Divinity: Against the Godly System

"Alright. I'll give you the keys," Ryder said as he moved his right hand towards his pocket, but with his left hand, he was operating the system screen to get his items outside.

With his right hand, he got the keys of his car out, and he extended his hand towards the Man.

The man reached out his hand as well, to take the key. His focus was attracted by Ryder's right hand, and he didn't notice a gun appear in Ryder's left hand.

Ryder pointed his gun towards the man's hand and fired a shot. The bullet passed through the hand of the man and made his gun drop. 

The man screamed out loud like a baby as he held his wounded hand.

"See you in hell," Ryder told the man as he aimed the gun towards the man's hand and fired.

The bullet left the gun and penetrated the head of the man at a lightning-fast speed. The man's forehead started bleeding as a big hole was left behind. 

The man fell down on the ground on his knees and fell down.

Ryder stepped forth and out the body and the gun in his storage.

He turned back and started to walk towards the car.

Ryder entered the car and started it again.

"So, you can't touch anyone now?" Ryder asked the Spirit as he drove the car ahead while keeping his eyes on the road.

"I can't," The Spirit replied as it shook its head.

' I was thinking that I got a good weapon to kill my enemies if I needed to, but I guess that's not possible anymore. At Least he's still good for spying,' Ryder thought as he tried to look at the positive side.

He got the car back home and entered his house.

He spent the rest of the day in peace at home with Alice. They had dinner and a little conversation about their days. Ryder lied about his day since he couldn't say that he was bagged by the FBI. 

After the dinner, Ryder went back to his room. He sat on his bed as he wore the Divinity Glasses and entered the world of Divinity.

Ryder woke up in the World of Divinity and left his room and met up with Miku.

"Is Rale up?" he asked Miku.

"Master Rale is not up yet," Miku replied to Ryder as she shook her head.

"Is something wrong? I thought he would be up in a day, but the physician did say that it might take longer. Let's just see him," Ryder told Miku as he started walking towards the room of the Physician.

As Ryder got there, he saw quite a lot of maids and guards standing outside the room just as he had ordered.

Ryder entered the room of the physician and saw Rale. Rale was up, and he was sitting on the bed. The Physician was checking Rale's hand.

"Your Highness," Rale greeted Ryder as he saw him enter the room.

His words alerted the Physician as well, who also looked back.

"Your Highness, you came at the right time. Master Rale just woke up," the Physician told Ryder as soon as he saw him.

"Good Morning Rale. How are you feeling now? Do you still feel anything wrong? Be honest," Ryder inquired just to be sure.

"I am perfectly fine," Rale responded.

"Is he really?" Ryder asked the physician.

"Yes. All his vitals are normal now. Master Rale is perfectly fine now," The Physician told Ryder with a smile on his face.

"That's good. Rale, come with me. I need to tell you about something," Ryder told Rale as he gestured for him to follow him.

Ryder left the room. Miku and Rale followed after him.

"You guys can go back. There's no need to guard this room anymore," Ryder told the guards and the maids before he started walking away.

Ryder, Rale, and Miku walked through the Corridor as Ryder explained to Rale about the events that have happened while Take was asleep.

He talked about the arrival of the Vampire King and the fact that the Vampire King was staying in the capital while he was trying to find his people. He also told Rale that they were leaving the capital today to get to the Duke's palaces.

"Your Highness, I think we should not leave the capital. Also, we should not allow the Vampire King to stay here," Rale told Ryder with a concerned look on his face.

"I know about that second part. I shouldn't allow him to stay here as it just means that we're not clear, and he can find some things, but I have taken precautions. Nothing would happen. Why do you say that we shouldn't leave the capital, though?" Ryder inquired with a frown on his face.

"Because it's not safe. The Vampire King is here. It's good that you have one High Duke keeping an eye on him, but it's still risky. It would be troublesome if the Vampire King found out that you left the Capital and if he tried to harm you outside the capital since the other High Dukes won't be there. If you want to leave, then I suggest that we take one of the High Dukes with us," Rale suggested with a serious look on his face.

"Two High Dukes will stay in the capital so that they can protect the Royal Palace if the Vampire King tries to break in after we leave. One of them can be with us, and the last one will be with the Vampire King. Even if the Vampire King somehow lost High Duke Eston and managed to leave him behind, the High Duke that's with us can take care of the Vampire King. I would prefer not to fight unless it's to save you since you said that if we bleed, the Vampire King will know," he added.

"That's a good suggestion. I agree with that. I'll ask one of the High Dukes to come with me," Ryder nodded his head as he agreed.

"Yeah, Master Rale's idea is really good," Miku also complimented.

"I think I'll leave High Duke Oris and High Duke Magna to take care of the capital. High Duke Eston is on Vampire King's trail, so I'll take High Duke Mila. I guess I would meet to drop my idea to leave today, though. I will only affect my affinity with High Duke Mila if I just commanded her to leave with me now. I need to give her time. I'll inform her that we'll leave tomorrow," Ryder said as he smiled.

"Rale, come with me. Miku, you prepare the things for our departure. We'll leave tomorrow," Ryder told Miku before he left with Rale.

Ryder left the Royal Palace and flew towards High Duke Mila's palace.

He entered the royal palace as the guards escorted him.

Ryder expected that he would be taken to the Great Hall and told to wait there, but instead, he was taken to the library where the guard said High Duke Mila spent most of the time.

Ryder found it quite weird initially about how he was led straight to the High Duke. Generally, the guards informed the High Dukes first while they let the person of authority rest respectfully.

He couldn't help but ask the female guard about it.

"Are you really not going to inform High Duke Mila about my arrival first?" Ryder asked the guard.

"These are the High Duke's orders. She told me to bring you straight to her when you came. She said that there was no need to inform her as long as she was not in her bedroom," the guard replied.

" Hmm," Ryder nodded his head.

"You can go in, Your Highness," The guard told Ryder as she stopped outside the entrance of the library.

Ryder pushed the door of the library open and entered the library with Rale to meet high duke mila.

As he entered, he saw Mila sitting on a chair with a red book on her hand.

"Oh, you came. So, when are we leaving?" High Duke Mila asked Ryder as she noticed him coming in. She also stood up and greeted him.

"Leaving where?" Ryder asked as he frowned while he sat down before her and gestured for her to sit as well.

He wondered if she knew about his intentions. She shouldn't be able to read his mind, and the plan was made just now. There was no way someone could have leaked it.

"Of course, I'm talking about leaving the capital. Aren't you here to invite me to accompany you on the journey? So, when are we leaving?" High Duke Mila asked as she smiled.

" How do you know about that," Ryder inquired as he maintained his calm. He didn't let his surprise show on his face. This was not how he expected this meeting to go at all, but he couldn't let himself look overly shocked.
