System vs Rebirth

"Huh? A bet?" Noel widened his eyes. She said she didn't have time for a bet, but he soon realized the bet wouldn't be small. "I see… Let me hear it first."

Anna smiled and pointed at him.

"I am sure that both of us have secrets. The Sword Saint has banned me from asking you about it, but it doesn't state that I can't know the secret."

"Hmm? Are you planning to make me tell you the secret voluntarily?" Noel frowned. On the one hand, Anna was a trusted person. On the other hand, their relationship wasn't at the level where he could openly share the secret about the system.

"Yeah. I know about that. That's why I want to make this little bet between us. We will see who will be the one to tell their secret to the others." Anna smiled.

"!!!" Noel widened his eyes in surprise. "Huh? This bet is weird. Are you saying that you want me to force you to reveal your secret?"

"Don't say it like you have won." Anna pouted before she continued, "But I don't think it's a bad deal, right?

"I'm sure you have been curious about my secrets. Why can I know the future and have extensive knowledge…" Anna made a cheeky smile.

Noel couldn't deny it. If he understood Anna's secret and knew how much she knew, he might be able to plan for the future better than anyone else. In fact, he might become invisible. With her secret and his brain, they would truly be unbeatable.

However, if he lost this challenge, he had to let her know about Ardagan.

For Anna, the knowledge about the future was useful, but she might not be able to utilize it completely with her alone. And with how much the future had changed due to her actions, the past events might not be relevant anymore. So, she tried to take advantage of it by betting on it. Even if she lost, she planned to give this information to Noel since his brain might be able to find out something missing from his past life.

For Noel, his system was extremely useful. But it was useless for Anna. The only way to obtain this power was to marry him and let their child wield Ardagan. But their relationship wasn't at that level, so it would be useless. So, the only way to take advantage of it was to kill him, causing the Ardagan lineage to end him.
