He stopped before Devilia, who was looking at him blankly.
"You're known as Devilia here, aren't you? You're mine from today, " Ryder let out as he placed one of his hands behind Devilia's neck and pulled her face closer, kissing her.
Devilia was so shocked that her mouth opened a little. Ryder slid his tongue inside her mouth.
'Time to go, ' Ryder thought.
The strange aura that was surrounding Ryder disappeared as he returned to normal.
Ryder had no idea what happened in the last few moments after Ryder had heard the news about Devilia's potential death, but as he came back to his senses, he felt a hot pair of lips touching his lips. He could also feel his tongue fighting for dominance insider Devilia's mouth.
His right hand was resting behind Devilia's neck while his left hand was resting on her hips.
Ryder was so shocked, he pulled his tongue out of Devilia's mouth and moved backward.
"Ah, Devilia. You're perfectly fine. I'm so glad, " he said, not knowing what else to say.
"I... that was my first kiss. I... I don't mind. I accept. I am yours from today, " Devilia said as she nodded her head as she moved forward and hugged Ryder as she kissed him back. It was time for Ryder's mind to be blank as he didn't know what just happened.
From Devilia's words, it sounded like she was his woman. What did she mean by she accept? Did he propose to her during the time he couldn't remember what happened? Was he having some disorder or split personality? He couldn't understand what was happening.
All he knew was that he didn't hate this development. He quite liked the kiss of Devilia. Also, Devilia was one of the prettiest women he had seen. She was pretty, and she was hot. Even though it was all in Divinity, he didn't feel like anything was unreal about it. Her kiss felt as real as it could.
Ryder liked that kiss. He also felt a little hot from her kiss. He didn't hate Devilia. In Fact, he quite liked her. Since it had already happened, he decided to accept Devilia as his woman.
He wrapped his arms around her back and hugged her even tighter as he sucked the sweet juice off her lips.
After kissing her for over five minutes, he separated his lips from hers to breathe.
Ryder looked in the eyes of Devilia, which seemed as deep as the sea.
"Ahem, ahem."
While Ryder was looking at Devilia with a passionate gaze as if he wanted to kiss her again, he heard a coughing sound.
He looked to his side and saw High Duke Oris looking at him. High Duke Mila, High Duke Eston, Rale, and Vampire King were also looking at him.
"Ah, right. That's not how I should've behaved in public, " Ryder let out as he smiled wryly.
Devilia's face was also red as she saw the gaze of High Duke Mila. She lowered her gaze, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on Ryder's pants. Her face turned even redder.
'Devilia is here, and Mao and another person is dead here. Just what exactly happened here when I was blanked out. How should I even ask them without making them feel like I have memory problems, ' Ryder thought as he started frowning suddenly at the sight of two dead bodies lying on the ground.
Even though he didn't remember what just happened, he knew that the two dead bodies had something to do with him.
He thought that High Dukes killed the two of them, and he believed that they wouldn't do that without Ryder's command. So he believed that he had a hand in it.
He tried to test this theory.
" Back to the topic. You all know why I had them killed, right?" Ryder asked High Dukes.
"Ah, yes. You said that Mao didn't have any valuable information to give, so you killed him. As for the other guy, you said he didn't deserve to live since he reserved targeted people close to you, " High Duke Eston explained to Ryder.
As Ryder heard High Duke Eston's words, his mouth opened slightly.
'What the heck? What did he mean I killed them? How can I kill them? I would have asked them to kill for me! These guys are so high level; I wouldn't be able to kill them even if I sliced them ten times with my strongest skill. Just what exactly happened here? Is this really a split personality disorder? But this hasn't happened before. How come I suddenly have this disease?' Ryder wondered as he started sweating. He was beginning to believe that he actually had a split personality disorder.
Just when Ryder was trying to make sense of the situation, he heard the voice of Janus.
[You don't have any disorder]
"You're up? Oh! So it must be you, playing tricks on me! You idiot! Was this a new type of prank? You really scared me for a moment, " Ryder muttered as he breathed in relief. He walked back to the throne and sat down.
[Something like that]
Janus replied in a casual tone.
Ryder sighed as he shook his head.
"You are really trying to kill me! Always coming up with these weird tricks. Anyway, what exactly did you do this time? Did you give me some strange task to kill those two with the threat to kill someone if I didn't do it? That makes sense!"
" You must've asked me to kiss Devilia as well! You are really troublesome. Why did you even remove my memories after doing all this?" Ryder asked Janus as he made an assumption about what must have happened.
Janus didn't reply to Ryder, but Ryder didn't seem like he was going to drop this matter. Ryder kept asking the same thing again and again.
"Answer me, you idiot!" Ryder let out in frustration.
[Ding... A new mission has been issued to the host]
[Mission: Make Devilia tell you that she loves you]
[Mission Reward: Devilia's complete Loyalty]
[Mission Reward: 100 origin points]
[Punishment for Failure: You'll forget what the last fifty minutes of your memory]
[Time Limit: Three hours]
"Ah, I get it. You're trying to divert my attention. As for the punishment, I guess I got my answer. I lost my memory because I failed to complete the entire mission that you gave me last time. That must be it, isn't it?" Ryder asked again, but he didn't get any answer.
"Sigh, he always goes silent when he's in trouble. One day, I'll definitely get back at him, " Ryder muttered as he smiled.
" Oh, right. Since the witnesses are dead, there's no benefit to this meeting. You can all go and rest. High Duke Mila and High Duke Eston, you guys can go back to the Royal City after resting. High Duke Oris and I will leave for the Death Domain tonight with Rale, " Ryder told everyone as he stood up and started to leave.
He stopped before the door as he glanced back at Devilia.
"Oh, right. Devilia. I need to talk to you about something important. Please come to my room as soon as you can, " he said before he left the Great Hall.
Rale followed after Ryder.
"Congrats Devilia. It looks like you're not going to be single for long, " High Duke Mila chuckled as she patted Devilia's shoulders before she left as well.
High Duke Eston, Vampire King, and High Duke Oris also left. z
Only Devilia was left behind with a red face. She could feel her heart beating faster. She took a deep breath to calm her down before she left the Great Hall as well.
"Your Highness, You must really like High Duke Devilia. The way you asked her to be your woman in front of everyone was shocking yet so brave— exactly how a Demon King should behave, " Rale complimented Ryder as he walked behind him.
"Ah, really? Hah, even I can't believe that I did that, " Ryder muttered as he smiled wryly."To be honest, I don't even remember what I exactly did."
"That's the sign of greatness. Doing something big and not even remembering it. I'm sure you remember about proposing to Duke Devilia. You're surely jesting with me about not remembering, " Rale replied to Ryder with an innocent smile.
" Hah, You're so clever, Rale. You know me completely. You are right. I remember everything, " Ryder let out as he agreed to what Rale wanted to believe.
Ryder reached his room. He entered his room while Rale stayed outside.
"You aren't coming?" He asked Rale.
"Ah, no. I can see Duke Devilia coming here. It's going to be your private time. I won't interfere. I will stand outside. The rooms are soundproof, by the way. You won't have to worry about any sound getting out, " Rale told Ryder as he moved a step back.
Ryder felt like he understood what Ryder was trying to convey. Rale was probably thinking that Ryder called Devilia here to have sex with her, but in reality, he wanted to complete his mission. At Least that's what he wanted, but he knew that this whole thing might actually end the way Rale was thinking.
