System vs Rebirth

"I think you can find the answer in the other two letters."

Upon hearing it, the Grand Protector couldn't help but look at these letters. Since he was more curious about the Ezenholm Family, he opened it first.

"The Ezenholm Family is condemning the Atracaeca Kingdom for extorting the bloodline of our family."

Just a single sentence was enough for the Grand Protector to understand the rest of the content. He couldn't help but grit his teeth, asking, "Is Noel Ardagan truly…"

"After a simple background check, we've confirmed that it's true. He is the son of the famous Luke Ardagan and Leysha Ezenholm. Leysha Ezenholm is the daughter of the famous Raincart Ezenholm. She was once one of the five Spirit Grandmasters the Ezenholm Family had."

The Grand Protector's face darkened. It was clear that the situation was beyond repair. As for the reason, it would be explained in the last letter, which was Noel's letter.

"Before you read it, I think you should be aware of this first, Sir." His advisor stopped him for an important piece of information. "Noel Ardagan became an earl in the Muivell Kingdom not long ago. His achievement makes Anna's talent pale in comparison. Of course, his strength has also reached Spirit Grandmaster."

"…" The Grand Protector's heart skipped a beat. That achievement couldn't be reproduced by their people. And with the status of an earl, they couldn't easily do something to Noel, especially with the fact that he was Princess Livia's teacher.

When he opened the last letter, his heart sank.

"I'm disappointed by the treatment of the Atracaeca Kingdom. I originally thought there could be cooperation between us, especially in the rune department. Unfortunately, the only memory I had of the Atracaeca Kingdom was a bitter one.

"To maintain my integrity, I have fulfilled my side of the agreement by giving the tips of learning rune to your second prince. With this, I will have no connection with the Atracaeca Kingdom.

"With my name, I hereby ban all people from the Atracaeca Kingdom from enlisting in my Rune Academy."

The Grand Protector's heart sank when he saw the last sentence. It was clear that the founder of the runes was planning to create an academy about the very thing he found. Just like the Greenwood Kingdom, they could learn from him directly and advance their progress in runes.

Yet, for one reason or another, the second prince had offended Noel and forced him to take this action.
