System vs Rebirth

Muivell Kingdom.

The royal family had once again gathered the ministers and the Arbiters they could muster at the moment.

Unlike the Zaecuria Kingdom or the Greenwood Kingdom, the opinion was split.

"Your Majesty. I believe that we have to demand Earl Ardagan to give the runes to the royal family so that everyone in the kingdom can get stronger, which will guarantee national security," one noble stated firmly.

The other nobles rebuked him. "Count Sekk, I believe that what you are saying is rather ambitious. If the royal family is abusing their privilege to get what the noble has invented, no one is going to create another thing in this kingdom anymore."

"I believe that Earl Ardagan is not concerned about this kingdom and is ready to defect. We can see how he acts toward the Greenwood Kingdom and the Zaecuria Kingdom."

"I don't think that's true. From what I heard, Earl Ardagan is cooperating with the Muivell Kingdom. He has created the Rune Academy in this kingdom, specifically in his territory. You should be aware that he has spread the runes themselves to the public. I think he has done the obligation for the kingdom."

"What did you say? He also spread the knowledge to other kingdoms."

"No. He spread the runes in this kingdom. However, we should question how that knowledge actually reached other kingdoms. Don't tell me, someone is getting bribes to fill their own pocket?"

"That's a bold accusation. Do you think you can take responsibility for your words?"

"I believe that Rune Academy is enough to prove his loyalty to the kingdom. If that's not enough, even with Princess Livia from the Greenwood Kingdom beside him, he still chooses Anna Stargaze to be his fiancee. At the same time, the number of people from our kingdom who are allowed to enter his Rune Academy is much higher than the rest of the kingdoms."

"That's right. What if your action forced the Greenwood Kingdom or the Zaecuria Kingdom to steal him? If Earl Ardagan left the kingdom, it would be a great loss for us."

"You should be the one taking responsibility for making him uncomfortable."

"Hasn't he done a great service to the country?"

"That's right. He has repelled 75,000 demons, those Superior Demons and a few Devil Saints from this land. This kind of attack far surpasses anything we've seen in the last couple of hundreds of years. Can your territory block them?"
