章 54: Chapter 54

[Third Person's PoV]

Shadow sat on the throne, overlooking all the members of Shadow Garden who knelt by the steps. Seeing them, he decided to be a bit generous since he was still feeling pretty good about showing off.

Shadow held out his hand slightly in front of him and started gathering magic power from this world into it. He compressed that magic power to the point it glowed a bright purple color; at this point, it looked like a literal star was being held in his hand.

"I saw how well each one of you fought back there. So seeing just an excellent display, this shall be your reward," Shadow declared.

He then blew on the glowing star that was his magic power and sent it towards the middle of the group. Once it was in the middle, the star exploded, showering them with his magic power. 'So Warm' was the thought everyone had when they felt his magic enter them. Feeling their magic, they then all grew teary-eyed and shouted at the same time.

"WE ARE FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR YOUR GRACE, MY LORD!"

'All I did was power up their magic up to one percent,' Shadow thought while giving them a weary smile that couldn't be seen due to his hood.

Shadow reached out his hand once again and summoned the head of the guard Zeto had killed, and offered to him.

"Come forth, Zeto," Shadow demanded. Zeto, a bit nervously, moved toward the front of everyone, seeking reassurance from Zeta. She smiled and nodded, encouraging him. Seeing her approval, Zeto nodded as well and knelt down.

"You, being only 5 years old, managed to achieve your first kill against a cult member, and not only that, you offered it to me. Congratulations on officially becoming an honorary member of Shadow Garden. Such an occasion deserves a special award."

Shadow's voice reverberated throughout the entire throne room. "Arise." A black smoke started manifesting from the head in his hand, slowly forming into a shadow soldier.

"This is an additional award for you—your very own shadow soldier, the same one you previously killed."

Zeto looked up in amazement as the shadow suddenly sank into his own shadow and reappeared next to him. Zeto thanked Shadow profusely. "THANK YOU, ANIKI-SAMA."

Shadow just nodded as he smirked. All the members of Shadow Garden started clapping their hands and congratulating him. It was evident that due to his young age, Zeto was loved and pampered by all members of Shadow Garden.

Once Shadow finished, he dismissed everyone. "That's all for today. You're free to go about your business. Once again, good work out there."

They all placed a hand over their hearts and nodded graciously before slowly departing. Zeta called Zeto over, saying, "Why don't you go out and train with your new shadow soldier?"

Zeto nodded seriously and left the throne room, leaving only the seven main members along with Claire.

They all then gazed at Shadow with lust, which only made him shake his head at their antics. Standing up from his throne, Shadow changed back to his normal attire.

While still shaking his head, Cid remarked, "You girls really are insatiable. Come along now, follow me."

Excited, the girls followed Cid, who led them back to his bedroom in the castle—a room with a bed large enough to accommodate several people.

Upon entering, they locked the door behind them and began removing their slime suits, leaving them completely naked.

Seeing this, Cid smirked as he sat on the bed and asked, "So, who's first?"

...

Iris looked around in shock. One minute, she was ensuring everyone's safety, and the next, she found herself teleported to the edge of the city.

As darkness enveloped everything, she feared the worst—her thoughts racing to the idea of her demise and the ruin of her kingdom. But amidst those dire thoughts, her foremost concern was for her sister.

"Alexia, I hope you've survived," she thought.

When normalcy returned, she realized she wasn't alone; others had been teleported with her. A sigh of relief escaped her lips.

Frantically scanning the surroundings, Iris muttered to herself, "She must be here. If not... I can't bear to entertain that thought. If anything happens to my sister... Shadow Garden, you'll pay."

The absence of her sister threatened to trigger a panic attack. She then turned her gaze toward the capital and noticed a significant portion missing. "It couldn't be, could it?" she muttered under her breath.

Determined, Iris sprinted towards the capital. Upon arrival, she found Alexia standing before a crater, visibly stunned and in disbelief.

Rushing forward, Iris enveloped Alexia in a tight and reassuring hug. "I'm so incredibly relieved you're okay," she exclaimed, her voice filled with a mix of concern and relief. With a careful touch, she examined Alexia, making sure she wasn't harmed.

Alexia, in response, allowed herself to be held, tears silently streaming down her face. The overwhelming emotion of safety after the harrowing experience gripped her, and she found solace in Iris's embrace. "Thank you, Iris," she managed to say through her wavering voice.

Feeling the tremble in her sister's embrace, Iris realized Alexia might still be processing the trauma of her abduction. Holding her tighter, Iris spoke gently, "Can you please tell me what happened? Who was behind your capture?"

As Alexia began recounting the terrifying sequence of events and the turmoil surrounding their surroundings, knights arrived on the scene, their vigilant eyes scouring the area for any traces or clues.

Among the rubble, one vigilant knight unearthed a mysterious necklace, an object of interest. The necklace was adorned with intricate runes encircling a radiant red jewel at its core. He carefully approached Iris, holding out the artifact. "Princess, we found this—a curious artifact amidst the wreckage," he reported, his tone laced with intrigue.

Accepting the artifact, Iris examined it closely, lifting it towards the sky to catch the light. Simultaneously, Alexia joined in, adding her insights, "This artifact—it must have belonged to the Diabolos Cult."

"The Diabolos Cult," Iris echoed, her voice carrying a blend of curiosity and concern as she focused intently on the enigmatic object before her.

**************************************

[Third Person's PoV]

Cid woke up in the middle of the day surrounded by the girls who were spread out in the bed naked with cum flowing down their pussy and a satisfied expression on their faces.

As he sat up on the bed he smirked while looking at them, he smacked Alpha's butt that was right next to him which caused her to let out a moan.

"Alright I'll leave first, I'll see you girls later." Cid said as he got up and went to take a bath.

When he finished with everything he sank into his shadow and reappeared inside his dorm. When he appeared he saw a note on the floor by his door.

Curious he lifted it up with Ruler's Authority and opened it and it read "Meet me at the roof top, signed Alexia"

"She's not planning to confess to me is she? Would I decline if she did? I don't know I'll just go with the flow and see how I feel on the moment" Cid said to himself while looking at Alexia's letter.

Switching to his school uniform Cid started making his way towards the school rooftop. When he arrived he found Alexia leaning against the wall by the entrance looking bored.

When she saw Cid enter she looked relieved "Finally you appeared, do you have any idea how long I have been waiting up here for you"

Cid just shrugged his shoulder really not caring about it "I was busy, how was I supposed to know you returned from captivity. How did you even get captured in the first place?, with what I taught you it should have been enough for you to defend yourself"

Alexia blushed while hearing his question 'I can't just tell him that I was busy daydreaming about him and making plans for his wives to like me, I would die from embarrassment if he ever found out. That's a secret I'm taking to the grave.'

"Uhhhhh, let's just say they had power in numbers and were really good at what they do." Alexia replied, clear as day that she was lying.

'What is she on about, I was watching everything from her shadows. She was daydreaming while walking aimlessly and got surprised attacked. Is she embarrassed by that? I mean I would too if I was in her position' Cid thought while sighing and shaking his head.

"Anyways you really had me worry here, I thought you weren't going to show up, I was waiting her for more than an hour, I was about to leave in the minute too" Alexia said while pouting.

'I really wasn't I was going to stay here the whole day waiting for him... but he doesn't need to know that now, does he' she thought.

Cid just rolled his eyes "Whatever, so why did you call me up here in the first place"

Alexia then started twiddling with her fingers while she grew embarrassed "I first wanted to thank you for all that you taught me, it's thanks to you that I was able to hold my own against my captor and fight back. So thank you...

I also want to thank you for going along with my whims about the whole fake boyfriend thing even when it could have gotten you in trouble with your wives..."

Alexia's face then grew redder as she grew even more embarrassed about what she was about to say next "If you possibly wouldn't mind, would you like to make maybe make our relationship real and not a fake one. I don't mind that you have multiple wives, even though I don't know them i think we would get along great"

Cid thought about it for while, he but his hand on his chin and went into deep thoughts about what he thinks about Alexia and how his few months with her were like.

Alexia seeing him really thinking about it grew nervous and hopeful, she didn't even want to think about what would happen if he said no.

"Hmmm, honestly I wouldn't mind dating you, but like I said I'm married and I can't think how they would take the news of me dating and going out with a princess" Cid said after thinking about what Beta's reaction would be like if he really went ahead and dated a princess. And that's a can of worms he really doesn't want to open at the moment.

Alexia shouted in happiness in her mind, she was practically doing backflips up in there. But that quickly stopped when Cid continued with what he was saying

'Plan A: be direct and just straight up ask him out, didn't work so now it's time for Plan B: make friends with the wives so they like me and allow me to join in his harem' she thought when she heard the rest of what Cid said

"Then let me meet them and get to know them. At least let me meet the main wife, if I can convince the main wife to allow to let me date you the rest should be fair game right?"

Cid just raised a brow at that 'She's really enthusiastic about this isn't she? Sighhh, I really need to control my charms and good looks. If I'm not careful I'm going to be breaking many hearts' Cid thought arrogantly.

"I'll see what I can do about it" Cid said unsure if he should really go along with this.

Alexia nodded and put on a confident smirk, she then pointed her fingers close to Cid's nose and said in pure confidence "Just wait for me to get them to like me, since you said that you wouldn't mind going out with me that means you like me even if it's just a little and I'll take it. Just like how I got you to like me, I'll get them to do the same."

Alexia then left the rooftop walking confidently.

Cid was just there in silence before he let out a smirk of his own while slightly rubbing his chin "who knew being so confident, would make someone look hotter, especially in a woman"

Cid just shook his head in amusement and left the roof top as well. While walking Cid pondered on what he should do about the Alexia situation, while he was deep in thought a girl came walking with a pile of books in her hands

Cid thought she would move out the way when he sensed her but she didn't which made her crash into him causing her to fall and spill her pile of books.

"Ooooff, ouchie" she said as she fell

When Cid saw her he knew exactly who she was she was Sherry Barnett, the supposed step daughter of the vice principal of the academy.

(Pics)

'I see the terrorist attack is close then, that's good' Cid thought as he offered his hand and helped her up.

"Are you okay, sorry about that I was deep in thought and wasn't looking where I was going." He said as he helped her up.

She in embarrassment waved her hands infront of herself "N-No don't worry, it's my fault I wasn't watching where I was going" she then started to dust off her skirt and crouched down to pick up the books she dropped, which Cid helped as well.

He took a hold of a few books and said "This is too much for you to be carrying all by yourself, here let me help you carry them, where do you need to go"

Sherry just rapidly shook her head while blushing due to embarrassment "N-No, i couldn't possibly bother you with such a trivial task"

"I'm not giving you these books until you point me to a location where we are going" Cid said teasing her.

Sherry then lowered her head and shyly said "The library"

Cid nodded and started walking, he then turned when he realized she wasn't moving and said "Well what are you waiting for"

Which brought Sherry out of her daze "R-Right" she said as she started following Cid towards the library...
