System vs Rebirth

A smile suddenly appeared on Noel's face. He looked at the middle-aged man and gave the answer he had prepared before.

"Even though the Ardagan Family was a noble family, my father was more of a merchant than a noble. As his son, of course, I have been taught as a merchant. That's why there is only one answer from me. I will choose the third option."

The middle-aged man looked at Noel's expression. Because he hailed from the Greenwood Kingdom, from his perspective, this was the least desirable outcome.

After all, they couldn't get Noel entirely and only acted for a matter of interest. In fact, if Noel was someone who came from the Greenwood Kingdom, marrying the second princess would do him good.

As someone that smart, the princess lived far away from the throne war. Although she might still end up getting involved in it, if they worked together, it was possible to escape from the throne war. This way, he wouldn't repeat what happened to the Ardagan Family when supporting the Third Prince.

However, he could understand if that matter had given him trauma, which stopped him from choosing the first option.

That was why the second option existed. As a friend of the royal family, specifically their king, Noel would be able to get a lot of resources and stand away from the throne war, considering the king would hide him until it was over.

And with his protection, the Muivell Kingdom wouldn't be able to do anything to him. Once it was over, he might be granted a fief and a family name due to his achievement in runes.

Yet, Noel actually chose the third option. He had even pressured him to choose the best option, but he refused to become one of them and wanted to take a risk by living in this kingdom.
