System vs Rebirth

In the heart of the royal palace, hidden behind towering stone walls was the grand throne. The person who sat on it was none other than the current king, Oliver De Lenfenth.

He looked down upon the people who had been standing on the two sides of the hall. Due to the tradition, there were a lot of nobles in the Muivell Kingdom.

They had gotten used to seeing someone becoming a noble after their service in the army. That was why this grand hall was usually desolate despite the occasion. All nobles had been invited, but those who came usually wanted to assess, befriend, or hinder the new noble.

Yet, today was like none other. The desolate grand hall was brimming with people. All were standing near the red carpet that led directly to the throne.

They had been invited, and surprisingly, most of the nobles in the kingdom decided to attend. After all, they had heard the name of the noble.

Noel Ardagan. This name had shaken the entire kingdom, not only with his achievement in rune but also his strength. It was undeniable that he would become a great figure in the future.

The anticipation among the gathered nobles was palpable. Their silk and satin garments rustled softly as they exchanged whispers.

Elegantly dressed women adorned in jewels whispered secrets behind delicate fans, while distinguished men adjusted the cuffs of their finely tailored coats.

Their intention was clear. To approach the new noble, the first impression was important.

"Are we really going to see that person?" asked one of the young women.

"That's possible. I wonder what kind of a hero he is."

"From the lazy noble to a grand hero, huh…"

The nobles brought their children, mostly young women for one big reason. Even Dimitri had mentioned it.

Despite his achievement, Noel had yet to have someone beside him. It would become a problem sooner or later. And those greedy nobles would definitely prey upon him.

As the minute passed, the anticipation mounted.
