System vs Rebirth

Chapter 1557: Reactions

The result of the hearing had been posted officially. Some who could read immediately checked what they had found.

This was probably the biggest corruption that had come to light. But that was because of the demonic humans.

On the one hand, people wanted to believe these people were just greedy. On the other hand, the threat of the demonic humans was real.

Hence, they had no choice but to believe it. Besides, some proof had been listed together. With a lot of people attending the hearing, the word spread quickly among the citizens.

Obviously, Kevin didn't hesitate to send his own men to spread the word. As a close friend of Luke Ardagan as well as Noel's father-in-law, he would spare no effort in restoring their names.

"This is…"

"To think that there was such a thing happening that we were not aware of."

"I know, right? But I feel that ever since Her Majesty took the throne, the kingdom has gotten better."

"You are not the only one who can feel that. It seems that Her Majesty has been monitoring everything and waiting for the right time to punish the evil."

"It is such a shame that His Majesty Oliver became a demonic human."

"That's true. His Majesty was definitely bringing the kingdom up during the first few years of his reign. However, Her Majesty's rule had just begun. We could expect a lot."

"Still, don't you think it's weird for the Ardagan family to be cleared up?"

"I was wondering about that as well."

"It was actually true. The Ardagan family had sacrificed themselves. My friend was lucky to have attended the hearing. It appeared that the Ardagan family had been helping the kingdom this whole time."

"Is that why even the Grand Duke is helping us now?"

"I can't help wanting to visit the Grand Duke's territory. I heard it was a magical place."

"Who knows?"

The people discussed various things since the hearing covered a lot of topics. But the negative impression was minimal because of the people that had been used to spread the word.

Still, it didn't change the fact that this incident was considered a scandal for the royal family.

However, Wendy acknowledged this fact and gave some compensation to the victims. The royal family's coffer had almost been emptied, so the compensation was taking a toll on them.

This was when Noel came in. He was using the money he got to introduce the rune technology in the central area of the kingdom. With this, people would remember Noel and his product, while Wendy got a very cheap loan from Noel.

It was indeed a win-win situation for both of them. Once the Muivell Kingdom stood back on its feet, Wendy could finally feel rest assured.

…

Greenwood Kingdom.

"It looks like the time has changed. If this ruler is not attempting anything foolish, the Muivell Kingdom might prosper during her reign. And that's all because of the relationship with the Ardagan family…" The king fell silent.

He didn't know what to say. Ever since his relationship with the Raincart family turned sour, he had been under a lot of pressure. Another mistake that might lead to the Ardagan family might cause unrest.

So, he had no choice but to become a conservative, trying to mend the relationship that had been damaged once.

On the other hand, the Raincart family enjoyed their new level of prosperity. A lot of people wanted to get connected to the Raincart family.

After all, they knew how close Noel and Raincart were.

…

Atracaeca Kingdom.

"..." The Grand Protector just stared forward with blank eyes after hearing the report.

"Sir?"

The Grand Protector waved his hand. "The news is indeed surprising, but we probably have to focus on the demon kings now. It is true that Noel Ardagan has become a spirit king, but we don't know what will happen during the war.

"It will be good if the battle only occurs in the north, but if our kingdom has to fight too, I want everyone to be ready. In the case we're about to lose, we also need an escape route.

"Rather than focusing on the politics, it's better to handle what matters the most."

The Great Protectors couldn't help but agree. The Ardagan family was indeed important, but their kingdom had mended this relationship. Although their current partnership wasn't like other kingdoms, their relationship was quite good.

The Grand Protector had been working tirelessly for the past few months. He looked like he had aged a decade in just these few months.

Some great protectors and even some princes seemed to be biding their time to take the throne.

However, all of them came to a tacit agreement. If the war reached here, the one who contributed the most would definitely become the next Grand Protector.

…

Zaecuria Kingdom.

Unlike the two kingdoms, the Zaecuria Kingdom might be the one having the best relationship with Noel.

Unfortunately, due to their distance, the number of partnerships between the two sides was not many.

In addition, unlike other kingdoms, the Zaecuria Kingdom had launched the famous sea expedition with Noel.

At that time, they managed to find another land. Although the land wasn't as big as they had, if they ended up losing to the demons, they could run to this island and isolate themselves.

They were the only ones who had this information after all.

The king was doing his best to make more ships and even to prepare for war. With Noel protecting the Muivell Kingdom, they knew there was no chance for them to get a piece of the Muivell Kingdom.

Rather than wasting their energy scheming, they prepared for the war instead.

The ones who would play the most important roles in the upcoming war would definitely be the three guardians.

There was even a discussion of whether they should send reinforcements to the Ardagan family or not.

In the end, each kingdom had no choice but to do their best after knowing the full story about the demon kings. It was a threat they had never experienced before, so they worked tirelessly to come up with a feasible plan.
