章 222: Chapter 221
[Third Person's PoV]
"Now that you've got your daughter safe and sound, you can leave," Shadow said, waving Cid and the others away dismissively. His voice carried a hint of mockery, and a sly grin stretched across his face, further irritating Cid.
Cid felt his eye twitch, a vein threatening to pop as he inwardly grumbled, 'Was he always this insufferable'
"Come now, my lord, there's no need to be so brusque," Alpha(2) chimed in, stepping forward with a gentle smile. Her eyes sparkled with curiosity as she glanced at her counterpart. "They could stay for a while, couldn't they? I'd like to learn more about them and the world they come from."
Alpha(2) turned her gaze back to Shadow, her voice growing persuasive. "Imagine what we could learn, especially if they hail from a time beyond our own."
Shadow's eyes narrowed into a sharp glare. "No," he said flatly, his tone brooking no argument. "I don't want spoilers. One word out of place, and I'm kicking all of you out."
Cid scoffed, crossing his arms. "Who said anything about staying? We were just leaving." His voice dripped with challenge.
"Good," Shadow shot back with a matching scoff.
"Great," Cid retorted, his volume rising as if in a petty contest.
"Fantastic!" Shadow barked, stepping closer.
"Couldn't have it any other way," Cid sneered.
A soft chuckle broke through the tension as Alpha stepped forward, swaying gently as she cradled the baby in her arms. "Staying a little longer wouldn't hurt," she said, casting a sidelong glance at her counterpart. "We could share stories about how we first met you."
Alpha(2)'s eyes lit up with excitement. "Lord Shadow found me locked in a cage on the brink of death," she said, a bittersweet smile curving her lips.
Alpha met Cid's gaze with a knowing smile, her baby nestled securely against her chest. "I was found in much the same way. He restored me, showed me the hidden truths of the world."
Alpha(2) nodded solemnly, eyes glistening with a shared understanding. "Yes, especially the truth about the Diabolos Cult…"
Shadow's eyes darted to Cid, a rare moment of uncertainty flitting across his face. 'Did he feed them the same story I did? Are we really that alike?'
Cid's eyebrow twitched at the familiar look of realization on Shadow's face. 'He's an A grade dumbass, that much is certain,' Cid thought.
Amidst the reunion, Cid shifted and handed his daughter, Loriel, to Alpha(2), who looked taken aback by the sudden gesture.
"Huh?" she murmured, eyes widening as Loriel settled into her arms.
Cid stepped past the gathered crowd, his expression hardening as he gestured for Shadow to follow. "Come with me," he said, voice low and commanding. He strode toward the jagged opening in the wall—a remnant of Shadow's recent clash with Igris.
Shadow bristled, crossing his arms defiantly. "You can't order me around—ugh!" His protest was cut short as a shadowy tendril, summoned by Cid, wrapped around his neck and dragged him forward.
"Release me!" Shadow snapped, sputtering as he pointed a finger threateningly. "I swear, I'll go Atomic!"
Cid let out a long, exasperated sigh, eyes rolling so far back they nearly disappeared. "You're insufferable."
Meanwhile, Alpha(2) cradled Loriel, gazing down at the child in wonder. The baby's soft breaths and tiny fingers curling against her own filled Alpha(2)'s heart with unexpected warmth.
Beta(2) leaned closer, her eyes flickering with curiosity. "What do you think they're discussing?" she asked.
Aurora shrugged lightly, her expression bemused. "Boy stuff, I'd guess."
Beta(2) stared at Aurora, her brow knitting as an awkward silence grew. The tension was palpable until Aurora shifted uncomfortably and tilted her head. "Yes?" she asked, trying to break the silence.
"Sorry, I'm just a bit surprised to see you…" Beta(2) said awkwardly, "You know, being who you are and with a child no less"
Celeste, who was in her arms, looked up towards Aurora tilting her head in confusion, "Mommy!" Celeste said, pointing up towards Aurora, as that's what she has always known her as and nothing else.
Aurora gained a bright smile as she kissed Celeste cheek, "That's right, I'm simply your mommy now~"
---
A few paces away, the conversation between Cid and Shadow grew tense.
"What?" Shadow snapped, regaining his composure. "Did you drag me out here for a fight? Just because you seem stronger doesn't mean I'm afraid of you."
Cid ran a hand over his face, exasperated. "The more I talk to you, the more I want to smack you," he muttered, his voice low and gravelly. He took a breath, then fixed Shadow with a serious stare.
"Are you going to fix that wall, or not? It was your Knight that made the mess." Shadow asked, pointing to the giant hole on the wall.
Cid sighed, rolling his eyes. "Yes, yes, I'll fix it." Cid's expression shifted from irritation to gravity. "Stop acting like an idiot. I can see it, and so can you. This—everything—you treat it like a game, like some elaborate act. Do you honestly believe the Cult of Diabolos is just a made-up story?"
Shadow's gaze flickered, but he quickly masked it with a smirk. "Of course. It was just a fairytale I pieced together from Claire's old books. Resurrecting a demon lord—how cliché can you get? And since your Alpha mentioned it, I guess you spun the same tale in your world."
"It's not a fairytale," Cid insisted, stepping closer. "You were right by accident. There is a cult. They are trying to resurrect Diabolos."
For a moment, Shadow's expression was unreadable, eyes narrowed and thoughtful. "I see…" he finally said, one hand rubbing his chin as if considering.
'Wait, is he actually taking this seriously?' Cid wondered, caught off guard.
Shadow's lips twisted into a half-smile. "I must be so deep into the role that I'm starting to believe it myself. I'll have to be careful, or I might end up like you."
Cid's face fell, and he massaged his temple, already regretting the conversation. "Why am I even bothering? You're hopeless Minoru."
Cold sweat ran down Shadow as he flash stepped in front of Cid, "How do you know that name?" Shadow asked with a frown.
"What part of I'm your counterpart did you not understand?"
"Even that part of my life?" Shadow asked, a bit taken aback, "I see, so you were also reincarnated…"
Shadow then narrowed his slightly as he then said, "Look, this makes believe maybe real in your world, but that doesn't make it true in mine, maybe that's what separates your world from mine,"
Cid only gave a little head shake as he began walking away shaking his head, "Just… look into it, will you? The girls are serious about this. If you treat it like a joke and someone gets hurt because of it, that's on you."
Shadow stood silent as Cid turned on his heel and strode back through the hole. The scattered stones began to shiver and rise, reassembling until the wall stood whole once more.
Shadow blinked at the seamless repair.
"..."
"That bastard locked me outside," he muttered.
章 223: Chapter 222
[Third Person's PoV]
Alpha(2) stared at the baby in her arms with a twinkle in her eyes, as if she was holding the most precious thing.
She got closer to Alpha as she muttered, "How did you do it? How did you manage to get your Lord to bed you? I mean no disrespect to my own lord but he's a bit dense when it comes to Romance" Alpha(2) eyes burned into Alpha as if wanting her secrets.
Alpha smiled, "I'm glad you asked, you see for us it was very simple… We wore something sexy, dragged him into our room, locked the door so he wouldn't escape, and had our way with him" Alpha said, giving Alpha(2) a thumbs up with a proud look.
"Huh!?"
…
A few years ago…
A younger looking Cid was seen being dragged by a younger Alpha, "Alpha… your excitement is worrying…"
Alpha blushed, "Don't worry about it… Just do as I say and don't spread your senses, we have a surprise for you, we would want for you to ruin your own surprise."
"You saying that only makes me want to use it more" Cid replied with a deadpan look.
Alpha then appeared outside a room, she opened the door and pushed Cid inside. Cid stumbled forwards into a dark room.
He suddenly froze at what he was seeing, the entire room was dark except for the candles lights scattered around.
On the bed were the 6 other girls, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta, and Eta. all of them were brushing as they looked away wearing lingerie over their bodies.
He then heard the door close and lock causing him to slowly turn around to see Alpha standing behind him by the door slowly disrobing, now also wearing a golden lingerie which matched her hair.
"Uh… I have a feeling where this is going but I must ask, What are you girls doing?" Cid asked apprehensively as he looked around, he gained a wary look as he saw the flower petals on the bed.
Alpha was the one that spoke, "You see… We've all come to an understanding that we love you very deeply, more than what words can express"
"I think you're doing a mighty fine job of articulating yourself…" Cid muttered which caused Alpha to chuckle and shake her head.
"You've done so much for us, you took us in when the rest of the world casted us out…" Alpha slowly approached Cid, going into his arms and saying, "So in return for all that you've done for us we want to pay you back with both our hearts… and with our bodies."
"You really don't have to do this, you know?" Cid said wearily.
Alpha looked up towards Cid with tears in her eyes, "But we want to! We want to give you everything, including ourselves!" Alpha exclaimed as she reached over, wrapping her arms around his neck and pulling down into a kiss, their very first kiss.
Cid was mostly taken aback as Alpha began walking forwards while still kissing him pushing him backwards.
Cid fell into the bed and laid between all of the girls, he looked between all of them and asked, "You all agreed to this?" He asked as Alpha then got on top of him.
They all bashfully nodded her their heads, except for Delta who was just happy to be there and was nodding her head in excitement along with her tail.
"Alright girls! Take his clothes off" Alpha ordered as she pointed a finger towards him.
"Huh?"
Cid then noticed their bashfulness subsiding as the twinkle in their eyes was replaced by a predatory glint.
Delta howled while Zeta purred as they each reached from his shirt and pants and ripped it off his body leaning him only on his underwear.
Cid crossed his arms over his bear chest and shrank back, "Please go easy on me… I'm fragile"
Over all Cid saw their predatory eyes narrowed more on his body.
Alpha then lowered her pose and grabbed his face before she started kissing him once more.
…
"The rest is history!" Alpha said rather proudly.
The rest of the girls that were listening stared at Alpha in disbelief, the rest of the (2) looked at their counterparts in equal shock as they nodded their heads proudly remembering the moment.
Aurora was covering Celeste's ear as he looked at them in disbelief as well as she never heard that story.
Meanwhile Celeste was looking up towards Aurora in confusion wondering why she was covering her ears.
"Seeing that it works for you then it must work for us then" Beta(2) said as a fire ignited in her eyes.
Just then Cid appeared walking back as the wall fixed itself behind him, "Shall we get going now?"
The others looked between themselves and didn't see any other reason to stay and nodded their heads.
Their counterparts looked sad to see them go but they also knew they had no reason to stay.
Alpha(2) looked sad to part with the girl in her arms as she handed her back to Cid. Alpha seeing her disappointment leaned over towards her and whispered, "If you really want something you have to simply go and take it"
Alpha(2)'s eyes ignited with passion as she nodded her head.
Cid held his daughter close as he stepped slightly away from everyone, he held his hand out and used his powers of a Monarch to open a blue pulsing portal in front of him.
The (2)'s waved their goodbyes Cid was the last to go him however before he went in he actually heard what the girls were discussing and gave them a thumbs up, "From what I know your Cid likes to be tied up and whipped it's one of his kinks and what really gets him going. He is tired of having all the power and always being in charge so he wants someone to take that power away from him,"
Beta reached behind her and pulled out a notebook and began to write everything down with a serious expression, "Thank-you" She bowed.
Cid gave her a two finger salute, "Anytime beautiful" He said before stepping inside the portal and closing it behind him.
Beta giggled and swayed happily, "Although I know he's not our lord it's like he himself said to me!"
The others looked towards Beta in envy causing her to cackle madly, her expression then turned serious, "Now to make a plan on how to bed our lord!"
