Trusting Bernkastel's words was the last thing Ange would ever do by now - she wasn't stupid enough to fall for the same thing twice. But at the same time.. they had no choice. If she wouldn't agree to this deal, Bernkastel would surely just have them killed, and even if they'd try to fight back against her and all these goats they would be overwhelmed after a while. Then again, agreeing to it meant that she would drag Amakusa into all of this too, even though there might be the chance of a happy ending - even if it was very, very small considering Bernkastel of all people was the one who 'promised' it.

But there was the squeeze of his hand and.. well, she understood what it meant. He trusted her, he relied on her, he would go along with her decision. The soft feeling of his lips on hers only seems a split second ago, and suddenly it's so clear. She wants to try for this, even if the happy ending is probably a lie, she doesn't want to throw away her chances of maybe just becoming happy together with the man she loves more than anything.

"Fine." Her voice was more firm now. Even if she was still scared, she had more forced it inside, replaced by conviction and determination. As long as she was together with him.. "Your challenge is accepted, Bernkastel..! We'll do it, so bring it on!" She made sure to keep holding on to his hand, not letting go for a single moment.
