Reincarnated to Bonk in Another World

Chapter 54: Travel

"So, what's your name?" Yale asked as his eyes brightened, knowing that someone who could wield two elements like him appeared before him.

Albert, on the other hand, thinking, 'Isn't this supposed to be the scene of me saving his ass? Why am I being dragged like this? Ugh, I should learn more about this world. Luckily, they're not hostile.

'If they wanted to kill me, I would have been dead.' Albert gulped down before answering, "My name is Albert Gran."

"Albert Gran?! You have a surname?"

"Is it wrong to have one?" Albert tilted his head in confusion.

"Hmm, there are rules in all Demon Kingdoms. Normal citizens will only have a given name. Only those who rule over a legion or you can say nobles, can be the one to receive a surname.

"Then above them is the royal family. Only we can have a middle name." Yale explained with a curious expression, wondering which noble house Albert came from. "So, where is Gran Territory? This is the first time I have heard about it.

"Hmm, I'm sure I have remembered all the major households across all Demon Kingdoms, so you must come from a lesser household."

'So, it's not normal? I just got my previous name I didn't come from a big family or anything.' Albert said inwardly before explaining the same story he told Aran previously.

When Yale heard about Albert's living conditions and lack of common sense, he somehow misunderstood him and looked at him with tears in the corner of his eyes.

"I thought I have suffered enough, but it seems my fate can't be compared to you." Yale wiped his tears and said, "You must be beaten by your parents because you have two elements as they think of it as a curse of the family.

"I have always hated my condition, but after hearing your story, I have realized that I still have a house, maids to take care of my house, and Yennex as my butler. I can grow stronger and live calmly because of all these people.

"To think I hate myself because of that kind of lifestyle I don't know what to say. Throwing me away? My father has given me so many things to let me grow up enough. Now that I'm eleven years old, I should be independent.

"My life is like a blessing compared to you. I didn't get beaten by others In fact, I can see now I only have two setbacks in my life." Yale let out a long sigh. "I was thrown away by my father and my fiancee abandoned me because she knew I was cursed."

Albert scratched the back of his head, wondering whether he should solve the misunderstanding or not. In the end, Albert chose to remain silent about the whole truth and said, "Well, I have my own life now. I am free. I can decide my own path without anyone forcing me anymore."

Seeing the smile on Albert's face, Yale couldn't help but smile back. "That's right. You're so positive, Albert."

"Thank you. However, shouldn't you keep your personal life a secret? Especially someone in your position"

"It's fine. It's fine. No one cares about me anymore other than Yennex, so it doesn't matter whether I tell them about my life or not as long as it's not the kingdom's secret." Yale smirked.

"Is that so?" Albert tilted his head in confusion, wondering if this was the norm in this world.

"That's right. Why do you want to go to the Gluttony Kingdom?" Yale asked.

"I already told you the reason."

"You decide your own path?"

"Yes."

"But why there?"

"Because it's the closest kingdom that suits my condition? I can't live in this succubus kingdom, so my destinations are either the Gluttony Kingdom or the Pride Kingdom."

"In that case, why don't you come back with me?" Yale's expression brightened as if he had just seen hope.

"Ehm, what?" Albert flinched for a second, not understanding what the kid wanted.

"I mean, since we both suffer the same fate, your presence can console me. At the same time, I will try my best to protect you." Yale smiled. "It's not like you have a destination, right?"

"Yes, but" Albert looked down, contemplating this choice.

"I am visiting Borsoli Town because the succubus queen is asking for a meeting with the neighboring kingdom due to something. So, after meeting her, I will return to my own territory."

"Well" Albert didn't know what to choose. On the one hand, this was a good start, considering a prince would guarantee his safety. Although the prince had some sort of difficulty, he was still a prince.

On the other hand, he didn't feel like losing his freedom anymore. He wanted to explore the world and enjoy this life to the fullest. There was no way he was going to serve someone in this life.

After a moment, Yale just realized what he asked him and gasped. "Ah! Sorry, it was inconsiderate of me.

"You just escaped your parents' influence After suffering so much, you must want to avoid coming to another influence. Sorry"

"No, no." Albert made a troubled look and explained. "To be honest, what I desire the most is freedom. Now that I can choose my own path, I would like to travel the world and live my life to the fullest. That's all I desire."

Yale saw the genuine feelings reflected in Albert's words as he was somehow amazed by Albert's desire.

It was a simple desire but interesting enough to move Yale's heart.

"That's a good goal!" Yale smiled. "I also want to travel the world! How about we go together?"

"Young Lord!" Yennex called his name, worrying about his well-being.

"What? Since my father has thrown me out, why should I stay in the kingdom? I am the sixth son of the Pride Kingdom's Werewolf King, but not many people are aware of my appearance or presence because of this curse.

"It shouldn't be a problem if I travel around the world with him. He seems to be interesting as well, so the journey shouldn't be that boring. And who will even care if I die?" Yale pouted.

Yennex wanted to rebuke him but had no words to say. After all, Yale always emphasized the fact that his father had thrown him away.

He knew that the king had abandoned him, considering how he didn't even do anything when his fiancee broke off the engagement.

He tried to think of a way to keep Yale in the kingdom, protecting him from unknown dangers. "That's right. You shouldn't keep bothering him If you travel with him, it means he has lost his freedom again."

"But I will be his traveling partner, not his leader or something!" Yale complained, correcting Yennex's words.

"But the world is scary."

"Then, are you telling me that I need to die in the land that I own even though you know the fact that people don't like me? Do you want to torture me?"

Yale kept fighting back with all reasonable excuses with the addition of his childishness. Even Yennex didn't find a way to fight back.

After a while, Yale let out a long sigh and said, "I am tired of being scrutinized by all those people, especially Enasta.

"She kept clinging to me in the past and tried to be with me for as long as I could remember However, the moment everyone knew about my two elements, she immediately threw me away.

"I still remember how she looked at me with that cold gaze She always smiled in the past, but every time she met me, she always looked down on me, spited me, and flaunted how her new partner was better than me.

"Even the maids looked at me fearfully as if I would bring bad luck to them I am sick of it. I just want to search for my happiness even if I need to travel around the world." Yale expressed his sadness while clutching his chest.

Even Albert fell silent when he heard about Yale's story. When he heard about his fiancee, Bonkey even added.

[Kindred Spirit.]

'What?' Albert widened his eyes as he asked, 'Bonkey! What do you mean by kindred spirit?'

[He seems to have fed up being lied to by that girl. He won't be horny anymore because he just wants to be happy.]

'' Albert was speechless when he heard it. He shouted, 'You're not going to tell me that he's a perfect candidate to be a Horny Police, right?'

[Why ask if you already know?]

'Are you kidding me? You want me to make a prince my subordinate or my disciple? The former is impossible because he's a prince while I'm still far weaker than him. There's no way I can do it.'

[I am just showing you that he's the candidate of Horny Police. It's your choice whether you want him to be one or not. I'm not going to force you.]

'Well' He fell silent for a moment before saying, 'To be honest, he's a kind guy and has gone through a lot despite his young age. Maybe I should travel with him After gaining his trust for a while, I can ask him to be my disciple or subordinate'

[That's your choice.]

While Albert was talking to Bonkey, Yennex had given up persuading Yale. He ended up asking Albert to persuade Yale. "You should tell him that he's bothering you too."

Hearing those words made Albert feel a bit embarrassed, especially since Yale looked at him with a sad expression as if he wanted him to support his decision.

Albert thought for a moment and said, "To be honest, having a companion in your journey is good. After all, you won't be bored on your journey and there is someone to help you.

"However, if you're going with me, I can't guarantee anything. First of all, I'm poor because I just started from zero a few days ago. I only have a few silvers with me, which is not enough.

"Second, I have no strength yet to protect my party. That's why it's impossible to say you're going to be alright if you want to travel with me. I don't want my own incompetence to kill someone.

"Third, I think everyone has their degree of freedom The most important freedom of all is the ability to decide. You should be able to decide what you want to do." Albert smiled, explaining his views on this matter.

Yale's eyes blinked a few times before a big smile appeared on his face. "That's right. Although I don't have access to the treasury, I still have some savings that can last us for a while.

"As for your strength I can protect you! In fact, because we're an anomaly, we can try to work together to know whether there's a catch to our power. This way, we can get stronger together and by the time we know it, we will be a good partner.

"Last but not least, this is my life. I should be the one to decide what I want to do." Yale felt like he had gotten a good insight from Albert.

"What? I am just considering your safety, Young Lord"

"I know, I know. But I don't think I want to live in that cage anymore. You also can't follow me. If not, I wouldn't have the chance to get stronger since you're going to kill all my enemies before I can react" Yale pouted, spitting back on Yennex, who had been trying to persuade him.

"Wha!" Yennex obviously bewildered while gritting his teeth, wondering what Albert fed to make Yale this way. But deep down, he knew Yale couldn't be happy as long as he stayed in his house.

"That's enough. I have decided to go! You should take care of my house as I will return once in a while. Of course, I will constantly send a letter to you to show my progress!" Yale made a smug smile.

'I got him.' Albert smirked inwardly while thinking, 'Now I kinda feel bad for influencing this innocent kid to follow me'
