Capítulo 214: Chapter 213
[Third Person's PoV]
Cid stood nearby, giving Yuuka and her husband Yutaka a moment to savor their reunion. He watched as they clung to each other, faces damp with tears, and shared tender kisses, the joy of their reunion evident in their embrace.
When their kiss deepened, Cid averted his gaze to the night sky, clasping his hands behind his back as he admired the twinkling stars above. His expression remained neutral, as if their reunion was just another task checked off his list. After a moment, Yuuka turned to Cid, her face glowing with gratitude, and she bowed deeply alongside her husband.
"Thank you, merciful God," she said, her voice full of heartfelt appreciation.
Cid's eyes flicked to her, his face betraying a hint of amusement as he stared at her impassively. Realizing her mistake, Yuuka quickly corrected herself, her cheeks flushing. "Oh, right… I mean, Monarch. Oh merciful Monarch."
With a subtle hand gesture that conveyed a silent 'There you go,' Cid replied, "Just remember, this doesn't change the fact that you're going to be a maid."
Yutaka blinked, looking from Yuuka to Cid with confusion and concern. "I'm sorry, what?"
Cid shrugged. "I assume you know Akane, right? Well, Yuuka tried to avenge what happened to you by manipulating Akane. She planned for Akane to lose control, injecting her with monster blood to make her berserk, hoping to prove that Akane was a monster. It was as much an act of revenge as it was a suicide attempt. Now, as punishment, I'm making her serve as Akane's maid."
"Yuuka… is that true?" Yutaka asked, his face a mixture of shock and disbelief.
Yuuka averted her gaze, too ashamed to look him in the eyes. She could feel the weight of her choices now, pressing down like stones.
Cid's attention drifted off as a grin spread across his face. He looked back toward the camp where his shadow soldiers had just finished clearing out the monsters, arranging themselves in the form of a message that spelled out "6 Days." Cid chuckled softly in amusement of their actions
"Anyway," he continued, bringing his attention back to Yuuka and Yutaka, "I'll take us back to the camp. Be prepared to answer when you're needed, but until then, do as you please." With a snap of his fingers, shadows engulfed all three of them, whisking them away to the outside of Akane's room.
Just before Cid went inside Akane's room, Yuuka called out, "I have to ask—would you really be able to stop the monsters from invading this world if you conquer it?"
Yutaka, startled, looked at her in disbelief, "I'm sorry, What? Conquer?"
Ignoring Yutaka's reaction, Cid replied, his tone distant, "I'll tell you this much: the monster invasion is caused by another Monarch. That should tell you all you need to know." Without further explanation, he walked into Akane's room, leaving Yuuka and Yutaka stunned outside.
Inside the quiet room, Cid pulled a chair close to Akane's bedside and took a seat. Before he could say anything, Akane's eyes fluttered open, glistening with tears. She looked at him, her expression one of profound sorrow.
"I killed all those people," she whispered, her voice thick with guilt.
Cid looked at her, bemused. "No, you didn't."
"But I did…" Akane raised trembling hands to her face as tears streamed down her cheeks. "I remember it all… I killed them… all of them… They're dead—every single one. Not just the men, but the women and children, too. I… I slaughtered them like animals."
Cid reached out, brushing her bangs back as she lay there. "It wasn't your fault, Akane. People warned Akira about what would happen if he continued experimenting on you. He knew the risks, and he ignored them. If there's anyone to blame, it's him. He's the one responsible for all of this—for pushing you to that breaking point."
Without warning, Akane flung herself into Cid's arms, clutching him tightly as she broke down. "I didn't mean to hurt them," she sobbed, her body shaking against his.
Cid wrapped an arm around her waist and placed his other hand on her head, gently comforting her. "I know."
Between sobs, Akane whispered, "I'm scared… I don't want to hurt anyone else…"
"Give me your hand," Cid said softly, loosening his embrace just enough to hold her hand in his.
Through her tear-blurred vision, Akane watched as Cid traced a glowing magic circle over the back of her hand. "This will help," he explained. "It's a binding seal to prevent your mana from going berserk. It's made up of four locks—each one will release more mana gradually. But if you unlock all four, there's a risk of you going full Super Saiyan on us again."
He barely finished his explanation before Akane leaned forward and kissed him, her tears still wet against her cheeks. When she pulled away, she gazed into his eyes, her voice full of gratitude. "Thank you…"
After a moment, she leaned back, brushing away the last of her tears and steadying her breathing.
"So you're Shadow, huh?" Akane asked, looking at Cid a bit teasingly but there was still a profound sadness in her gaze.
"I wasn't lying when I told you I was an incarnation of death before," Cid shrugged with a smirk.
But before either could speak again, Gamma suddenly burst out of Cid's shadow, flipping and crashing clumsily against the door, upside down.
"Gamma?" Cid asked, tilting his head in surprise.
Gamma scrambled to her feet, her eyes wide with panic. "It's Alpha! She's… she's going into labor!"
Cid's eyes shot open and stood up pushing his seat back as he looked towards Gamma in disbelief. "WHAAAT!?"
