If Rhode knew what Anne thought, then he would definitely have regretted flirting with her last night and should have just directly slapped her because it would be more effective. Luckily, he didn't know what was Anne thinking about because after he woke up, she acted the same as her usual self, giggling around. There didn't seem to be anything different. That's why Rhode also no longer cared about that problem; he was more worried about the next problem. Rhode and Anne immediately left the inn when the sun rose to avoid any unwanted attention and walked toward the Black Pine Ruins.
The ancient Black Pine Ruins was located in the depths of Black Pine Forest. Previously, it was a huge palace, but after some time had passed, most of it became buried underground, so it was remote and dangerous. Normal people wouldn't go there, although logically, there was no problem for Rhode to conquer this place by himself.
It was as if there were no one who came before him.
