Reincarnated as the Demon King's Son

Aldred lay on one of the bed before Bartrem and Mary entered the barrack.

”Are you comfortable, Aldred? ” Mary asked.

It wasn ’t as comfortable as his bed in the floating castle, but it was better than the cold and hard brick that he used to slept on in his past life. ”I am comfortable. ”

”Comfort is not our first priority as a soldier, ” Bartrem started. ”I hope you keep that in mind. ”

Aldred smiled with a sigh. As a homeless, comfort wasn ’t his first priority either. He would sleep near the landfill, or under the bridge. Anywhere he wouldn ’t be seen by people. People were evil. They ’d kick him for no reason and threw rocks at him. Aldred just arrived here less than an hour and he was reminded of his past life all over again.

All the rainy days where the ground was cold, and all the summer heat where his throat burn. He was humbled again in less than a week. The world was harsh. His parents gave him a childhood fantasy where parents and siblings love each other unconditionally. That made him forgot who he really was for a moment, but he was back again to the shit hole of reality.

But this time he could fight. He had a purpose. Taking the steering wheel and returning to his floating castle. If he do that, he could wait for his parents in comfort.

Bartrem felt bad to say such word to a ten-year-old child. The emperor was too ruthless this time. Thankfully the empress saved this boy ’s life even with the risk of a civil war. The emperor and the empress might look like at peace at one glance, but their subordinates were like two silver back apes. They were battling out constantly to dominate each other.

”You have to be strong, Aldred. Stronger than most of us. Thankfully, your strength are higher than average. So can you use a sword or a spear? ”

”He ’s a magician, ” Mary said. ”And a necromancer. ” She left out the vampire part.

”A magician isn ’t compatible with my unit. Our job is to push through the front line, and shock the enemy to let our rear deal the killing blow. ” Bartrem didn ’t even mention the necromancer part because it took a long time for necromancer to have a strong undead. Aldred was just a child, Bartrem did not have any expectation about his undead at all.

Aldred strengthened his will inside and stop being the naive kid that was loved by his parents. Now, he was the kid that was thrown into the street. He was the kid that survived for many years scrapping for food in the trashcan. He was that kid who fight other homeless people because they tried to stole his things.
