Shadow Monarch From Another World

Side Story 3: Shadow Dairies

Author's POV

Chapter 1 of Shadow Dairies: Surprise

"Hey, what's wrong? Why you guys called me?" Jisoo soon appeared after using Shadow Exchange to the house of Sung Jinwoo and Cha Haein who got married. Jisoo looks over to her Grand Marshals, Igris, Bellion, and Beru who were visible stressed, mainly Igris.

Jisoo rose one of her eyebrows. "What happened?" She asked before Beru went to her with all tears in his eyes. "My Queen! Something is wrong with Lady Haein!" Beru cried as taking another tissue from Jisoo who magically made it appear. Jisoo was shocked before her expression changed. "What happened to Haein? Where's Jinwoo?" Jisoo asked since she knew Jinwoo would never leave Haein alone if there was something wrong. 

She knew her cousin well and how protective he is. 

"My Queen, Our Liege said he was going to store to check if they had this item called body spray. Lady Haein been very sensitive with her sense of smell. She can't stand Our Liege's scent which I find it very strange, she likes how he smells often." Bellion points out, making Jisoo confused and makes her think. 

That's weird. Haein never found Jinwoo's scent to be bad. I mean it was love at first smell that got those two into each other. That's so- Wait a second. Jisoo's eyes widen in pure shocked as she turns to the Three Grand Marshals with a poker face. 

"Did Haein been acting strange lately besides her sensitive smell?" Jisoo asked, making her shadows confused before they proceed to answer her question. "Yes, she been feeling sick couple of days. Having strange cravings for food and tired most of the time, why?" Beru explained to her, making Igris realized what Haein been experiencing the past few weeks. After all, he was human once and he was married too. 

Jisoo lets out a disbelief sigh as her hand went through her face. "Dear God...Haein is pregnant." She voiced with disbelief and hint of annoyance for Jinwoo didn't realize it earlier. She wanted to smack him on the head for not realizing Haein was pregnant like how he didn't realize that he liked her. 

How clueless was her cousin?

"What's pregnant?" Beru and Bellion asked in confusion by the strange word. Jisoo looks at them, but she didn't judge them because Beru is ant where ants come from eggs and Bellion came from the World Tree. They didn't know about pregnancy. 

She surprised how her father, Ashborn even knew about pregnancy despite he wasn't born like normal people do. 

Jisoo gives a look to Igris who followed her league. "It means Lady Haein is with child. The future heir of Our Liege." Igris says, making Beru and Bellion shocked while Jisoo facepalms, knowing she had to tell them one day of the birds and the bees thing which she knew that Jinwoo had to cancel the portals where they watch Jinwoo is doing most of his time, when it came between him and Haein doing some couple activities. 

"REALLY?! MY LIEGE IS GOING TO BE A FATHER?! WE'RE GETTING OUR HEIR?!" Beru cries out with big tears falling from his eyes while Bellion give a salute by knowing the day has come for Jinwoo to have an heir. 

He never got to experience and especially when Ashborn had to hide Jisoo's existence in order to protect her from the Monarchs and the war. 

Jisoo nodded, making Beru cried more and grabbing more tissues as Igris moves close to Jisoo. "I'm very glad that you help out on this one, Igris. I'm surprised." Jisoo says with her hands inside of her pockets. Igris gives respectful nod as he had his right hand on where his heart was. "Back when I was human, I was married and knew about this very well. I fear My Liege will have to make sure Lady Haein's conditions are alright with the future heir's powers. That heir might possess great power." Igris points out cautiously. Jisoo places her hand on her chin and proceed into a deep thought. 

He's right. I don't know how Umma handle my powers while she was pregnant with me. Appa said that he had to seal my powers when I was born. Maybe I should ask him for advice by knowing Haein might go through the same thing as Umma did. Jisoo thought deeply, knowing being pregnant with the child of the Shadow Monarch, especially their spouse is human could bring some dangers on the mother. 

It was matter of fact and Haein wasn't the same S-Ranked Hunter as the previous timeline. 

She was human and she didn't possess her great power like last time. That's what worried her deeply since Haein didn't have powers. 

Jisoo heard the door open and revealing Jinwoo who came back the store. "Huh, Jisoo? What are you doing here?" Jinwoo asked, making the Three Grand Marshal knee down in full respect and admiration while Beru was still crying. Jisoo took a deep breath before she proceeds to him and give him a big smack on the head. 

Jinwoo groaned, having his head while looked at Jisoo. "Hey, what the hell was that for?" Jinwoo asked while Jisoo look so done with him very much. 

"Well, congratulations on procreating, dear cousin." Jisoo says with sarcasm in her voice. Jinwoo was confused for moment until his eyes went wide of realization and look at Jisoo in shock. 

Jisoo shook her head and facepalm again. 

How did Haein end up falling for this idiot cousin of mine? Jisoo thought. 

Chapter 2 of Shadow Dairies: New Shadows and Residents. 

 "Okay, today we will be calling out the names of our shadows and the species of the residents." Jisoo announced to everyone in front of her while she was sitting on her throne and reading the papers out loud. "Blades." Jisoo called out to the Shadow Snow Elf who bear striking resemblance of Baruka. Blades gives a bow to Jisoo before she proceeds the next one. "Bigrock." She says as giant stone golem stepped up and give his respectful bow to Jisoo. He was named by Jinwoo who clearly pick the bad name for the golem. 

"Cerbie." Jisoo said as revealing huge Shadow three headed dog who came from Cerberus the Gatekeeper's species whom she found her in a different world where she died from her battle with unknown hero. Cerbie barked while Cerberus looks at her with his tail swinging. 

"Lupa, Romulus, and Remus." She said as revealing three giant Shadow wolves who bow their heads. She found them in another world and nearly alive. She decided to give them a proper life for them. She named them after the Roman Mythology Lupa the She-Wolf and the founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus. 

Jinwoo was surprised she adopted more dogs. 

"As for our new residents whom I pick up. Dwarves of Stoneguard Mountain, the Lizardmen, and the kobolds." Jisoo adds, revealing the new residents of the Shadow Realm as she was developing new cities, landscape, and more details for Shadow Realm to feel like human and of course, for Suho when he comes a Player to be trained and help him to level up properly. 

"This will be your new home. We're still working on expending and creating new landscape for Shadow Realm." Jisoo explains to them; they nodded and give thanks to her for taking them in while they had nowhere to go. They were in pretty bad shape when Jisoo found along with racist humans, she taught them a very valuable lesson of what happens for bullying on someone of a different race. 

At least she didn't kill them. 

"Igris, is it me or Our Queen starts resembling the Father King Ashborn?" Bellion asked to Igris. He looks at Jisoo and seeing her resembling Ashborn in the way he was compassionate to other species who were casted out of their own race and families. One of the reasons why he took them in and give them residence in the Shadow Realm. 

Even someone like Igris who lost everything that he holds dear. 

Igris lets out sigh and looked rather happy. 

"Of course, she is, Bellion. She is the daughter of Our Previous King"
