Noble Reincarnation: Born Blessed, So I'll Obtain Ultimate Power Episode 11: Episode 11

Ars, a boy with mismatched eyes, drifts through a cosmic nebula. Enigmatic voices declare a thousand-year reunion and speak of an exceptional child. Mechanical, celestial beings appear, hinting at ancient powers. The scene establishes Ars as a figure of unique destiny, marked by forces beyond human understanding. He seems confused, yet drawn into this otherworldly communication.

Back on solid ground, the common folk hail Ars as divinely chosen, celebrating his generosity with gold coins. The Old Man, Indra, observes with amusement and pride. The King arrives, questioning Ars about his earlier actions. Ars then teaches a kneeling knight about the true nature of a 'first-rate noble,' which is to accept aid and return more. The King looks on, a knowing glint in his eye, impressed by his grandson's cunning.

Ars, now with the King and Old Man in tow, publicly summons the mechanical warrior Rutilia. The crowd gasps and cheers as golden energy radiates from the imposing figure. The King, amused by Ars's flair for the dramatic, remarks on his composure. He then reveals his intention to abolish the Crown Prince's position, a decision that will shake the kingdom.

Inside the royal carriage, the King explains his disappointment with the current Crown Prince, citing past mistakes and a cruel disposition. Indra expresses concern about a vacant succession. Ars, ever the strategist, proposes a cunning solution: the King should create a secret will, physically inscribed on his own body or via magic. This would prevent forgery and ensure his true successor is undeniable. The King is delighted by the ingenious suggestion.

In a private chamber, the King prepares to formalize the decree. He entrusts the task to eunuch guards, whom he claims cannot read. Ars, however, observes a flicker of recognition in one guard's eyes upon seeing the decree. He quickly exposes the deception, revealing the guards can indeed read and are therefore compromised. Ars coldly suggests immediate execution for the deceit and punishment for the other, Cruise, for failing his duty.

Later, the King reflects on Ars's actions with his Butler. He muses on Ars's potential, linking him to ancient sages and powers. The King acknowledges Ars's extraordinary talent, recognizing he holds secrets beyond mere political acumen. He declares he will watch Ars closely, suggesting a deeper game at play than simple royal succession. He states that even his own child is unworthy if they cannot lead.

Ars leaves the castle, telling his knight Charlotte he is going to Crown Prince Albert's mansion. He dismisses Charlotte, trusting Albert not to harm him, a calculated gesture of respect. Upon arrival, Ars maintains his formal demeanor despite Albert's attempts to lighten the mood. Ars cleverly steers their conversation to Albert's famed garden, creating an intimate setting for his upcoming maneuver.

In Albert's beautiful garden, over tea, Ars subtly observes the twin trees Albert values. Ars then redirects the conversation to the King's summer retreat, revealing that Albert will be joining him. He delivers a carefully worded message, implying the King takes Albert not for closeness, but out of concern he would cause trouble if left unsupervised. Albert's anger and shock confirm Ars's psychological blow. Ars has driven a wedge between Albert and the King, using the King's own perceived kindness as a weapon.

Interspersed with the courtly intrigue, Alethea, a pink-haired singer, performs at 'The Ruby Blade.' Ars observes her, occasionally smiling. Her songs provide a melodic counterpoint to the political machinations. Later, Ars and Shirley watch Alethea's encore, even Albert seems to briefly pause in his troubled thoughts. Her presence offers a moment of aesthetic contemplation amid the calculated moves for power.
