RISE OF EROS

It’s one thing to receive a report that many houses and buildings in Cannes City were destroyed and many lives were lost, and another to hear the numbers and reactions from Zaros and the others.

Andrew wanted to know how the ancient vampire and his family felt, as Cannes is their territory. Andrew had noticed that, although they were isolated beings, they were still affectionate towards its inhabitants.

He hadn’t lost anyone special in the attack, but he did lose his temple, and that hurt him a lot, due to the characteristics of this place, so he could only imagine Zaros and his family facing the destruction caused by the battle.

Also, they didn’t just lose inhabitants and material resources, but they lost soldiers. The soldiers of the Pixoy family are vampires who swore loyalty to Zaros and his family, so they were very close. @@novelbin@@

They could be considered half-family and it’s obvious that many lost their lives, so Andrew wanted to hear how things were being handled. Lugia looked at Andrew with a tender expression upon hearing his questions.

It is known that the Eros domain and the Love domain are very close, but only now did he notice how strong that bond was. The fact that Andrew cared about Zaros and his family’s feelings was proof of that.

To be more exact, Love is the most interconnected divine domain of all. In fact, there is not a single god who does not have a connection to love. In fact, it is common knowledge among gods that losing love is the first step to falling into depravity.

Just think about it. While sex and eroticism can appear due to lust, it is more powerful when born from love. Even other divine domains have this relationship. For example, the Gods of Magic are connected due to the love of magic, Craft is similar, and even the Gods of Battle are strengthened by their love of battle.

Strange as it may seem, they are undoubtedly love. The Gods of Love may be among the weakest among the Gods, but they are also the bridge of any God to their domain.

In fact, gods fall into depravity when they lose love, as they focus on obsession. They stop loving their domain and become obsessed with it, which is why it ends up controlling them and they fall into madness.

Regardless of that, it is not the main point. Lugia was touched, as she understood that Andrew valued and showed appreciation for Zaros and the others in the city of Cannes. Lugia, although reluctant to tell him all the pain they experienced, felt that not telling him the truth was disrespectful to Andrew’s determination, so she told him everything she had seen.

She explained how Zaros felt hurt seeing the state of the city, noticing the deaths and destruction. She also told him about Damon and Abigale’s anxiety at not finding their children and even Lucian’s bitter mood.

She also did not hide from him the vampires who had died in battle. The more Andrew listened, the more hurt he felt. He blamed himself for this, knowing that Purgatory had attacked because of him.

He felt responsible and Lugia understood, so he tried to comfort him, but Andrew didn’t allow it. "I know what you mean, but this is something I can’t avoid," Andrew said.

"Is there any way to send help?" Andrew asked, which moved Lugia even more, but he had no solutions. She was silent for a moment as if thinking about what to say, but Andrew understood that she didn’t have a way.

Letting out a sigh, Andrew put the subject aside. Lugia was ashamed of not being able to give a solution, but there was nothing he could do, so he remained silent. Shortly after, Andrew’s wives, children, and guardians entered the office.

They knew Lugia was there, but they didn’t care, because the ones they didn’t want to meet were the demigods like Kael, Lyria, and others. Lugia smiled upon seeing everyone and even approached Andrew’s children to say hello and play with them a little.

She looked like a loving grandmother, which brought a smile to everyone’s faces. Even with a smile on his face, it was clear that Andrew couldn’t fully enjoy himself. Helena, who was the most versed in reading people’s expressions, approached Andrew and asked quietly, "What happened?"

Andrew wanted to answer, but not in front of the children, because although they would be involved in these problems, it was something for the future. For now, Andrew wanted them to remain children.

Helena understood this by seeing his expression, so she glanced at Carmen and as if they were speaking telepathically, Carmen nodded and approached the children and said, "Little ones, why don’t we go play in the living room?"

The children smiled and cheered happily and followed her. Then Carmen looked at Lugia and said, "Do you want to join us, Mrs. Lugia? You don’t seem to need to be here, why don’t you play with us?"

Lugia was surprised by Carmen’s proposal and although it didn’t bother her, she was hesitant to accept, but then the small hands of Andrew’s children along with their puppy-like expressions left her disarmed.

She couldn’t refuse such tenderness, so she accompanied them, but not before looking at Andrew and seeing that he didn’t refuse. When everyone left the office, Andrew began to tell them everything they had told him.

He didn’t even hold back when telling what Lugia had just told him, about Zaros and his family’s pain. The office fell into a deathly silence, no one knew what to say, since, like Andrew, they understood the situation.

They knew that all of this in some way happened because of them or more specifically Andrew, so they felt sad. Then, Andrew said, "I would like to send help, but I don’t know how."

No one responded to his words, because they didn’t have a solution either, but at that moment the always attentive and wise Gaston gave an option, "Why don’t we send our caravans?" Everyone looked at him in confusion, but Gaston smiled and said, "Our caravans are now near the River Country, so it won’t take them too long to reach Cannes by ship. We can instruct them to bring provisions."

Everyone’s eyes widened at the proposal and Andrew happily said, "Send the order immediately. Have them buy provisions and necessities. Don’t seek profits, we’ll bear that expense."

Gaston smiled as he watched Andrew regain his enthusiasm. He quickly left to send a messenger falcon to the caravan, giving the order. Although this caravan was robbed, it was now massive and there were even several of them, so they would be of substantial help.

This might not be able to repair the damage, nor bring back those who lost their lives, but at least it was a small retribution. Even if it was just to ease his own conscience, it was better than nothing and Andrew felt good about doing it.
