." Duke Lorelei ultimately agreed after a lot of persuasion from Noel yesterday.
"Thank you, Sir. And I hope that there won't be any grudges after this battle." Noel smiled.
"Of course." Duke Lorelei placed his left hand on his scabbard and his right hand on the sword's handle, ready to pull it out.
Anna and Noel pulled out their swords and raised their stances.
