Chapter 250: Killer Skeleton
"I’ll remind you," Rale said as he nodded his head.
"Anyway, how was your sleep?" Ryder asked Rale.
"It was decent," Rale responded as he nodded his head.
"That’s good. Whenever we are in a place where I can sleep in my special space, you don’t have to guard me all night long," Ryder told Rale as he smiled.
[+50 Loyalty]
[You have received a new title]
[Title Received: Caring Demon]
’Hmm? Another title?’ Ryder muttered as he tapped on the title to see what it entailed.
A different screen opened before him.
"Title: Caring Demon]
[Description: A demon is said to be ruthless and fierce, but there exist caring demons too that think less about destruction and more about protection. A title that can only be given to a Caring Demon]
[Benefits: Defence +20%]
"A title for defense? It can come in handy," Ryder muttered as he looked at the screen before him.
"Hmm?"
Rale couldn’t help wonder what Ryder was talking about. What Title for defense? Was Ryder thinking about the defense of this palace?
’He must be thinking about what we talked about last evening. He’s definitely thinking about breaking the defense of the Undead Region and weakening them after creating trouble between the two factions. He’s already thinking so far ahead,’ Rale thought as he looked at Ryder. He misunderstood the meaning of Ryder’s words entirely and took them as a plan against the Undead Region.
"Oh, right. Rale..."
Ryder glanced back at Rale. He was about to ask something, but before he could, there was a knock on the door.
"Come inside," Ryder commanded.
The door of the room opened, and Devilia entered the room. She roamed her gaze around the room and found Ryder standing near the window.
"You’re back. The citizens have arrived. Everyone is waiting for your arrival. We can start whenever you feel like it," she told Ryder.
"Oh? There’s no reason to delay then. Let’s finish it faster. We still need to go to other places," Ryder muttered as he nodded his head.
He already had the Crown on his head and the Treasure Robe on his back. His clothes were also princely, like a majestic ruler.
"Now, only one thing is missing in my appearance," Ryder muttered as he smiled.
He opened his inventory and brought the Moon Scythe out of his storage ring.
"It’s perfect now," Ryder muttered as he stood with his Scythe.
He started walking towards the exit of the room and went towards the Palace Balcony, being closely followed behind my Rale, Devilia, and his Royal Guards.
As he reached near the Balcony, he saw High Duke Mila standing near that place already, outside public view.
"Come. Let’s finish this," Ryder said to High Duke Mila as he smiled.
He stepped onto the balcony, in front of the public view.
High Duke Mila also walked out and stood on the right side of Ryder, just one step back. Rale and Devilia stood behind.
The crowd that was chattering for a long time had suddenly turned silent as they saw their Prince appear.
"All hail the Prince!"
"All hail the Prince!"
"All hail the Prince!"
"All hail the Prince!"
"All hail the Prince!"
Suddenly, the citizens started chanting and cheering for Ryder. Ryder felt like laughing, but he controlled his expressions and remained stern.
After a short period of chanting, Ryder raised his hand, signaling them to stop.
There was again silence.
Ryder used his Skill of Intimidation to make him seem like a fierce leader
"Citizens of my Demon Realm, As you all may already know, I am the Prince of the Demon Realm. Not only the Prince, but I am also the soon to be King of the Demon Realm. A lot of you may have already heard about my character, but to those that don’t, let me reiterate! I believe in individual strength, but I believe in combined strength even more. As long as you all are with me, No danger can even dare to look at the Demon Realm, and as long as I am here, No one can even think about harming my citizens!"
Ryder began his speech.
"Now, I came here today, to see the beautiful Dukedom of your Duke Devilia, and I must say that it looks astonishing. The view here is beautiful, and the Demons here are great. You all are doing a great job keeping this place great, but as I say, There are always things that are hidden by the disguise of beauty. So today, I am here to listen to you. If any of you have any information or any major information that you think can affect the stability and safety of our realm, then feel free to tell me right now. I’m willing to listen," Ryder declared.
"Those who think they have something important to say, Raise your hand. Since we don’t have too much time, I’ll select any three of you guys to speak your concern. Make sure to utilize this opportunity," Ryder added.
After speaking till here, Ryder waited for people to raise their hands.
A lot of people raised their hands while a lot didn’t.
Ryder looked around all the citizens and selected one.
"You! The one in that blue dress," Ryder said as he pointed towards a Female Demon that looked like she was in her late 20s.
The woman lowered her hand and pointed towards herself as if she was asking for confirmation.
" Yes, you! Speak your concerns," Ryder said as he smiled.
"Greetings, Your Highness. I am Rinoloa. I have a problem that I think can affect the safety and stability of this place if it increases," The girl told Ryder.
"Yes. What is it?" Ryder inquired with a curious look on his face.
"It’s about the Missing Demons. I have seen some of the Demons go missing in our vicinity. At first, I thought that there was a Demon killing people or something for whatever reason. It isn’t odd for people to kill here, but just yesterday, I saw something that made me realize how wrong I was," The girl told Ryder.
"You mean to say that it’s not Demons killing Demons? What did you see? Tell me clearly," Ryder told Devilia as he looked at her in full seriousness. Even Devilia seemed serious now since she hadn’t known this.
"When I was outside last night, I saw something. I saw a Skeleton, dragging a big sack filled with something. There was blood dripping out of that Sack. It seemed like Demon Blood. I believe that the skeleton is behind the missing demons. It can only mean that the Undead Region or the Death Domain is involved. They must be scheming something," The girl told Ryder in a voice powerful enough to reach him.

’ A Quest is here? Ah right. It must be a special quest associated with this lady. If it’s the work of other Realms, then the quest will only get bigger and scarier. The rewards were also getting better. I will also get fame points. This did turn out to be better than I thought]
"Rale, bring her up here. I want to talk to him in private," Ryder turned to his left and commanded Rale.
Rale nodded his head and flew outside the balcony.
He landed in the crowd.
"Give me your hand," Ryder told the girl.
The girl gave him her hand, which Ryder held and flew back to the balcony.
" This is an important topic. I’ll talk with you in brief later. Till then, stay inside," Ryder told the girl.
Ryder told one of the royal guards to take the girl inside the palace.
The girl was sent inside.
The crowd started talking amongst themselves as they heard this news.
"A skeleton is killing demons? How? They’re weak!"
"It must be someone controlling the skeleton and making him stronger or giving it a backup. It seems like the work of the Death Domain! They’re again looking for a war!"
"Do they think we’re weak? We’ll smash them like last time too!"
The demons were more enraged about the news of Skeleton being the killer. They didn’t look scared; instead, they looked angry and started chanting for revenge.
"We need to attack them!"
"They forgot what happens when they fight us! It’s time to remind them!"
"I’ll kill thousands of them alone!x
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
Ryder could see the crowd getting restless.
"Silence!" Ryder let out in a stern tone. All the people that were chanting stopped instantly.
"Alright. That was indeed an important topic. If her words are correct, then a skeleton has managed to sneak inside our Demon Realm. It is a serious matter, and we would need to investigate the matter clearly. In the meantime, I advise you all to stay alert," Ryder told them all.
