Even without harboring any significant resentment towards Ravenna, Ansel reflected on the past and conceded that his failures were not solely due to her aloofness but also his own arrogance.
He had arrogantly believed that sheer emotion could subdue a woman who had dedicated her life to her ideals, thinking he could shatter the chains binding her and replace them with his own. He thought he had succeeded, but in the end, it was nothing more than wishful thinking.

He candidly shared his thoughts, "The events from three years ago were a result of my arrogance and one-sided desires. Looking back now, it wasn't wrong for you, Venna, to adhere to your ideals, was it?"
