novelThe King
| ← Ch.059 | Ch.061 → |
Reylin logged into the game, then strutted across the city.
He went to Layla's magic shop and spent some time with her.
He then returned to his walk.
A few players sent glances toward him while the NPCs sometimes mentioned his hair color or handsome features.
His fame hadn't reached the NPCs as much as it did players.
Reylin left the city and went to the forest.
In the forest, there was a mini-boss known as the Wolf King.
That wolf king had its cave, and Reylin used it sometimes for his base.
Once the Wolf King noticed Reylin coming in, he and his buddies made way for him, and they greeted the new master!
Even though the Wolf King had respawned a few times since the game's release, Reylin's Crown Ring left its beaming across a few reincarnations.
The Wolf King knew that the king had come!
"You are here already, " Reylin said to a certain young man who stood next to Sebastian.
That young man rose onto his feet, and he greeted Reylin with the utmost respect, "Yes. It's been a long while, Mr. Reylin."
"I heard you became a father. Do you have time for gaming?" Reylin chuckled as he shook the young man's hand.
Although that man was young, he was twenty-three years old.
His name was Alexander, and his in-game nickname was Alex Loyalty.
Reylin wasn't surprised that Alex became a father that early since he was an orphan. This young man never had a family, and he probably wished to become a good father for a good while.
"It's my job now, isn't it? I have to make up a lot of money for our family's saving accounts, Mr. Reylin." Alex chuckled.
Reylin reciprocated a smile, then said, "You will be the king."
Alex was one of the orphans that Reylin's father took care of.
Crowns had many foundations, and they helped citizens in various areas, but Reylin's father also went with a unique program. In a disguise of a school test, he tested a few orphans, then chose a few from each orphanage.
They had different qualities, and Reylin's father planned to prepare them for a future under his banner.
They would work on various projects, all for the country's well-being.
Alex was a person who was utterly loyal to the Crown Family, and he also was someone who knew Reylin.
He saw the bond between the father and son.
Although it took some time, Alex knew that Reylin wasn't waste or someone who would besmirch the Crown surname.
And Reylin had his own principles, which made his crazy deeds in real life bearable.
Reylin fished out two rings. Those rings had half of the crown each, and he passed them to Alex and Sebastian.
Alex put it on his hand while Sebastian had a different order, "Wear it in dire times in the Blue Rose's Kingdom."
"Yes, young master, " Sebastian paid heed to these words and bowed.
"Alex, " Reylin turned his eyes to the future king, "I don't care how and how long it will take, but don't take too much time. Work with Sebastian and use his intel, then climb through the ranks of nobility and take the throne.
Have fun and marry a cute princess. That will be an excellent end to your chapter one in this game."
"Young Master. There's only one princess, and she is far from cute, " Sebastian chimed in and corrected his young master.
Reylin spat, "Girls in love become cute for their sweethearts. Look at Alex. He has the experience and good looks."
"Indeed. Forgive my ignorance, young master!" Sebastian bowed, then inwardly thought, 'I think Yvonne will not become a cute lady, young master... That's wishful thinking!'
Had he not used her name today, Sebastian would've said it out loud.
Alas, he didn't want to play with fire.
Alex scrutinized the ring, "Mr. Reylin... Wouldn't it be better for you to become the king, though?"
"Hmm? Because you are married, you don't want to marry the princess? Well, that's the easiest route, I believe." Reylin titled his head, "You've got a free hand here, but don't cause genocide. There's no saint in the world, especially in the royalty and the noble circle. Still, I don't want innocent people to die en masse."
Alex waved his hands, "That's not it. It's a game, and I don't see my wife playing while pregnant... I mean, that would cause some severe problems. And this is nothing but a game. A relationship with an NPC can be fun gameplay.
Still..." Alex said with a troubled expression.
Reylin smiled widely, "We are all a big family."
His words made Alex stare at him with widened eyes. It seemed like a lot of emotions swelled his heart as he began trembling.
Sebastian was the same, so it seemed normal for both of them.
Reylin added, "My whole purpose is to become the flames. And you have my full support. By the end of the day, it will be me who will take care of the worst through the absolute strength called Reylin's flames.
You just take care of bothersome moves and be a king for me."
"Haha... Yes, I will be the king! I swear!" Alex bowed.
"Bitch Yvonne became closer with the nobility on the first day, " Reylin threw a tidbit, then took out a red fan.
That red fan was a present he'd received from Layla.
Since Reylin had cleared up one of her problems, her business shot up, and Layla would soon be out of the city.
Reylin also was rarely in the beginner city, so she gave him his birthday present today. No one knew whether Reylin would be in the game on his upcoming birthday, and Layla wanted to give the present herself, not through Monica!
Thus, she did it today.
Reylin enjoyed the hot breeze on his face.
"Young Master seems happy with the fan! It looks well made, " Alex and Sebastian said at the same time.
"My girlfriend gave it to me. She's quite busy, so this counts as a birthday present. I am more pleased than it looks, " Reylin said while looking at the flame design on his fan!
Alex said, "Girlfriend... Mr. Reylin surely enjoys his time here. Are you looking for polygamous relationships?"
"Of course, I am open for the businesses, " Reylin said, "So far, I've come across two worthy residents for long-term businesses. We will see how it goes in the future... The hardest part is to keep up the relationship, isn't it?"
"It is, Mr. Reylin, " Alex replied.
"Anyway, I am off for some gaming. Today's party looks quite hard to deal with on paper. I guess I will be reading my notes, " Reylin commented.
"Care to share, Mr. Reylin? You can't leave us curious like that!" Alex caught up and asked with a big smile.
The list appeared on his system.
[Ferocious Bear Lv. 34]
[Steel Melody Lv. 30]
[Lioness Lv. 37]
"That's true... Mr. Reylin has won a bet with Lioness, " Alex spoke with respect.
He saw what Lioness did on the battlefield through her stream.
Reylin chuckled, "I planned to use her to teach you the game and what she has learned so far. You can expect to have some lessons with her."
"Understood!"
And with those words, Reylin went to meet with the party.
