章節 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.
