Chapter 619 Meeting Aslina
Chapter 619: Meeting Aslina
"He’s there with them? Is he pretending to side with them? No wonder he wasn’t replying to me. He probably didn’t want to get found out. But still, he could have at least informed me one way or another. It didn’t have to be words," Ryder thought, seeing Janus with the other gods.
"The problem will exist though. All the gods won’t stop searching. And that lady might come here to check up on me again. Wait, how would she know where I am?"
"Even if I went to the world of Divinity, she isn’t going to know where I am. Even ordinary humans aren’t at their homes at times. Also, I won’t be the only one who’s not here. There shouldn’t be a need to worry," Ryder thought, shaking his head.
He started getting dressed using the attire from the world of Divinity and hi
"Maya, keep an eye on all of them. Even when I’m in Immortal World, alert me if any of them gets closer to this place," he commanded Maya before he disappeared.
...
Tiara Kingdom... It was one of the highly influential Kingdoms in Divinity which was a popular destination for the players.
At one time, crowds of players could be seen in the Kingdom, but at the moment, the kingdom seemed void of any players. That wasn’t the case for this kingdom only. Other kingdoms also faced the same thing.
Tiara Kingdom was also the place where Ryder wanted to establish a guild. He already owned a piece of land in the Kingdom because of the Princess who handed it to him.
The capital city of the Tiara Kingdom was known as the Windsor City, which was ruled by the Royal Windsor Family. They were one of the many kingdoms that had invited the Demon King to their Kingdom as a form of thanks.
Even the Windsor Royal Family hadn’t seen the Demon King before. They were in for a big surprise.
Ryder appeared at the entrance of the Windsor City out of thin air. It was the place he had decided to meet the Rale.
As he appeared at the entrance, he noticed that Rale wasn’t there yet. "He’s running late."
Ryder started walking back and forth in the rough group, waiting for Rale.
It was the same place where Ryder had pretended to defeat Rale, who had kidnapped Princess Aslina Windsor. It was where he had established himself as a hero.
"Ah, now that I think about it, Aslina will remember Rale as well. She’ll understand everything," He muttered, smiling wryly. "I guess it’s time I told her the truth as well.
In the distance, he finally saw a figure flying towards him.
"He’s here," he thought, glancing at Rale in the distance. He had finally reached there.
Rale landed in front of Ryder. "Did I make you wait?"
"Not for long. Don’t worry. Let’s go in," Ryder replied.
He flew towards the Royal Palace with Rale.
Seeing two people flying above their City, the citizens were surprised.
"Sorcerers!" Most of them exclaimed, looking at Ryder and Rale. They could only think that Ryder and Rale were magicians from other powerful magic kingdoms. There were stories of such people.
The two landed in front of the Royal Palace.
Ryder’s top half face was covered with the Royal cloak he was wearing.
Seeing two people land in front of them from mid-sky intimidated the guards a lot.
"W-who are you?" They asked.
"We’re from the Demon Realm! Your King invited us to be his guests," Rale answered.
"Ah, right! He told me about you. Please follow me." The guard escorted Ryder and Rale inside, not knowing that Ryder was the person they had already escorted many times.
The small group of two was taken to the Royal Court, where the King was sitting with his ministers. Aslina was also present there.
"Greetings to the mighty King of Demon Realm. I can’t tell you how grateful I am that you accepted our invitation." King Windsor stood up in respect, facing Ryder and Rale. "It’s good to finally see the mighty Demon King."
He couldn’t see the face of Ryder either. Aslina was also the same, but she could see Rale, who wasn’t covering his face.
"Wait! Aren’t you the one who tried to kidnap me last time? Did your Demon Realm want to kidnap me?’ Alicia openly said, making the frown.
"Is this true?’ King Windsor asked Rale, frowning.
’It’s not true, Princess Aslina. Rale didn’t want to kidnap you," Ryder replied grimly. He shifted his attention to the King.
"You said it’s good to finally meet me? That’s not true though. We’ve met quite a few times before," he told the King.
"We have?" The king asked, stunned. ’Why don’t I remember?"
"What do you mean he didn’t want to kidnap me?! He did that unintentionally? You know if a great man weren’t there on time, your follower would have taken me!"
Both the King and the Princess were talking at the same time.
"No, he wouldn’t have taken you. Also, that great man himself asked Rale to take you from your Palace so he could later save you and get close to you," Ryder replied.
"Nonsense! Why would he do that?!"
"Because he wanted to impress you?’ Ryder replied, removing his hood to show his face.
"You?!" Aslina and the King were shocked to their cores. They weren’t the only ones though. The entire Royal Court was filled with gasps.
"You... are the King of the Demon Realm?" The King asked.
"That’s right. I lied about being an ordinary adventurer for another Kingdom. I am the King of the Demon Realm. And when I met Aslina, I was the Prince of Demon Realm," Ryder replied, sighing.
"Ah! I get it! It’s like those stories I read! A Prince falls in love with the Princess at first sight, and to get close to her; he lies about his identity! That must be the case with you too! Isn’t that the case?’ the King exclaimed.
"That’s somewhat close, I guess. Not entirely accurate, but yeah. I like Aslina. I hope my identity won’t be a problem for you?’ Ryder asked.
"Do you still want to marry my daughter?" King Windsor asked the question which was in everyone’s mind.
Ryder paused for a moment before he nodded. "I do."
"What do you say, Aslina? After knowing the truth, do you want to marry the King of the Demon Realm?" King Windsor asked his daughter.
"I want to talk to you alone!" Aslina told Ryder, not answering her father. "Please follow me."
"Rale, you stay here. I’ll be right back," Ryder commanded Rale before leaving with Aslina.
