System vs Rebirth

Outside.

Noel was walking in the hallway. His face was distorted a bit as his mind was crazy with all the thoughts. The cause was none other than Anna's outburst.

'I have been thinking Anna to be the executor of my family. That's why I hate her to the bone. But now, my feelings are mixed. On the one hand, my parents are still alive and all this situation are created by my father. On the other hand, what am I supposed to feel now?'

The outburst kept flashing in his mind. If Anna was just a mere pawn that his father had arranged, he didn't know whether to hate her anymore or not. After all, he had been clinging into this anger for the past eight months. So, he felt weird because that feeling was forcefully taken away.

'I might have been unfair to her…' Noel scratched the back of his head. 'But at the same time, I believe that my father didn't do this for nothing. He must have a hidden purpose. Then, why did my father put Anna as the target of my hatred even though her father is his best friend?

'Ardagan, do you have any idea about this? Well, it's not like you're going to tell me anyway.' Noel stopped and leaned on the wall.

'Let's think about it again. First of all, my parents are taking the third prince's side while Marquis Stargaze is taking the king's side because of their relationship with the Supreme Devil Organization.

'Then, the third prince lost in the election and Marquis Stargaze asked the king to spare me. If the situation is reversed, Anna will be in my position and his father will be missing. Then, I'll most likely become the target of Anna's hatred.

'But in this situation, I won't have Ardagan and Anna has all that talent to kill me. I doubt I will last this long if our situation is reversed. In other words, the reverse is not planned because the plan is bound to fail that way. So, my parents know that the third prince was going to lose, so they went to that side? Or did they the one who caused the third prince to lose? I don't know about this.

'Either way, I was sent to the Demon Banner Army, which was created by my ancestor. There were not much clue I could find in the stronghold, but it seems that Dimitri has been protecting me this whole time. I have faced many life and death battles, but he must have felt whether the rescue will be coming or not. When the result is that I will be fine, he won't come out.

'Well, I don't think Dimitri is a big piece in this plan. What I should be thinking right now is the hidden room in the treasury as well as my trip to the Ezenholm Family.

'With how the commander urged me to visit the Ezenholm Family even though it was the neighboring kingdom, it meant the commander might know something about this. But can I ask him all this because it would mean he would be suspicious of me. I don't know if I can trust him since he's the third prince's man.

'Then, how about the Ezenholm Family? Only Grandfather who seems to know many things about my family situation because he's the only one investigating the family. Did he know something about this entire plan and just acted that way so that I didn't find the truth? There were too many questions…

'And last but not least, the Sword Saint. The Sword Saint is my ancestry uncle and he's from the Greenwood Kingdom's royal family. If we're talking about the family tree alone, it means I'm also a part of the royalty of the Greenwood Kingdom. But I don't think the royal family will think the same way. After all, the lineage of the Sword Saint has been cut and his sister, the royal princess married my ancestor. The current lineage of the royal family must come from other princes or princesses.

'But the problem is the connection… what kind of connection do all these points have? I can't find a single reason that connects all of them. Do I miss something?'

Noel thought hard to see if he missed any clue or whatsoever. But Anna's outburst flashed in his mind again.

'Why do I keep thinking of her? I do feel a bit bad because of how I treat her. I can justify my action when I don't know this is my father's plan, but now that I know that my parents are still alive somewhere…'

Noel let out a long sigh, feeling stressed by this feeling. However, he suddenly fell into deep thought as if he noticed something. 'Wait a minute. Why should I hate Anna? My father planned that I should hate Anna since she was the culprit and Marquis Stargaze should stop the rumor from spreading.

'Yet, they actually made Anna to be the biggest person in this plan as if they want me to go to her to seek revenge. Does that mean Anna is actually the eye of this storm? He wants me to go to Anna for a reason and what's the reason for it?'

If Anna was actually thinking with him, she would also get suspicious because Noel harassed her in the previous life. But she also had that one memory where Noel had sadness and relief when he fell from a cliff.

Anna would think that Noel was bound to learn this sooner or later. Yet, when the hatred had diminished, Noel actually didn't stop harassing her. There should be a reason why Noel acted that way.

​ However, this was their current life. Anna was unaware of Noel's train of thought while Noel didn't know what Anna had experienced. They were clueless to what was happening until Noel thought of a plan.

'If my father wants Anna to be in the spotlight, it means that she's the clue that I need for this entire situation. Then, I should take advantage of this situation to find the entire truth.' Noel suddenly rushed back to the library and said, "Anna. Let's get married."
