'Why is he here? Is he looking to get caught?' Rale thought as he saw Ryder walking on the streets.

He had thought that Ryder would lay low for a while since Ray was caught. He didn't expect him to come here.

'Is he worried that I'll expose him?' he thought as he sighed. 'He's here to silence me?'

Bad thoughts were floating in his head. He soon shook his head.

'It can't be. He wouldn't bring his sister here. Why did he come then? Sigh, I hope he isn't caught,' he thought before he turned back.

He knew that he was being recorded, so he didn't say anything. He even kept his expressions mostly normal.

He walked back and sat on his bed.

Just as Ray turned back, Ryder happened to look towards the building once more. He couldn't see through the glass, so he didn't see Ray. He was simply wondering which floor that guy might be at.

He and Alice went back to the hotel as it was already late at night.

The suite had two rooms, each with a Queen Sized bed.

Alice walked to her room and fell asleep.

Ryder wanted to do some thinking, but he wanted to give some rest to his body as well so it could be in its optimal condition in the morning.

He wore the Divinity Glasses and dove into the world of Divinity to spend his night there.

He wanted to do his thinking while he was hastening to go back to the Demon Realm.

"I'm here. Let's continue," he told Rale as soon as he found himself in the world of Divinity.

Rale held Ryder's hand and started flying once again.

Ryder soon flew above the Kingdom where the Princess was waiting for him, but he decided against going down and greeting her since it was going to take a long time. He needed to meet her, meet the King, make an excuse, and leave.

That was all an unnecessarily long process since he was in a hurry.

As he and Rale flew, he tried to come up with a plan to break inside the FBI base.

'There would be cameras everywhere, so I can't go in without getting caught. I can only change my face with someone else. That is a pretty easy part. The problem is that I can only do that with someone I touch, and that person would see me transform,' he thought as he tried to come up with a better plan.

"I can do it like that. Right. I can wear a mask and do it. No one would see my real face or my face being transformed. After that, it's all about entering. Since I'm already taking a risk like that, I might as well disguise myself as an agent.'

'Alright. It's decided. The entire day tomorrow will be used to find the perfect target that I can use. After that, it would be easy to enter the place. As an agent, I can also roam much more freely without getting caught. I'll be able to use the authentication as well. Perfect. I can easily find Ray and the Director. Killing that person isn't going to be trouble either as long as I find him alone. Escaping would be even less of a hassle.'

With this line of thought, Ryder realized that what he thought to be complicated was much more simpler. In his mind, it was an easy mission that was almost finished. The crux of the plan rested on finding a perfect guy to impersonate, which was why he gave it the whole day.

The day after that was the day of the game when he was going to actually enter and do the killing.

A smile formed on his face as a much more relieved look appeared on his face now that he was free of worrying.

"Your Highness, you have been looking stressed since you arrived. I am glad to see you look happy now," Rale told Ryder.

"Oh? You didn't ask why I was stressed?"

"I assumed it was for the safety of the Realm. I didn't ask you regarding that since I myself worry about that. Seeing you relaxed, it's pretty good. I'm glad," Rale said softly as he smiled.

He was not only worried for the Demon Realm but for Ryder as well. He could see that Ryder had come here to have an adventure in the outer world.

He could understand that Ryder had lived in the outer world for a long time. From what he had heard, Ryder only entered the Demon Realm recently on the commands of the Previous King to get some experience.

It was obvious that someone who lived in the outer world for most of his life was going to have a hard time adjusting to the Demon Realm. Ryder not only adjusted but helped them all so much.

He even put his life in danger so many times. He was glad that Ryder was taking a trip outside to relax. That's why he didn't resist whether Ryder wished to go out.

He didn't even tell anyone about it. Rale had never broken the rules in his life. It was a rule that whenever the King or Prince left the Kingdom, the High Dukes needed to be informed. It was Rale's responsibility to inform them, but he hid it.

If it was ever exposed, the punishment was massive. Rale could not only lose his position, but there was a chance that he was going to be executed for putting the life of Ryder in danger by not stopping him or informing the others.

Despite such a scary punishment, Rale didn't stop Ryder. Neither did he inform the High Dukes. He didn't even tell Ryder about this rule because he didn't want Ryder to be tied to the Demon Realm as if he was prisoned for the sake of Rale.

Ryder still had no idea the risk that Rale was taking by doing all this.

After some time, they reached the forest where they had appeared after they jumped out of the portal.

Ryder checked the messages to see if he had Shu's reply since he couldn't see messages after he entered the Demon Realm.

Unfortunately, there were no messages.

'Just where exactly is that guy?' he thought in concern.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything.

Ryder brought a golden key out of his inventory and raised it towards the sky.

The key started shining, and soon, a portal opened before them.

"Let's go and see what's the commotion that you feel," Ryder muttered as he stepped inside the portal. Rale entered the portal after him.

The two of them appeared in the room, which had five doors.

The door behind them closed after Rale had stepped out.

After making sure that Rale was here, Ryder started walking towards the stairs that led to the ground floor.

At the end of the stairs, there was a for which required another key to exit or enter, which only Ryder had.

Ryder unlocked the door and went left with Rale.

"I smell blood."

This was the first thing that Rale said as soon as he stepped out.

His words gave Ryder an ominous feeling. Blood? Did the Death Domain really attack?

The first thing he did was run towards the door outside the palace.

There were always guards that were outside. He found it the fastest way to make sure if the Death Domain attacked or not. If the guards were safe, that means they weren't under attack, and if the guards were dead, it meant that they were in danger.

Rale ran beside Ryder to keep him safe in any situation.

Ryder opened the main door and stepped outside.

"Your Highness!"

As soon as he stepped outside, the guards got down on one knee and greeted him with full respect.

"Did someone attack us?" Ryder asked the guards.

"Attack?" The guards asked, clearly looking confused.

From their reaction, it was evident that nothing strange had happened. Everything seemed to be normal.

"Nothing. It's nothing," Ryder muttered softly as he turned back. He walked back inside the Palace.

The guards closed the doors again.

Ryder gazed at Rale and said, "What were you talking about? Blood? You must be wrong. No one attacked us. Why should there be blo-"

As he was talking, he suddenly stopped as his face turned pale.

"Fuck!" He suddenly cursed as he ran towards the stairs.

Without stopping, he ran upstairs.

'Oh god, Don't tell me it's Miyali. I thought she would be living a decent life here. Did something happen to her? I completely forgot to go and interact with her because of other matters. She is a half-Vampire. If she turns, she will cause an onslaught. If it isn't an outer enemy, it must be an inside one. Please don't let it be her, or I'll be in a big mess,' he thought as he continued running towards her room.

He soon reached there. He opened the room, only to get stunned. He didn't seem happy with what he saw.
