Chapter 566: Meeting Again After a Few Years
Chapter 566: Meeting Again After a Few YearsAldrian, with his hand still lifting the sword high, swept his gaze toward the many troops below. His red hair was swept by the wind as he looked at his parents, who were looking at him with smiles. The Xin family and Baek Jimin with her sect near his mother’s camp were also looking at him with smiles.
He smiled and nodded back, though inwardly he sighed. He was glad he could boost the morale of both the populace and the troops. He had even used his sound laws, which carried effects capable of hypnotizing and stimulating the listener the moment his speech reached their ears. It was necessary, to pull the people out of their despair as quickly as possible.
What they needed was hope. Even though the situation was dire, they needed something to hold on to, and he was ready to become that, just as his followers had placed all of their hope in him.
The screens across the continent then disappeared, but the atmosphere was no longer gloomy and desperate like earlier. Aldrian’s speech still left an effect on them, and their spirit was still burning. Even those who still hesitated about whether to join the war decided to register as volunteers. Some even went by themselves to the border.
After the screens disappeared, Aldrian closed his eyes and
Now that the devils had seemingly begun the summoning process, there was no more time to waste.
His target was the devil lord.
He then looked at the leaders.
"Alright, I’ll send you back to your designated areas. I hope I’ll still see all of Your Majesties’ faces here alive once this war is over," Aldrian said, and the leaders responded with smiles.
"Yes, Alliance Leader," they said.
Aldrian was about to teleport them back to their areas of responsibility when he saw Sylphia with her true beautiful face already revealed walking toward him with quick steps. He wondered what she intended to do, but he froze in surprise as she suddenly tiptoed and kissed his cheek in one swift, unexpected motion.
Her unexpected act shocked many around them—none had expected the princess of the Ivory Empire to kiss Aldrian so suddenly.
The leaders were amused by Sylphia’s boldness and could only lament that they did not have daughters they could pair with him. Well, except for Sect Master Baek, who already knew her daughter and Aldrian shared a special relationship—Baek Jimin becoming Aldrian’s true harem member was only a matter of time.
As for Emperor Ladwin, well, he was in tears of happiness.
Aldrian looked speechlessly at Sylphia’s beautiful face after she kissed his cheek, now blushing deeply. She lowered her head, which made him smile warmly at her.
"Be careful out there. You must return to me after this war," she said softly, which made his expression even warmer.
"Your order is my command, my queen," he replied, making Sylphia blush even harder.
After that, Aldrian finally teleported those he had summoned back to their areas of responsibility. Once they disappeared, he turned to his parents, who were approaching with smiles—but then his eyes shifted to the two figures following behind his mother. He had noticed them earlier, and now that he was free, he immediately walked toward them with an eager expression.
The two figures were an old man and an old woman. Aldrian had missed them dearly, as they were among the people who had taken care of him during his time inside the secret realm, especially after his parents left.
Irene allowed her son to greet them first, knowing how much these two had cared for him alongside Eleine while he was in the secret realm.
"Grandpa Wei, Grandma Wei, you’re here," he said as he stopped right in front of them.
Standing before Aldrian were Weijun Rivas and Lina Rivas—the two who had helped raise him during his time in the realm. After the meeting between the Flamecrest and Rivas families, Irene told Aldrian she wished to bring Grandpa and Grandma Wei back to the outside world.
Besides missing them, their expertise would also prove crucial in the war. Both were physicians, and Grandpa Wei was quite well known in the Rivas Grand Duchy. Aldrian agreed, so he deactivated the formation surrounding the secret realm’s entrance—the one he had originally created to prevent his mother from visiting him.
A day after the meeting, Grandpa and Grandma Wei were picked up by her and a group from the Rivas family, using wyverns to speed up the journey.
Now that they were here, all of the people closest to him from the secret realm had finally gathered.
"Young master, it’s been a few years since I last saw you, and yet you’ve already created so many miracles. As expected of my intuition, you’ve become the sun. I’m so proud of you, young master," Grandpa Wei said with a smile.
Aldrian smiled back at him.
"Well, I can’t embarrass my parents, so I have to do my best to make them proud," he replied, which made the others giggle at his answer.
"Truly, young master, you always surprised us, even when you were still so small in young miss Irene’s arms. I’m truly glad and proud that you’ve grown this far in such a short time. It’s still shocking, but it suits you, the wonder child, a child full of miracles," Grandma Wei said.
"This is also because of you, Grandma. You never got tired of me nagging whenever I came to your house in the secret realm, and you always took care of me. That’s why I’ve been able to grow this much," Aldrian said, prompting Grandma Wei to respond.
"Aish, look at how sweet this child is. I feel like I’ve gone back in time—back when you used to praise me all the time as a little boy. Seems like you haven’t changed at all."
The others giggled, and Aldrian chuckled along with them. But after a few moments of happy reunion, Irene looked at him with slightly worried eyes.
"So... you’ll depart after this?"
At her question, the others quieted and turned to Aldrian.
He gave a firm, confident nod in reply.
"Yes, Mother. I’ll depart after this. It’s better to go as soon as possible. After all, it wouldn’t be polite to keep ’him’ waiting," he said with a hint of a joke.
