System vs Rebirth

"Well, if you have made the decision, I don't have any objection, but I need to make sure that you're aware of the danger." Anna squinted her eyes, pressuring Noel to rethink about his decision. If he still agreed to this plan, she would follow his decision.

"Yes." Noel nodded without hesitation. "Either way, I'm dead. Getting killed by you or dying in a mission is basically the same."

"…" Anna fell silent because she recalled that moment when Noel thought that dying by her hand wasn't that bad at all. It was clearly different from what Noel thought right now.

'Did something happen to Noel at that time? It felt like he wanted to kill me but not wanted to kill me at the same time. And me killing him was a kind of relief to him…' Anna noticed why Noel always said she was ignorant. 'I see. It seems that I truly don't know anything. Not only Noel, but I should also investigate the incidents too. After all, it's weird that my father has agreed to the royal family to execute his parents but exile Noel alone. And there is the family heirloom which can be seen to be a good sharp sword.

'My own family is hiding something about Noel… Is he that important?' Anna's expression darkened.

"What's wrong? Do you not want it that much?" Noel narrowed his eyes. "If you don't, then I can go there alone."

"No, that's not what I mean…" Anna shook her head hurriedly. "I don't have any problem with your decision since you have thought it through. In that case, when are you planning to go?"

"Hmm, how far is Argali Town?" Noel asked.

"…" Anna's eyebrows twitched as she was screaming inwardly, 'You can call the town's name but don't know the location? Are you serious? How in the world you know the Saintess' location without even having any kind of information?'

Anna took a while to sort out her breath and said, "Argali Town is in Earldom… Who is it again? Earl Hawkins? Either way, the distance from this place to the Earldom is around two weeks… That is because you love running."
