Chapter 196 - Can Go Easy On You, But Not On Them

The three men were dumbfounded after hearing Sienna's revelation. They had no idea that this was the reason Sienna sent Eros to make a deal with Azrael just to save Selene.

'Someone made a wish for Selene to stay alive. Who is it? Is it Grandma Elysa?' Eros thought to himself.

"So I just did my job as well, Zaki. I hope you understand. Cupids should grant a wish of a person who possesses a genuine and unconditional love." Sienna explained to Zaki.

"Who is that person?" Zaki asked Sienna.

Sienna met Zaki's gaze and said meaningfully, "You already know the answer to that question."

Zaki frowned while clenching his fists. Indeed, he already knew it. Only Eros and Azrael were clueless.

"No matter what you say, it doesn't change the fact that Azrael broke my rules. He deserves to be punished along with the soul he revived!" Zaki was firm in his decision.

"Now, hand over Azrael to me! You can leave after that!"

Eros could no longer stay quiet. He stepped forward to face Zaki.

"What do you mean by that? Selene is a victim here. She is innocent! Why are you targeting her? What punishment are you talking about?" Eros spoke to Zaki.

He hated the fact that Zaki was thinking of killing Selene once again.

"She already died! She belongs to the Netherworld. I will just bring her back to where she is supposed to be."

"No! I will protect her from you!" Eros was enraged.

"Eros, calm down," Sienna softly said, holding Eros's shoulder.

'Calm down? How can I calm down if Selene's life might be in danger?' Eros thought to himself but he didn't dare voice it out. He didn't want to disrespect his mother angel.

"Sienna, last warning. Hand over Azrael!"

"No!"

Zaki's eyes were blazing in rage. Using his speed, he moved to Azrael's side. However, even before he could touch Azrael, a soft hand already grabbed his.

Sienna knew what Zaki was thinking. Once he got a hold of Azrael, he would teleport together with him. So Sienna didn't let him touch Azrael.

"Eros, go and leave! Bring Azrael with you. I will hold Zaki back!" Sienna commanded Eros.

Without wasting any more time, Eros grabbed Azrael's shoulder and fled. They left that place as soon as possible. Eros could only think of one place where he should bring Azrael… Anderson Family Mansion!

He also needed to see Selene as soon as possible. He wanted to make sure that she was safe.

Eros used teleportation to arrive fast at the mansion. He and Azrael appeared inside his room. He put Azrael down on his bed.

"Stay here for a while. I will just check, Selene."

Azrael just nodded his head.

Eros rushed out of his room to find Selene. He found her inside her room, reading some documents.

Renz had just left so Selene decided to go back inside her room. She was surprised when Eros suddenly barged into her room without knocking.

"Eros, you are here. Where have you been? What's wrong?"

Eros didn't answer her. He just moved closer to her with large strides. Upon reaching her spot, Eros bent down and hugged Selene.

Selene was caught off guard. Eros was acting strangely. She could feel the fast beating of his heart.

"Eros? Are you okay?" Selene asked him, puzzled.

"Selene… I will protect you. I will not let anyone hurt you," Eros mumbled with so much conviction in his words.

"Oh, thank you," Selene simply said, still wondering what's going on with Eros.

"Where have you been?" Selene asked Eros.

Eros finally broke the hug.

"Something happened to Azrael. He is injured so I brought him here. He is currently in my room. Is that okay with you? Bringing Azrael here?" Eros asked Selene's permission.

"Yes, of course. He can stay here. We have lots of vacant rooms here. Let's go! I want to see him. Are his injuries severe?"

"Yes," Eros responded.

Without a second of delay, Selene pulled Eros going to his room where Azrael was lying. They went to check on his condition.

Meanwhile, Sienna and Zaki were still fighting each other. After so many attempts, finally Zaki was able to restrain Sienna.

He didn't want to hurt her so Zaki just tried to dodge and block Sienna's attack. He could not bring himself to hurt this beautiful angel.

Zaki was now holding Sienna from behind, restraining all her hands with his. He ended up hugging her just to stop her from attacking. He used a magic rope to tie her arms.

"Sienna, stop struggling or else, you will hurt your arms!" Zaki scolded her.

"Why are you so stubborn?" Zaki sounded so helpless.

Sienna just let out a soft giggle. "If you don't want me to get hurt then untie this rope," Sienna demanded.

"Untie this rope and let's talk," Sienna softly said, putting on a pleading look.

Zaki could only comply with her request. He untied the rope but he was still holding her in his arms.

"Zak! Eh...You know, you can stop holding me now…" Sienna said, feeling a little bit awkward because of their positions.

Zaki sighed again before releasing her from his grasp.

"Forgive me for doing that to you. You left me with no choice," Zaki apologized to Sienna. 

The cold, ruthless, and frightening Zaki a while ago was long gone. Now, he looked like a gentleman in front of Sienna.

Sienna patted Zaki's shoulder while letting out a soft giggle.

"No need to apologize. I know you were holding your strength a while ago so that I couldn't get hurt."

"But I am upset with you! How can you be so heartless in punishing Azrael?" Sienna started to nag at him.

"It's my fault, not him. You even tried to hurt my beloved cupid, Eros" she added, pouting her lips.

Zaki could only scratch the back of his head. "I told him to leave but he didn't listen. Both of you are stubborn. I can go easy on you but not on them."

Sienna could only sigh helplessly. "You still haven't changed."
