RISE OF EROS

The news about the release of the seal on the fallen god's right arm in the country of Gloria did not reach Dunnas until three days after the event occurred. Not because the informants were slow, but because the country was in the middle of an internal battle and they did not pay attention to what was happening outside.

To be more exact, apart from the defense on the border against Galicia and the cleaning up of the Vilotti family and their affiliates, Dunnas had its hands full and could not worry about other aspects.

However, once everything was settled, then they could look at the great event that had occurred. Daphne and Diana were worried about this strange organization that seemed to want to revive the fallen god, but at the same time, they were too busy to concentrate on that for long.

Although knowing that there were people who wanted to destroy everything kept them up at night, for now, they had to solve the immediate problems and those were the restructuring of the country. With the destruction of the Vilotti family and over 30 other noble families that were affiliated with them, Diana had to reorganize the country.

Fortunately, the founding families had recovered and were able to take on some of the burden.

The nobles not only have status and prestige with that title, but they also have obligations whether it be helping with the defense and development of the country or performing management activities on behalf of the royal family, such as collecting taxes and securing the territories.

So by losing a family as large as the Vilotti that performed many of these functions, they left some important gaps that needed to be filled. The 30+ families that supported the Vilotti also left a void, as while they were not prominent families, there were many of them.

Fortunately, the founding families could keep things running, while things were organized better. The Caltu family also took a leap in nobility and were now a family of marquises.

Diana did not hesitate to give them the title that the Vilotti left vacant and it was not out of simple friendship, but because they had earned it. The current regents of this family may not have been aware of it, but there is no doubt that they were important in this plan.

The Caltu family sacrificed their progress as a noble family, to generate money and thus help the founding families with resources that allowed them to train and strengthen experts.

Although most of the nobles were informed of this move, they were unaware of what had happened in detail. Many opposed this decision, so Daphne had to come out of retirement and make a statement about what happened.

Obviously, it would not be towards the citizens, but towards the protesting nobles. She was upset that these nobles tried to take advantage of the situation by opposing the Caltu family receiving the recognition it deserved.

When Daphne explained everything, the nobles had no way to oppose, but there was still no shortage of those who wanted to do so, then, Daphne showed that even though she had given up the crown, she was still the most powerful in the kingdom.

Although the plan had been set up with the goal of investigating and overthrowing the Vilotti family and their allies, since they didn't know how far back their roots went, they had to investigate everyone.

Consequently, they not only found what they were looking for but also some secrets from the nobles who weren't involved. While they weren't serious enough for the royal family to pursue them, they were more than enough to threaten them into stopping being annoying.

With their secrets out in the open, no one else objected. Diana and Daphne were also thinking of giving Andrew a noble title, but he refused, saying that if he received it he would be tied to the kingdom and that was something he would never do.

Andrew could have good relations with them and help them as much as he could, but he would never affiliate himself with any kingdom. While the title of noble would give him many opportunities, it also deprived him of many freedoms and that was something he would not give up.

Despite Diana and Daphne's many promises, he still refused and they had no choice but to reward him in another way. There was no doubt that without him this would not have worked.

In fact, the demigod of the Vilotti family might have escaped, so they could not leave him without reward, no matter how much Andrew refused. Thus, he was offered 10% over the shopping mall for the common citizen they were making.

Originally, he would only receive the privilege of having the largest premises to establish a supermarket, but now he owned shares in that company and they were not few.

Compared to the percentage they have in the shopping mall focused on the rich and nobles this 10% may have paled in comparison, but it was still a substantial profit that he did not refuse.

While all these reorganization meetings were going on, Andrew and his wives were spending their days quietly away from these problems. They were not part of the country's politics, so by ending the Vilotti family, their involvement in this ended.

Although they were relaxed, Andrew was a little stressed. Since the appearance of the abysmals, Fluffy had told him that he would most likely have to deal with the problems left by the fallen god 1,000 years ago, but even Fluffy did not expect that the body of that being would still be in this world.

It must be understood that a fallen god is a matter of the highest priority for the divine land, so whenever one appears, the gods immediately intervene. Certainly, there are always after-effects, but Fluffy never expected them to be this great.

According to Fluffy's thoughts, the fallen god had been eliminated and there would probably be some places like the lake with the blood of the fallen god on the lost continent that would generate certain situations.

Fluffy was convinced that this would be the only thing Andrew would have to deal with, but he was wrong. When news reached Andrew that the body of this fallen god was still in this world, Fluffy immediately warned him.

While he assured him that if the situation reached the extremes where the fallen god was about to resurrect, the other gods would intervene, he also told him that until that moment Andrew was in danger.

Although corrupted, the energy in a fallen god was still divinity and divinity attracts each other, especially the one that Andrew and this fallen god had. Both came from the creator god, so it was very likely that Andrew would be involved in what would happen.

For this reason, Andrew was stressed, because his domain is not combat or magic or any other element that would help him in an eventual battle. This is not to mention that he was not even a god yet.

Fluffy had been very emphatic. Andrew had to get stronger quickly or he could encounter a calamity. Because of this, Andrew decided to advance his plans to travel to the free Republic of Comers.

His idea was to wait until the mall in Dunnas was finished and travel, but now with this threat on the horizon and all the problems Dunnas had to solve after this battle, that mall would be delayed and he couldn't wait.

The mall is an important project, but it is not more important than the reorganization of the country, so it would be put aside for the moment and Andrew could not sit idly by with the threat looming over his shoulders.

He quickly held a meeting with his guardians and wives where he informed them of everything Fluffy had told him and also expressed his intention to speed up the plans.

They agreed with his decision. In fact, they were more nervous than he was, because as Andrew's wives and guardians, they tended to put his well-being before everything else, and knowing that they would face such a troublesome enemy was better to strengthen themselves.

With that defined, Andrew went to the royal castle of Dunnas and met with Daphne and Diana to tell them about his plan to travel. Obviously, he didn't tell them about the matter of the fallen god and him, but he still had to notify them about his departure and his motives.

Although they didn't want him to leave, Andrew was firm in his decision and in the end, they could only support him. Andrew could tell that, although they were friendly to him and had no bad intentions, he could notice a certain aura of selfishness with his Eros' eyes.

They had witnessed Andrew's power and wanted him to stay with them, for the benefit of the kingdom. Their intentions weren't bad, but it didn't change the fact that they wanted to take advantage of him a little.

This didn't bother Andrew, since it's normal for them to think about their benefit and that of the country, and, as stated, they weren't ill-intentioned, but Andrew had to prioritize his well-being and the well-being of his family.

Although everything was defined, Andrew couldn't start his journey immediately. He had used his trump card to hand over his body to Fluffy during the battle, so he was deprived of his divinity and system for at least another week.

Since Fluffy only spent 1 second eliminating the threat of Elder Bastas, the price he had to pay was not high, even so, Andrew would not go on such a long and unpredictable trip without his trump card.

He dedicated this time to spending time with his wives and children, as well as defining and planning the trip. He quickly decided that he would travel in the company of Oliver, Aki, and Zany since the three of them were fighters and although Aki is still weak, her ability could be useful in some eventuality.

While the other wives and guardians were reluctant to stay, they understood the bigger picture, so they could only accept the arrangement. Since most of Andrew's wives and children would be staying here and they no longer had the power to control the Heavenly Palace, it was imperative that Sansa and Castor stay to protect them.

The royal family of Dunnas might hold them in high regard, but there was never a shortage of unscrupulous individuals who would take advantage of the circumstances, so Andrew would leave nothing to chance.
