If the book were to be destroyed, his brother would recover from being cursed, but Vanitas refused to give the book and said, "It's not a toy for children".

But Vanitas and Noè were pressured by her killing Aura, making them afraid and surrendered to her, with the fact that they did not talk to each other make them fight with her until the veil covering her face was revealed by Vanitas, who had attacked Jeanne first. Her beauty swayed Vanitas and Noè for a while. Noè felt his heart skip a beat and his face turned red. He couldn't take his eyes off of her because he was impressed with her, before cutting back to the next scene of Jeanne attacking them bringing Vanitas and Noè to their senses, try to escape her after knowing that she was the "The Hellfire Witch". Vanitas was very afraid, but Noè wasn't afraid of her and just didn't understand why she's a vampire who doesn't listen to other people's attempts to explain.

Noé plotted with Vanitas to find a way to defeat her. During his fight with Jeanne, he was honored to fight someone so strong and beautiful, but at the same time. Noè says that Jeanne is not as strong as his teacher, while Noè was thinking that, he accidentally caressed and met her eyes, making him stare at the beauty of Jeanne until Noè is defeated in battle, and Noè looked at him hand with a feeling of don't understand, trembling towards her, Although, later he was used by Vanitas and was shocked to see her being kissed in the face by Vanitas. But he continued to pretend he didn't know and was confused.

While talking about the cursed, Jeanne thanks Noé,  and he tried to deny that it wasn't his work, but Jeanne wanted to thank him anyway. For whatever reason, Noé was shaken and embarrassed again, however he was interrupted by Vanitas and talks about the marking that Jeanne has made, Luca talks about getting Vanitas to apologize for kissing her.

Noé came back to the memories that he didn't want to recall, but he tried to pretend that nothing had happened, Finally, Vanitas helped her lie to cover up the fact that she was cursed and his Buddy was taken outside by her to the window. Noè hurriedly ate the Tarte Tatin and followed them with concern, Noé saw Jeanne drink the blood of Vanitas and their teasing, intimate expressions.

Fanon
NoèJeanne is an obscure ship in The Case Study of Vanitas fandom. Their relationship has strange forms of one-sided attraction, and can't explain it. Noè with Jeanne is is a person who likes to eat sweets, and they are gentle people, which makes fans think they would have a good chemistry together.

Although Noèjeanne was overshadowed by the popular VaniJeanne with Vanoé and Noénique but there is still a small minority of fans who like them, sometimes fans ship them together with VaniJeanne, Noénique, Vanoé because some people like their polyships but there are some people who ship them because they don't like VaniJeanne's toxic relationship and thinking that if they were a canon, it would be cuter and better.

But at the same time, NoéJeanne is in the midst of controversy from fans who say they don't have good chemistry and try to argue with weird theories, such as that Jeanne is Noe's mother, Noé is gay and he don't care about women. but there are some fans who argue that Noé's feelings are a moment of self-discovery and he still doesn't understand love, a feeling of admiration and sexual attraction can turn into love even though he still didn't like her right now.

No matter what, they will be construed as having romantic feelings or not romantic feelings, but NoéJeanne has the opportunity to develop a relationship in the future and their dynamics are still interesting, not losing to other popular ships in fandom.
