System vs Rebirth

"Anna Stargaze. Let's get married."

Anna, who was still distracted by her own weird thought, dropped her jaw to the ground. "Wha—What are you saying?"

"I have been thinking about why you're in the spotlight instead of your father covering you. Hence, I conclude that you're the center of attention for a reason. It's to make me go to you with all kinds of intention. In other words, if I want to solve this problem, you're the biggest clue I have."

"I can understand that, but why are you asking me to get married?" Anna widened her eyes in shock. Her face reddened due to her thoughts but she also felt disappointed when Noel didn't even show any emotion from that place.

"This is the most simple solution. Everyone expect that I come to you with hatred because of what you've done. So, I'm going to use the reverse psychology to drag them out. They will surely be surprised if I marry you, causing them to come out of their hiding place," Noel explained carefully.

"You bastard. Do you understand what you're saying right now?" Anna gritted her teeth and pointed her blade at his neck. "I have been fighting with my talent to escape political marriage this whole time and you think you can use me like that?"

"I don't." Noel shook his head. "Well, that's just me trying to create a situation where we can use each other. I'll be using you to investigate my parents whereabout while you can take advantage of that opportunity to what you've been doing."

"I don't like that idea. No matter how hard you're trying to convince me, I'm not going to do it." Anna snorted.

"Of course, I don't expect you to agree. Even I don't believe how I can even suggest that kind of idea. But I think you get the idea… What I'm trying to say here is I want to drag them out by using the reverse psychology. If there's a need of hatred between us, then we can come with the exact opposite of that." Noel shook his head.
