System vs Rebirth

The king ignored their reactions as he asked Raincart, “Is this your plan, Teacher?”

Raincart shook his head helplessly. “Even I was surprised when I was given this plan.”

“Given?” The words startled all of them. After all, the only person that would give this kind of plan was none other than the author himself. In other words, such a young man would be able to come up with all this and plan everything. It was terrifying.

“There are only two possibilities after telling me this. First, I am mobilizing my elites to assassinate the author himself to avoid future threats. As for the second possibility…” The king paused for a moment as his tone became heavier. “…is to have a friendly relationship due to the connection between you and me as well as the royal family and the Ardagan Family…

“And since you spread the knowledge already and come to this place without a fight, it’s clear that you want to achieve the latter… But there is something you forget, Teacher…” The king’s expression became cold as he threatened. “The decision lies in me. If I want the former, no one can stop me!”

“Of course.” Raincart seemed to be unaffected by the threat. He looked like he had given up on convincing him since his grandson had died. But it turned out Raincart had already prepared for this kind of answer. He added, “I apologize, but his plan also includes the other two kingdoms.”

“What?!” They dropped their jaws, not believing what they had just heard.

“Yes. I have spread the knowledge in the other two kingdoms as well. He also has made an arrangement for the Muivell Kingdom. In other words, no one can stop the spread of knowledge. All kingdoms receive the same amount of knowledge. The only difference is that this kingdom has me to tell you everything.”

“Everything was planned by him?” The king never thought he would have this much headache from someone who had just reached adulthood. He asked helplessly, wondering how talented this guy was.

When he saw Raincart nod his head, the king pinched the bridge of his nose, falling into deep thought.

After a few minutes, the king asked, “Before I say anything else, I think it’s better to ask this one question first. Teacher… What did he want?”

“My grandson’s vision was not limited to the Muivell Kingdom, the Greenwood Kingdom or even the other two kingdoms. He was looking far, far ahead…”

“Far… Wait. The Demons?!” The king gasped. “Even though all kingdoms are expanding our territories, we still compete with each other. But if he is looking at the demons instead of the four kingdoms, it means that he is trying to increase the level of the four kingdoms by spreading this knowledge in four kingdoms simultaneously.

“Although I don’t know the extent of these so-called runes, I can say for sure that the knowledge will surely bring a lot of bloodbaths. And if a monopoly manages to be created, then there will be a lot of civil wars.

“By spreading the knowledge simultaneously, he prevents all the bloodbaths while raising his prestige. Is this seriously a plan made by a young man?” The king couldn’t help but smirk. He felt overwhelmed and excited at the same time. “If only that young man is still alive, he can achieve a lot more…”

The Prime Minister glanced at the king and noticed the calm expression on Raincart’s face. “I think you are incorrect, Your Majesty. If he can come up with such a plan at that young age, it’s unlikely for such a person to die so easily. I’m assuming that this guy is still alive. He might be hiding his identity or hiding somewhere for some time… After all, the knowledge spread a few months after his death…”

“!!!” The king’s heart skipped a beat. “If such a person is still alive… he will be a terrifying figure in the future.”

He muttered out of reflex, but when he looked at Raincart before him, he realized something. He thought, ‘No, wait. Why would Teacher agree to this? I could use this excuse to punish the Ezenholm Family… Don’t tell me, Teacher is planning to use our relationship and the two families’ relationship to push me into thinking of an alliance… 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘦𝑡

‘If I become this young man’s ally, I will be able to get both his support and the Ezenholm Family… He knows about this and comes to the royal palace… So, that’s your plan.’ The king felt defeated. It was no wonder why Raincart could become his teacher in the past.

The king asked, “Teacher… I have two questions before I can make a decision.”

“Please ask anything, Your Majesty. I shall answer them to the best of my ability.”

“My first question. Is it possible to bring him to the Greenwood Kingdom?”

Raincart hesitated for a moment before shaking his head helplessly. “I am afraid not. I have met him in the past… All he thinks about is how to revive his family. So, I don’t think he will leave the Muivell Kingdom.”

“Then, the second question… If I betroth one of my princesses… No, the brightest among them, the second princess… Will you help me?”

Raincart shook his head, not because he didn’t want to help, but because he didn’t agree with the question. “I think you should ask the other princes and princesses whether they will let him live peacefully or not. My grandson will never attack someone without a cause, so…”

Raincart didn’t continue since it might cause some problems. However, the meaning was clear.

The other princes and princesses that were aiming for the throne would surely try to either befriend him or kill him.

“Still, it’ll be hard to handle the Muivell Kingdom for this…” The king muttered, falling into deep thought. It seemed that the two answers were enough.

He suddenly rose from his throne and declared his decision. “One year. Do everything you can to form a friendly relationship with him. Don’t let any princes and princesses learn about his existence.

“If we end up having friction between us, depending on the grudge, we will decide whether we will fix the relationship or eliminate him. Remember, the time limit is one year!”
