Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Edeline Rose Wildingham, the empress of the Ceraisian Empire, put her slender hands on the luxurious texture of the railings. The balcony overlooked the sea where sailors boarded their ships, bringing tea, coffee, and other products to sell.

The war between Ceraisian and Montcresia started with a ridiculous and perhaps nothing too serious event. But the effect of the war was still felt by many families who had their sons and husbands never return after battle.

The boy that was sent to the frontline by the emperor was just one out of many. Many young men at the age of fifteen, when they should play in the field, had to lift their sword and drive it to the enemy ’s heart

War was inevitable. The rich state of the Ceraisian Empire, highly contributed by its naval cities, was eye-hungering, to say the least. Montcresia was rich in its natural resources of metal and copper, but they couldn ’t trade directly to the east without passing the border.

Her wish was to end the war quickly so may the sons and husbands return to their lovely dwellings. As for how that goal might become a reality, only time would seek.

The birds chirped, singing a song as sunset blessed the land with its light. Fresh morning air blew, making the grasses dance. The animals came out of their home and started their day by stretching their body.

All that, while Aldred was still sleeping, snoring.

Mary opened the door to the carriage and crossed her arms while she saw his saliva flow to the floor. She still couldn ’t believe what she saw last night, but after taking a closer look, she realized that his strength was really at the bronze stage.

His talent was impressive. Mary had heard all kinds of rumors about talented young boys around the kingdom. But, she had never heard about a young boy, ten years of age, who reached the bronze stage.

”Maybe he really is the empress ’ weapon. ” She decided to be a little nicer to him since that was the case.

She tapped Aldred ’s shoulder. ”Young boy, wake up. It ’s time to start your training, ” she said in a low tone, in contrast to her usual loud voice every morning.

”KAKH, ” Aldred snored. More saliva trickled from his mouth.

”Young boy. ” Mary slightly shook him.

Aldred turned around. ”No mother, don ’t. What if father sees us? ”

”Hey wake up, you little brat! ”

SLAP!

Aldred abruptly woke up, panicking. ”Run! There ’s an earthquake! ”

He paused and saw Mary staring at him with both hands on her waist.

’Ahh. I came back to reality. ’

”Sweet dream you got there, huh? ” Mary asked.

”Dream? What dream? ” Aldred turned his head and whistled. ”I never dream in my life. ”
