System vs Rebirth Chapter 549 Threat

Chapter 549 Threat

"!!!" Christina widened her eyes in shock. She was surprised at first, but she immediately calmed down to think about the implication. She glared at Noel and said with a cold tone. "Your words are not light, Noel Ardagan."

"Of course. If Countess Christina can support me, I don't have any problems removing those two n.o.bles."

"It seems that my support is crucial… If I say that I don't have any interest and use this information to alarm the Count and the Marquis, I can gain some stability for a while. Don't you think so? After all, they are more worried about the remnants of the Ardagan Family instead of me."

As expected from a woman that could succeed a n.o.ble house, she still managed to threaten Noel back.

Noel seemed to have prepared for this. He still looked at her calmly while saying his pieces. "Unfortunately, you can't do that."

"Hoh?" Christina narrowed her eyes. "It seems that you have underestimated me, Noel Ardagan. I thought you were as sharp as your father, but I guess, the rumor about you was true."

"I should be the one to say that. It seems that because I'm still this young, you underestimate me, Countess Christina." Noel pointed down. "I'm watched by the Third Prince right now since I'm extremely important to him right now. Hence, the news of me visiting you would have reached the Third Prince's ears as well.

"Although the Third Prince has been weakened after the throne war, you should know that his force is still something to be reckoned with, right? If you're trying to betray me, then you should be ready to face the consequences." Noel smirked evilly as if everything had gone according to the plan.

"!!!" Christina was not the only one who was shocked by that statement. Rose also felt chills down her spine.

Noel actually took advantage of the Third Prince surveillance to threaten Christina. There was no proof of it, but if this was right, Christina would face a huge backlash, one that might destroy her family. So, if she didn't cooperate with Noel this time, she would be implicating her family, the one thing that she didn't want to do the most.

Christina gritted her teeth. "It seems that I've truly underestimated you. I guess a tiger's son is also a tiger."

As a n.o.ble, she obviously knew about what happened during the throne war and the fact that the Ardagan Family lost everything after that war.

But looking at Noel's current strength and his influence, it seemed that Noel still retained a lot of power the Ardagan Family had hidden.

And the connection to the Third Prince was crucial.

"You're trying to blackmail me, you know that…" Christina looked at Noel coldly.

"Of course. Though, I'm doing the same thing as you…" Noel shrugged.

Christina gritted her teeth. The fact that the Third Prince was going to be involved in this matter, meant she couldn't escape from this problem.

And if they succeeded, the annoying n.o.bles would disappear. So, Christina accepted with great difficulty.

"It seems that we're going to work together for a while."N0v3lTr0ve served as the original host for this chapter's release on N0v3l-B1n.

"Great choice." Noel smiled.

Christina took a deep breath, never expecting someone who had just reached adulthood to be able to pressure her like this.

She called the butler for tea before asking, "Alright. It seems that we're going to have a long discussion. Tell me about your plan."

Noel nodded. He immediately took out the rune book he had written.

In that instant, Christina widened her eyes. She was still one of the leading Spirit Magicians in this kingdom. She even almost succeeded the Fire Lord's position.

So, when Noel showed her the rune book, she instantly recognized the symbol.

"This is… Spirit Enchantment? But how… This is more complete than the version I've seen… Will this even work? But the symbols look perfect unlike the Spirit Enchantment…"

Christina gasped.

"I want you to help me distribute this book."

"Huh? If the knowledge contained in this book is true, then you should know the immense power this book has, right?" Christina gritted her teeth. As expected, even Christina was influenced by greed. She wanted to study it and took advantage of the power of this book.

However, Noel shook his head. "This book holds too much power. I… No, even if the entire kingdom has it, this book's power is still beyond that. I've judged that it's better to spread the knowledge instead.

"The details will be decided by me. As for you, I think you should be able to make a connection between this book, the n.o.bles, and the Third Prince, right?"

"!!!" Christina's body shook as she couldn't believe what she had just heard. "What? Are you serious?"

Noel nodded.

"You want them to think that these books are in their possession. And by taking advantage of that situation, I can spread the knowledge under their names. So, I can satisfy your condition while using that information to deal with those annoying n.o.bles.

"But the fact that you mentioned the Third Prince bothered me… It seems that the Third Prince knows about this book. Are you sure you're not using me as a scapegoat as well?"

Noel smiled. "Of course not. I know that you still considered my father your ally, and I'm not planning to harm an ally.

"And as one of the leading Spirit Magicians as well as one of the few allies of the Ardagan Family, I think everyone can understand why I ask you to help me with this book, right?"

"Well, it's true that the ones who can apply the Spirit Enchantment are mostly blacksmiths, but the ones who can put more theories and research about them are Spirit Magicians like me. It won't be strange to leave that book to me…" Christina looked down. She could understand what Noel wanted and how he planned to do it.

And the fact that Noel, who just became an adult, made this plan and managed to 'threaten' her to become an accomplice showed what kind of political figure he could become in the future.

That thought couldn't help but make her shudder.
