After a deep breath, Anna gazed at Arthur with a resolute expression.
"Then I will trust and follow your plan!" she declared.
Arthur smiled and felt a wave of relief wash over him.
Persuading Anna, who took great pride in her ancestry as a descendant of a prominent merchant family, had proven to be quite challenging.
However, it appeared that his worries were now unnecessary.
With a nod, Arthur rose from his chair, causing Anna to appear somewhat bewildered by his sudden action.
Confused by Arthur's abrupt actions, Anna inquired with a puzzled expression, "What's the matter, young Master Arthur? Shouldn't we be discussing your plans?"
Arthur chuckled, lightly flicked her forehead, and replied, "Silly girl, isn't this place unsuitable for discussing weighty matters like these?"
"Ouch!" Anna winced, holding her forehead and squinting her eyes.
"Hmph! You're just all talk!" Anna huffed, glancing away in irritation.
