80.75% The Eminence of a True Monarch of the Shadows / Chapter 213: Chapter 212 (Unedited)

Chương 213: Chapter 212 (Unedited)

[Third Person's PoV] 

Yuuka slowly took off her lab coat and reached for her shirt with a bit of reluctance before she started to light it up, slightly exposing her stomach. 

"What the hell are you doing?" Shadow asked, looking at Yuuka as if she had lost her mind. 

"You said that I would be punished… So I just thought–" 

"I should honestly smack you for even remotely thinking that's what I meant" Shadow said with a straight expression 

Yuuka slowly lowered her shirt, "Permission to speak freely, your holiness?"

Shadow's eyes practically rolled to the back of his head upon hearing what she was calling him, "Go ahead" 

"Well aren't gods supposed to be lustful and cruel beings? That is how God's are mostly depicted, they try to appear nice and grant prayers but twisting it slightly in the end. Like you would revive my husband but as a punishment I would need to be your plaything or something" Yuuka said explaining her thought process. 

"First of all, who the hell do you think I am? Zeus?" Shadow scoffed in disdained, "And Second of all, I won't repeat myself again when I mentioned I'm not a god" 

"Then what are you?" Yukka asked cautiously. 

"I am The Shadow Monarch, the physical manifestation of Death and Life itself." Shadow stated with a cold look, before turning around and walking away, "Follow me" 

Yuuka scurried to her feet and ran after him, "What's the difference between a God and Monarch?" 

"A God is practically the leading general of an element, while a Monarch is the element itself" Shadow explained in a way that she would understand. 

Yuuka's eyes widened in shock as the realization hit her, 'If he's telling the truth, he's much scarier than I thought' 

Yuuka took a gulp, "Do you mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"Depends if I find them interesting enough to answer" Shadow replied coldly as they continued walking. 

"If you are who you say you are, why are you here, isn't this world too small or uninterested for a being of your magnitude?"

"Hm…" Shadow hummed debating if he should answer or not, "Well for starters I used to belong to this world before I turned into the being you see before you, and secondly I'm bored and thought conquering a world would be fun" Shadow said as he took off his Shadow Garments. 

"WAIT!" Yuuka screamed surprising Cid as he turned to look at her with his eyes furrowed. 

"You're Minoru aren't you!?" 

Cid's eyes shifted back and forth looking at her weirdly, "Yeah… That was my name before…" 

"Wait sorry, I mean you're that child prodigy aren't you, the one that died young… Minoru Kageno… My Husband was a fan of you" Yuuka admitted with a small smile as if reminiscing, "He said that the way you managed to replicate some of the original pieces was phenomenal, some were even better than the original piece, I'll admit… I was a small time fan as well… My husband and I found it pitiful that you died so young…" 

Cid just had a small smile on his face as he continued to walk, "Flattery will get you nowhere young lady" 

"Young lady?" She muttered, "I'm over 30" 

After a bit of silence they both arrived in front of Akane's room, where Cid went in and tucked her in for the night. 

Cid saw that Akane was having a nightmare as she twisted and turned, he pressed his middle finger over her forehead which caused her breathing to calm down and rest peacefully. 

As Cid exited the room he closed the door behind him to see Yuuka waiting patiently or at least she tried to appear to be as she had a nervous expression, "When you said I was going to be punished what did you have in mind?"

Cid just smiled as she pointed back, "You're going to be her maid" Cid said as he gave the readers a look with a smile before looking back at Yuuka. 

"Wha–" 

"No where is your husband's grave?" Cid interrupted her. 

Yuuka froze as she said, "It's by the remnants of Arcadia, that was our home, our last place together where he shared happy memories…"

Cid nodded as his shadow expanded engulfing the both of them. A second later they reappeared right in the middle of a ruined civilization. 

As Yuuka looked around her hands trembled, as the place brought forth many unpleasant memories. 

"Lead the way," Cid ordered. 

Yuuka nodded and she took a deep breath and began to walk ahead. After a few minutes of walking they appear on top of a hill, "Right here, this is the place where I buried him… And made a pledge that I will make them all play for what they have done. Although someone kinda ruined that"

"Seriously?" Cid asked with a straight expression. 

"Sorry…" 

"Akane is innocent, you got the one that truly caused this, which was Akira, I would say you fulfilled your promise and revenge. Akane is a victim in this as much as you are" 

Yuuka looked at her husband's makeshift grave, and let out a soft smile, "I suppose you do have a point… But that doesn't mean I can just forgive her," 

"Which is why, being her Maid is going to be your punishment" Cid said before looking at her, "Step back" 

Yuuka did as she was told, however Cid's next words made her since shiver like she never felt them shiver before

"Arise~" 

Yuuka gulped as she slowly saw a black hand appear from the ground before a figure wearing a lab coat appeared. As he appeared, Yuuka covered her mouth as tears dripped from her face. 

"My Lord" Yuuka's husband bowed in respect to Cid. 

Cid put a hand on his shadow soldier's head, "Return to the land of the living once more" 

Yuuka's husband, Yutaka, suddenly gasped as if taking a deep breath for the first time as the black and purple coloring slowly retreated from his skin, becoming a normal human. 

Yuuka rushed past Cid and tackled Yutaka into a hug as she began to cry, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" She sobbed. 

Yutaka blinked slightly and embraced Yuuka, embracing her. 


Chương 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!?"
