"I was right indeed; you are smart enough."
Anna's previously tense face suddenly revealed a smile. "I did deceive Elsa, telling her my heart was on the verge of collapse, that I could die suddenly at any moment. She has been trying to heal me with spring water, but long before that, I acquired an ability from a Spellcaster that prevented my injury from healing, pretending the spring water was ineffective on me. Ha, you should have seen how frantic she was; she believed me wholeheartedly, let down all her defenses, letting me approach her and, bit by bit, drain her life away."
"Don't you have any regrets?"
Anna's face showed no emotion as she said indifferently, "What is there to regret? My real sister died when I was seven years old. What has been moving around all these years is nothing more than a monster that took her existence, wearing her skin. She owes me, and she will never be able to repay it all."
