Season 2, Chapter 2: For This

  The House of the Supreme Ruler looked unrecognizable. The once dusty corridors now shone like mirrors, the windows let in the sunlight and the aromas of freshly prepared food floated through the corridors. The three maids, with Eli's help, had transformed the place into a true palace worthy of the ruler of the biuniverse.

  In every corner you could breathe calm... and for the first time in a long time, everyone could relax.

  Elizabeth: "At last this house looks like a decent home!"

  Lightning: "Yes, yes... but don't touch my reserve of energy drinks, huh?"

  Charlotte: "They better hide them from you, Lightning. We don't want you to end up shaking again."

  Lightning: "Ha! As if they were going to stop me."

  Valterion: "Please... have a little composure. This house represents the ruler. If he looks bad... he looks bad."

  Elizabeth: "Yes, yes, we know you have a carpet with your gentleman's shield and the whole thing!"

  The laughter didn't take long to fill the room. Little by little, the maids had fit perfectly with the group. Alaya got along especially well with Elizabeth and Charlotte; Trisha spent time with Valterion and Scarlett, sharing long talks about discipline and order; and Mimi... Mimi had earned a very special place.

  Juan saw something in Mimi that he could not ignore: it reminded her too much of her nephews. His restless questions, his direct way of speaking and his occasional clumsiness caused him to smile sincerely.

  Mimi: "Ruly... can I ask you something?"

  Juan: "Mimi, you should already know that you never ask, you just shoot."

  Mimi: "Hahaha, well... can I accompany him in his morning routine?"

  Juan: "Really? I didn't think you were so early."

  Mimi: "Please, I'm one of those who get up earlier than the sun."

  Juan: (smiling) "It's okay... but don't complain later."

  ?

  The next morning...

  The sun had not yet risen when Mimi woke up... only to find Juan's empty bed.

  This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

  Mimi: "Where is...?"

  In that, from the window he saw a figure moving at an impressive speed. It was Juan... he had been training for a while.

  The scene was impressive. Juan ran through the forest at a superhuman speed, jumping rocks as if they were steps and moving with impossible agility. Then he trained his reflexes in the water, hitting the surface with a precision that formed small whirlwinds. Every movement seemed planned, every breath controlled.

  Mimi (thinking): "So... that's the Ruler's routine..."

  Juan finished his training and met with Mimi, who was still in shock.

  Juan: "Tired just of watching?"

  Mimi: "Ehhh... no, no... I was just... impressed."

  Juan laughed and they both went back to the house. Before leaving, Juan stopped at the front door.

  Juan: "I'm leaving, family... I'll be back right now!"

  Charlotte: (romantic) "I'll be waiting for you... my love!"

  Valterion: (firm) "Take care, my lord."

  Elizabeth: (somewhat blushed) "Behave yourself... or at least not so much."

  Lightning: (laughing) "Don't get sentimental, man! Come back quickly!”

  Scarlett: (sleepy) "Don't be late... zzz..."

  Juan smiled. Those everyday moments... were what I valued the most.

  ?

  The day of the Ruler was quiet. Juan solved problems in different villages, helped restore homes and gave hope to those who needed it. Mimi, who accompanied him, couldn't help but notice something: Juan never used his strength to resolve conflicts. He always talked, always gave options... he always showed patience.

  At the end of the day, while they were returning home, Mimi couldn't take it anymore.

  Mimi: "Ruler... during all this time... I have never seen you use your strength. Why?"

  Juan stopped. His expression became serious.

  Juan: "Because violence... is the last thing that must be used. A true ruler does not win by force... but because people follow him with their hearts."

  Mimi was shocked. That answer... I had never heard it from anyone.

  Mimi: "Now I understand... why everyone admires you so much."

  The silence broke when Mimi talked about her past. She wasn't just a maid; she was the pillar of her family. Her brothers depended on her, and when they offered her this job, she did not hesitate for a second to accept it.

  Juan: "You're amazing, Mimi... I promise you that your brothers won't lack anything as long as I'm here."

  Mimi, who had stood firm during the conversation, couldn't help but shed some tears. For Juan, she could be a warrior of the biuniverse... but at that moment, she looked like a little girl who just wanted to feel safe.

  Mimi: "Thank you... Ruler."

  Juan: "Please, just tell me Juan."

  ?

  On the way back, they both heard a cry for help. They ran to the sound source and found some guys bothering a mother and her son.

  Juan: "Do you want me to take care of that?"

  Mimi: "No, sir... leave it to me."

  Juan: "Are you sure?"

  Mimi: (smiling) "It's not for nothing that I was one of the best warriors in the biuniverse... but now... I'm the best dust cleaner in the universe!"

  Mimi jumped like lightning. He dodged a blow, twisted the arm of one of the thugs and with a quick movement threw him to the ground. He left another unconscious with a direct kick in the face.

  Juan: "I'm glad I didn't get involved... it would have stolen the show from me."

  ?

  When they were about to get home, Mimi asked him one last question.

  Mimi: "Ruly... why are you really fighting?"

  Juan stopped. He looked at the sky, thought for a moment... and then looked at his home.

  Juan: “For this.”

  Mimi looked at the house and saw all her friends waiting for them. Laughing, joking... enjoying life.

  Mimi (thinking): "Now I understand... why people follow him... and why he is the Supreme Ruler."

  ?
