It took a while for Anna to stop crying and to also let go of Corey, and even when she stopped hugging Corey, she didn't let go of his hand.

Almost like she was afraid that Corey would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Corey chuckled when he saw this because before the apocalypse, she hated holding hands with him, she said it was embarrassing to do such a thing... especially in public.

After Anna wiped away her tears, she felt weak, almost like all the strength in her had been sapped from her body after choosing to believe that everything was real.

It was like the willpower she had to ensure that she did not break or despair at the possibility of everything being false, disappeared.

She stumbled forward while holding her head, and Corey quickly caught her. He infused Dream Healing into her, and this made her condition a little bit better.

Although Dream Healing was not the best and most efficient solution and cure to her soul, it healed a little bit and made it that she didn't fall into a deep and long slumber.

"I feel like sleeping. My soul is so weak." Anna said while leaning into Corey for support.

She then looked in the direction of Rosa who was leaning on a tree with her arms folded and her eyes closed.

"By the way, I've been meaning to ask. Who's that?"

Corey looked in the direction of Rosa, and a light smile appeared on his lips.

"That's Rosa. A friend."

Anna narrowed her eyes, and then she looked at Corey with a tinge of suspicion in her eyes.

"Is she your girlfriend?"

Corey's lips twitched and he nearly coughed, but he controlled himself and chose to flick Anna's forehead.

"Ow!"

"She's not my girlfriend."

Anna looked at Corey with a slight pout while covering her forehead, and Corey chuckled while shaking his head when he saw this.

It was like he was looking at Anna when she was much younger and when she was attempting to throw a tantrum.

"I'm sick and you're hitting me. Is that how you treat a lady? Especially a sick one?"

Corey raised his brows in sheer amusement. "You? A lady? Even a farmer's daughter is more of a lady than you."

Anna's eyes opened wide in disbelief and hurt, and she pushed herself off Corey.

"How dare you compare me, Anna Zane the Great Queen, to a mere farmer's daughter? How dare you, you peasant who was lucky to be accepted into the family of the Zane's."

Corey looked at Anna with a stunned expression, not expecting her to say such words.

For her to say such a thing...

'And this is the Anna I know.'

Corey's expression eased up, and he smiled at Anna while rolling his eyes.

"You call yourself a queen but you watch anime. Which queen watches anime?"

Anna's eyes widened, and she walked up to Corey and held his shirt with a furious expression.

"Don't you dare insult anime in your life. Don't you dare."

The moment Anna said these words with an extremely cold and insane expression, Corey's instincts warned him with a seriousness he did not expect, and he felt genuine fear at Anna's words.

With a smile that was not really a smile, he gently removed Anna's hands from his cloth.

"Alright. Alright. I'll never insult anime again. It'll never happen again."

Anna looked at him with narrowed eyes, and Corey did not have the courage to look into her eyes so he looked away.

He really felt fear seeing the coldness in Anna's eyes. It was like Anna would choose to save anime over him, her brother.

'Such a thing won't happen... Right? Right?'

As Corey had this thought, Anna finally nodded with a satisfied expression.

"Good that you understand. Nobody must insult anime. Absolutely nobody." Anna's eyes flashed with a cold and ruthless light, and Corey's lips twitched.

'I know that she was obsessed with anime before the apocalypse, but it wasn't this bad. What happened?'

As Corey had this thought, Anna coughed and then she glanced at Rosa.

"Hik.' She made a startled sound when she saw Rosa looking at her with a stunned and baffled expression.

Anna's eyes went wide, and then she looked at Corey with a fierce glare.

"Brother. See what you've done!"

"Huh? What?" Corey looked at Anna with a genuinely baffled expression, and Anna became even more furious.

She approached him with furious steps. "You made me embarrass myself in front of your girlfriend! How am I going to look at her from now on?!"

"What?" Corey was completely and utterly confused, and Anna became even more furious.

She grabbed him by his shirt, making his already crumpled poor shirt to become even more crumpled and poor.

"If you had no insulted anime, I would not have reacted that way! It's all your fault!" She said with extremely fierce eyes, and Corey looked at her with a utterly lost and confused expression.

"What the hell are you even talking about? If you had controlled your anger, you wouldn't have embarrassed yourself. And like I said, she's not my girlfriend."

Anna's eyes widened, and then she tightened her grip on Corey's shirt and pushed him back and forth, shaking his head and body vigorously.

"Wow. So now you're saying I have anger issues and I'm not mentally alright? You're calling your younger sister a mad woman?"

She shook him the more, and then she pointed at Rosa who was completely stunned at what was going on.

"And what about her? Do you plan on breaking her heart? Don't you know that as the first born and eldest of the Zane family, you have to continue the lineage or else the family name would be in danger?"

"You have to procreate and continue the family name!"

"You called your sister a mad woman with anger issues. You're a cold and heartless bastard that loves breaking women's hearts. And you're an unfilial son who does not care about the family lineage."

"How bad have you gotten huh? You need to be disciplined!"

From shaking his head to the point that Corey nearly had an headache, to Anna giving him some punches and kicks, Corey began to wonder if he had maybe made a mistake in saving Anna.

'How did it come to this?'
