Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 61 – Chapter 59: Real Reason

Bulga felt like Ryder was looking much more intimidating. Although he couldn’t see any change in Ryder, it was a feeling he was getting from his core.

“Hey? Why are you standing there? We should leave. It’ll be morning quite soon,” Ryder called out to Bulga as he waited on top of the flying beast.

“Ah, Oh, right. Sorry,” Bulga came out of his daze as he replied. He walked towards the flying beast as well.

The flying beast started flying in the direction of the palace.

It didn’t take long for them to get to the palace of Duke Devilia. While Bulga got back to his duty, Ryder entered the palace and walked towards his room.

Ryder was walking in the hallway when Duke Devilia came out of her room.

She saw Ryder and couldn’t help but frown.

“Where are you coming from? Didn’t I tell you to not leave the palace?” Duke Devilia asked as she gazed at Ryder with a frown.

“Ah, I went out to get some fresh air and get some exercise. I also went to your hunting forest to see how the beasts of this place are. I couldn’t wait until the morning. My master had told me that if I wanted to do something, I should do that without delaying much, So I did that last night,” Ryder said without looking much worried.

He was sure that Devilia would get answers from Bulga; thus, he didn’t hide anything. It wasn’t anything wrong that would get him punished anyway.

“His Majesty said that? That does sound like something he would say. He himself was quite impulsive after all,” Devilia let out with a thoughtful look on her face.

“Anyways, If you wanted to hunt, you could come to me. I would bring you personally to see my collection. What would have happened if you were harmed?” She inquired.

“You were sleeping, so I didn’t want to disturb you. Anyway, It’s fine. I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I? Also, I had some help with me. The Chief Guard escorted me and protected me. I also had the Talisman that I could use to contact you if I needed your help,” Ryder answered.

He stretched his arms as he yawned before she could reply.

“I’m feeling quite sleepy. Can we talk later?” Ryder said with a sleepy look on his face.

“Hmm? Oh right. You must’ve stayed up all night long. Go get some sleep. I’ll inform you when I need you,” Duke Devilia said.

“Thanks,” Ryder responded.

He walked past her and stepped towards his room.

As soon as he opened the door and entered the room, he found Miyali sitting on the bed.

“You woke up so soon?” Ryder asked with a smile as he walked there and sat beside her.

“Yes. Did you go outside?” She asked.

“Yeah. Went outside to get some fresh air,” Ryder said smilingly.

“Can I ask you something?” She inquired as she looked at Ryder with her beautiful red eyes.

“Yeah, Sure. You’re free to talk to me about anything. Just consider me your friend,” Ryder replied with a smile.

“Why did you save me?” She raised a question.

“Hmm? Why did I save you? Just take it that I didn’t like the fact that they were so cruel. For your father’s mistake, they wanted to torture you. I hated that. Also, I knew that I could defeat them, so the experience played a small role as well,” Ryder replied.

Before jumping in to save her, he had already seen the stats of the Demons. Only when he was sure that he could handle them did he jump in.

“My father did not make a mistake! He was innocent!” Miyali insisted in a raised tone.

“Ah, sorry for using that term. I didn’t mean that. I don’t know what had happened after all,” Ryder apologized.

“My father was framed. He found out a secret about the Town Demon, and that’s why he was killed. They killed him to silence him,”  Miyali explained. Ryder could see the sadness on her face.

“What secret?” Ryder asked in curiosity.

“The Town Lord was preparing a formation. He wanted to sacrifice all of the Town people so that he could increase his strength through that dark ritual. My father found out about this,” Miyali said.

“Why didn’t you inform the towns people then?” Ryder inquired.

“Hah, Tell those cruel people? My father told those bastards all about it. They didn’t even believe it. Then the Town Lord accused him of trying to dethrone him and get him killed by misinforming the citizens. My father was killed. It wasn’t that the towns people weren’t told. It was that they didn’t believe it,” She responded.

“I guess this really is the Demon Realm. They have such brutal formations here,” Ryder sighed.

There was silence for a brief moment.

“Oh right, You’re from the outside. How is that place?” Miyali inquired after some time with curiosity.

“The outside? Well, I don’t think it’s as cruel as here, but there are evil people there too. There are monsters and various mysteries waiting to be discovered. The thing I hate the most is politics, though. The Kings can be really cruel,” He explained with a wry smile as he remembered a few incidents of his previous timeline.

“Are you really the disciple of His Majesty? I haven’t seen him before, but I heard a lot of stories about his bravery from father. Since you’re his disciple, Can I ask you what kind of person he is?” she asked.

“He? Ah, he’s pretty strict most of the time, but he is quite protective of me as well. Also, he’s super strong, ” Ryder told her the stories he made up.

Both of them talked for quite some time. Miyali was initially hesitant and scared, but she did end up becoming closer to Ryder. She wasn’t as fearful as before, and she was able to open her heart and talk about things.

Ryder was talking to her when he got a message from Duke Devilia through the Talisman that was given to him by her.

“Sorry, I’ll be right back. The Duke needs me for something,” Ryder told Miyali as he stood up and left.

He had seen Devilia’s room in the morning, so it wasn’t much trouble finding it.

He knocked on the door.

“You can come inside,” He heard Devilia’s voice from inside.

He opened the door and entered the room.
