Divinity: Against The Godly System Chapter 188

"I heard about the thing that I can't declare war without their permission, but what about the Royal Command? I didn't hear about that before," Ryder asked in confusion.
"Royal Command is something that the Crown Prince can use only once in his lifetime. In the absence of the King, the Crown Prince has the special privilege to use the Royal Command. As the Royal Command, the command would be as valid as the command from a King."
" Even if you use the Royal Command to declare war on the others, everyone would have to follow. You can even command for the death of a High Duke. Since the Royal Command is like the command from the king himself, the other High Dukes must do it. Maybe they didn't tell you because this is a dangerous command that they don't want you to use lightly," Miku explained.
"Interesting," Ryder muttered as he placed his hand on his chin.
"Anyway, You can command the Royal Army, and you can use the Royal Command to force the High Dukes and the others to do anything. You also have other powers as a prince. You can also marry any woman in the whole kingdom. It doesn't matter who that woman is. As long as the woman is not a High Duke, you can marry anyone," Miku added.
Ryder looked at her weirdly as he heard this privilege.
"That is a weird power," Ryder muttered with a wry smile on his face.
"As a prince, you can only use this forced marriage only once as well, but once you become the King, you can use this privilege as many times as you want," Miku replied.
"What else?" Ryder inquired, changing the topic.
"You can also take the Royal Army to search the palace of any Duke. Although you can't command for the death of any Duke without a valid reason, you can search their house, and if you find something illegal or anything, you can use that to give them the death penalty for conspiracy," Miku said.

She kept talking about his powers as a prince. Some of them were weird, according to Ryder, that he didn't think he would use them, while the other powers were interesting that he was glad to know about.
After talking for over half an hour, Miku finished explaining about the powers of a prince.
"After the Royal Family, the one that has the most power is the Commander of the Royal Army."
"I thought so. Rale deserves to be there," Ryder nodded in appreciation.
"Yeah, in the overall hierarchy, Master Rale is between the Dukes and the High Dukes. His authority is closer to the High Dukes, though. He can kill anyone he believes might be harmful to the Royals. Even if it's a Duke that harms you even a little, Master Rale has the authority to decapitate them," Miku replied.
"That's good to know," Ryder nodded his head.
Miku kept giving knowledge about the things that Ryder didn't know. By the time she finished, Ryder had found out about the basics, which he felt made him more understanding and able to handle certain situations. She also pointed out in the maps the Various Dukedoms in Ryder's Empire and talked about the Dukes that were handling them.
Ryder noticed that Devilia's Duchy was one of the closest Dukedoms to him.
After finishing up, Ryder stood up and stretched his arms. He was tired after sitting for the whole day.
"We're making a schedule to visit the lands of all the Dukes, right? Place Devilia's name at the top. I want to visit her land first. She was the one that helped me get here. I want to start the trip from her land after Rale wakes up," Ryder told Miku.
"Yes, Your Highness."

Miku nodded her head.
"Also, Thanks for the help. Now I know better. Good work," He said as he rubbed Miku's head. Miku lowered her head which had turned red.
Ryder placed the map and the paper in his storage.
"It's late already. I am going to my room now. Good Night," Ryder told her as he started walking towards his room.
*****
Ryder entered his room and locked the door.
He opened the log out screen of the game and logged out.
Ryder woke up in the real world and took the glasses off. Just as he sat up, his phone started ringing.
He picked up the phone and noticed that it was an unknown number.
He picked up the call, but he didn't say anything.
"Ah, hello. Am I talking to Mr. Ryder?"
"Yeah, Who is this?"
"I am speaking from the Police Department. We wanted to inform you that our commissioner wants to talk to you. Will you be able to come to the police station today?"
Ryder couldn't help but frown as he wondered about the words. The Police Commissioner wanted to talk to him? He had so much power, couldn't he just send a few cops to take him to the station?
He was still wondering when he realized what it was all about.
'It should be about me filing a lawsuit. They are trying to be humble because they want to convey their sincerity and tell me to settle outside the court,' he thought.
"I would love to talk to your commissioner, but I am busy today. I won't be able to come. Maybe tomorrow," Ryder let out.
The officer who was talking to Ryder was surprised at how casually Ryder rejected the polite offer of the commissioner of Police.
"Uh... Can you think again?" he asked.
"I already told you that I'm busy today. I have a big deal, and if I don't attend it, I'll lose money. Unless your commissioner is willing to pay me millions of dollars that I'll lose, tell him to wait till tomorrow. I would have been able to arrange something if you guys had informed me before, but on such a short notice, I can't do anything. I can't change my busy schedule," Ryder replied.
"Ah, alright. I'll convey your message," The person on the other side of the call replied.
"Yeah," Ryder let out as he disconnected the call.
"I have to deal with Jameson today. I'm not going to delay that for you," Ryder muttered as he stood up.
He walked into the shower.
After coming out of the Shower, Ryder got ready. He picked up the car key and left his room.
He looked at the clock, and it was already time for Alice to leave.
"Alice, Want me to drop you, or is your friend coming again?" Ryder asked Alice as he stepped out of the room.

What they have read in books or heard in the minstrels' songs they adore.They don't know what really happened.
