RISE OF EROS

Since there was no way to contact Andrew from the Dunnas Palace, Lula was unable to tell him about Victoria's proposal. Although Andrew can sense everything that happens inside the Heavenly Palaces, he does not notice Victoria's visit, as he is in a meeting with Oliver and the others, talking about the nobles who attacked them.

Furthermore, in none of the Heavenly Palaces, there is a way to communicate with Andrew. This was a disadvantage since everything depended on Andrew feeling something strange or visiting them whenever he wanted so that his employees could communicate something to him.

Although they could send a messenger falcon, the reality is that from the capital of the Dunnas kingdom to the capital of the Cannaris empire, the falcon would still take 2 or 3 days to arrive, so it was better to wait for Andrew to visit them.

Lula had noticed that Andrew visited them regularly, he never took more than 3 days to visit them, so it was better to wait for him than to send him a falcon, however, this time was different.

Due to the attacks, they were suffering from the viscounts associated with Vocgo, Andrew was very busy dealing with the consequences so he did not have time to visit Dunnas Palace.

Lula was surprised by this and since Victoria visited her almost daily to see if Andrew was in the establishment, she felt pressured. Being in this situation she had no choice but to send a messenger falcon.

Lula told Victoria that she should wait a few days and that she should not visit the establishment, just to ask about Andrew. The reality was that Lula was upset with Victoria coming every day to ask about her boss.

For this reason, she told Victoria that Andrew was dealing with some problems and that was why he couldn't take care of her. Although Victoria was upset upon hearing this, she did not throw a tantrum, for fear that Andrew would punish her by taking away the massage.

Lula also thought that Victoria would cause a scandal since her reputation is known, but she was surprised to see that Victoria nodded meekly and left saying that she would wait patiently.

In fact, it wasn't just Lula who was surprised. All the Dunnas Palace employees were stunned, some even dared to ask if this Victoria was an imposter.

With this taken care of, Lula immediately took a piece of paper and wrote the message about Victoria's idea and she tied it to a small tube on a falcon's leg and sent it towards where Andrew was.

Although it was likely that Andrew would appear out of nowhere before the hawk reached him, Lula had to send the message, because she couldn't continue waiting without giving Victoria a reason.

Lula was not so delusional as to believe that Victoria's good attitude was a change of heart. She was sure that Victoria was looking for something and that's why she was behaving like a noble and calm woman, but the moment she crossed the limit, things would get ugly and she would be the most harmed.

While Lula was thinking this, Andrew and the others in the Cannaris Palace were fuming with anger. The three viscounts who were attacking them had intensified their attacks and Andrew was almost giving the order to kill them.

It turns out, that one of them, orchestrated the accident of crashing a cart loaded with dirt and feces into Candice's grocery store, which not only resulted in damage to the property but also damage to the products.

Not to mention that due to the attack that the caravans had suffered, the food inventory is scarce. Candice, who a few days ago was trying to swallow the space left by Vocgo and Oslo, was now about to have to close the business due to shortages.

Andrew immediately wanted to meet with Patricia and her friends to see if they could help him or he would definitely kill these nobles who were attacking him, but it is not easy for 5 noble ladies like them to meet with Andrew, the owner of a pleasure house.

Although it is known that the nobles have their private businesses in the red light district, before the public the nobles of this country act like people who despise these businesses, and although everyone knows it, by no one admitting it the nobles can keep their face.

For this reason, when Andrew contacted Patricia, although she agreed to see him, it could not be immediately. She had to contact her friends and plan a suitable day, time, and place to see him, which was annoying for Andrew, but he didn't get angry at them, at least not in front of them.

For this type of behavior, Andrew prefers to be a person with a direct attitude, because he does not have to be pretending something so that the public does not condemn you.

In Andrew's thinking, it is better to be yourself and if someone criticizes you, just ignore it, but in this world, it is the opposite, you should try to hide who you are and maintain a good image to gain benefits.

Although he despises this system, Andrew couldn't do anything, so he held out until Patricia contacted him. Ironically, it took Patricia a full day to inform him that they could see each other three days later, which made Andrew depressed.

At that time the viscounts were increasingly ruthless with their tricks and the irony of the matter was that Candice, who was the most affected, was calm, but Andrew was wanting to kill and eat the dead.

One of those days, two alleged clients came to the clothing store managed by Canna and pretended to fight, damaging several dresses. Another day a group of women came to Candice's beauty store to complain that they had been sold fake products.

Added to the cart that crashed into Candice's grocery store, it was one of the tricks used by the nobles who attacked them. Unexpectedly, when Andrew was about to give up the idea of waiting for the meeting with Patricia and the others and go to kill these nobles, a hawk comes in through the window.

The bird surprised everyone, because they knew where it came from, what they didn't understand was why they had sent it. Andrew was the most surprised because he had not felt any complications in Dunnas Palace, such that his absence would warrant the sending of the falcon.

Obviously, Andrew was thinking about complex situations such as a fight, a disturbance, an accident, an attack, or a betrayal, he never imagined the news that Victoria wanted to rent Dunnas Palace and throw a private party.

When Andrew took the message out of the tube in the falcon's leg and began to read it, he couldn't believe his eyes. His wives, Oliver and the others were curious to know what the message said, but they did not interrupt Andrew.

A few seconds later, Andrew finished reading, and seeing everyone's curiosity, he smiled saying, "This is good news. Apparently, Victoria wants to rent the Dunnas Palace and have a party with her friends. She intends to pay double the establishment's income in one day."

"That's good news," Candice said immediately, but Helena immediately snorted, "It's certainly good news, but I'm sure that woman just wants Andrew to touch her again."

Immediately all of Andrew's other wives realized that what Helena said was true. Candice had spoken before without thinking, as it was the first good news for them in days, but now that Helena had reminded her of this, she understood.

Andrew had told them about the service he offered to Victoria and since they had received Andrew's messages many times, they knew perfectly well how deadly they were, so they knew that Victoria couldn't resist and was looking for ways to please Andrew so that he would massage her again.

Andrew wasn't stupid either, he came to the same conclusion as his wives, but he still said, "No matter what her intentions are, it's a good deal and we should take advantage of it."

Although not so cheerful now that they knew Victoria's intentions, Candice and the others accepted Andrew's words, but his next words left them thoughtful, "You know? We can also abandon the empire."

Those present in the office were not stupid. They knew that if they abandoned the empire it would mean losing all of Candice's efforts to establish herself, and the businesses in the red-light district, that's why everyone was surprised because they couldn't think that Andrew would propose something like that.

Andrew understood what everyone was thinking, but he didn't tell them anything. He looked at Candice seriously and asked, "Would it be too hard for you?" Right now, the only thing stopping Andrew from leaving this place is Candice's feelings, so if she doesn't object, he won't hold back.

Candice looked at Andrew's seriousness and with the same attitude responded, "If we could stay I would like to, but if we are going to continue suffering as we have been up to now, it is better to start in a new place."

Listening to Andrew and Candice's conversation, no one interrupted them, as it was a matter that only concerned them. Listening to Candice's response, Andrew said decisively, "Then we will talk to Patricia and the others, if they can help us we will defend ourselves, if they can't, we will leave."
