This is indeed their story.

From their first acquaintance, trust, attachment, to separation – this is their story.

The girl covered her mouth, cried and red eyes, flipping through one comic after another left by girls.

Noah's unknown, self-despised background, Frank's tragic family destroyed by the war, Avis's struggle to roll in the world since he was a child, and her, Ann, a sixteen-year-old slave girl who was sold to the Eastern Continent, and eventually became the overlord of Shanghai.

Page after page.

Except for the secrets of this world that she hides in her heart, the characters' every move, the laughter and playfulness, are all real—as if someone has drawn all their stories.

It's like, she's Ann, and Ann is her.

She also finally knows the secrets of this world.

For example, the statue of the Holy Maiden is actually Noah's mother, the woman whom Lambert I fell in love with at first sight after the most famous commoner queen, but she had long hated the emperor who had recovered the Eastern Continent and provoked war, so she agreed to his marriage proposal, just to one day take his life with her own hands to avenge her people.

Another example is the notorious pirate Heinrich, a man who fought with the Emperor in the north and south, he did not understand the young Noah's rejection and disgust of war, coupled with his hatred of Queen Wendy, which made him both expectant and disappointed in Noah, who refused to be Lambert II.

He could have kidnapped the young Noah or killed him to control the regime, but he didn't, but he abandoned his status as a prince, stripped himself of his military qualifications, and became a wanton killing pirate.

Another example - Noah.

Noah, who is always gentle and kind.

No one knew that every day of his life was torment and pain, and no one knew that what he saw every day was for him struggles and nightmares—these nightmares about war.

He always felt that he was a sinner in this world, and he wanted to atone for his father and his mother, even if he died, he had to save those former emperors and ministers who had nothing to do with him.

Yes, Hathaway was looking for him, on behalf of her family, on behalf of the former emperor's close ministers came to him. It is hoped that he will be able to regain his rightful position as Lambert II, and that they will be able to regain their power to compete with those people, without having to be constantly subject to their threats.

But Noah would rather die to give them another chance to stay in this world.

It's obviously some cold-blooded aristocrats who play with power.

But he actually lied to her for the first time for them, just because he wanted to die for these sanctimonious guys!

The girl sobbed, despair and sadness slid down her cheeks and onto the page.

The boy in the comics stood calmly under Duke Hill's butcher's knife, and the harsh sunlight hit his face, but he smiled as gently as an angel.

Noah - what did he think of himself!

She sobbed and looked up at the same dazzling white sun, she covered her eyes in pain, and the bright light passed through the gap in her hand, blurring into a white light and shadow, making her feel as if she had returned to the first meeting of that day.

……

The girl dug into the dirt with her hands without saying a word, her fingers had already been bloodied by sharp stones, but she still dug religiously, and then buried the pile of comics in it preciously, as if Noah had been buried here.

The girl who came here inexplicably and left uncontrollably said that she was wrong, she couldn't save Noah.

She couldn't save Noah.

She has not forgotten that she was once an author, so she knows that no matter what she tries to save, Noah's character experience will already die for "atonement".

She can't change it, she can't change this established fate!

Dirty hands rubbed the corners of her eyes rudely, tears streaming down her face, making her face comical and ridiculous, and she slowly got up and walked firmly in the direction of the token.

- This will be the last scene of the comic.

The penultimate scene of the manga is the scene where Noah is killed in public by Duke Hill. That's why the girl told her with uncertainty and hope that as long as she didn't reach the last scene, she might have a chance to save Noah.

How is this possible? - The two scenes actually happened on the same day, how could she rush back to the Western Continent to save Noah in one day?

Moreover, the most unchangeable thing is that after she gets the token of the South China Sea in the last scene, there will be a separate paragraph, as "Determined to become the sea overlord!" The ending of the comic -

"After Noah's death, Ann and everyone, who had become the sea overlord of the South China Sea, refused to believe it, and after some investigation, they finally knew the truth, and they grew up quickly and became stronger, they met more like-minded partners, they destroyed the Duke of Hill who slaughtered Noah, and also fought with Brent who destroyed the alliance and Heinrich, the overlord of the Eastern Continent, and they firmly and unwaveringly walked towards the dream of the sea overlord!"

Oh, who will tell her, a stereotyped story, a character who drives the plot, how can she save it?

She wanted to laugh, but her eyes were full of despair.

……

"Noah Lambert, his surname dooms him to sin."

"He has made our people live in the abyss of bitter war, let the people of the four continents live in poverty, war, hunger, disease, and let the pirates of the whole world run rampant, he is the original sin!"

"Now, use his life to honor our loved ones!"

He couldn't hear Earl Hill's dignified speech and the faint cheers of the crowd in the audience.

He raised his head, squinted slightly, and looked at the horizon, remembering the girl he had rescued on the beach that afternoon.

She is his salvation.

When he was alone in the face of the devastation of the world after the war, she could not see a trace of the haze of war and the world in her eyes.

She would care about him with a blank face, but she would care about him so awkwardly, she would ignore him for days just because he didn't eat well, and she would look at him with such dependence and trust in her eyes, as if he were her whole world.

He had never felt like that—so warm and comfortable, without any responsibility or guilt.

He seems to be just him, Noah, a knight who can rely on a young girl who pursues her dreams.

One, the girl he likes, the person he likes.

It's that simple.

It turned out that at some point, as a [sinner], he also harvested these preciousness that he never dared to imagine.

The knife was raised, and the reflected sunlight was dazzling, but he smiled softly.

Those curved blue eyes were like the purest sea in the sea.
