System vs Rebirth

The first place they visited was Harley's place. Since they were going to meet the others, it was better to find out about their locations first to see if they could find someone along the way and make a schedule for them.

So, Noel and Dimitri headed to Eternal Flower Brothel, the headquarters of the major brothel brand in the kingdom.

"Well, well, well… I have never thought that you would visit us again, Master." Harley politely bowed to him. Obviously, he had expected him to come back soon for more information, but it wasn't this fast.

"I need your help." Noel nodded while watching Illia pouring tea for both of them.

"I understand. What kind of information do you need?" Harley complied without hesitation.

"…" Noel paused for a moment, feeling a bit doubtful. "That easy?"

"Is that a problem? Seeing that Dimitri is coming with you means that you've been fully acknowledged as the head of the Ardagan Family. In addition, I've sworn to serve you with my life, so is there any problem with me helping you?"

"No, I just thought that you would think a bit more about this. After all, you should have suspected what I'm going to do from now on, especially in this chaotic situation."

"Yes, Sir, I do. You're planning to take advantage of the chaos to rebuild the family. It will definitely endanger us, but that doesn't really matter." Harley politely bowed. "Please give me your order."

Noel felt blessed to have this kind of subordinate. Hence, he didn't hesitate to give the task to show he trusted them. "I want information about the Ardagan Family's scattered vassals."

"Scattered vassals? I see, you're planning to reassemble them… Are you planning to become a noble soon?"

"Yeah. In four to five months, I will become a noble and rebuild the Ardagan Family from scratch."

"Still, you should be aware of the relationship the family has with the royalty, right?"

"I know. There is a chance that they won't even recognize us and refuse to deliver the noble title for whatever reason. However, with the title from the Demon Banner Army as well as a few recommendations from important people, it should be enough."

"That leaves the problem to the territory. The Royal Family knows that if we regain our former territory, there is a huge chance that the Ardagan Family will prosper again. Hence, they will most likely send us to a dangerous but barren area."

"This will be the first hurdle we're going to take care of. However, I will have someone infiltrating the royal family and make them give us a favorable location. So, while it's still dangerous, we can take advantage of the land to rebuild the family."
