System vs Rebirth

"Hey, move it here."

"We're going to help with this area."

The people in the town were focusing on their tasks. There were a lot of logs gathered from the entire area, and a few of the house's skeletons had been built.

Douglas was the one supervising every single building. He was alone at this time, but it seemed that he would be fine for a while.

Noel and Anna were walking around the construction site.

"It seems that the city is going along nicely," said Anna while inspecting the buildings.

"Yeah. It's just…Protecting them is going to be tricky. We've bought about two or three months from everyone, but I'm sure that we'll be attacked very soon." Noel narrowed his eyes. He could imagine the destruction that the attack would bring.

After all, with their engagement, the enemies wouldn't treat them lightly anymore.

Anna truly thought that she had caused this trouble. But Noel had made her agree that she wouldn't think that way and never apologized because it was also his decision.

Even with a heavy heart, Anna said, "In that case, should we get a reinforcement?"

"Reinforcement, huh?" Noel thought for a moment. "No. Not yet. If we ask for reinforcement that easily, people will think that we're too weak. It's going to be bad for future negotiations. Instead, we will complete the academy as soon as possible. Even if the rest haven't been built, the academy has to be done."

"Oh?! Are you going to indirectly get the reinforcement from the academy? This way, we won't look too weak."

"Not really. The academy is required for the funds. After fending off the next attack, the people should be able to see that we're strong and have no problems in sending their talented people to us. However, it has another purpose. But I'm still not sure about it yet, so I'm not going to say it now."

Anna looked down. "The next attack would definitely come from the Supreme Devil Organization, right?"

"Yeah. But I'm sure that the Royal Family would be involved in it."

"Now that I think about it, our initial question about whether the Third Prince, the Royal Family, and the Supreme Devil Organization have been answered, right?"

"That's… true." Noel nodded. They had forgotten this question since, at first, they wanted to investigate all this by themselves, only to realize everything was connected once they were big enough to see the entire kingdom.

"With that thought in mind, why would we die together?"
