System vs Rebirth

"I'll make you regret for not killing me now, Anna Stargaze."

While looking at Noel's lonely back, Anna raised her hand as if trying to reach him but ended up scratching the back of her head, thinking, 'I messed up. Maybe I should have used a mask or something and gained his trust… No, the moment he learns my true identity, it would just cause the same thing. I need to continue to approach him, but not too much so that he doesn't think I am annoying. Then, I should focus on my original mission, I guess.'

While Anna led Alfred and Lezlev through the forest, Noel wandered aimlessly for a few minutes, not knowing what to do. He felt like he had lost everything.

'As expected, I shouldn't have any friends. They'll just betray me again and again, especially with that poisonous woman around.' Noel clenched his hands tightly because once again, something that he had was taken away again by Anna.

At the same time, he couldn't ignore what she said earlier.

'Still, no matter how talented she is, Anna Stargaze alone is not enough to influence the royal family to execute my family. There are only two reasons for the royal family to agree to the execution.

'First, they have an arranged marriage. In other words, Anna Stargaze will become the queen herself. However, this is impossible because she won't be here. So, it means they're not married or engaged.

'If that's the case, then there was something hidden in my family. That something threatened the royal family, so they executed my family to seize that 'thing' which I have no knowledge about.

'In other words, Anna Stargaze was just playing a small role here… or even worse, becoming the scapegoat of the royal family. Even earlier, she didn't have any intention to harm me… Is it like she said? There's a conspiracy going on?'
