System vs Rebirth

Count Swirzel's Mansion.

There were three people standing in front of each other. They were Count Swirzel himself, the knight captain, and Risha.

"So, how are you planning to deal with this Anna?" Count Swirzel asked with a serious expression.

"Before telling you how to deal with her, I'll tell you about her plan first." Risha shook her head.

The Count thought for a moment and shrugged. "Well, it's not bad to know what she's planning to do first."

"She is going to give you an ultimatum tomorrow before kidnapping your family after the ultimatum ends."

"Hoh? An ultimatum, it's a rather straightforward way." Count Swirzel narrowed his eyes. "I thought the organization wouldn't use an ultimatum to warn me and simply do everything to fulfill your mission even if it means assassinating my family members without any warning."

"It's not your place to speak anything about the organization." Risha glared at the Count.

"Oi…" The knight captain tried to stop her rude remark, but the Count simply waved his hand, stopping him to avoid any trouble. Seeing the Count so passive this time, he could only let this matter go.

"So, what are you planning to do? I'll cooperate with you."

"It's simple. We'll let that young miss give you an ultimatum. After that, we're going to set up an ambush where I'll stab her in the back. After that, my partner will try to defeat you before bringing her away from the mansion.

"With that condition, she wouldn't be able to do anything and the rest would be up to the royal family to handle," Risha explained a simple plan.

Since Anna's plan was simple, there was no need for any wicked plans such as poison, assassin, or something along the line.

The Count contemplated for a moment before noticing the same thing. "Still, isn't this plan too straightforward?"

"It's enough for a newbie like her." Risha shook her head. "Even if this plan doesn't work, we have three peak Spirit Wielders. If something goes wrong and she notices our plan, we'll surround her and defeat her.

"At that time, you can play as a bad man and capture her. After that, the royal family will take over the matters."

The Count didn't really have any objection to this scheme. Although it was straight, they indeed had the strength to overwhelm Anna.

Although Anna was also a Spirit Wielder, there was still a gap between a normal Spirit Wielder and a peak Spirit Wielder. All organizations around the world recognized it.

That was why the Demon Banner Army usually put a peak Spirit Grandmaster in the captain position instead of a normal Spirit Grandmaster like Paul. The same applied to the Supreme Devil Organization, which put the Devil Bishop at the same level as the Demon Banner Army captains.

They had prepared for the worst, so the plan didn't need to be extremely complicated. They might even guarantee their success if they used drugs or something, but the royal family had personally tasked them to make sure Anna didn't suffer a long-lasting injury. After all, she had to marry the prince.

"If that's the case, you can move from the barrack where the soldiers are staying. I'll have them standby there." The Count suggested.

"Why do we have to go there? It is too obvious."

"I'll act as a paranoid noble and increase the security of my mansion, fearing her attempts. But there is a link between my mansion to the barrack, which is on the west side of this mansion. I'll put fewer guards there, thinking the enemy won't go through a barrack full of soldiers.

"Since the attempt will go during the night, it's easy to believe they're sleeping. So, you can go through there by giving her the information about the place alone. I don't think she will go all the way to scout the area." The Count explained.

Risha frowned, considering the Count's suggestions carefully. As he said, there shouldn't be any problem with tricking a newbie like this. If Anna was more experienced, she wouldn't accept this suggestion. But since Anna had been straightforward this whole time, it didn't seem to be a bad plan. Even if things went wrong, they could simply overwhelm her.

"Yeah. I think I can accept that suggestion. For now, we'll go with that. I'll update the situation if there's any change and inform you about the date of our attempt."

"Good." The Count nodded with a serious expression, feeling happy that Anna was ignorant of the world. It would be easy to trick her.

Unlike the organization, the Demon Banner Army was also a straightforward organization. As long as they had a talent, they would be recognized by them. The rest would be taught after they graduated.

But Anna left the army after just one month. There wasn't much for her to learn, especially since the demons didn't use any kind of schemes most of the time.

After reaching an agreement, Risha walked away to inform her partner.

Meanwhile, the Count looked through the window while asking, "What do you think?"

"She is strong. I can say that she is truly a peak Spirit Wielder. If her companion is at the same level, then we can suppress a normal Spirit Wielder no matter how talented she is."

"Since you have said that, I guess I can rest assured now. All we need to do is to confirm her strength tomorrow. So, you're going to accompany me."

"Understood."

After that discussion, they all went to make their own preparation to receive Anna.

…

The next day.

Anna, accompanied by Myzik and Risha, sat in front of the Count.

She didn't bother with the Count's knight, who stood there to protect him as if she had confidence in scaring him.

The Count was also sweating as if he was scared of her. With a shaking tone, the Count asked, "May I know for what pleasure Miss Anna Stargaze came here?"

Anna lifted her head, looking down at him. She said with an arrogant tone while handing a piece of paper. "I want you to compensate the kingdom for the embezzlement you've done. The total is here."
