System vs Rebirth

"Earl Ardagan, please nice to meet you. I'm Count Hareven." A middle-aged man approached Noel with a gentle smile. Next to him was a young woman. With long pink hair running smoothly like that of silk, she gave off the vibe of a gentle and graceful person. She politely lowered her head while lifting her skirt, greeting Noel as the middle-aged man introduced her. "I and my daughter, Ruby, would like to congratulate you."

"Thank you very much, Count Hareven." Noel nodded with a smile. "Since we both are lords in the north, there will be a lot of opportunities for us to talk in the future."

Noel maintained a polite but distant approach. This way, he didn't turn anyone down, but he did not choose any of them.

After getting his title, they had a little banquet to celebrate his achievement. And a lot of people took this opportunity to approach Noel for one reason or another.

The king had left the party, so the pressure on these nobles' shoulders lessened quite a bit. Even if the king wanted to harm Noel, he had to do it carefully, so there was no problem with them taking a bite of what Noel had before that.

While he was greeting the people, Kevin came to him while extending his hand. "Congratulations, Noel."

"Thank you." Noel smiled. "It's thanks to you that I'm able to reach this far."

"What are you talking about? I haven't done anything for you except recommending that position. Everything is due to your abilities. But… I have to apologize for one thing…" Kevin made a wry smile while glancing at the side, where his daughter was located.

The others who watched their interactions couldn't help but understand the circumstances. Because Kevin was Luke Ardagan's friend, he wanted to take care of the problems in their family by helping Noel. On the other hand, his own daughter was adamant about killing Noel.

As the head of the Stargaze Family, he had to choose Noel or Anna.

"Well, today, you are the star. So, I won't be holding anyone back from meeting you. If you need anything, feel free to talk to me."

"Yes." Noel nodded with a smile. As Kevin walked away, more and more nobles approached Noel.

On the side, Anna was watching Noel with a cold gaze. If a glare was enough to kill someone, Noel might have died multiple times.
