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."

"As long as you leave this land and stop getting controlled by the demons, I will spare you and your family."

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

"I see. He used me this whole time."

"You were right. I should have trusted no one."

Anna also thought about it during the expedition. There were a few things that made her doubt her current condition.

"The corrupted kingdom… The Muivell Kingdom is indeed corrupted, not about the money, but the way of their thinking. But there is something weird about the second part. They have spent a lot in order to stop the demon invasion…"

"But if we're talking about the past life, the demon invasion was caused by the Supreme Devil Organization. They had used their research to cause the demons to attack them. And the Demon Banner Army and the Royal Family joined hands, fighting together to stop their invasion."

"What if… the Royal Family was only acting this whole time? The real reason why they stopped them was because they were related to the invasion itself. 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."
