RISE OF EROS

Andrew couldn't say anything, when Helena and Candice grabbed Kacta and Sumili and like Zany they were dragged to the joint room next to the office, without being able to refuse.

These Amazons are far superior in terms of strength to Andrew's wives, but they still could not escape from them and were kidnapped. Seeing the situation, Andrew couldn't help but be astonished like the old women were.

At that moment, he saw that the girls had left the children in the office and quickly said, "Wait, what happen with the children?," but Aki, who was the last to enter the room, said, "It's been a while since they've seen his father".

With a sharp slam, the door closed and Andrew was left like a fool staring into space and only reacted when he heard the laughter of the old Amazon women. Andrew could only laugh bitterly at the situation, but he quickly recovered and took his children from the flour and sat with them on the couch.

The old women followed Andrew and watched him play with his children for a few moments, as they knew that Andrew had been away for a while, and although for adults that time could not be considered long, for children of that age it was different, so they let them have their reunion.

Despite that, Andrew didn't make them wait long either. After a few minutes, Andrew stopped playing with his children, but he did not push them away, he just kept them close, but the old women understood that he was already paying attention to them.

"Where are we?" the elderly Bita, who is the most familiar with Andrew, immediately asked. "In the capital of the Cannaris empire," Andrew responded as he caressed the face of his little daughter.

The old women were surprised, because in less than a second they had traveled kilometers away, but this also excited them, because although Andrew had told them that he could teleport them, they were still skeptical.

While it is true that these old women know a lot about the gods and candidates for gods, since they lived through the war against the fallen god and the abysmals 1,000 years ago, that did not mean that they knew everything.

Manipulating space is not something that just anyone can do. There are space wizards in this world, but not even the most powerful of them would have the ability to do what Andrew had done.

Furthermore, Andrew had already told them that he was a candidate for the god Eros and his domain is sex and eroticism, so the ability to manipulate space should not be possible.

However, the situation was that they did not know the capabilities of a temple such as the Heavenly Palaces. Temples are an extension of the world of gods into the mortal world through the divinity of gods or god candidates.

Since no candidates for god have appeared in this world in a long time, that is why a divine temple like the Heavenly Palaces has never existed, so these women do not know anything about its capabilities, but that is going off-topic.

The old ladies had regained their calm and Bita spoke again, "Is it possible to leave this establishment?", to which Andrew smilingly replied, "Of course, you can, but the appearance of 5 such powerful demigoddesses will cause panic."

Bita and the other old ladies obviously understood what Andrew meant. While there were no demigods other than Arturios under the king's command, that didn't mean there weren't any around, just that they didn't show themselves.

However, if these amazons suddenly appeared on the city streets, things would be different. Knowing this, the grannies did not insist on leaving and preferred to stay talking to Andrew.

"Before, you said that you could take us to other places, apart from this place where else?" asked the old woman Anka who is the leader of the Amazons and Andrew immediately responded, "Only where my Heavenly Palaces are established. At the moment this one was the first, there is one in the kingdom of Dunnas and also in Star City."

The old women immediately became happy when they heard this because those two locations were near to the men they liked the most, the barbarians. Amazons and barbarians have a lot in common.

Both are races that value strength and also have a similarity in terms of genetics. While the Amazons are prone to giving birth to women, the barbarians are prone to procreating men.

For this reason, they are two somewhat predestined races, because when they come together, these dominant genetic traits collide and in some way compensate for each other. That is why sons and daughters between barbarians and Amazons have a fairly equal percentage of being born boys or girls.

Although it is also true that an Amazon or a barbarian can be born, which would be a different race from one of the parents, these two races were still attracted to each other, but unfortunately, they are very separated and that is why their unions are rare.

What Andrew never thought was that he would hear Elder Anka say, "Star City? I wonder how that old Douma is doing." Although Andrew didn't know that name, an image of him came to mind.

Who was old and powerful enough for a woman like Elder Anka to remember in the Star City? Only the image of the guardian deity of the barbarians came to his mind.

Curious, he couldn't help but ask, "Elder Anka, that old man named Douma you mentioned, isn't by any chance the barbarian guardian of Star City, right?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Not only the old lady Anka was surprised, but all the other old ladies were also surprised and quickly asked, "Do you know him?", to which Andrew replied with a somewhat ironic expression, "Well, we had a little encounter."

The old ladies, seeing Andrew's expression, immediately wrinkled their eyebrows, and Elder Anka asked a little annoyed, "Did he make things difficult for you?" Seeing the old woman's change of attitude, Andrew thought carefully about what he should say, as this could cause problems, but in the end, he decided to tell the truth.

Andrew told them what had happened, including the visit from the assassin society member and the talk with the guardian of Star City. By the time Andrew finished his story, Elder Anka's frown had already relaxed and she only commented, "At least that old man knows what's good for him."

Intrigued Andrew asked, "So, do you know him?", but Bita was the one who responded with a smile, "He's just an old suitor of old lady Anka." Andrew and Oliver opened their eyes in surprise at the revelation and the Elder Anka, feigning annoyance, scolded her, "Bita!"

Bita and the other old ladies laughed at Elder Anka's reaction, as seeing an old woman like Anka blush was quite a strange sight. Andrew wanted to ask more about the topic because he thought it was an interesting story, but he didn't dare.

The Elders, seeing the curious expression on Andrew's face, smiled and one of them, the Elder Dufina explained, "It is a story from more than 1,000 years ago, before the war. On the lost continent, the territory of the Amazons and the Barbarians were neighbors, so marriages between our races were common.

She paused and the old woman Lamba, as if taking over, continued, "The young Douma went into our forest and met the most beautiful and promising flower of the time, Elder Anka."

Elder Hacta continued the story, "It was instant love, but they were both the most promising young generation of their respective races, so their union was difficult and then war broke out, so they never got together."

Elder Anka seemed upset with her Friends for revealing her youthful love story, but she didn't say anything, after all, they weren't telling lies. Andrew was fascinated by the story, but after a few seconds, he couldn't help but ask, "I understand why they couldn't join together, but the war was a long time ago, why didn't you do it later?"

This time, Bita responded, "Well, they were the ones chosen to protect and maintain their respective races. Elder Anka is our leader and superior, our protector if you want to say that, and Douma is the same for the barbarians."

A silence fell in the office and Andrew who saw Elder Anka could swear that he saw a little sadness in the old lady's eyes and unconsciously asked, "Elder Anka, do you still love him?"

If before it had been silent, after Andrew's question a cemetery would be more lively. The Elders even seemed to have a hint of fear and Andrew, noticing this, became worried, because he may have stepped on a landmine with his question.

However, to everyone's surprise, Elder Anka was not bothered and calmly replied, "To say that I love him right now, I don't think it is appropriate. It's been a long time and we lost the best time of our lives, but I will admit that he is the only man I ever loved."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Elder Anka was not upset and even she was sincere in her response. The reason why the other elders were scared was because they knew that the topic of Douma for Anka was taboo.

When everyone was relaxed, Andrew suddenly dropped another bombshell in the room, "Do you want to see him again? Before, although it could be an inconvenience, now with me here things are different."

Everyone looked at Andrew strangely, because he sounded like a matchmaker. Even Elder Anka had a strange look on her face and she couldn't help but say, "I thought you were a candidate for god Eros, why are you playing the god of love?"

Although the question surprised him, Andrew laughed and replied, "It is true that my domain is sex and eroticism, but the domain of love is closely related to me. So, do you want to see him?"
