Chapter 123: Caught
"Is this supposed to be a joke? or are you trying to disrespect us?" Ryder asked in a severe tone.
"What do you mean?" the girl inquired.
She had a confused smile on her face.
"Rale? Take that ugly thing away from my eyes," Ryder let out in a disgusted tone.
Rale disappeared from his position and appeared before the girl. He picked up the plate of flesh before her and threw it away.
"Let’s just kill her," Ryder said casually.
Rale caught the girl’s neck and picked her up in the air as he tightened his grip on her neck.
The girl was strong, but she was nothing before Rale who was equal to the Dukes of the Demon Realm in strength
"Tell me. Did you really think that you can eat that disgusting thing before me and still expect me to have dinner with you?" Ryder picked up the glass of blood and threw it away as well.
Rale had already told him about the Vampires, and he knew that the Royal Vampires hated seeing Vrykolakas with their food before their eyes. Normal vampires didn’t like it much either.
"I-I’m sorry, I forgot that the Vampire Royalties don’t like seeing our food," the girl said in an apologetic tone as she struggled to speak.
Ryder didn’t react and simply stood up as he stepped towards her.
The room was so silent that each of his footsteps echoed with the sound that was audible to everyone present in the room.
He stood a few meters away from the girl.
"You invited us, yet you forgot such an important thing? Do you think you’ll be treated special?" Ryder inquired.
"N-no, It was really a mistake. I sincerely apologize," the girl let out.
"You’re lucky that I’m not in the mood to kill anyone today; otherwise, this little palace of yours would have become a slaughterhouse," Ryder told her before he turned back.
He walked back to the table and sat on his chair.
"Rale, release her," Ryder commanded.
Rale nodded his head as he loosened the grip of his fingers and released the girl before he appeared back at his place.
’I just wanted to test because I doubted if they were actually vampires, but I really screwed up. They are definitely vampires. Such speed, it seemed to be even faster than father’s speed,’ she thought.
"Thank you," the girl thanked him.
She walked back to the table and sat on the chair in front of Ryder.
"Should I have them bring another glass of blood?" she asked Ryder.
"No need. The dinner is over. Get to the point," he told the girl.
The girl nodded her head.
"I want to know what brought you to my city. I was just a little worried if it was to cause some harm to the citizens or not, that’s why I invited you," She told Ryder.
"I’m not here to harm your City. I was just flying by and decided to stop by your city to ask directions," Ryder told her.
"Directions? I can help you. Where do you want to go?" the girl asked Ryder.
"You know the town before Valley of Wandering Souls?" Ryder inquired.
He had decided to change his question now that he was facing her. The Book of Ancient Hobbit mentioned a small town where he stayed.
"I have heard of an abandoned town right outside the Valley of Wandering Souls. What do you want from that town?" the girl asked.
"We’re meeting someone there. We had a map, but some things happened, and we lost the map," Ryder said.
"Oh, that’s unfortunate. I’ll give you a different map if that can help you," the girl said.
"That’s what we were hoping to get from this city," Ryder said.
The girl called out for the maidservant and ordered her to bring a map.
After a few moments, the door of the hall opened, and the maidservant came back to the hall with a scroll.
The girl stood up and walked towards Ryder. She took the scroll from the maidservant and opened it.
She’s placed the map before Ryder.
"This is our city, and this is the town that’s near the Valley of Wandering Souls," the girl told Ryder as she pointed to specific places on the map.
Ryder took the map, folded it back, and gave it to Rale to hold.
"Alright. We’ll be leaving now that we are done here," Ryder told her before he stood up.
"What’s the hurry, my father will be here soon. How about you meet him before you go?" The Girl asked Ryder.
"As I told you, we have a place to be at," Ryder replied.
He turned back and left the hall with his men, leaving the girl behind.
The girl stood there with a thoughtful look on her face as she looked towards the door.
Ryder stepped out of the palace. He walked out of the town, under the curious gaze of the city people. He left the city, and he was just about to order Rale to carry him and fly when they saw someone fly straight towards them.
It was an older man who wore a cloak and landed before Ryder.
"Stop!" the Old Man called out as he watched Ryder.
Ryder glanced towards the old man
"Yea? Is something wrong?" Ryder asked.
"Who are you? How dare you dress like Vampires to fool people?" the Old Man bellowed.
Ryder looked towards Rale with a curious gaze on his face, but Rale didn’t seem worried, which put a calm smile on his face.
"Should I ask why you think that?" Ryder inquired.
The old man pointed towards Ryder furiously.
"You don’t deserve the answers. Die!" the old man said as he flew towards Ryder, but Ryder didn’t even flinch.
He was confident that Rale would save him.
That was what happened as well. Rale appeared before Ryder. He packed his fist as he punched out.
The fist landed on the face of the old man, which made him fly away. The old man hit trees one after another, breaking them as he flew back like a ball tossed by the strongest man.
He ultimately landed on the ground 500 meters away from them.
"I guess we can fulfill your wish now. Torture him to get the answers. I want him to answer how he knew about us," Ryder told Rale.
Rale stepped forth and instantly appeared beside the old man.
He brought his sword out and slashed it casually, but his casual slash was enough to cut the right hand of the old man. Another Slash arrived, cutting off his left arm as well.
