System vs Rebirth

"Don't kill me. I'm here to deliver the message from the Third Prince."

"!!!" Noel and Anna exchanged looks and immediately returned to the bed as if they had a hard time moving.

As soon as the Sword Arbiter knew this person's identity, he replied, "You should know that both of them are still gravely injured after fighting me, right?"

"I'm sorry, Sir. I'm only here to pass the message."

"…" The Sword Arbiter frowned. On the one hand, Noel had known that the Third Prince would take this opportunity to make him overwork himself. On the other hand, Noel had recovered most of his injuries.

He had made enough ruckus, so Noel should have heard about him and began his acting. Hence, the only thing he needed to do was sheathe his sword and say, "Follow me."

"Yes, Sir." The messenger had three objectives when infiltrating the city. The first was to deliver the message to Noel. The second purpose would be to observe the Sword Arbiter's action to see whether it was possible or not to take down this city. The last objective was to observe rune technology.

He was quite surprised by the third one and was ready to report it to the Third Prince. However, if the Third Prince forced Noel to hand the technology to him, Noel might use this chance to cut ties with him.

Hence, the message wouldn't be related to technology.

The Sword Arbiter led the messenger through the main hallway just to buy some more time for Noel.

Eventually, both of them had reached the room where Noel and Anna were taken care of. Anna looked like she was sleeping while Noel was sitting on the bed while reading something. His face was pale and his body was covered with bandages.

Because of the appearance of the Moon Temple, the Third Prince was in a rush since the longer Noel stayed with the Moon Temple, the more he would recover. After all, the Moon Temple had its own healer.

After observing Noel's complexion, the messenger opened his mouth. "I am the messenger of the Third Prince. I'm here to pass his message to you."

"…" Noel furrowed his eyebrows. "I'm still in this condition. Do you think I have time to do anything else?"

"I apologize, Sir. I'm only here to pass his message." The messenger shook his head, but he was happy that Noel's condition didn't seem to be much better. It seemed that the Sword Arbiter had injured them so severely that even with a healer, it would still take a long time for him to recover.

"I'll listen to his message for now." Noel finally agreed and gave him permission to speak.

The messenger said, "According to our information, there is a weird demon activity west of this city. The demons are most likely to build their nest in that place and will attack this city again in the near future. It's best to eliminate them right now."
