System vs Rebirth

Noel was sitting next to Anna, who was sleeping on the bed. Even though the situation had been handled, he still needed to wait Anna to wake up to get their rewards.

He looked at Anna's sleeping face. She looked so weak and defenseless that he could kill her easily with a single swing.

However, this wasn't the revenge he wanted. He still remembered the despair, fear, and anguish that he experienced when he saw his parents' heads were severed by the guillotine.

He wanted Anna to fall into despair first before dying. He wanted to destroy her family first so that she could understand the feeling of losing a family. He wanted to break everything around her so that she could feel the helplessness from it.

A life worse than death. Only when she had nothing that he would kill her.

'To do that, I need to wait. Even right now, she's already that strong. What about her family? The royal family? I still need to become stronger and stronger. When I'm strong enough, I'll crush everyone so they would know the true pain.' Noel bit his lips.

However, he couldn't help but remember when Anna cut the rope at the last moment, sacrificing herself to buy some time.

'What was your thought when you asked the execution of my parents? What was your thought when you came here to bully me? What was your thought when you cut that rope to help me?' Noel looked at this innocent face that he couldn't believe was the cause of his despair.

He bit his lips and asked, "Why?"

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Anna was thinking about what to do in her dream. She wanted to apologize to Noel and ended up talking in her sleep.

"Noel… I'm… sorry…"

Her expression showed remorse and her tone was sad as if she wanted to repent.
