Devilia left with Ryder and went back to her place.

Ryder felt like the journey to the back was much faster than when they came. Or maybe his mind wasn't focused after everything he found out.

Devilia and Ryder landed on the balcony of her room. Strangely enough, she didn't say anything on the way back.

She only started talking when they got to her room.

"Why didn't you tell me that you were a demon as well? I was in the illusion that you were a human from the moment you told me that you were from the outside, " She asked him.

"What can I say? You never asked me, so I didn't say. I thought that you would know about me being a Demon since you were so knowledgeable," Ryder replied with a wry smile on his face.

"Cheh, I'm not a god. How can I know about that? Whatever I'm glad that everything went well. In 7 days, you'll be made Prince," She said.

"Yeah, I think now should be the right time to tell you that I'll be spending the next 6 days inside your hunting forest. I think staying there would be good for my growth. I'll come back on the 7th day, and we can complete the preparation for the big day," Ryder suggested.

"Alright. I won't try to stop you, but I'll come with you as well. Although no Duke other than Orisis voiced their opinions against you, I feel like there were a few that were not happy with the decision. They might try to target you if they find out that you've left. I'll stay with you for your protection," She said to him.

"There's no need for that. I don't need a babysitter. What would my master think about me if I kept you with me for my protection?" Ryder straight away rejected her suggestion.

"I'd much prefer to keep Bulga with me, but you don't need to come. Also, no one will target me. Who would be stupid enough to think that you would let me leave the palace in times like these? Even if someone comes, I can take care of myself. It's not far either. If there's a problem, I can message you, and you can get there in 4-5 minutes. So there's no need for you to come. Stay in the palace and let me have some fun on my own," He further added to his statement.

"Ahh, but..."

"No, buts! Please respect my wishes," Ryder insisted.

She looked at him for what seemed like an eternity before she ultimately sighed.

"Alright. I'd let you leave, but you must contact me if there is any problem. Also, you must disguise yourself before you leave. Take this," She said as she brought something out of a Spatial Portal.

It looked like a plastic mask that could only cover the left half of someone's face.

"It's called Mask of Change. You can wear it, and others will see you as a different person. You'd look like an average 7-foot tall demon. This way, no one would be able to recognize you when you leave," She said.

"Thanks. This mask will be a great help," Ryder took the mask and held it in his hands.

"When will you be leaving?" She asked.

"In the night, There are only a few hours left. I'd go tell Miyali that I'm leaving. You can tell Bulga about this plan in the meantime. He'd have to stay with me for 6 days," Ryder said as he turned back.

He was just 2 steps away from the door when he heard a sound that made him stop in his path.

'Sigh, it was so fun while he was silent. Why did he have to wake up? Also, why does his voice sound different?' Ryder thought with a wry smile on his face.

Janus answered him.

'Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm indeed happy that you're up. Anyways, why is your voice more feminine now?' Ryder inquired.

Janus did reply to him, but he didn't answer his question.

Mission: Tell Devilia your most embarrassing secret.

Rewards: An Invisibility talisman

Punishment: You would be teleported to the Death Domain,>

'Sigh, you just woke up, and you're back to your usual tricks,' Ryder thought.

"Is something wrong?" Devilia asked as she saw Ryder standing still right before the door.

"My first crush was on my Math Teacher when I was only 11 years old. I proposed to her as well, in front of the whole class," Ryder looked back and said to her, and before she could react, he hurriedly left.

Janus said.

He further added.

"It feels like you've grown worse after your upgrade. Now you want to enjoy my misery as well," Ryder said in an annoyed tone, and he continued walking to his room.

As Ryder left, Devilia was still standing in her room with a confused look on her face.

"What is a math teacher?" She let out as he looked towards the door.

Ryder entered his room and saw Miyali sitting on the bed. She had a paper and a pen in her hand and seemed like she was writing something.

"You're back. It took you a long time," She said as she placed the paper down on the bed and used the pen as the paperweight.

"Yeah, I had to go outside for something. I'd be leaving again in a few hours. I won't be back for like 6 days, I think," Ryder said as he stepped towards the bed and sat beside her.

He was surprised as he saw the paper. It looked like a drawing that looked like him.

"Oh, Ok," She answered.

"Yeah, Devilia will take care of you. You can ask her if you need anything," He said smilingly as he stood up and walked towards the shower room.

After 10 or so minutes, he left the place. He had changed his clothes, but his hair was still somewhat wet.

"I'm leaving," He said before he left the room.

He walked back to Devilia's room and saw that Bulga was already there. She had told him everything, and he was ready to leave.

Bulga got down to his knees as he greeted Ryder after he entered the room.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked Bulga.

"Yeah. I'm ready," Bulga said in a determined voice.

"You both should remember. You must contact me if there is trouble," Devilia said one last time.

They both nodded their head before they left on the flying beast of Bulga.

It didn't take much time for them to reach the Hunting Forest.

Ryder once again ordered Bulga to wait outside while he entered the forest alone. Since it was an order, Bulga agreed and let him leave.
