System vs Rebirth

Noel smiled. "Well, I want to help you in your work. Is it possible, Father?"

"Of course, of course. You're a smart kid, so you should understand at least half of the work already. You're just lacking in experience, so your father here will help you experience everything." Luke bumped his chest with his fist as if he was fired up. "Though, are you sure you want to do it? The usual you will always ask me to leave you alone."

"Mhm." Noel looked down with a sad smile. "It's just… not all dreams end in a happy ending."

When they heard those words, they understood Noel's meaning. It seemed the reason why Noel wanted to work hard because he saw that bad ending.

Noel scratched the back of his head, hesitating to say it. However, knowing this was the right time to get some information, Noel asked, "Is it possible for Marquis Stargaze to betray you?"

"Really? And that is?"

"If I request him." Luke pointed at himself proudly.

"Huh?" Noel was confused. This was exactly what his grandfather said in his dream. "Request him to betray you? Why would you do such a thing?"

"Did Kevin betray me in your dream? Do you mind telling me about it?"

"Well, in my dream, he betrayed you and we lost everything
