System vs Rebirth

"What?" The king opened his mouth wide as if he couldn't believe what he had just heard.

Duke Raymond shuddered while thinking, 'What did the crown prince do in that place? We'd sent him so that he could pressure them to show him the main city.

'A normal complaint wouldn't really matter, but the ones sending it this time were the Sword Arbiter and the Moon Temple. Even the Ardagan family wouldn't let go of this opportunity.

'As the number one arbiter, we still have to listen to Duke Lorelei to a certain extent. Did he say the Moon Temple was questioning the Muivell Kingdom's decision by ruining the marriage?

'Since when did they marry? No, wait. For the Muivell Kingdom, the marriage would only be recognized after a ceremony. But for the commoners, who couldn't pay for it, they usually registered it with the government, which would get the approval of the temple to bless their relationship.

'Don't tell me… The Moon Temple had recognized it? As a noble, it wasn't that much of a problem for him to get it registered with the government. In other words, he had registered their marriage… But when? Wasn't his marriage ceremony still at least nine months from now?

'Even the temple wouldn't really recognize it if the ceremony was too long… unless they either moved up the schedule or got them to bend their rules.'

Duke Raymond instantly realized that it seemed to be the former. Noel moved up the schedule to the point where the Moon Temple had no choice but to recognize it.

As Noel said, he had made a decision to move up the schedule. And he used his sly nature to think of a way to take advantage of it and make that decision a good one.

With this, no one could shove Anna's spot as the main wife even if it was the princess.

And there was one thing that Duke Raymond understood after learning about their marriage. There was only one thing that could anger Duke Lorelei.

'The fact that their marriage had been recognized meant that Anna Stargaze had become the lady of the family. Did the crown prince take action against the lady of the Ardagan family?

'Even if he were a crown prince, there was no way he could do that. His action would be scrutinized, and if he wasn't punished, the nobles would definitely complain about this. We could shut commoners up, but nobles are different, let alone Noel Ardagan.

'Don't tell me… Did he plan this whole thing? He knew that the crown prince would be sent, so he moved up the schedule and set this trap where we have no choice but to recall the crown prince and punish him.

Duke Raymond gritted his teeth, realizing that they were defeated this time. He
