Chapter 255: It can\'t be
The first thing he saw was High Duke Mila since she was standing before the mirror. He didn’t see Ryder and the others who were sitting behind.
"No, it’s not me that wanted something from you. His Highness wants to talk to you about something important," High Duke Mila replied as she shook her head.
"His Highness? Alright. Let me talk to him," High Duke Eston nodded his head as he heard it.
High Duke Mila moved to the side and walked back to her seat beside Ryder.
"Greetings, My Prince," High Duke Eston greeted Ryder.
"Greetings to you as well, High Duke Eston. Today I have contacted you for a really important matter that is related to the security of our Realm," Ryder told High Duke Eston in a grave tone.
"Something related to security? I’m prepared to help in any way I can," High Duke Eston got serious as he heard it. He nodded his head and started listening even more carefully.
"Tell me. Is the Vampire King near you, or has he left?" Ryder asked the High Duke.
"The Vampire King? He is still here. He is in his room. I am waiting outside for him. Did you need something?" High Duke Eston asked Ryder.
"Yeah. I need him. Get him in front of me. I want to have a conversation with him," Ryder asked High Duke Eston.
High Duke Eston nodded his head and started walking towards the room of the Vampire King.
The Mirror floated behind him and showed Ryder everything.
High Duke Eston entered the room after knocking once.
The Vampire King was sitting on the bed, lost on some thought, when the door opened.
He saw High Duke Eston standing before him.
"What do you need?" The Vampire King asked High Duke Eston in annoyance.
"Our Prince needs to talk to you about something important," High Duke Eston said to the Vampire King before he moved aside.
The Vampire King became visible to Ryder and the others.
Vampire King looked towards Ryder.
"What do you need?" The Vampire King asked in a casual tone. His tone frustrated both the High Dukes since there was no greeting involved. They found it disrespectful, but they knew they couldn’t interfere without Ryder’s orders.
" I have an important matter to discuss today, but before I start, let me ask about you. Have you finished what you were trying to do? Did you find the person you were looking for?" Ryder asked the Vampire King.
The Vampire King’s mood only grew worse as he heard Ryder’s words. He had hoped to find his General but even after all this time, let alone finding his general; he didn’t even find a single clue about him.
"I didn’t find anything," The Vampire King shook his head.
"As I expected. There’s no way you can find him here since we weren’t involved in his disappearance. As for the blood of Demons that you found there, I think we have found some clues. Today, I contacted you to discuss about that exact matter," Ryder told the Vampire King.
The Vampire King was suddenly more interested in what Ryder had to say.
"What did you find out?" he asked Ryder.
"You remember when you first told us about your General going missing and you finding demon blood in his missing spot? Our first suspicion was the Death Domain since a lot of demons had been going missing in the demon realm. We believed that they used the blood of those missing demons. Today, I have found proof that it was indeed something like that. It’s either the Death Domain kidnapping out people or your Undead Region that’s planning against us," Ryder let out as his tone turned more serious.
" Let me tell you one thing, though. If we find out that the Undead Region is behind it, then we won’t hesitate from a full-on war. For me, the lives of my citizens are more important than anything. If you people are kidnapping my citizens, then I won’t hesitate a single second before declaring a war," Ryder said in a threatening tone.
His tone was so serious that even the Vampire King frowned. He felt like Ryder was actually serious about the war. He couldn’t help but wonder what he was talking about. What had happened? How was his Undead Region involved in it?
Ryder’s tone also gave pride to the others present in the room.
Rale was extremely happy that Ryder was so brave. He was excited to see the Prince standing up to the Vampire King as the Prince of the Demon Realm. He couldn’t help but see a glimpse of the Demon Emperor Salem in Ryder.
High Duke Mila also smiled as she heard Ryder’s words. She nodded her head in appreciation. Devilia, on the other hand, looked towards Ryder with a different gaze. She was somewhat attracted to Ryder, who was prideful. She found Ryder to be so manly today.
"Anyway, let me talk about this matter now. I would appreciate it if you are honest since a single misunderstanding can result in a war and the loss of millions of lives," Ryder said as he looked in the eyes of the Vampire King.
"I just came here to visit a douchy when I was informed that a witness saw a demon’s body being carried in a sack. Can you guess the person who was carrying the sack?" Ryder asked the Vampire King.
The Vampire King looked in confusion, not knowing how to reply.
"Who?" he asked Ryder.
"It was a skeleton! A black skeleton! Do you know who uses skeletons? The Undead Region and the Death Domain. It’s either one of you two that are killing and kidnapping my citizens or the both of you working together against us. Whatever it is, won’t end well for anyone scheming against us," Ryder said in a grim tone.
"A black skeleton?" The Vampire King asked as he frowned.
"Yeah. A black skeleton with a tattoo on his skull! We have its sketch. Tell me if you know anything about it," Ryder let out as he turned the portrait towards the Vampire King.
The Vampire King saw the portrait carefully. High Duke Eston was also hearing it carefully and seeing the portrait.
’A black skeleton with a tattoo? Did someone really infiltrate? Did the Vampire King bring someone with him?’ High Duke Eston wondered as he looked in the direction of the Vampire King.
"This... I remember it... it can’t be!" The Vampire King was a little taken aback as he saw the portrait.
