RISE OF EROS

Andrew visited everyone he was supposed to visit during these events to inform them of his move, including Yuri. Since he would now live in Dunnas, they would meet more often, so Andrew was not as wild as when he was with Nadila.

They only had two sessions of quick sex in her office, but it was more than enough to cause a disaster in the place. Yuri's pussy juices were everywhere and when Andrew left, she was still covered in cum on the couch.

With everything ready, Andrew quickly began his plan to spread the rumor that he was leaving the capital of Cannaris. Many of those who were spying on Andrew and his associates quickly heard the news and were surprised by the sudden decision.

Some even theorized that the conversations with the emperor that occurred a few days ago were the reason for his departure, but Andrew did not come out to clarify the matter, he only asked his agents to spread the rumor that he was leaving because he did not have guarantees in this place.

He even abandoned the plan to create a Heavenly Palace in the city of Calci. In fact, he returned the property reward that the emperor had given him and did so in the most disrespectful way possible.

He sent some messenger to return the scriptures. The emperor and the ministers were surprised by this move, as it was a clear sign of Andrew's attitude towards them.

Although Arturios had said that he did not feel any malice on his part towards them, after this move, they could not be so sure, since it was a clear slap in the face to return the reward only by sending a messenger and without any explanation.

Some of them even proposed to teach Andrew a lesson, but Arturios made them give up. Arturios was not as hot-tempered as them and he knew that antagonizing Andrew would cause more losses than benefits.

They had barely signed an agreement with the Amazons and the elder Hacta had already made it clear to them that she would prefer Andrew over them, so if they attacked Andrew, it would only cause the new relationship with them to be lost.

Furthermore, many people knew about Andrew's contributions to the empire, if they attacked, it would show that the empire did not value friends, so it would affect not only the relationship with Andrew but also with other people.

When he explained these facts, the ministers calmed down, because they were not stupid. They understood Arturios' points, they were only momentarily angry, but now that they had calmed down, they saw the bigger picture.

Still, the emperor couldn't help but say, "So, you say it's better to let it go," to which Arturios said, "Augustus, pride in trifles is just stupidity."

Arturios paused briefly and added, "No one outside this room knows that this reward was given, so no one will know that it was returned." The emperor looked at his teacher's serious expression, sighed, and said, "Well, as long as he doesn't say anything."

"The message from him was clear. He won't say anything," Arturios replied. When Andrew sent the messenger to return the scriptures there was also a small letter attached that said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but I will not receive this reward. Let's pretend it never happened."

It was clear that Andrew was telling them that he did not want their attention and that he would not insult them with what had happened. The emperor didn't know why his teacher seemed to have so much faith in Andrew's word, but he still decided to trust his teacher.

With all this finished, Andrew, his wives, and his trusted staff said goodbye to the employees and left for Dunnas Palace. Victor had been left in charge of the Palace of Cannaris.

Although his functions did not change, now Andrew and his wives would not be watching all the time, so Victor became the highest authority in the place. It wasn't as if he was going to abuse his newly acquired status, but he did have more freedom to lead.

When they arrived at Dunnas Palace, everyone began to adapt to the new environment and the most excited were their children. These children had been locked up their entire lives inside the Cannaris Palace, so seeing a different place excited them.

Carmen and Andrew's wives had to take extra care of them, because although in Dunnas there were not as many dangers as in Cannaris, going out into the streets carelessly was still dangerous.

On the other hand, Dayana was confused. She had been experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions the last few days. First, there was the conflict with Andrew over the attack on Victor, then the infiltration of her establishment.

Soon after Andrew's strange reunions with the emperor and now his withdrawal from the empire. She no longer knew what was happening and it bothered and confused her not to understand what was happening.

Despite all the unknowns, one thing was clear, without Andrew and his trusted men, there was no reason to fight because she couldn't get what she wanted if those who knew what she wanted were not there.

Obviously, this did not mean that she would let her guard down since everything could be a scheme to deceive her, but as time went by she realized that Andrew had just left.

Just as Andrew had predicted, his departure ended the conflict and although his Heavenly Palace was still under surveillance by many people, they quickly realized that they would gain nothing.

The Heavenly Palace without Andrew was no different from another pleasure house and that was why many of the guards stopped their surveillance of it. While Andrew, in the company of his wives and children, toured the capital city of Dunnas.

The children were happy to see the outside. Everything they saw was a new experience and seeing this Andrew could only smile bitterly because until now he had realized how miserable the lives of his children were being locked up all the time.

Although he did it to protect them and the children were energetic even if they couldn't go out, no child should be deprived of seeing the world. Fortunately, in Dunnas they could go out in peace and explore.

Obviously, they were not going to go unprotected. Shadow's agents, Oliver, Castor, and even Sansa were traveling with them as a safety measure. While such a large group surprised some, but this was not the first time they had seen Andrew and his wives, so the surprise did not last long.

What they didn't know was that some women who acted as merchants or common passersby were watching them. The group's experts noticed them as did the Shadow agents who were hidden, but they didn't say anything.

These women were just observing them, there was no malice, so there was no need to cause a scene. When the walk with the children ended and they were back at Dunnas Palace, Oliver asked, "Young master, did you notice that we were being watched?"

"I did notice, but they didn't seem to have any malice, it was more like they were trying to gather information," Andrew responded and then added, "Could it be that I'm cursed and trouble follows me wherever I go?"

Everyone present laughed out loud at Andrew's comment. Even Oliver who is the most stoic, couldn't help but laugh, but after calming down he said, "Young master, don't say stupid things."

"Shadow agents followed them and found that they went to the royal castle of Dunnas," Oliver added. Now everyone was silent and the smiles were changed to a serious expression.

"Is the royal family after us?" Carolina asked, wrinkling her eyebrows, but Andrew immediately replied, "Well, Victoria's client is royalty, so it's not abnormal that they want to know about us if they want to start conversations."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I agree. I think they want to get to know us before engaging in conversations and see if we are worthy or not," Oliver added. "Should we contact Victoria and ask her opinion?" Candice asked, but Andrew shook his head.

"There's no need. Besides, she might not know anything about them, it's better to wait and see" Andrew answered and everyone agreed. After that, they discussed some not-so-important things and everyone left to do their activities.

Candice, Gastón, and Canna gathered on the office couches to discuss opening a clothing store, beauty products, and a grocery store, but at that moment Andrew intervened.

"I have a proposal," he said, drawing everyone's attention and noticing this, Andrew explained his proposal, "Why not create a shopping center?" Everyone looked at him with a questioning expression, because they did not understand the term.

Seeing them, Andrew hit his forehead as he remembered that such a concept does not exist in this world, so he began to explain what a shopping center was. Everyone was surprised by Andrew's explanation and Candice, along with Gastón immediately saw how great this idea was.

However, Gaston being the most experienced, immediately found a problem, "It's a great idea, but to implement it, we need the help of the royal family."

"Maybe we do need Victoria after all," Andrew said, stroking his chin and without waiting for anyone to say anything, he spoke again, "Well, she's coming over in a few days to get her massage, so let's take it easy for the moment".

With unanimous agreement, the meeting ended and everyone returned to carry out their activities, which were not many since they had just arrived and still did not have much to do.
