System vs Rebirth

A week later.

Noel was looking out the window before turning back to his book.

'Ardagan. This is boring. Is it the right time to get the reward for the spirit information?' Noel asked in his thoughts.

[You will need a good and comfortable place. And more importantly, it's better for you to not be disturbed by others.]

'Is this reward that important?'

[I can guarantee you that you won't be disappointed.]

'Still, this is boring.' Noel had been wondering what he should do. He had been writing a lot in his notebook. It was the current status of Ardagan, his plan of development, and his own analysis. Once he returned to the Ardagan family, he could use this note to speed up their progress.

'Well, there is something I can do to speed this up. His territory is far away from me, so I think it's fine.' Noel thought of an evil idea.

Earl Silmer had been observing him this whole time, but as expected, there weren't a lot of things to do inside the carriage.

"You have been staring at me the whole trip, Earl Silmer. If you are someone of my age, people will think that you are smitten by me." Noel looked at him with a disgusted expression.

Earl Silmer was startled, not expecting Noel to open such a conversation. He coughed to recompose himself before saying, "Please don't smear my reputation, Earl Ardagan."

"Do you really have a reputation to begin with? Your people are so lazy that we have only reached this far after a week of travel." Noel complained. He even opened the window while saying, "Your people are so weak that their walk is so slow. Why don't you change your territory name to snail? Snail City? Sounds like a good name for you, no?"

Earl Silmer's expression darkened. "Earl Ardagan. I haven't said anything bad about you this whole time. Why are you personally attacking me?"

"What do you mean I'm attacking you? I'm just doing my analysis." Noel shrugged. "I wonder if there is an animal slower than those two… Maybe they are more suitable. No, they might be faster than you."

"Earl Ardagan!" Earl Silmer gritted his teeth, glaring at him. Even the soldiers felt uncomfortable when they heard Noel's comments.

"I wonder if your family name is inspired by Silver. Silmer and Silver. They are pretty close, right?" Noel smiled.
