Divinity: Against The Godly System

Chapter 621: Wedding

"Man, that guy really loves the dramatics. Couldn’t he just say what it does?" As Chaos left, Ryder remained behind, watching the paper in his hand, which felt like paper but, at the same time, looked different as well.

It felt much more durable in hand and very thick.

He ultimately kept that paper in his inventory for the future because he had a feeling that he could soon need it with the way things were going.

"What are you thinking about?" Just as Ryder was lost in deep thought, he heard the voice of Aslina, who was standing in the back.

As Chaos had left, the time started moving at its usual pace. Aslina returned to her normal self to notice Ryder lost in thought.

"Ah, nothing," Ryder let out, shaking his head. "So, what were we talking about?"

"I was asking if you really want to marry me? That’s not a lie, right?" Aslina asked Ryder, frowning.

"That’s right. I do want that," Ryder let out, nodding his head.

"Are you really sure?" Aslina asked Ryder.

"Why else would I say yes? I know that life is too short. I shouldn’t worry about small things and just have what I want. Who knows what might happen the next day. So yeah, not hesitating any more," Ryder let out.

Even though Chaos had separated from Ryder and the two of them were different, they still influenced each other, even though a little because of the time they had been together.

Ryder now possessed the boldness of Chaos, while Chaos also possessed a few aspects of Ryder’s core.

Ryder was now a little different and more open than he had been before; he just didn’t realize it.

"I don’t want to give you up. That’s why I came here. I know we haven’t spent much time together, but the time we spent is something I can’t forget," Ryder told Aslina.

"Me too," Aslina nodded, sighing.

"Oh right, there’s one more thing," Ryder suddenly said.

"What thing?" Aslina asked, confused.

"The face you see? That’s not my real face. I actually used a treasure to keep a different face so my enemies couldn’t recognize me," Ryder said, touching his face.

"What do you mean it’s not your real face?" Aslina asked, confused. He looked like he always did. There was nothing strange about his face now.

"As I said, I used a mask to hide my real face. As for my real face, it’s this..." Ryder let out as he took his Mask of Disguise off.

He intentionally wore a mask to sport the face which he had in the world of Divinity since he wanted her to know who he was. He didn’t want to keep two separate identities.

As soon as he took the mask off, his silver hair turned into black. There were also some more changes on his face which were mostly minor.

"This was what I used when visiting the human realm. Now that I already told you the truth about me, do you trust me?" he asked.

Aslina was overwhelmed at the thought of Ryder being able to change face. Was it his real identity?

She was also confused. How could she trust Ryder? How could she know that he was actually the person she met before? If he could change the face, it was also possible that he was just the King of Demon Realm who was pretending to be the man that defeated Rale to save her?

She didn’t know if she could trust Ryder with this information.

"I guess you are thinking about my authenticity? If I’m actually the man you met or not? Aren’t you?" he asked.

Aslina nodded slowly, stepping back.

"My face can lie but can my eyes lie?" Ryder asked, sighing.

"This weapon which I used at the time too?" he added, bringing out the Moon Scythe.

After Chaos had awakened, he left the Moon Scythe with Ryder as well since he didn’t need it now. Instead, he was going to get his own weapon that truly belonged to him.

"This scythe?" Aslina recognized this scythe as the scythe used by Ryder before.

"That’s right. I used this scythe before you. Do you think it’s an Ordinary Weapon?" Ryder asked, smiling. "It’s the Royal Weapon of the Demon Realm. No human can possess it. If anyone except me touches it without my permission, they’ll be badly hurt."

"Do you understand what I’m saying? This alone proves who I am. Oh right, one more thing that will actually prove my identity. I completely forgot about it."

Ryder opened his inventory and brought a scroll out from it.

"This is the deed of the land that you personally gave me. Since it’s on my name, it can certainly shine only in my hands. If this doesn’t prove my identity, I don’t know what will."

Aslina looked at the scroll that was shining a little. It was true. It could only shine in the hands of the true owner.

She wondered if Ryder had sold this land to the Demon King, and that’s why it was shining. She took the scroll and opened it.

As she checked the name, she found the same name on it which she had written. It wasn’t sold at all.

"I’m sorry for doubting you. I just..." Aslina looked down apologetically for doubting Ryder.

....

Aslina and Ryder left the room after finishing their conversations. They went back to the Royal throne room.

"Ah?" Seeing Ryder, the King of Tiara Kingdom, grew surprised. Ryder was wearing the same clothes that the King of Demon Realm was wearing when he had left, but his face was different.

Aslina ran up to her father and told her everything.

"Ah, so that’s what it was. I can understand that. As Royalty of his stature, a person needs to hide his identity, when going to foreign lands. It’s not shocking," King Windsor said, nodding.

"So, what have you two decided?" He asked his daughter, who nodded her head.

"Incredible! So would we go forward with the marriage? When should we have it?" The king asked.

"Let’s do it tomorrow since I’m already here," Ryder declared.

The king nodded in satisfaction. "Good! You aren’t shying away from marriage. It seems like you’re really serious. But what about the Demon Realm? Would they accept a human bride for their King?"

"They’ll accept it. Don’t worry about them," Ryder replied.

"Good then! Very good! Tomorrow shall be the marriage of my daughter with the king of the Demon Realm! And tonight, we shall feast! Congratulations to everyone!" The king declared happily about the feast.
