System vs Rebirth

"I've returned, Grand Protector." The prime minister of the Atracaeca Kingdom kneeled on one knee before the Grand Protector and other Great Protectors.

"Mhmm. I believe you have brought good news for us, am I right?" The Grand Protector asked with a grim expression.

"Yes, Grand Protector. The connection with the Ardagan family has been established. The condition is actually much more favorable for us than anything we've imagined."

"Is that so? Can you recount everything for all of us here?" The Grand Protector asked.

"Yes, sir."

…

Ten days ago.

The prime minister and Noel were sitting in front of each other.

The prime minister felt pressured. He didn't want to mess up this meeting. At the same time, with his power as a Great Protector, he could see Noel's true strength. No matter what he did, he couldn't defeat Noel.

"I have read the official letter from the Atracaeca Kingdom. I'm looking at it positively…" Noel didn't beat around the bush since it would just make the situation more awkward.

"!!!" The prime minister's eyes lit up.

However, Noel raised one finger. "But before we reach that point, shall we discuss the condition?"

"Ah, yes!" The prime minister nodded. As a great noble, there was no way Noel would just swallow the extortion from their second prince. In addition, the Atracaeca Kingdom is utilizing the trade ban because this would be their chance to settle their grievance.

The prime minister raised two fingers. "I've heard that your territory is currently in need of materials. So…"

Noel raised his hand, stopping him. "I apologize for stopping you here, but I'd like to decline your support regarding this."

"Mhmm?" The prime minister raised his eyebrows, not expecting that Noel would reject him so flatly. "What do you mean, Marquis Ardagan?"

"You're misunderstanding something. My territory isn't really facing any trouble."

The prime minister couldn't help but frown. He thought, 'Is he underestimating us? No. He might stop me because it's rather useless to send those materials because the cost will be much higher. This place is located in the very north of the Muivell Kingdom, while our capital is located in the very south. They are the exact opposite and it'll take days, if not weeks, to travel.
