System vs Rebirth

"No, it's very strange from my perspective. After all, Marquis Stargaze was your father's best friend, who had gone through life and death many times."

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in shock. "What… did you say?"

"You didn't hear it wrong. Your father and Marquis Stargaze were best friends." Raincart smirked.

"Then, are you telling me that Marquis Stargaze betrayed my father?" Noel furrowed his eyebrows.

"That's something I don't know, but I feel it's weird. I've heard the stories from your mother, Leysha. She told me that your father had always saved Marquis Stargaze with his timely support, mainly with supply. Meanwhile, Marquis Stargaze had repaid him so many times, including gambling with his life in exchange for your father's safety.

"With that kind of relationship, I hardly believed that either of them would betray the other. So, if this is not betrayal, then what is it?" Raincart asked.

Noel looked down, contemplating. He didn't know why but this kind of ridiculous thought appeared in his mind. "Now that I think about it, I heard that Anna Stargaze asked her father for my parents' execution. Meanwhile, the Marquis Stargaze had agreed with the royal family to spare my life.

"If it was the normal Royal Family, they would surely agree with Anna because executing all of us would mean solving the problems from the root.

"Does that mean Marquis Stargaze had been begging the Royal Family and stopping his daughter from executing me as well? But the best they could give was my exile. If that's the case, does that mean Marquis Stargaze actually saved me? Still, if they're best friends, shouldn't they be on the same side?"

"Exactly." Raincart pointed at Noel. "That's why I feel it is strange. There are three questions that can easily come up with this situation. The first question is about Anna Stargaze. Even if she's the most talented person in the kingdom, there's no way the Royal Family could follow her words.
