System vs Rebirth

While the four nobles were panicking because of their lack of funds, Noel was relaxing in his office. There wasn't a lot of work because of the lack of supplies. All he could do was wait until the situation was resolved before restarting all the projects again.

"Master." Charlotte entered his office with a worried expression. "Are you sure you're not going to meet them?"

Noel knew what she was talking about. He shook his head while saying, "No. It's hard for them to reunite like that, so it's fine for Anna to have some private time with her family. I'll meet them tomorrow. Instead of that, have you prepared their accommodation?"

"Yes. In fact, the lady is the one mostly taking care of everything."

"That's good then. How about Laivaen City?"

"A few nobles have arrived. The rest will most likely arrive by tomorrow or the day after. Dimitri is the one taking care of the problem over there. Howard has also been dispatched to ensure security over there. Harley has reported that there's no abnormal situation yet."

"Well, if they mess with me during the ceremony, no one will bat an eye if I declare a territorial war. So, I don't think they're going to ruin the ceremony. However, tell Dimitri not to let his guard down and eliminate the spies."

"Understood." Charlotte nodded. She stood there for a moment, staring at Noel as though she wanted to say something.

"Is there something wrong?"

Charlotte didn't reply immediately. Instead, she remembered all the memories of when she served Luke.

"Master. The young master is lazing around the garden again. Are you not going to punish him? If this continues, I'm afraid the young master is going to become a bad lord."

Luke only smiled. "Are you sure about that? You've been following me since you were young, Charlotte, so it can't be helped if you use me as the model. However, Noel is much more amazing than you think. If you don't believe me, you can ask the maids around him."

Charlotte didn't understand what he was talking about, but she followed his instructions and asked around.

When she asked, "Has the young master harassed you?" The maid always replied, "No way. The young master is very gentle. He has never touched me in that way, and whenever I feel like my legs are going numb, he will always ask me to stand up and change with another maid. I don't even know how he is aware of that."

Surprised, Charlotte went to a second maid with another question. "Do you have any trouble working with the young master?"

The second maid shook her head. "In fact, all my trouble is gone because of the young master. He talked with us from time to time. I once had a problem with my family, and the young master offered me a solution. From that point on, everyone in my family has always been in harmony."

Not believing the outcome, Charlotte asked the third maid, "What do you think of the young master's behavior? He is too lazy. He has to learn how to become a good lord."
