Chapter 299 - 295: Entering Lavender Town
"Eternal Salvation? Interesting name," Shu muttered as he nodded his head.
"It has a feeling of a Saintly Guild," he added. "Right Alice?"
" Yes. It's a nice name," Alice said.
Soon, the dinner was finished as everyone walked back to their rooms.
Ryder wished Alice goodnight as he walked inside his bedroom.
He went inside Divinity once again and followed his schedule. He gave another speech in Devilia's Dukedom to calm down the people of the land that were confused throughout the day.
The barrier that was sealing the city was removed as well.
Everything returned to normal as people started calming down after the sealed city was unsealed again.
"Devilia, we'll be leaving on our trip to other Dukedoms. Contact the High Dukes if you see anything suspicious or need us. We would return. Be alert, alright?" Ryder told Devilia as he prepared to leave the Palace of Devilia.
"I will," Devilia said as she nodded her head.
"Oh, keep an eye on the Dead Marquis case. If what our informant told us is true, kill the corrupt minister that hid the information of the Marquis's death and assign a new Marquis on that land," Ryder said again.
"I'll make sure that justice is served," Devilia told Ryder.
" Good. I'm leaving now. I'll try to be back when I'm going back to the Royal City," Ryder said as he stepped closer and kissed Devilia suddenly.
Devilia's eyes opened wide in surprise. She didn't expect that amidst such a serious conversation.

Ryder left Devilia's Dukedom and went to another Dukedom and spent half a day there looking around and meeting with the citizens. After giving a passionate speech, he left that city as well and went to another Dukedom.
As Ryder was traveling from Dukedom to Dukedom and giving speeches and meeting with people, he could see that his Fame Points were increasing at a really fast pace.
He spent all his day in Divinity, working as a prince, and when it was a night in Divinity Again, he logged out.

Ryder woke up at 7 in the morning. He took a shower and got ready.
He wrote a black tuxedo for this occasion. He was sure that it was going to be a formal party, so he prepared himself accordingly. Wearing a tuxedo was Shu's idea, though.
After getting ready, Ryder realized that it was already 8 in the morning. He had taken an hour to get ready. He went downstairs with Alice and had breakfast.
Alice was sent to college by Shu after the dinner. Shu also sent some guards with Alice to keep her safe from unforeseen dangers.
"We still have an hour before we need to leave. Do you want to go now? We can spend an hour on the helicopter, looking around the city in the meantime?" Shu suggested suddenly as he looked at his watch.
"Hmm? It would be fun to see the city from the top," Ryder muttered as he smiled.
"Instead, I want to see the Lavender Town of the Silva Clan. How about we go one hour early but not to the party. We can spend an hour looking around the town," Ryder suggested.
"Hmm? That's not proper manners to be early to a party, but I've never been the one to care about manners, and it sounds fun. Let's go," Shu said as he smiled.
He stood up and left the mansion with Ryder.
He went to the helipad with a few of his guards and Ryder. The helicopter and the pilot were already prepared.
The Butler of Shu also came with him this time.
The helicopter was big enough for ten people to sit. Shu took four guards with him. All four of these guards had superior training. They also had guns inside their clothes.
"Can we take guns inside that place?" Ryder noticed the guns and asked Shu.
"We don't need to take the guns inside the Silva Mansion since they'll provide us protection. As for my guards, they'll stay outside the mansion. They're just to fit protection when we're outside the mansion," Shu told Ryder.
"Ah, I understand," Ryder said, nodding his head.

Lavender Town was a small town that was known for being the base of the powerful Silva Family. Many normal people lived in this town and worked. It was mostly like a normal town; the only difference being that no stranger was allowed to enter the town without the permission is the Silva Family.
This town was like a different country where the Silva Family was the government that gave visas to the people that came inside the city.
At this moment, a single helicopter was entering the premise of the Lavender Town.
The Helicopter moved towards the giant mansion in the middle of the Lavender Town, which was the Mansion of the Silva Family.
There were over thirty helipads made behind the Silva Mansion for guests. The helicopter landed in one of those helipads.
Shu and Ryder stepped out of the helicopter with the butler and the guards.
" Are you the guest for the birthday celebration?" A group of three people walked towards Shu and asked the question.
The men were wearing white coats and black pants.
"Yes. We're from the Maxwell Family. My brother and I will be attending the celebration," Shu told them as he showed the invitation.
"Maxwell Family, right. It checks out. May I see your Membership card?" the man asked Shu.
Shu showed his Membership Card that was issued to him by the Silva Family. The card didn't have his name or any details. It only had Shu's photo.
"It checks out as well. You are one hour early, by the way. You can wait in the guest hall in the meantime while the preparations are going on," The man told Shu.
" It's fine. We intentionally came early. We thought that we could see the beautiful Lavender Town first since we're here," Shu answered as he rejected the offer to wait in the guest hall.
"Oh, Sure. You can see the Lavender Town. You have our membership card, after all. You can take your guards too, but make sure that they don't use any unnecessary violence. We follow strict rules here," the men told Shu before they turned back and left.
"Interesting people," Ryder muttered as he smiled.
"Let's go," He placed his hand on Shu's shoulders as he told Shu to come with him.
Shu and Ryder left the helipad and walked away from the giant mansion. They walked towards the small and lively market that they had seen from the top when they were in the helicopter.
