System vs Rebirth

"Anna. In your previous life, you've been dealing with them a lot. So, I want to know the impressions you have about the royal family, the Third Prince, and all the princes and princesses."

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly ask this question?" Anna's expression was filled with worry.

"I'm not sure about this, but I feel like the reason why there was a rebellion back then was because of them." Noel hesitated for a moment before finally explaining about the meeting he had with the third princess.

Anna couldn't believe what she heard. She recalled all the information carefully before saying, "This is weird. The third princess is rather… How do I say this? Plain and lack of free will? The only thing I know about her is the fact that she is like the doll of the royal family, doing everything she can because the royal family wants her to do it."

"But the third princess is definitely different. You should know about my medal, right?"

"Do you mean the Affection Medal?"

"Yes. This is the only way for me to judge whether they're hostile or not. And from the way I see it, she is rather supportive and doesn't seem like a doll… more like she pretends to be one?"

"Does that mean she wants the throne for herself?"

"I don't know."

Anna thought for a moment. "If that's the case, I'll tell you about them from my memory. The king is a rather brutal person. To sit on that throne, he pushes everyone away. They only have two choices, either marry someone for the sake of the royal family's connection or die in his hands.

"However, the one that stands out the most as his opposition is the Third Prince. Even when he loses, the Third Prince's influence is not something that is easily dissolved. To pit me against you, they used my words to execute your parents.

"Even then, the Third Prince is still so strong and mysterious that not even the current king could defeat him thoroughly."

Noel raised a finger. "The nobles in the royal hall are not entirely loyal to the current king. There are still some nobles that side with the Third Prince, probably waiting for him to take over the kingdom."

"Yes. That's why if we talk about the rebellion, it will be the Third Prince, considering he is the only one powerful enough to take on the throne."
