Chapter 12: Son of a Duke

Rein who had waited for Duke Erin to be back so he could tell him of his adventuring dreams, but received a letter 3 months ago from The Duke himself telling him his journey would take longer than expected. He was beyond sad, from the thought that he'd stay level 14 for three more months.

Yes, for over nine months now, Rein had not leveled up once, with him knowing how important leveling up is, it was very devastating for him. But finally, there's hope for him, the person he had long waited for like a groom waiting for his bride was standing before him, smiling but the thing is... Reinard was grim

(it is the end for me)

Duke Erin when he arrived earlier, sat with Rein and begged for a favor, He apologized first to Rein telling him he had registered Reinard's name on the Family register of all nobles that the Empire holds, Ever since building the abattoir and finding it easy to deal with Deb Oxies, Duke Erin has been making fortunes, the alcohol gotten From Deb Oxies meat was addictive and wanted everywhere in the world, even far north. Now Duke Erin was the Richest Noble in the Empire, the Emperor had personally called him and begged him to support the empire with his riches, after which he was asked to submit his family register. Duke Erin knowing that if the Empire finds out he has no heir, to succeed his great riches, they would probably kill him and swallow up his fortunes if he does not have an heir, then put down Reinard's name as his heir.

... This was not the problem... the problem was

.....

... the sons and daughters of all nobles below 20 years of age were asked to go to the greatest academy in the world along with the 4 young princes and 2 princesses of the Empire, and now Duke Erin was begging Rein who had been dying to go into the outside world for over nine months...

"I know I do not deserve this Mr. Reinard and I know I have been too full of myself, having you around my manor felt like I had my son around, I had someone to look after, I had someone to leave home to. My life has been meaningful since your arrival Mr. Reinard"

"...(it's not like I can refuse this man, damn begging me like that, he sure knows how to corner someone...well it's not too bad... He's the richest in the Empire and I'm his heir... Not to say I'm the son of a duke... Even though I don't earn the title I'm still a noble...)... .. ..... .... Well if I'm your son will you keep calling me Mr. Reinard "

The Duke's eye shone brightly as he heard these words, he was happy, he hugged Rein closely as tears formed in his eyes...

" I'll treasure this for eternity my son... M... Reinard. "

(ahh so much affection that I'm gonna puke... I hated this even when my dad did it... Am I being given another chance to feel love again)

As Rein was in his thoughts the blue tabs which rarely popped up... finally pops up.

Duke Erin looked at Rein affectionately.

"First let's call it a night I'll talk to you about the academy Tomorrow trust me you'll love it!"

As Duke Erin joyfully whistled and walked to his room Rein fell to the chair and began to talk to himself as he would do when he plays a game alone.

"f@#k the god of sadness, giving me two levels because of pity... You should pity yourself... God of sadness... Your title is a joke hahaha"

[the god of sadness has taken back his levels]

[you have lost two levels]

Reinard's eye widened... This meant something to him

(they are watching us... Probably through the system... They can see us... Did they bring us here... Do we have to fight them to go back to earth)

Rein was smart to think his opinion if they could hear and see them... That means he can't just voice out anything... Rein went through his titles, he cussed out when at some and smiled blushingly at some.

..... ¬

Duke Erin and Rein were seated in the convenient room on the second floor it was a small room and had soft chairs for relaxing, the room was decorated with different paintings from around different parts of the world. Duke Erin sips his tea and began to talk.

" Mancraa acedemy is located in the Central Artic, it was created by the past legend from the three continents, and this Academy teaches anything, whatever path you want to take will be found there, not everyone can afford to go to this school, I mean they'll literally be sending off their kid to somewhere far off the continents, but recently the Emperor gave an order that the young princes and princesses, will be attending so all nobles should prepare their kids. The academy is very great and has no limit to what you can learn and become, you'll be going to school for two years. Afterward, you graduate, if you are strong enough you might even get the title of a duke... Who knows.

"aha... I'm thankful for this opportunity you've given, I feel so loved"

"if you feel like that then do me a favor and don't die...

the reason why many would not let their kids were, they always died, no one knew what happens there... I want to see you come back alive and strong"

"(f@#k he's sending me off even though it's dangerous, you must be in a tight spot too... Let's just blame that @#*##@#$&&# emperor)

I definitely will not die"

"yes that's my son that's the spirit, you'll depart in five days in the meantime let's go shopping and get every necessary thing you'll need. Miss Amelia!"

Duke Erin joyfully walks out as he calls out to the butler's name."

Rein looked at him and smiled...

"he's so full of energy"

(this all seem to be happening too fast for me, I came to this world to get stronger, and live a luxurious life alone, I am living a luxurious life, but this wasn't how I wanted it to be, now I have a father, I'm a rich kid and the son of the richest duke in the Forgan Empire, maybe the whole of the western continent, but I'm only a level 14, I'm sure other earthlings now would be in level 100, damn... Why can't I refuse this man... Not to say there's something about him that I do not know yet, there's a side of him, I have a hunch that side is either laying low or has been forgotten... Whatever I'm not gonna think too much at least in five days I'll be able to meet other people too agghh just thinking of the journey is intriguing)

"academy here I come!"
