Chapter 61: Show them
Ryder and Devilia landed in front of the giant gates of the Palace.
Devilia pushed the door open. She was so powerful that she easily opened the giant looking doors of the Palace with just a single finger of hers.
As soon as the doors opened, they saw a huge hall. There was a slightly raised floor at the end of the Hall, and a big throne was there. The throne was empty.
There were 20 seats on each side of the hall. The first 3 seats on both sides were slightly bigger and higher, but they were still not as high as the main throne.
The remaining 17 seats on both sides of the Hall were at a similar level. Although those seats were the lowest, they still looked like the seats a king can use without being ashamed.
All the seats were filled except the main throne and the 5th seat on the right side.
In total, the Demonic Realm had 34 Dukes and 6 High Dukes. They had other ranks like Marquis as well, but they were not allowed in today’s meeting.
Devilia entered the place and walked under the watchful eyes of all the Dukes and High Dukes.
"You can sit here for the moment," She stopped before the 5th seat on the right and told Ryder to sit on it.
"Devilia? What are you doing! That’s the seat of a Duke. By making that kid sit there, aren’t you insulting us?" One of the Duke stood up and asked.
All the Dukes and High Dukes were ranked. The one that has just spoken was the 5th Ranked Duke. He was sitting on the seat on the right of Devilia.
"Orion, You have no idea what you’re talking about. It would be more like I’m raising the prestige of our seats by making him sit here for a moment. You’ll find out soon," Devilia said as she stood behind Ryder, who had sat on that chair without a second thought.
Ryder didn’t want to make him look scared since he knew what was about to happen here, but inside, he was freaking out.
All the people here were so powerful. He couldn’t see anyone’s level, but he could feel their scary aura.
Before dying in the previous timeline, he had faced a level 200+ dragon, but he realized that the Dragon’s aura was like a child while the people that were sitting here had the aura of the Heavenly King’s.
To not die, he had to be brave. If he could succeed, he would at least become their Prince even if they don’t make him King. He could create history in Divinity, and it was also quite possible that he would leave Lucifer way behind.
The High Dukes heard her words, and they all frowned except High Duke Oris, who had an idea about who the boy was.
He was just silently observing the boy from his seat.
"Orion, We can talk about that later. It’s Devilia’s seat so let her do it if she wants to. We have more important matters to attend to," High Duke Oris said before Duke Orion could speak once again.
Duke Orion just sat silently since High Duke had spoken.
"High Duke Oris, Can we know why this meeting was called? Is someone trying to attack our place? Or is it something related to the Death Domain? Have they risen again?" The High Duke, who was sitting on the seat that was facing High Duke Oris, said.
He was High Duke Magna. He and High Duke Oris were said to be the strongest in Demonic Realm after the Emperor himself. It was said that High Duke Magna was stronger than High Duke Oris, but since no one had seen them fight, there wasn’t any proof.
’Death Domain?’ Ryder thought with a frown. He had a feeling like he had heard of it before, but he couldn’t remember.
"It’s nothing like that. Since His Majesty fought with the Death Emperor, They had never left their Domain. We still can’t see any movement from their side," High Duke Oris replied.
"What is it then?" High Duke Mila said.
She was the only female amongst all the High Dukes. She was also quite strong and said to be the 3rd strongest amongst all the High Dukes. She was quite old, but she looked like she had just turned 18.
"We all know that His Majesty left the Demon Realm a long time ago. We can’t even find his traces, but we know how much power he has. Wherever he is, he is still perfectly fine, but we still couldn’t help but worry for him," High Duke Oris said.
"Of course we worry about him. Why are you bringing that up now?" High Duke Mila inquired.
"Because we got the information about His Majesty. He is in the Human Realm," High Duke Oris replied.
"What?" That news came like a shock to everyone as everyone stood up from their seats. Only High Duke Oris and Ryder remained seated since they knew what it was.
"Did His Majesty come back? Where is he? Let me go meet him now. I want to see his fierce figure once more. This calls for celebration," High Duke Magna said with an excited look on his face.
"His Majesty didn’t come back, but he sent someone else. His personal disciple," High Duke Oris said.
"His Disciple? Who? Wait a minute, are you talking about that boy? It can’t be! He’s so weak!" High Duke Mila said as she shook her head.
All the gazes turned towards Ryder, and they all looked like they couldn’t believe it.
"I won’t try to convince you guys. I’ll leave it on him to prove it. You can sit down. Let’s see his proof," High Duke Oris said with an amused smile on his face. Although he still hadn’t seen the proof, he believed that Devilia hadn’t lied to him.
They all sat down on their seats.
"Stand up, boy! Show us what proof you have?" High Duke Magna said as he glared at Ryder.
His simple gaze was so powerful that Ryder felt a chill run down his spine. He could barely control his body from shivering.
"Go on. Show them. It’s the right moment," Duke Devilia said with a smile as she tapped on his shoulders.
