"What do you want to talk about? What could be so important that made you contact me?" High Duke Oris asked with a serious look on his face.
"I need you to call for a meeting of all dukes and high dukes. The others will only listen if you contact them," Duke Devilia said.
"Are you being serious right now? A high-level meeting can only be called when it's a matter of life and death! What can be so important! Did you get some information? Is someone trying to attack us?" High Duke Oris frowned as he said.
"That's not it, But in a way, it's more important than that!" She replied.
"More important than that? Be honest with me. What's happened that made you so restless?" High Duke Oris asked.
"I found a hint about His Majesty!" She said with an excited look on her face.
"What!" High Duke Oris exclaimed in shock as he stood up.
Duke Devilia could hear the sound of his chair falling to the ground as he stood up so suddenly.
'I expected that reaction,' She thought.
"Did you really find something about His Majesty? Is he alive?" He asked with a frown.
"Yeah. His Majesty is alive and perfectly fine," She said with a pleased smile on her face.
"Where is he?" He asked again.
"From what I heard, he's in the outside realm. The world of humans, elves, and others weaklings," Duke Devilia replied.
"How did you find out about this? Did you go there? Or did he contact you?" High Duke Oris inquired.
"None of that. I found it from his young disciple!" She explained.
"His Majesty has a disciple?" He exclaimed in shock.
"Yes. He's only 23-24 years old, I think. He's from the outside realm. I heard that he was sent here by His Majesty to train," She answered back.
High Duke Oris picked up the chair and again sat down.
"Are you sure of that boy's identity? Did he show any proof!" He asked in full seriousness.
"He did have proof. A proof that leaves no room for doubt. The proof makes it clear that he's a disciple of His Majesty," She responded.
"What proof of that? Don't tell me that it's a handwritten note. It's possible to fake a letter," High Duke Oris said as he glared at Duke Devilia.
"It's his scythe," She answered in a simple manner.
"What?" He asked again as if he didn't manage to hear it.
"It's the Royal Moon Scythe of His Majesty. That boy has the Royal Scythe! We all know that no one can touch the scythe without His Majesty's permission. It's clear who that boy is," She explained.
"Is that the real Royal Moon Scythe? Are you sure of it?" High Duke Oris asked with a frown.
"It is real. I'm sure of it. I could feel the same feeling of dominance from this scythe as I felt when I first saw the scythe in His Majesty's hand. It was as if it was declaring to me that it's still the same king of weapons," She said as she remembered that chilling feeling she felt.
"Alright. I hope that you didn't lie to me about any of it. I'll be calling a meeting of the nobles, and you can bring him with you. I'll tell you the date of the meeting. It's time we also see the disciple His Majesty chose," High Duke Oris said with a grin appearing on his face.
The mirror returned back to normal as the connection was disconnected.
"Sigh, It took so long to convince the old man. It's good, though. Everything's about to be changed," she said with a relieved smile on her face.
She stood up as she walked back to her bedroom.
Ryder and Miyali were already on the bed. They were sharing the same bed and blanket, but since the bed was quite wide, there was a meter of distance between the two of them.
Their backs were facing each other as they fell asleep.
It was around 2 at night when Ryder's sleep broke. He could feel a heavy weight on his body that was pressing down on his body.
"Umm?" With a frown, he opened his eyes, and he was surprised to see that Miyali was sleeping on top of him.
She was somewhat shorter than Ryder, so her head was resting on his chest.
'This girl? She was worried about me molesting her, and now she's sticking to me like a koala? This is weird. What can a poor boy do when a girl is lying on him like that?' He thought with a wry smile on his face.
He could feel that a certain part of his body was starting to react.
"Sigh, This girl is trying to make me commit a crime. I won't force myself on her, though. I can be many bad things, but someone who forces a girl is not one of them," he muttered softly.
He turned his body sideways and tried to get the girl to come off his body, but she was sticking too tightly to him.
He further turned, which resulted in him being on top of her. He lifted his body up, but she still didn't separate.
She wrapped her hands around his back so hard; it looked as if she was clinching to her life.
Ryder slightly jerked his body, and after some effort, he was finally freed. The girl fell on the bed.
Because of the impact, the girl woke up as she opened her eyes.
As she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was Ryder's face.
Her mouth opened wide as she realized that Ryder was on top of her.

Miyali's mouth opened wide as she realized that Ryder was on top of her.
Before she could say anything, Ryder hurriedly got off her and created some distance between them.
"Before you misunderstand anything, just hear me out. When I woke up, you were on top of me. I rolled over to get you off me without waking you up. That's when you woke up. So please don't doubt my innocent intentions,"
Just as she was thinking of words to speak, Ryder explained everything as best as he could.
Miyali closed her mouth, but she still looked at Ryder with a doubtful look.
"Really?"
After 5 or so minutes, she finally opened her lips and asked in a soft tone.
"Of Course. Why would I do such a thing to you? I'm a perfectly decent man," Ryder insisted.
"You can go back to sleep," He told her.
"Alright," Miyali mumbled as she closed her eyes.
Seeing that she was sleeping, Ryder opened the game window and saw the real world time in there.
The time in the game ran opposite to the time in the real world. When it was the day in the real world, it was night here, and when it was night here, it was day there.
The best thing was that the real world had become so advanced in terms of medicines that people didn't need to eat food every day. It was more of a delicacy type thing now.
The medicine field was so advanced that the world had managed to develop the Productive Pills.
If a person ate one of those pills, he could go for a day without eating anything. Similarly, if he ate 10 of such pills, they could stay without food for 10 days.
The best thing was that their body wasn't harmed in any way. It was all organic and healthy.
Since Ryder got the news that Lucifer had caught up to him, he became more competitive.
He ate ten of such pills since he was intending to stay inside for 10 days without going out and go on a hunting spree to increase his XP and level.
Unfortunately, things didn't go his way, and he was thrown into the Demon Realm.
He didn't want to give up his plan, though. He had already sworn to himself that he wouldn't leave Divinity before 10 days, and it was just him fulfilling that promise to himself.
Still, he didn't wish to be non-productive. He wanted to go hunt and increase his level.
He left the door as he stepped into the hallway. There was not a single person here that he could see.
He continued walking through the palace in search of a path to leave. If there had been any problem, he also had the Talisman that could help him contact Devilia.
He was quite surprised that a place like this had no guards. He had walked up to the door without any problems.
As he pushed the main door towards the outside, the door opened.
As soon as he went outside the door, he saw the guards. There were indeed guards outside.
"Young Master!" The guards saluted Ryder as they got down to the knees.
"Young Master? Do you guys know about me?" Ryder asked in surprise.
"Greetings, Young Master. I'm the chief of the security of this palace. My name is Bulga. And yes, we were all told about you," A bulky demon stood up as he stepped towards Ryder.
The Demon was around 10 ft. tall. His biceps alone were the size of Ryder's waist. There were 2 sharp devil horns protruding from his forehead.
"Oh, It's good that you have been told about me. Anyways, is there a place here where I can hunt?" Ryder asked.
"Of Course. We have our own hunting forest that belongs to the Duke. You can find quite a lot of weak monsters there," The Chief Guard Demon Bulga said.
"Hmm? How weak are you talking about?" Ryder asked just to be sure.
Bulga heard the question and fell into deep thought as to how he could describe it. He started looking towards his men.
"Ahmm? Oh Right. He's our weakest member. The strongest monster in that forest is only as strong as him. So you can see how weak they are," He said as he pointed towards a member that was the shortest amongst them.
Despite being the shortest person amongst them, the demon was still 7 feet tall.
Ryder used his <All-Seer> on that demon, and a wry smile appeared on his face.
Although he was the weakest guard amongst them, Ryder still wasn't able to see his level or stats. He could understand how strong that guy must be.
"I need monsters that are as strong as your 5-year-old kids," Ryder said without feeling ashamed one bit.
"Hmm? Do you mean the newborn monsters? But Young Master, those monsters are too weak," Bulga replied in uncertainty.
"I just want to see the strength of newborn monsters in this place," Ryder said.
"Oh? Alright. There is indeed a section of the forest where the weakest beasts stay," Bulga said after thinking for a while.
"Oh? Good. Take me to them," Ryder said.
Bulga nodded his head. He informed the other guards to properly take care of the palace in his absence and to contact him if there was a problem.
He whistled loudly, and a big flying beast came down and landed in front of him.
"It's my tamed beast. It will carry us to the forest," Bulga said as he climbed on top of the big beast.
The beast looked similar to an eagle on Earth, but it was many times larger. It was so large that it could easily carry 3 people like Bulga on its back.
Ryder also climbed on top of the beast, and the beast started flying.
Although the Beast was fast, Ryder could feel that it was many times slower than Duke Devilia when she was flying.
The beast flew above the well-lit city, and after around half an hour, it slowed down.
