The conversation continued for quite some time.
Noah told Akari everything he knew about Ophelia. Or at least, everything he thought she wanted to hear.
He spoke about Ophelia's achievements at the academy, her exceptional talent, her strength, and the respect she had earned from others.
Of course he conveniently left out every argument they had ever had. In fact, he found himself exaggerating some of her better qualities.
'I seriously can't believe I'm praising her this much... If Ophelia ever hears this, she'll probably become even more arrogant.'
Still seeing the happiness gradually return to Akari's face, Noah felt it was worth it. He was a man after all. If a beautiful milf- no, a beautiful lady like Akari could smile because of him then he was happy.
Eventually, the conversation shifted.
He carefully brought up Lionel Thornveil.
Or rather. "The former Duke Thornveil," as Noah privately preferred to think of him.
