RISE OF EROS

With that plan in place, Andrew set to work. He quickly sent for Dino and once he arrived at the office he was given his orders as discussed.

Dino was not slow to agree either. He took the money and set off on his mission. To avoid arousing suspicion Oliver had proposed that Dino buy the dimensional bag outside the city, although it was difficult for Johan to find out about his every move, it was better to be safe, especially when Johan knows Dino.

Dino being a former Shadow agent obviously had the stealth skills necessary to get out of the Heavenly Palace undetected, unfortunately, Raven who was constantly watching them was much more skilled than him and noticed him on his way out.

Since Donald had tasked Raven with watching Andrew and Oliver specifically, he couldn't follow Dino, but since Raven was the head of the Valoid Marquisate's intelligence organization, it wasn't hard for him to send one of his best agents after him.

Unaware that he was being followed, Dino left the city and headed for a nearby town. There were several small cities in the vicinity of the capital, but Dino decided to travel a little further and visit a larger city, as it was likely that in small cities he would not get some of the materials he was ordered or worse, not even find a dimensional bag.

Dimensional bags are not really rare, however, they are not objects that normal people can lay their hands on. Not because of their rarity, but because of their cost, so to avoid trouble Dino went to a medium-sized city a little further away.

As he set out on his journey, in the Heavenly Palace office, the meeting continued. "Honney, how did we get our abilities?" asked Aki seriously.

Andrew at the question, knew what she was thinking. Last time Aki was almost killed for acting recklessly, since that time she has been training with Oliver to improve her strength, so Andrew guessed that Aki wanted to awaken an ability to get stronger.

Although she didn't say it, Helena also had the same thoughts as Aki. She also wanted to know how to get an ability faster, because, although it didn't seem like it, both she and Aki had a similar thought to Carolina's.

Andrew had not noticed that his wives were eager to be helpful. In their thoughts, the girls didn't think they were helping Andrew much, and now that Carolina got something so good they wanted it too.

Seeing the determined gleam in his wives' eyes, Andrew, could only place a bitter expression and say, "Sorry girls. From what I understand it's a random thing, there is no formula, it just happens at some point."

Listening to Andrew, Helena, and Aki put on disappointed expressions. Andrew wanted to cheer them up but decided not to, as Fluffy had spoken to him at the time scolding him for being too overprotective of them.

According to Fluffy, Andrew was limiting his wives. It was true that the Eros gods were very loving to their wives and protected them firmly, but not to the point of not letting them experience pain.

Fuffly said that if he didn't let them face challenges on their own, they would not progress. Andrew at first didn't want to believe what Fluffy was saying, but when he remembered Carolina's insecurities, he couldn't deny what he said.

In fact, there was a possibility that thanks to the pressure Carolina felt from not feeling useful, was the reason that could awaken her ability so quickly, so it was better not to comfort his wives for every little thing even though it hurt him to see them depressed, he decided to believe in Fluffy.

Trying not to focus on the sad looks on his wives' faces, Andrew went back to talking to Oliver and Marie about another subject that he had discussed with Fluffy. "Oliver, Marie, I now have a very special question to ask you."

Andrew's abrupt change of expression caused them to become serious. Andrew seeing that he got their attention asked, "Are you willing to have an open relationship?". The strange question took the two guardians by surprise.

Even Helena and Aki came out of their sadness and looked quizzically at Andrew, but he didn't look at them. He kept his serious gaze on Oliver and Marie waiting for their answer.

Oliver remained stoic at the question. He was thoughtful, as he knew Andrew wanted to talk about something of great importance, however, Marie on the other hand had a dark expression.

She knew that in this world polygamy was practically a norm, but still, she did not want to share Oliver, however, she did not dare to express it. Oliver after a few seconds of thought and not understanding the reason for the question instead of answering asked another question, "What do you mean by that young master?".

"Well, as I already said and you know, I am a candidate for god Eros, so my power grows thanks to eroticism and sex. This also applies to my subordinates, especially those to whom I have given a seal," Andrew said pausing.

"For this reason, you are strengthened in the same way, so an open relationship is more beneficial to you, however, I know you started a relationship recently, so I wanted to know if you had the conviction to see other people."

The office fell silent. Helena and Aki did not intervene, as it was not their decision and Oliver was again thinking. Marie was the one who was most distressed and her bitter expression was proof of that.

Andrew had already noticed that Marie was reluctant, but he didn't say anything, he wanted to hear the decision they made and after a few minutes, Oliver spoke again, "Young master, honestly I had already decided never to take a partner and yet I took Marie, so I don't think I need any more partners."

Oliver's words lit up Marie's face instantly. Small tears could be seen at the corners of her eyes, she was clearly happy that Oliver only considered her his only girl.

Andrew smiled upon hearing Oliver's response and seeing the happy expression on Marie's face, asked despite knowing the answer, "I assume Marie feels the same way right?" to which Marie responded with a strong nod like a chicken eating rice.

"Well, since that's your decision I won't intervene, but since it will reduce your ability to improve, I'll tell you another thing," Andrew said. Oliver remained with his mild expression, but Marie was very attentive, as she was afraid that Andrew would force them to do something they didn't want to do.

"Since you guys don't plan to have other partners, why don't you make a lovers' pact?" said Andrew with a smile. The two guardians were at a loss at this term and seeing their expressions Andrew began to explain.

"The lover's pact is a ritual that two people establish to become a couple for eternity, not even death annuls this pact. With it you can be husband and wife eternally," Andrew explained and continued.

"In this way, you will have a soul connection, very similar to mine and my wives. This not only serves to demonstrate your love, but as bearers of the guardian seal your tokens of affection will strengthen you further."

"In short, since we don't want to have other partners, by making this pact we will compensate for those benefits we are turning down Right?" asked Oliver and Andrew smiled as he nodded his head in agreement.
