Chapter 288: Shadow: I Can't Wait to See the Rivers Run Red!
Chapter 288: Shadow: I Can't Wait to See the Rivers Run Red!
"Regarding this matter, what does Yecheng... Lord Night think about it, and what does he plan to do?"
Since Yecheng already knows about this, it means he is handling it, and even though I am clueless, I just need to agree with Yecheng's opinion.
"For those who impersonate our 'Shadow Courtyard' and cause chaos in the capital, Lord Shadow suggests not to kill them all.
Instead, bring some of them back to the 'Shadow Courtyard' for interrogation, to see if we can find out something about the Order.
Another group will be taken back to the Royal Knight Order by Lord Night for questioning, so that the Midgar Kingdom will be aware of the Diablos Cult's conspiracy, and this will also ease the conflict between the 'Shadow Courtyard' and the Midgar Kingdom."
After hearing Gamma's explanation, Sida finally understood what had happened.
"I've got a general idea now, let's follow Lord Yecheng's plan.
Although the Midgar Kingdom is not much, it's still better to have one less enemy. After all, our only enemy is the Diablos Cult."
After understanding the situation, Sida decided to leave, as he felt he couldn't keep up the act any longer.
When Sida left the Quyue Trading Company, he also packed a lot of high-quality chocolates.
In Gamma's eyes, this was Shadow's way of covering his tracks, but little did they know that this was his main purpose for coming here.
"Hmm, didn't I just ask you to prepare three for me? Why did you give me so many?"
Looking at the exquisite chocolate boxes that Niu handed to him, Sida was stunned. He did ask Niu to prepare some chocolates for him, as he needed to deal with Jaga and Rxu, but he never expected Niu to prepare so many.
"Lord Shadow, you misunderstood. Those extra chocolates are actually meant to be given to Lord Night.
Because Valentine's Day is approaching, these chocolates are from the girls in the 'Shadow Courtyard' for Lord Night.
Since they rarely get to see Lord Night, and Lord Shadow is his classmate, they asked Lord Shadow to deliver them."
Sida: (▽` )
Hearing Niu's words, Sida almost couldn't hold himself together. He could understand the girls giving chocolates to their admired ones on Valentine's Day.
But damn it, if he remembered correctly, wasn't he, Shadow, the leader of the 'Shadow Courtyard'? Why on a day like Valentine's, the girls in the organization were giving chocolates to Yecheng?
Sida wasn't concerned about whether he received chocolates or not; he never paid much attention to matters of love.
What puzzled him was, why was Yecheng seemingly more popular than him, even though he was the leader of the 'Shadow Courtyard'?
"Yecheng... that Night guy, is he very popular among the 'Shadow Courtyard'?"
Confronting his doubts, Sida directly asked the question.
"Well... it's not exactly like that. Although Lord Night's popularity and reputation are high, overall, he should still be less popular than Lord Shadow. After all, the Seven Shadows were personally trained by Lord Shadow."
"Then... why... did that Night guy receive so many chocolates?"
Hearing Shadow's stuttering, Niu's face immediately showed a playful smile. As a woman with a keen mind, she had already figured out the reason for Shadow's confusion.
And so, in this state, Lord Shadow probably hasn't even met the Seven Shadows, right?
So, is Lord Shadow jealous of Lord Nightshadow now because the other party is more popular than him?
"Lord Shadow's status and popularity in the Shadow Courtyard are beyond question, and there are countless admirers of Lord Shadow.
As for why this situation arose, I think it has to do with the usual conduct of Lord Shadow and Lord Nightshadow."
"Conduct?" Sida asked, puzzled.
"Yes, as the leader of the Shadow Courtyard, Lord Shadow always gives off an aura of dignity, strength, and coldness.
Only the Seven Shadows and a select few have the opportunity to interact with Lord Shadow daily, which has led to many in the Shadow Courtyard admiring Lord Shadow from a distance, but they dare not get too close out of fear of punishment."
"In comparison, Lord Nightshadow is also incredibly powerful, but his strength is of a gentle nature.
Whether it's the Seven Shadows or the Numbered at the bottom, Lord Nightshadow treats everyone equally and even remembers the names of those Numbered. This trait is incredibly charming to any girl.
Expressing admiration for Lord Shadow may result in punishment or rejection, but doing the same to Lord Nightshadow won't lead to any consequences. Even if you're rejected, you'll receive gentle consolation. I think Lord Shadow understands this, right?"
Sida, having received all the chocolates from Niu, which contained the sentiments of the girls, ultimately turned and left in a huff.
Initially, he had planned to sell all those chocolates and make a quick profit.
But thinking about how these chocolates represented the feelings of the girls in the Shadow Courtyard, and as their leader, Sida felt it would be too disrespectful to trample on their intentions.
"Damn it! That guy from Night City is so damn charming! He's the ultimate Harem King!
If Kreya finds out about this... Oh, right, how could I forget about my sister!
Niu entrusted these chocolates, filled with the girls' affections, to me and asked me to deliver them to Night City. But since I couldn't find him, I had my sister help me pass them on. That should be reasonable, right?"
Thinking of this, Sida's previously gloomy mood instantly lifted.
When it came to being a Casanova, Sida was willing to acknowledge Night City as the ultimate. But this time, with the evidence in hand, Sida couldn't believe Night City could turn things around!
Just imagining those chocolates being handed over to Kreya and explaining their purpose, Sida couldn't help but feel excited.
Sida knew Kreya's personality better than anyone.
Don't be fooled by his and Night City's powerful reputations as 'Lord Shadow' and 'Lord Nightshadow' in the Shadow Courtyard; they were both helpless when it came to Kreya.
Sida was restrained by his bloodline, and Night City... well, it was probably a similar bloodline suppression.
Although Kreya couldn't do anything to Night City directly, if she ever felt wronged and complained to Night City's mother, Medis, then Medis would teach Night City a lesson.
So, in a way, this could also be considered a form of bloodline suppression, just that Kreya wasn't the direct suppressor but relied on external forces.
