System vs Rebirth

While reminiscing about the past, she also remembered the few pieces of information Noel gave in the end.

"There's no need for that corrupted kingdom to continue. Do you think they were willingly fighting against the demons? You're too naive."

"I always thought of you as my archenemy this whole time, but I realized that you were just a mere puppet controlled by the demons. I lost my interest in you."

"If you don't disappear right now, I won't hesitate to fight you. After killing you, I will destroy your family."

This way, the Demon Banner Army and the Tower Association would be weakened… When I thought about it, I remembered that the Royal Family spent a lot of money to recruit more soldiers to stop the invasion."
