System vs Rebirth

As Douglas explained, it seemed that the pillars of the Ardagan Family had been waiting for Noel and Dimitri the whole time.

Although Noel was supposed to have died in Anna's hand, they still followed the instruction that Noel's father had given them.

The order was to wait for five years, which was the time limit, before something big happens.

However, if Noel somehow managed to gain the power and influence to become a noble, they would become Noel's vassals.

Douglas had told Noel about all the matters that his father had passed on. Still, he couldn't believe that Anna was Noel's ally, even though she had brought the Ardagan Family to the brink of destruction and even killed him.

Noel explained to Douglas and the other pillars that Anna had changed. This time, she would become their reliable ally that would influence the royal family.

The royal family still believed that Anna still hated them after all. So, if she managed to become an Arbiter, even the king had to consider her opinion seriously.

Although they were still a bit doubtful of Anna, they had to put their trust in her because Noel believed so. In addition, Dimitri told them about the relationship between Anna and Noel, making them understand why there was such trust between them.

It was surprising, but Douglas, Balott, and Charlotte had agreed to rebuild the Ardagan Family.

Balott was a middle-aged man who had been working around as a freelancer, giving advice to a lot of merchants. When Noel visited him with Douglas and Dimitri, it took him an instant to immediately recognize Noel as the master of the family.

However, due to his job, he had to remain in that city for a while. After all, it would become troublesome if he suddenly disappeared and incurred the wrath of all those merchants.

Luke was his mentor, so Balott understood how the merchants worked. Instead of following Noel, Balott decided to remain and gather some money for the initial fund.

On the other hand, Charlotte had a hard time keeping up with them due to her age. Charlotte was already in her late fifties. Unlike the others, she didn't train her body at all.
