Duke Anabald was momentarily stunned upon hearing this, but eventually agreed.
"Aqua-sama, I will do as you say!"
Aqua was in a very good mood after acquiring a saint.
Michael also received some good news.
"The host has successfully changed the storyline. Since Karnatia became one of Aqua's sect saints, her feelings towards Shlain Zagan Analeit have completely changed."
"+1W Attack Power, +1W Defensive Power, +1W Mental Power, +1W Physical Strength."
"You have not earned any special skill points, but due to your recent hard work, you have been given an opportunity to enhance your skills and ruling wisdom. In a short period of time, reincarnations in the Analeit Kingdom will grow faster!"
"Please make one or more plot changes during this time."
Reincarnations in the Analeit Kingdom are growing rapidly, making things easier for them!
Michael happily said,
"System, speed up time and leave the rest to me!"
The system responded seriously,
"Time has started... Accelerating!!!!"

A Few Days Later
Michael spent some time observing the Great Elro Labyrinth but dedicated most of his attention to inspecting the Analeit Kingdom. During this period, the growth of the three reincarnated individuals—Naruto, Karnatia, and Shlain—accelerated dramatically!
The most obvious improvement was in their physical growth.

A Few More Days Later
Naruto was born.
A few more days passed, and Shlain, Karnatia, and Naruto were about four or five years old.
The king once suspected he was being deceived, but after an evaluation by an appraiser, it was confirmed that the three possessed growth acceleration skills, making it impossible for him to act irrationally.
Now that the three had reached the age of four or five, they were scheduled to attend classes at the Royal Academy.
Of course, it was kindergarten class.

In the Classroom
Shlain, as usual, appeared weak. He sat alone at the back of the class, gazing out the window as if the whole world pitied him.
He glanced at Naruto, his younger brother, who was running not far away, and a trace of jealousy flickered in his eyes.
Indeed, it was just jealousy.
As his reincarnated memories began to awaken, Shlain grew to dislike Naruto, especially after realizing that Naruto had taken the identity of the hero he had desired.
On the other hand, Karnatia sat quietly next to Shlain. Now that she was a saint of Aqua's sect, she felt nothing for Shlain.
However, since the two were classmates before reincarnation and had been reborn in the same country, their relationship was relatively better compared to others.
The other children often surrounded them because Karnatia was a saint.
Being so young, the children spoke without hesitation.
"Karnatia and Shlain, you two seem so close."
Whenever he heard this, Shlain felt a spark of joy in his heart.
After all, his greatest advantage now was his prior connection with Karnatia as classmates before reincarnation. This made others mistakenly think they were dating.
Feigning embarrassment, Shlain brushed off the comments.
"Let's talk about this later, but I don't think there's an issue."
Karnatia, slightly displeased, directly responded,
"Shlain? What are you talking about? First of all, I don't like Shlain at all, and I'm not dating him. I am a saint of Aqua's sect and have devoted myself to Lady Aqua."
In response to Karnatia's bluntness, Shlain's eyes flickered with a certain coldness.
The reason for his current popularity was his good relationship with Karnatia.
Naruto came running by, panting and drenched in sweat, holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. He said to Shlain,
"Brother Shlain, these are the flowers you asked me to pick."
Shlain glanced at Naruto.
Looking at this boy who had taken the identity of the hero, he was filled with resentment.
Unable to show this resentment in front of others, he merely smiled and said,
"Naruto, thank you for your efforts. I intend to give these flowers to Karnatia."
"Here, Karnatia, these flowers are for you."
Shlain took the flowers from Naruto's hands and prepared to hand them to Karnatia...
