Rudy hovered in the air and glanced around after activating his see-through ability.
'After Jane came to take Rias back that day, many things happened.'
At first, of course, Rias refused to go with her as she had already decided to spend her life with Rudy. But she wasn't to decide that.
When Jane told her that it was the order from the Vampire Monarch, Rias' resolve to stay with Rudy decreased.
She knew that if she defied the order of their king, then not only her but Rudy would also be punished. Rias didn't want Rudy to suffer because of her, but she knew that Rudy would suffer if she left.
She didn't know what to do, so she turned to Jane and asked her to give her some time. Still, she denied it and said that the Vampire Monarch was going to send someone else. Hence, she insisted on going to avoid major casualties.
The vampire world still wasn't aware of Rudy and Rias' relationship, but now Jane knew.
Of course, Jane was angry, and she wanted to kill Rudy because she thought he seduced her innocent sister even though it was the other way around.
Rias had no other choice but to leave because she didn't want to endanger Rudy's life. However, Rudy wasn't letting her go.
He challenged Jane to a fight, but he lost in a second. After all, a human could never compete against a vampire. But even after losing, he once again challenged Jane.
He fought with her dozens of times and lost all the time. Jane wasn't even fighting with her full power as Rias had warned her not to hurt Rudy.
After losing dozens of times, he knew that he wouldn't be able to win against Jane, and if that happened, he would lose Rias.
He was frustrated. He hated himself for being weak. He felt pathetic for not being able to protect the love of his life.
After realizing that he was going to lose Rias and probably never see her again, he was devastated. Rias couldn't take it anymore and changed her decision. She said she wouldn't go with Jane.
Jane had no other choice but to take Rias forcefully. So she trapped Rias in a magic ball and tried to take her away. But of course, Rudy stopped her.
He kept chasing after Jane even though he was weak and exhausted by the fights. But Jane didn't stop, so he tried to provoke her and got her angry.
Jane took Rudy to Rias' house and threw him inside, trapping him in the house. She thought Rudy would never be able to escape from there as the house was the deadliest trap of the illusion, but much to her surprise, Rudy walked out of the house in a few seconds.
That made Jane even furious and frustrated, so she immobilized him and flew to the vampire world.
When Rudy woke up, he was holding a tennis ball in his hand, and he had forgotten everything about Rias.
Jane had cast a unique spell on the school that made everyone forget about Rias. However, at that time, some people were out of her range.
But, Jane had already predicted something like that, so she had used another spell that triggered the first spell again and again.
If someone tried to remember Rias, they would forget about her. That was why Rebecca never mentioned Rias again. Eric also remembered about Rias, but he forgot as soon as Rudy asked him to remember.
Rize remembered her too, but she forgot her after thinking about her.
Jannet was the only one who hadn't forgotten about her. But she eventually did after describing her to Rudy.
However, everything has changed now. Rudy was no longer weak, and he easily defeated Jane in the fight. Now, he was looking for a way to enter the vampire world, but he had no clue.
'Come to think of it, where do the other races live? Surely, they don't live on the surface as they can easily be spotted one day with the technology advancing day by day. But that's where magic comes.'
"What if they hide their world using magic?" Rudy wondered. "That's the only way I can think of. Otherwise, they must be living in a different world connected to this one."
'There were so many things I wanted to ask Rias. Till the end, I didn't know anything about her. I thought I would get to know her better when our relationship advances, but that never happened.'
"Perhaps, she didn't want to tell me, or maybe she was waiting for a perfect time to confess everything. What was she doing in the human world in the first place? And why did she enroll in my school?"
'I will get all my answers once I get to the vampire world.'
Rudy took a deep breath and slowly opened his mouth to utter: "I… wish to go to the vampire world."
"I will take you there," Jane said in a calm voice.
Rudy looked behind him and saw Jane was hovering in the air. Her wounds had also healed, but her eyes still looked lifeless.
"I thought you were trying to keep me away from Rias," Rudy remarked.
"I was only keeping you away because I had promised Rias that I wouldn't let you get hurt. It was nothing personal," Jane responded.
"Yeah, right. You sucked my blood and even threatened to kill me many times now, but all your attempts failed. And now you say 'nothing personal'? Wow," Rudy scoffed out loud, seemingly trying to mock Jane.
Jane stared at Rudy and shook her head in disbelief with a disappointed look on her face.
"What's with that look?"
"You have changed a lot in the last three months. What happened to you?"
"You can say that I… woke up in reality…"
Jane raised her arms in the air, to which Rudy responded by summoning a fireball in his hand.
"Calm down. I am just trying to open the portal to the vampire realm."
"Oh…"
