System vs Rebirth

Six months ago.

Anna had just finished the day and was about to sleep. But suddenly, her instinct picked up a danger.

It was a tad too late, but the danger didn't do anything to her. So, she turned around while shouting, "Who?!"

Dimitri didn't reply to her. He remained inside the shadow. However, he left a box that contained all the items that Noel wanted to give Anna.

Anna fell silent and recalled his words. "He said Noel wants to give me a big surprise in six months… Huh? What kind of surprise?"

Anna tilted her head in confusion. No matter how hard she thought about it, nothing came to her mind.

However, she didn't forget that she had just kissed Noel's cheek not long ago.

So, having more wives was proof of power and a symbol of protection. The same applied the other way around, but they had one big problem, which was the successor. After all, there was
