RISE OF EROS

Hearing Andrew's words, Candice wasted no time and began to ask since she only had 30 minutes, "Well, I'll start then, what was that glow that enveloped me yesterday?".

Although Andrew knew that Candice would ask difficult questions, now that the time came, he still couldn't help but feel a touch of bitterness, but still answered, "It's a benefit you got the moment I released, my first divinity seal."

Candice was immediately stunned because that simple sentence concealed a lot of information. "What benefits? What seal? What divinity?" asked Candice in disbelief in succession.

Andrew letting out a resigned sigh began to explain, "First, the benefits are unconventional due to my dominance, but explaining it simply let's say your lover will be blessed to be with you."

Candice didn't quite understand what Andrew said, as it was very ambiguous, however, Andrew was too embarrassed to respond that she had become satisfactory in bed that he did not explain.

Although she didn't quite understand, Candice decided to let it go, as she felt the other questions were more important, so she asked again, "What about the rest?"

"Well, the other two questions can be answered the same way. I am a god candidate, so in my soul resides divinity, but it is sealed and yesterday I released the first seal," Andrew replied.

Again, there was silence. Candice was lost with this information. The expression on her face and her aura, told Andrew, that she did not believe him and her next question corroborated Andrew's thoughts, "Are you a god candidate? What is that?".

"How do I explain this?", Andrew mumbled as if trying to find a way to answer and at that moment Fluffy spoke in his mind, "Master, this interrogation will only leave the girl in doubt, it would be better if I explain it."

Andrew knew what Fluffy wanted to do, Andrew was just reluctant because he did not know how Candice would react, but at this moment, he believed that Fluffy was right, so he resigned himself to follow the suggestion of his divine beast.

The release of the first seal, not only benefited Andrew, but also Fluffy. Previously, Fluffy could only help him manage the system, giving him suggestions and helping him search for skills, but now it was different.

Fluffy could exercise some of his power and support Andrew more directly. One example was the soul-binding contract he had used before. It should be known that mortal binding contracts could not bind Andrew, but Fluffy could create contracts that did because he had divinity.

Simply put, the contract used, was made by Fluffy. While he could do these things, he was not so free as to issue contracts left and right, in fact, he needed a little help from Andrew.

To be more clear, it wasn't that Fluffy could use his powers now, but that Andrew could trade points in his system in exchange for the manifestation of some of Fluffy's abilities.

"Miss Candice, explaining things to you this way will be complex, so I would like to be bold and use a better method," Andrew said seriously, but the slight blush on his cheeks, made Candice doubt.

Despite her doubts, Candice allowed it, as she knew Andrew was under the effects of the contract and would have to answer her, so she nodded her head slightly in approval.

Andrew stood up and walked over to Candice. Taking her hand gently he helped her up. Andrew took both hands and intertwined his fingers with hers, making Candice blush.

However, that was not the end of Andrew's movement, who without explaining anything closed his eyes and moved even closer to Candice. The girl wanted to run away, as it looked like Andrew was going to kiss her and she was nervous, but Andrew's comforting words were heard, "Don't be afraid, I won't do anything to you."

She didn't know the reason, but she didn't doubt Andrew's words and stopped struggling. Then, Andrew's forehead met hers. They were so close they could feel each other's breaths.

Andrew felt the exquisite scent of Candice's body and she was nervous because she didn't know what would happen. She even went so far as to think that kissing wouldn't be so bad, but at that moment when the situation was heating up suddenly Candice's mind was flooded with a lot of information.

What was happening was that Fluffy was using Andrew's points, to show all the information to Candice, like when Oliver, Marie, and Castor received their guardian seals.

They remained in this intimate position for some minutes, but neither of them was thinking about it, as one was transmitting information directly to the mind of the other, so the impure thoughts did not manifest.

When Fluffy finished transmitting the information he immediately said, "Master, capitalize, you must kiss her, take advantage of the opportunity". Andrew upon hearing Fluffy, wanted to scold him, but when he opened his eyes and saw Candice's beautiful face, a strange impulse arose and before he knew it he had stolen the girl's lips.

Unexpectedly, Candice did not resist and although a bit clumsy due to her inexperience, she returned the kiss. They remained like that for a few seconds before they parted and opening their eyes they looked at each other for a while without saying a word.

Andrew immediately activated his Eros's eyes and could see the overflowing pink aura similar to that of his wives, which showed that Candice was in love with him.

This surprised him, as he had not expected such an abrupt change, but he restrained himself and asked, "Does Miss Candice have any other questions?" to which she replied looking away, "You dare ask me that after kissing me?".

An uncomfortable smile appeared on Andrew's face, as he didn't know how to respond, and again, Fluffy had to intervene, "Master, you need to improve your approach to the ladies. Drop the shyness!!!".

Fluffy's reprimand woke Andrew up and gathering all his courage he said, "Well, you already know everything about me, so you will have to become my wife." After those words, only Fluffy's annoyed sigh was heard in his mind, as he could not believe his master would say such stupidity.

Candice listened to Andrew and unexpectedly, she didn't deny it, but she didn't accept it either and that made Fluffy raise his eyebrows intrigued by Candice's way of acting, although he didn't have eyebrows.

Again there was silence, but they were still holding hands and neither seemed to want to move away. The strange atmosphere remained that way for a few seconds that seemed like hours until Candice opened her mouth and said, "Let me think about it."

Then Candice withdrew her hands and walked to the door, but before opening it and leaving the room she spoke again, "Thank you for trusting me with such an intimate secret," then she left the room without saying goodbye followed by Gaston who didn't know what was going on.

Oliver entered the room and seeing Andrew's relaxed expression, he understood that everything had gone well, and although he was dying to ask the details he managed to restrain himself.

Andrew didn't say anything either and started walking towards the restaurant's reception. There he cancelled the bill, either because she was shocked or because she had expected Andrew to pay from the beginning, Candice did not pay.

On the way home in the carriage, Andrew and Oliver said nothing, they remained silent until they arrived at the Heavenly Palace which was already crowded with customers.

On the other hand, Gaston kept asking Candice questions, but she didn't answer any of his questions, she just told him, "Don't worry, everything is fine. Nothing bad happened."

Despite those words, Gaston was not at ease, as Candice's thoughtful expression worried him, but he decided not to ask. When they arrived at their store, Candice, spoke again, "First hour tomorrow morning, get everyone together", then she left without explaining anything else.

Gaston knew that a big change was coming because Candice only gathered all her trusted men and women when they faced an extraordinary situation and that made him understand that today's meeting was the reason.

Both Candice and Andrew were from a strange dais, that's why nobody dared to talk to them, even Carolina, Helena, and Aki who were dying to know what happened, looked at Andrew and gave up the idea of asking.

Even after the Heavenly Palace closed its doors, the four went to sleep without commenting on the subject. The next morning, everyone woke up as usual and went about their business without discussing the subject.

After breakfast, Andrew gathered all his wives and guardians, while Candice also met in the office with her confidants. Even Erick and Vala who were training with Marquis Valoid had been sent for.

In both offices, without their knowledge, they met simultaneously to talk about the same subject. Both Candice's and Andrew's subordinates gathered around them waiting for them to speak and then both meetings began.
