System vs Rebirth

"What's wrong?" Anna asked. She was a bit confused as to why Noel's expression turned grim at this moment.

"I'm going to be summoned to the capital soon."

"If you use your fastest speed, you should be able to reach the capital within three days, right?" Anna frowned, thinking this wasn't a problem. Even if he had to attend the banquet, he would only be gone for about a week.

However, Noel shook his head helplessly and said, "No. It's going to be a month."

"A month? Why? Are you going to do something?"

"Not at all. If that Duke Raymond is like what has been described, then he will be sending a slow carriage to the capital city. If I go by myself, it will be the same as challenging the royal family. In other words, I will be stuck in that carriage for a few weeks. And they will definitely delay the ceremony for a bit.

"So, my original assumption is that… I will be stuck in that carriage for about three weeks. An additional one week for the delay." Noel shook his head helplessly.

"This…" Anna sucked a cold breath. With Noel gone, Anna had to remain in this place for a while as the future lady of the Ardagan family.

And people would definitely think that Anna was much easier to deal with than Noel.

This was why Noel wanted to show his trusted vassals that they could trust Anna.

Anna fell into deep thought before saying, "So, they are planning to do something while you're gone?"

"Yes. They are most likely going to pressure you. I am not sure who will be coming, but I doubt that the Third Prince and the Void Arbiter will be able to do anything right now. From my speculation… I believe it'll be the Crown Prince."

"Ah." Anna's expression turned grim. The royal family definitely tried to marry her to the crown prince, so they might use this chance to attack her.

Anna didn't bother to ask whether Noel was alright or not. After all, she believed that Noel was capable of going against that duke.

In other words, the problem would be in this territory.

Before Noel revealed everything, he asked, "So, what do you think will happen?"
