Chapter 112 - 108: Urge To Kill
"The Undead Realm is a very vast and diverse place. It has many species, and it is closely related to the Death Domain. I'm not sure if Your Highness knows about it yet, but the people from the Death Domain are able to control the Undead Species and bring them out during a fight, but that's not all there is to it,"
"The Death Domain can only establish links with weaker Undeads like Skeletons, Zombies, etc., but there is also another branch of Undead that is uncontrollable by them. Even their King wasn't able to control them," Rale responded.
"Interesting. So the Vampires must be the uncontrollable ones," Ryder muttered.
"Exactly, just like we have High Demons, the Undead Realm have High-Rank Undeads. Those are the ones that are able to think for themselves, and in some instances, they are even smarter than other species. The Vampires are considered High Undeads. And some of them are as strong as our Dukes as well," Rale explained.
"Is there someone in the Undead Realm as strong as our High Dukes?" Ryder asked again.
"There are 2 Undeads that are as strong as our High Dukes. The Vampire King and the Lich King. There is Ghoul King as well, but it's said that he's not at their level yet," Rale replied.
"What about the Death Domain? How many of them are on the same level as our High Dukes?" Ryder asked again due to his curiosity.
"They have the same number. They have 4 Death Ministers that are said to be as strong as our High Dukes," Rale replied.
"4 in the Death Domain and 2 in the Undead Realm? Why haven't they joined together in the last war between Death Domain and the Demon Realm? And even after that?" Ryder inquired.
He believed that if they attacked together, the Demon Realm might be in trouble.
"Because the High-Rank Undeads don't like the people from the Death Domain because they control the low-level Undeads and use them as puppets. The High-Rank Undeads don't involve themselves in flights between the two sides as they don't like either of the sides," Rale responded.
"Interesting, so it is like that. It's good that they don't like each other," Ryder muttered.
"Oh, right. What do you think it means when the eyes of a vampire turn from light red to deep red?" Ryder asked again as he remembered the thing about Miyali's eyes that he had noticed last time he left.
"From what I know, Vampires have light red eyes, but their eyes turn deep red when they don't drink blood for a long time. If they don't drink the blood even after that, then they may lose control of themselves and attack others," Rale replied.
"What the heck! Rale, increase the speed. We need to get home fast!" Ryder said in a hurry. He was starting to get worried.
He knew that if Miyali lost control and attacked others, she might be killed by his Royal Guards. She might even be able to kill Miku before that. And if others found out that she was a vampire, it would be troublesome. There were a few demons that had red eyes, and she had demon blood, so no one recognized her yet, but it might not be for long.
Rale flew even faster and brought Ryder to the Malta Valley.
Ryder brought the Key out of his storage and opened the spatial tunnel. He entered the spatial tunnel that opened before him. Rale followed after him, still wondering why they were suddenly in such a hurry.
They got back inside the Royal Palace and walked to the higher levels.
Ryder ran towards Miyali's room.
"Don't come inside until I invite you!" He told Rale as he entered Miyali's room.
As he entered, he saw Miyali sitting on the bed, writing something on the paper.
"Miyali?" Ryder called her. She looked up, and her eyes were again the lighter shade of red.
"Did you drink blood?" Ryder asked Miyali with a frown.
Miyali looked up and saw Ryder standing in front of her.
She nodded her head.
"Whose blood?" Ryder asked Miyali in a harsh tone.
She pointed to the left. Ryder looked in the direction she was pointing at and saw a small tray there. The body of a small bunny was lying on it.
"You drank monster blood? That's better than attacking someone from the palace, though," Ryder muttered.
"You should've told me if you needed blood. I would've arranged something for you. What would have happened if you hadn't found the beast and lost control!" Ryder said to her as he stepped towards her.
"Tell me, how many times do you need blood? It should be daily, right?" Ryder asked her.
"I'm half demon, so I don't need to drink blood daily. I can handle myself on normal demon food, but I do need to drink blood once at least two weeks; otherwise, I start feeling the urge to kill," Miyali told him while looking down.
"Alright. I'll arrange for it. Also, If there's anything else like that, you can tell me, alright?" Ryder asked her.
Miyali nodded her head.
They talked for a little more before Ryder left the room.
"Is everything alright, Your Highness?" Rale asked Ryder as he stepped out.
"Yeah, everything's perfectly fine," Ryder responded.
"I'm going to sleep now, but you should stay in the palace, alright? I'll need you to translate something for me tomorrow," Ryder told Rale before he left for his room.
Ryder locked the door and laid on the bed before he logged out.
He removed his divinity glasses and saw the time on the clock, which made him disappointed.
"I'm late. Alice must've already left for college. I really need to teach her how to drive," he muttered as he got off the bed and went to take a shower.
After getting ready, he ate the breakfast that was already prepared by Alice and left the house.
He went to the property dealer and looked around for a place he could use as the headquarters of the Divine Corporation, but he didn't find what he was looking for.
Throughout the day, he kept looking for places by going to various property dealers, and ultimately he found a place that he liked.
It was a 7-floor building that was being sold for only 10 million dollars.
"Why is this place so cheap?" Ryder asked the property dealer as he found it suspicious.
"I have this property on sale for five years now. It's so cheap because no one wants to buy this place," The Property dealer said.
'Why?" Ryder inquired.
