Chapter 883 Rias' Invitation
As Rudy and Alice engaged in conversation, a figure approached from behind, her presence emanating a quiet authority. It was Lu Bela, the leader of the UnderBlades army. She stepped forward with a respectful nod, his gaze alternating between Rudy and Alice.
"Rudy, Alice," Lu Bela greeted them with a hint of a smile. "I hope this day finds you both in good spirits. It is an honor to witness the blossoming of your dynasty. It reminds me of my old days. You made this continent lively again. I can't say how happy I am."
Rudy acknowledged Lu Bela's presence and gratitude, and her voice filled with appreciation.
"Lu Bela, your unwavering dedication to our cause has been invaluable. Your leadership ensures the safety and well-being of all who reside here. I am grateful for your presence and your commitment to this dynasty."
"I am simply doing what I think is the best."
Rudy approached Lu Bela with a warm smile and a gentle nod. "Lu Bela, would you kindly give Alice a tour of the castle and assist her in selecting a room of her own? I trust your judgment in guiding her through the available options."
Lu Bela bowed respectfully, her posture displaying a sense of duty. "Of course, it would be my honor to ensure Lady Alice finds a room that suits her preferences."
"..." Rudy raised his brows.
'Why is Lu Bela being so obedient? I never thought she would actually agree to my request. Her way of talking to me has also changed. I know she has been trying to get me to owe her favors, but this seems different.'
As Alice walked alongside Lu Bela, Rudy watched them from a distance, his mind immersed in a sea of contemplation. He observed Alice's enthusiasm as she explored the corridors and chambers of the castle, her eyes filled with wonder and curiosity.
While Lu Bela and Alice ventured through the castle, Rudy found himself busy in his own thoughts, taking the time to reflect on the challenges they had overcome and the future that lay ahead. He knew that with every step; the dynasty was transforming, expanding its borders not just physically, but also emotionally and spiritually.
Meanwhile, Lu Bela showed Alice the various rooms available, each with its unique charm and ambiance. They visited rooms adorned with exquisite paintings, rooms with panoramic views of the kingdom, and rooms nestled in quiet corners of the castle. Lu Bela attentively listened to Alice's preferences, noting her reactions to each space.
After careful consideration, Alice finally settled on a room that resonated with her heart. It possessed a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a large window overlooking a lush garden. Excited by her choice, Alice expressed her vision for the room's renovations, describing her desired color palette, furniture arrangements, and personal touches.
Lu Bela, ever the meticulous planner, took note of Alice's preferences and assured her that he would oversee the renovation process. He vowed to create a space that would reflect her unique personality and provide comfort and tranquility.
As the room renovations began, Alice, Rudy, and the other girls of his harem gathered in the living room for a leisurely lunch. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and animated conversation as they shared stories, indulged in delicious dishes, and savored the camaraderie that had blossomed within the castle's walls.
As the lunch continued, Alice's excitement for her newly chosen room grew, knowing that it would soon become a space she could truly call her own. She felt a sense of anticipation and appreciation for the efforts Lu Bela was putting into bringing her vision to life.
Rudy's gaze swept across the room, taking in the vibrant energy and sense of belonging that permeated the air. He felt a deep sense of gratitude for the bonds he had formed with each member of his harem, and he cherished the moments they shared together.
However, Rudy's curiosity gnawed at him as he noticed the absence of Jane, Rias, and Niti during the lunch gathering. A sense of unease settled within him, particularly concerning Rias and her brewing revenge plan against Jane. Aware of the delicate situation, he decided to tread cautiously and refrain from probing his harem about their whereabouts.
After the satisfying meal, Rudy found himself engaged in a board game with Lilim, Angelica, and Maria. Laughter and friendly banter filled the room, momentarily distracting him from his concerns. However, his focus faltered when Rias entered the living room, her gaze fixed on Rudy.
Sensing her intense presence, Rudy felt a pang of anticipation mixed with trepidation. He knew that Rias had something important to discuss, and it seemed she could no longer wait. With a resigned smile, Rudy surrendered in the board game, excusing himself from his companions.
"You girls enjoy. I will be back."
Rias watched intently as Rudy rose from his seat, her eyes filled with a mix of determination and something else, a secret hidden beneath the surface. Rudy met her gaze, his own expression a blend of curiosity and concern. Without uttering a single word, he followed her out of the living room, venturing into a space where their conversation could unfold undisturbed.
As they walked through the corridors of the castle, the air thick with anticipation, Rias finally came to a stop in a quiet alcove overlooking the lush gardens. Her eyes met Rudy's, and she took a deep breath, as if gathering her thoughts before speaking.
"Rudy," she began, her voice tinged with a blend of vulnerability and determination, "It's about Jane. Everything is set. Are you ready?"
Rudy's gaze softened, his instincts confirming his suspicions. He nodded, urging Rias to continue, giving her the space to express herself fully.
Rias took a deep breath, her words measured yet laced with emotional intensity. She spoke of her brewing resentment, her desire for revenge against Jane for past transgressions. She explained the depths of her pain and the need to find closure, to finally put the past behind her.
"It's time for my revenge and to end our sisterly banter."
