Chapter 82 - Eros Asking Azrael For A Favor

Selene, Renz, and Grandma Elysa were still talking inside her private ward when Eros decided to come back in his child-like angel form. He would check their situation right now.

While he was on his way to Grandma Elysa's ward, he could see lots of grim reapers around the area. He saw them guiding the souls of the dead. Most of them died because of illness and accident.

He could see the souls of young children, elders, young adults, both men, and women. Each of them was paired up with a grim reaper.

Among the crowd, he saw a familiar figure of his grim reaper friend, Azrael. 

His eyes brightened up and said, "Oh right timing! He is here. There's something I wanna ask from him."

Eros didn't waste more time as he flew in his direction and called Azrael's attention.

"AZRAEL!"

Hearing that familiar voice, Azrael stopped on his track and turned around only to see Eros coming towards him.

"Eh, Eros? What are you doing here?" Azrael asked him curiously.

"I accompanied Selene. Her grandma was rushed to this hospital moments ago," Eros answered him.

"Are you here to collect souls?" he added, looking at Azrael's left and right sides. 

He didn't see any human soul standing next to Azrael so it only meant that he was not yet done doing his task today.

"I stopped collecting souls right now. Zaki gave me a special task, remember? He selected a few grim reapers and appointed us to become the search team," Azrael informed him.

"We are looking for the missing soul and the soul who escaped from the Netherworld. The one who killed someone and turned into an evil spirit." he reminded Eros.

Eros just simply nodded his head. He was not interested to hear about his special mission. He was here to ask him something.

"Azrael…"

Azrael raised his eyebrow when he saw the seriousness in Eros's face as he called his name.

"Is there something wrong? Why are you looking like that? Are you in trouble?" Azrael asked him curiously.

"Can I ask you something?" Eros said, ignoring Azrael's words.

"Go ahead, ask me." Azrael watched him intently.

"Do you know who is the grim reaper assigned to collect the soul of Selene's grandmother? Can you tell me the exact date of her death?"

Azrael: "..."

He furrowed his brows upon hearing that from Eros. He couldn't believe that Eros was asking him that question.

Azrael pinched Eros's cheeks. 

"Awww! Stop that!" Eros complained to him, hitting Azrael's hands.

"Eros, are you planning to be a grim reaper now? Have you forgotten our rules? A cupid and a grim reaper are not allowed to interfere with each other's tasks. With that, grim reapers should not disclose any information regarding our job to anyone, especially to a cupid."

"Sorry, my friend. You can ask me anything. Just don't ask about the grim reaper's job."

Eros frowned. "What's wrong with that? You even told me that you have a special mission. That is the same as telling me your grim reaper's job!"

Azrael looked at Eros helplessly. He had a point but still, disclosing the time of death of a human and the grim reaper assigned to collect his or her soul was a more sacred job of the grim reaper than the mission he had mentioned to him.

"Why do you want to know? Can't you just let it be? Besides, you will still know it when you see the grim reaper visiting Selene's grandma and staying by her side during her last day here on earth."

Eros sighed deeply. He didn't know what had gotten into him. He was becoming more involved when it came to Selene.

He was aware that grim reapers were not allowed to disclose those pieces of information. But he still wanted to know so that he would know how long Grandma Elysa would still be here with Selene.

"Please… I wanna know. Besides, even if you tell me, we can't do anything about it. I just want to know the remaining days left for Selene to be with her grandmother," Eros begged at him for the first time.

Azrael was rendered speechless seeing the pleading look in Eros's blue eyes. He didn't expect Eros to act like this. He was being humble to him for the first time.

"This will be a secret between us. I will not tell other grim reapers about this. I promise," Eros tried his best to convince Azrael.

Azrael sighed deeply. Seeing Eros feeling so desperate, he didn't have the heart to refuse him. He had gotten closer to him ever since they made that deal when Selene died.

Since he would do this for Eros, he also wanted to grab this opportunity to gain something from him.

"Hmm, okay, I will check it but in one condition…" Azrael rubbed his palms together while smiling mischievously at Eros.

"What condition?" asked Eros, looking at Azrael suspiciously. He had a bad feeling about this after seeing Azrael's playful smirk.

"Hmm, let me see your Mother Angel, Sienna personally! I want to see her!" Azrael declared in his elated voice.

Just thinking about meeting Sienna gave him goosebumps and a feeling of excitement. He had never seen her up closed.

Meanwhile, Eros didn't know whether to cry or laugh after hearing Azrael's silly request. It seemed that Sienna was Azrael's ultimate crush in the angel's realm. 

He was fascinated to see that a grim reaper like Azrael was acting like a human, admiring another angel in the Angel's Agape Realm.

"Alright! I will find a way for you to meet our Mother Angel!" Eros agreed with Azrael's request.

Azrael jumped with joy upon hearing that. He even punched the air for too much happiness.

"Okay! I need to go and check the book of death. I will inform you once I return here."

Azrael disappeared in a blink of an eye. He was so excited that he left immediately to check the book of death. Eros just shook his head because of Azrael's childish reaction moments ago.

Eros proceeded to his prior plan of checking Selene. When he arrived inside Grandma Elysa's private ward, he heard her request to Selene and Renz.

"Renz, Selene… is it okay if I will ask you to get married next month? This is my last wish. I want to see my granddaughter walking down the aisle with her white dress."
