Semua Bab Emperor Shadow: Bab 381 - Bab 390

“No, NO!!!!” He plopped on the ground with an unbelievable expression on his face. His arm was extended toward the empty cliff, feeling so empty about it. His heart was torn and beating irregularly. He saw her. She was grunting, she was huffing, she was… in pain. He felt like his world was rotating and his vision narrowed. His breath clumped inside his chest, choking his throat. He dropped to the floor as his legs jerked angrily to the side. Eh? Jerking? His narrow vision fell on his empty feet. The purple blood that pinned his feet was now nowhere to be seen. As if it was his fragment of hallucination. He choked in tears, sobbing before scrambling toward the edge of the cliff. He craned his head and gazed down. His body flinched. The shallow steam was deeper than he originally thought. “Doll! Doll! Shadow! Princess!” He called his beloved daughter by various names, hoping she would answer in any given name. The sound of the calm water flow answered him instead. His eyes alread

Shuffled faster, while looking nearly suspicious, his face crumbled, and his jaw tightened. He fled straight into the forest and went toward his small cabin, where Shadow was supposed to be.A few knights greeted him as he passed by with his stoic expression, none ever questioned his motive to be near the crime scene. With a glum nod, they let him pass by them.Some offered to escort him, which he politely declined while the others silently watched him with emotional gazes. Everyone acknowledged him as part of the lion tribe, and for that, he was always grateful to them.Despite being favored by the king, he was still hellbent to be independent, therefore, purchasing the most desolate place at the peak of the mountain, away from civilization. Which gave the king and the queen a fright.Well, his process of thought constantly gave his adoptive parents a scare. Occasionally, the parents urged him to attend therapy sessions with them – which he had to comply with because he loved them an

Ignoring those annoying mouths, Albert glanced at the living room momentarily. His head was imaging a massive bed and a good cooling system and filtering system next to the window. The black curtains draped right in front of the windows to shield strong daylight. Instantly, the living room transformed into exactly what he was imagining.“Oh wow.” Firash’s mouth popped open.“His magic proficiency is unworldly.” Dhia’s eyes twinkled excitedly.Without saying anything to both of them, he climbed onto the bed while Shadow was still in his arms and instantly cuddled her. They dived inside the thin blanket and draped it on Shadows after lying her on the bed, next to him.Shadow didn’t even stir, just hugged his thigh, making it impossible to climb out of the bed. Given up on the idea, he sat next to Shadow and adjusted the blanket so it covered both of them, beckoning the other two to join them. The two of them scrambled in a glee sound and joined them. Dhia dived next to Shadow and hugg

The next morning, she completely became normal as she said. Yet, she could only escape her brothers' and sister's grasp after a strict inspection. Hence, leaving the cabin was her priority.However, the busybody siblings couldn’t simply let her go. After hours of begging and tears, Firash and Dhia let her go – not because they were so keen about it – it was because they had a prior engagement.Furthermore, they needed to report her well-being to the palace right away. According to the protocol, it was supposed to be right away, but they bent the rule just because Shadow asked them to.And, the report version would naturally be filtered.Nevertheless, Shadow sat in the gazebo that Albert created specifically for her, next to the stream that was flowing. It produced a harmonious sound. It was about one half before Alber returned with the server. The server was holding three glasses of watermelon juice and a plate of beef jerky.“Your Holiness, I had already summoned them as you instruc

Interestingly, the king’s narration was so loud inside her head. He spoke a lot for a little information. At first, it was fun, but as time went by, he became even more delusional. His inner thought inevitably gave her a headache.“Tone it down, Your Majesty…” Shadow’s face had become pale. “You are so loud.”“Yes? Oh!” Ali looked bashful.Syamsul pursed his lips and made a disapproving sound. He still couldn’t say anything back to her because her face was projecting her words. She wasn’t mocking but genuinely troubled by whatever Ali said although the king wasn’t as loud as she exclaimed to be.Albert took advantage of the situation. Ali looked genuinely hurt and Syamsul was looking at her as if she was an alien. Shadow had a lot of secrets. A few of them were disclosed as soon as they were binding through contract. “I will reveal one of her important secrets so you will understand her better. Her words and thoughts align with each other. Those are gravely linked together. You will
