Ryder and the others were escorted to the Dining Hall. 

Ryder thought that High Duke Eston would carry Mao with him to keep him safe as a precautionary measure, but he was surprised when he saw High Duke Eston throwing Mao in a Spatial Portal.

On inquiry, High Duke Eston told him that it was a skill of his which was called Dimensional Prison. It traps the person he wishes in a Dimensional Prison. 

He also said that Mao would be safe in his Dimensional Prison since no one else could enter his Dimensional Space.

Ryder was once again surprised to see that a skill like that existed.

'I guess I can get some fascinating skills with higher levels,' he thought as he nodded his head.

With Mao in a safe prison and the enemies of the Duchy Dead, Ryder could finally be relaxed as the threat on this place was over, but the real problem still remained. It was the Death Domain and the person that betrayed the Demon Realm and worked with Elisia.

The second problem could be solved after getting the information out of Mao, but the First Problem was complicated.

If he didn't handle it properly, there would be a war, and the whole world of Divinity will be affected. Even he would be in hot waters since his own strength was not sufficient enough to take part in the battle of the High Dukes and the Death Envoys. If it comes to that now, all he could do was hide in the back and watch the battle. He still needed time to get strong enough. He projected that with the Speed he was growing, he should be as strong as a Duke in just a year, but that was just his assumption. He didn't know what the future held for him.

Ryder and the others sat at the Dining Table together as the food was served for them. After serving the food, every maid and guard inside the room was told to leave since Ryder was going to start talking about the actions they needed to take during dinner.

"So, what are your suggestions? What should I do about this?" Ryder asked the others.

"Let me start with the Vampire King first," Ryder muttered as he glanced towards the Vampire King.

"What do you say? If you were in my place, what would you do?" Ryder asked the Vampire King.

" Before I answer, let me ask you something instead. I came here to help you, but more importantly, I came here to search for my General. I do believe your words that the Death Domain is scheming something, and they might be responsible behind it. If that's the truth, then they must have my General. I want to interrogate the person you captured first! I want to ask him about my General," the Vampire King told Ryder as he refused to answer.

'Sigh, this guy still didn't forget that. Just think that your General is dead and drop the matter, man," Ryder thought, but he maintained a subtle smile on his face.

"Sure. You can interrogate him first but in our watch," he said, nodding his head.

'It's not like he would know anything. He'll just say that he has no idea. I can blame the girl and say that she worked with others behind Mao's back to do this. It shouldn't be too troubling to go with this story. On the other hand, If I deny, then he would definitely be suspicious about my intentions and my involvement in the missing of his General,' he thought.

'It's good that no one saw our faces in the Undead Region. The cloaks really helped. Without sketch, he can't find out about us, and with the shield of the Death Domain, we can definitely get away with this as long as we're careful,' Ryder thought, glancing at Rale.

"We'll start the interrogation after dinner. You can ask your questions to Mao then," Ryder said, shaking his head. 

"Let's continue the main discussions for now," he continued as he smiled.

" Alright. I'll answer the question that was asked. If I was in your place and this had happened to me, I would have gone straight to the Death Domain Royal Palace and ask for an explanation. If I hadn't received a proper explanation, I would've made them regret crossing me," Vampire King replied.

'I can believe that. You're the guy that did the same to our Demon Realm when you came to High Duke Oris' Palace and attacked me under the watch of four High Dukes without worrying. This isn't that unexpected, but if we do that, this would be the same as declaring a war,' Ryder thought as he glanced at the Vampire King.

Ryder shook his head. He was just about to speak, but High Duke Mila chimed in.

"That's an interesting idea. We can go there before they give us their explanation and show them that we're not going to wait for their explanation. We need to show them that we have the strength to do what they did and even worse," She said.

Ryder released a mouthful of breath as he smiled.

"High Duke Eston, what do you say about this?" Ryder asked High Duke Eston.

" This seems like a better option. We won't be outright declaring a war, but we won't be sitting idle either. This is the good step between mild and extreme," High Duke Eston nodded his head.

Ryder didn't say anything as he simply nodded his head.

"What about you, High Duke Eston? Do you see something wrong with this plan?" Ryder asked High Duke Oris. He had three answers that were agreeing with the plan, but he didn't agree. He could see a problem with that plan. He was wondering if anyone could see that problem or not. High Duke Mila and High Duke Eston had failed, but he believed that High Duke Oris would notice it.

'The others are too hot-headed, so they can't see the bigger picture, but High Duke Oris should be able to see it,' he thought.

High Duke Oris looked at Ryder in full seriousness.

"That is a good suggestion, but we can't do it," High Duke Oris said.

"Interesting. Did you see the problem as well?" Ryder asked as he subtly smiled.

"What problem?" High Duke Mila inquired.

" The problem is that we have no information about this. This might just be a plan to get us out of the Demon Realm so that they can come here and create destruction everywhere. We can't leave the Demon Realm," High Duke Oris said.

"That's simple. All of you stay here to protect the Demon Realm. Only I will go," High Duke Mila said as she nodded her head.

"That's not good either. There will be four Death Envoys there. Even though I have confidence in you, but I can't underestimate them either. If you go alone and they attack you, you would be in trouble," Ryder let out, shaking his head.

" I can protect mysel..."

"I know you can protect yourself, but I can't let you take that risk."

High Duke Mila was saying something, but she was cut off by Ryder that refuted instantly.

" Any other suggestions?" Ryder asked everyone.

" Everyone said what they wanted to say except you, Prince Hades. It's your turn. What do you wish to do," Vampire King asked Ryder.

"Me? I'll do exactly what you suggested," Ryder said as he smiled.

"What? But didn't you..." The Vampire King and the others were shocked since Ryder had just said no to the plan.

"I just said there was a problem with that plan, not that we couldn't solve the problem," Ryder replied as he glanced at High Duke Oris. "High Duke Oris is our solution."

" Me?" High Duke Oris inquired as he smiled as if he realized what Ryder was going to say. Since he had the Power to Teleport, it was the safest for him to go there since he could escape from any situation. He realized that Ryder would ask him to go, and he was also ready. High Duke Oris himself was about to suggest this.

"High Duke Oris, you have the spell of Teleportation. Can you use that spell to take others with you?" Ryder asked Oris.

"Ah, yeah. I can take two people with me to the places I Teleport to. What about that?" High Duke Oris asked.

"I want you to go to the Death Domain. You're going to take Rale and me with you," Ryder said as he smiled.

"Impossible! You're not going anywhere, especially the Death Domain!" High Duke Mila stood up in shock. High Duke Eston was also shocked.

Ryder was the Prince of Death Domain, and he was the weakest. If anything went wrong in Death Domain, he would be the one dying first. Him going there was sheer stupidity, which they didn't expect from Ryder.

"Listen to me first," Ryder said as he gestures to them to sit down.
