Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son
chapter-271

Aldred put all the skill points to Magical Construct. That was when a wave of information struck him, and he realized something.

'I need a blueprint or make one to create this magical treasure.'

The reason his gravity pillar wasn't very potent was because he was a newbie in constructing magical treasure. However, if he had a powerful blueprint, he could follow it step by step and create something stronger.

Magical Construct: Lv. 3

Aldred smiled. He was quite satisfied with everything today.

"Do you like your gifts?" Bravar asked.

"These are wonderful gifts, Headmaster. It will surely be beneficial in my journey."

"I am sure it will." Bravar tapped his shoulder.

Aldred sighed with a smile. "I know this is a great victory for all of us, but I have an announcement to make."

"I am leaving."

The students were shocked.

"Where are you going, Master?"

"The construction of my fleet is finished, I have to continue my journey."

The students shed tears in their eyes when they heard that.

"Do you really have to go?"

"Yes. I have to go whether I want it or not."

A lot of people relied on him. He couldn't slack off. Not yet.

The students all cried and hugged him.

"Waaa! Master, we will miss you."

"Don't cry. You're a soldier! Puff your chest and wipe your tears!"

"Yes, Master!" They all stood straight, but the tears in their eyes couldn't be held.

"This is a farewell, but before that, let me give you something."

Aldred opened up a portal then 30 golems stepped out.

The students' eyes lit up when they saw this. "The training golems!"

"They are yours now. They can train you until you reach Gold Rank. Train diligently."

"Yes, Master!"

Aldred smiled. "Goodbye."

Twinkling particles enveloped Aldred, and he disappeared immediately.

The students all sighed dejectedly after that, but then Jeben shouted at them. "Don't be sad! Master will only leave temporarily. In the future, he will return to visit us, so before that happen we should train as hard as we can!"

The students all nodded in conviction and they started training against the golems.

…

Meanwhile, Aldred was back in his room. All his women greeted him with a smile as they waited for him.

"Are you ready to leave?" Mareona asked.

Aldred nodded. "We have to bring Zafrina home first."

They all walked out of the inn along with Bartrem and the soldiers.

"Aldred!" Saphira ran to him. "Are you leaving already?"

"I have to go."

"Can you stay at least for a few more days?"

"Time is ticking, Saphira. The more I wait, the farther my enemies will go."

Saphira clenched her fist in hesitation as she bit her lip. 'I… I want to come with you,' was what she wanted to say.

But she couldn't say it.

Holding tears in her eyes, she glanced at Aldred. "Farewell. Will I see you again?"

"You will. Sometime in the future."

Saphira hugged him. She stayed like that for a while until she released her arms.

Aldred smiled and stepped into his long carriage. The horned horses flapped their wings and pulled him to the sky.

Saphira waved her hands from below as Aldred soared through the sky.

It didn't take long for Aldred to arrive at Monthiviers City.

Landing in the palace garden, they saw Lord Aleron already waiting for them.

They all stepped out of the carriage, and Zafrina slowly approached her father. She turned around and saw Aldred and everyone else looking at her.

"Father… my friends are going to leave."

All kinds of emotions rushed inside her. She wanted to stay with Aldred and the others, but she had responsibilities at home.

"Leaving?" Lord Aleron raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were going with them."

"Huh?"

"What? Are you not going?"

"I can go?"

"I never forbid you, did I?"

Zafrina had tears in her eyes as she hugged her father. "Thank you, Dad."

Lord Aleron felt his heart melt under his daughter's arm. How long had it been since she called him 'Dad' like she used to do when she was a child?

"Go now. I will take care of everything here."

"Can you do it alone?"

Lord Aleron laughed. "Are you underestimating me? My own daughter is questioning my capabilities now? Did you forget who your father is?"

Zafrina chuckled. "I would never forget."

Both of them laughed a bit and talked for some time before Lord Aleron spoke: "Go now. Don't let your friends wait for too long."

Zafrina hugged him for one last time. "I am going now."

Lord Aleron glanced at Maverick. "Maverick, take care of your sister."

"I will, Dad."

Zafrina ran back to Aldred's side and glanced at her father. She waved her hand with a slightly saddened look.

Renwick walked out of the building and stopped beside Aleron as he looked at Maverick. "Don't stop your journey, Brother. I will be going after you."

Maverick usually felt annoyed or enraged by anything he said, but this time, he didn't feel anything. In fact, it felt like Renwick was cheering for him and motivating him.

"We will be going now," Aldred said. "Thank you for trusting your daughter with us."

"Don't make her cry."

Aldred laughed. "I will. Unless in bed."

"What?"

"Nothing." Aldred coughed a few times.

They talked for a bit before they got in their carriage.

Zafrina waved her hand one more time at her father as the carriages teleported into the sky.

Lord Aleron set his eyes to the sky with both hands behind his back. "Renwick, when he said that he will not make her cry unless in bed, what does that mean? Is this a new slang among the new generation?"

Renwick sighed. "I think it's better for you to not know, Dad."

His father had always been a master in politics, but sometimes he also could be dense in this kind of situation. Renwick was glad that his father was dense though. Otherwise, he would invite Aldred for a heart-to-heart conversation.
