"Yeah, they have been knocking on the doors for hours, trying to wake you up. This is their tenth attempt," Rale explained to Ryder as he looked towards the door.

"Tenth attempt already? They're pretty active," Ryder let out as he smiled.

"Alright. Get back the hiding. I'll leave this Kingdom soon. I will catch you outside," Ryder replied as he walked towards the door.

He stopped right before the door and looked back, only to find the room empty. He smiled as he muttered, "He is good."

Ryder opened the door, only to find Aslina there with the guards.

"Ah, sorry. I was a little too tired, so I slept longer," Ryder said, rubbing the back of his head apologetically.

"Ah, it's fine. I was just worried about you. I thought something happened to you," Aslina said, lowering her head.

Ryder walked closer and hugged her gently. " Don't apologize. I should thank you for caring for me like this."

The guards started looking elsewhere, not to make the couple more uncomfortable.

Ryder freed Aslina and bid his farewell. "It's about time I leave now. Thank you for taking care of me so well. I really wish I could stay here for longer."

"Can't you stay here for just a little bit longer?" Aslina asked Ryder as she held his hand.

"I wish I could," Ryder muttered, sighing.

"I will be back soon. And after I establish my guild here, you will see me more often. Just a little longer," he added as he ribbed Aslina's head. He freed his other hand.

"Accompany me to the exit," he said before he started walking away.

He walked with Aslina towards the exit of the palace as he asked.

"Did you get the papers of the ground in my name?" Ryder inquired, thinking back to what they talked about yesterday.

"Yeah. I got my father to agree. Here are the papers. That place belongs to you now," Aslina said as she gestured to one of her maids.

The maid gave her the papers.

Aslina took the papers from the Maid and gave them to Ryder, "Here."

[You have received the Ownership Document of Land]

[Would you like to accept?]

[Yes] [No]

Without thinking much, Ryder respected yes.

[You now own a piece of land in the Tiara Kingdom]

Ryder received the notification.

"Nice," he muttered as he saw the notification on the screen.

He stepped out of the Palace before he bid her farewell and left.

****

Back in the Royal Palace of the Demon Realm, things were getting very chaotic.

Ryder and Rale had left the palace without telling anyone.

Miku was left to handle everything and to make sure that no one found out that Ryder had left.

As she got busy with her work, she gave the work to bring food to Mitali to another maid.

Miyali happened to be the Vampire Girl that Ryder had saved from persecution as soon as he entered the Demon Realm. No one in this once except Ryder knew that Miyali was a Half Demon, Half Vampire whose father was unknown.

Ryder also knew that she was able to keep her vampiric tendencies under control as long as she wasn't left hungry for a long time. Miyali needed to drink beast blood every once in a while to stay in control.

That's why Ryder had told Miku to take care of her food, not wishing to have any mistakes.

Miku didn't know that Miyali was a vampire. She didn't know how important food was to Miyali. She just thought of Miyali to be an important guest of Ryder, making her dump the food-related duties to another maid.

The maid she gave the duties to was even more lax, though. She gave Miyali food and on time, but he forgot the commands to bring her a dead beast body every week.

Ryder couldn't tell them to bring blood for Miyali as that was going to expose the fact that she was a vampire, so he used the excuse of freshly dead beasts. Miyali sucked the blood off of them while others believed that she ate the uncooked beasts.

Miyali was given cooked meat by the new maid, and it had been over a month since she was given a freshly hunted body. Whenever Miyali asked, the maid replied that she would bring what she asked for the next day.

Miyali kept waiting. As each day passed, she felt the urge to bite someone's neck to satiate her hunger. Her eyes also started to turn redder day by day, making her eyes look closer to a real vampire.

Miyali was walking back and forth in her room. Her eyes were bloody red by now as her heart thumped crazily.

"I-i will lose control if I don't get blood today. I hope that maid brings me the body today," she muttered as he placed her hand on her chest.

Soon, the door was opened.

Miyali hurriedly looked towards the door only to see the maid standing there with a tray that had cooked meat.

"Where is the freshly hunted body!" Miyali said impatiently.

"Oh, we weren't able to get one today. I will get you one tomorrow," the maid said, smiling innocently.

"You! I really need it now. Please do something!" Miyali insisted, feeling the urge intensify. No matter how much she tried, her gaze was only stopping at the maid's neck, which she felt like biting.

"Eat this for now. I will send people to hunt. You will get it by the evening. That's the only thing I can do," the maid said as she walked inside.

She walked closer to Miyali with the tray and walked past her. She placed the tray on the table.

As the maid walked past Miyali, her smell reached Miyali's nose, making her urge more intense. Her eyes turned even redder.

She couldn't control herself anymore. It was already too late. Her body wasn't in control any more as her vampiric urges took over. She didn't care about anything anymore. Her body was filled with strength as she lost her control.

She jumped towards the maid who had just placed the tray on the table as she closed her mouth and bit on her neck.

The maid struggled, unable to free herself.

As the maid struggled, she hit the table nearby.

The tray smashed on the ground, making a smashing noise, but no one entered the room as no one was outside to hear the noise.

Miyali sucked the blood of the maid, not caring about anything.

The maid's face turned pale, but she couldn't scream as her face was closed by Miyali.
