CHAPTER 237: TRUE LOVE

"Miss Sayuri, here are the papers you requested..." A servant says as he hands me a stack of papers that I would normally leave for others to do.

’...Is this always so boring?’ There’s so much, I never realized I had so much information to check to avoid causing problems, usually a bunch of heralds would come together to do the work that I just toss around.

’Why am I making an effort for this?’ I don’t understand why I’m trying to do my job, am I really just doing it because of Shizune and what she said?

"..." I don’t feel good without Yui, we had a fight and now she’s gone...my last conversation with her was a fight, and that’s giving me a bad case of the jitters.

"She’s my sister now..." I think about everything she said to me, those horrible things I can’t defend myself against, Yui really disappeared because of me, I knew the risks, but I was too petty.

’What should I do...’ I’m confused, I cursed Shizune in a moment of anger and now because of that the damage caused is irreversible, I didn’t think things would get so bad.

"Haaa..." I receive a photo out of nowhere, I look at the photo, an obvious taunt that Nyarlisse is playing on me, but I can’t feel angry.

"Shizune in an office writing on various papers..." That’s the image, nothing special, of course just on the surface, between the lines it’s obviously Nyarlisse’s house.

"Why would she be with that lump of deformed meat?" I mutter angrily, it’s not like I have any right to want to be with her now, our relationship has gone too far and now I either accept the sibling relationship or it all ends permanently.

I admit, maybe I was wrong, I shouldn’t have put that curse on her, there were much calmer and more efficient options that wouldn’t have caused so many problems.

"I hate to admit...but I was wrong..." I still can’t forget how much I loved this human, but their betrayal really hurt me, and I let the anger take over, but now that Yui is gone I just feel empty.

"She...seems so cold..." I look at the image, her eyes are 1 of each color, one eye completely black and one green eye, because she is the new [Life] her green eye is very vivid and full of positivity.

But her other eye shows something different, it is empty, like someone who has suffered too much and just gave up on everything, leaving things as they are for a stability that may help her.

"That wretch..." Another photo arrives, an almost identical version of the photo, Shizune sitting at a desk writing on papers, but Nyarlisse is now in the image, she has tentacles wrapped around Shizune, soiling her with that disgusting goo.

’Even like that...she just continues doing her work...’ Like a machine that just has to do its job regardless of the conditions, this makes me feel strange since it wasn’t for this broken girl that I fell in love.

"Damn...so that’s how it ends? She’ll never forgive me, we’ll never have a good relationship again, we’ll be like two sisters who don’t get along, just tolerate each other because we work together while she lives with that wretched busty girl just for convenience..."

"I really...didn’t want this..." I can’t stop her, I can’t touch her, I can’t do anything to her, because as she said, my whole power depends on [Life], I’ve lost any power I had over her before.

I don’t feel I was wrong to punish her, she betrayed me and I’ll never regret having punished her for that, but as much as it hurts, I chose the wrong method, there were infinite methods that wouldn’t have caused problems.

But I chose the worst of them, and now the results are out of my control because I was unable to foresee how far she would go, and she went too far for anyone’s good.

"Another photo...is she really going to brag about everything she does?" I wonder, looking at the photo, it’s almost the same thing, but now Shizune is sitting on Nyarlisse’s lap while working.

By the expression, it’s obvious that Nyarlisse is doing something perverted and depraved, but Shizune doesn’t even react, just works while calmly accepting everything, a calmness that reminds me of Yui, who always did her work with too much effort.

"This...makes me so angry..." She was mine, why did she have to betray me and destroy our perfect future life? Now I have to accept this horrible reality of being sisters who will never get along again.

"What was I going to do again? I didn’t even think about it?" I guess I never really thought about what to do when she obviously started hating me.

I thought that maybe after a few millennia to millions of years of suffering, it would make her regret it and also be the time for me to calm down and try to reconcile our relationship, without ever thinking about the most obvious, that she would start hating me.

"That’s it...I was wrong about the most obvious thing of all, she was a human..." Their time is different, their body is different, and how they process things is also different, for me a few million years is nothing.

But for a human, 1000 years is a long time, the time I made Shizune suffer was disproportionate to her human mind, I made her suffer in a way that only a high-level being could endure.

And now as a consequence I have to watch the broken result of this choice, an irreversible choice since even going back in time wouldn’t be able to prevent it because now she is timeless.

"I wish...I had thought better about this before doing it..." I murmur, looking at the photo, Nyarlisse with a huge, happy smile taking care of Shizune in the way she thinks is best.

...

...

...

"Okay, Shizune, how about we go eat? I think we’re done with work for today," I say with a smile, grabbing Shizune and taking her with me to the kitchen, I really enjoyed touching her again and exploring her new little body, she’s so cute.

"Sure..." She just agrees, like a programmed toy that just says yes, I know this is just a way for her to deal with the pain and not a real agreement, but I don’t care.

As long as she feels guilty and wants to suffer, she won’t disobey me or care about what I do, and with that I’ll have time to one day penetrate the darkness in her heart and clean it with my love.

The truth is that yes, I’m angry at Shizune, she ran away from me without reason, but it’s also a fact that I love her, I loved her even before she had this curse, since she indirectly saved me.

And I don’t care that she ran away when she handed herself to me on a silver platter, I’m going to heal the pain in her heart and make her happy again, maybe it will take a few million years, but one day I’ll make Shizune happy again.

I’ll heal all her pain, and on that day she’ll realize that my love is the best of all and that I know how to take care of her, I can be clingy, but I really care about her.

Quickly we reach the kitchen where I put Shizune in a chair at the table and get a plate to put her meal on.

"Here’s your food, Shizune," I say, quickly serving a plate for her, it was made instantly, but the next one I’ll make personally with my own hands since I prefer to cook for her instead of just giving her something quickly like this.

"..." She looks at the plate, seeing slimy tentacles still wriggling, she doesn’t want the best treatment, she just wants something that will make her feel better, and for some, feeling one pain masks another.

One day I’ll make her lose any pain, but for now I can only keep treating her in the way she needs to be treated, and that way is one that causes her some pain and a sense that she is paying for her mistakes.

"Thank you for the meal..." She says, picking up the tentacle with her hand and putting it in her mouth, when she takes a bite the tentacle shoots out a liquid that gets her dirty and drips on the plate, but she keeps eating.

"What do you think of the flavor?" I ask excitedly, now that she is [Life], nothing I do will kill her, I can be as tough as I want in sex and I can use my tentacles to explore every little corner of her body.

"It’s good, actually very good, it just moves too much..." She says as I confirm, of course it moves, considering it was just cut off my body.

"Well, it’s good that you like it, there’s plenty more where that came from," I say, petting her head while creating an image and sending it to Sayuri, she deserves to suffer a little, so I’ll send her lots of images of everything I do.

"After dinner, how about we take a bath together?" I say, hugging her from behind, my breasts touching her soft hair, I have to say I liked the green streaks in her hair, it’s actually kind of cute.

"Okay" She just confirms while continuing to eat, while I’m thinking about what would be the cutest outfit to dress her in with her new appearance.

’Don’t worry, Shizune, I’ll take exquisite care of you,’ I release her from the hug, sitting at the table next to her and observing her face, her lifeless look in one of her eyes bothers me, but one day I’ll cure that pain with love.
