Chapter 234 - Restriction

~ Angel's Agape Realm ~

"Mother Angel, let me go. I need to go back to Selene," Eros pleaded with Sienna. He was being detained right now and he was not allowed to leave the realm.

Sienna watched Eros with complicated emotions on her face.

"Eros, I can't lose you. I won't allow you to leave. You already know the consequence of your action.. Once you leave this realm, you can never go back."

Eros fell silent upon hearing that. He clenched his fists, feeling conflicted. He knew what he wanted to do but he was hesitating because of his mother angel.

The love and genuine concern in her eyes was stopping him from leaving.

"But I have a promise to fulfill," Eros mumbled, lowering his gaze.

"You can still fulfill it without going back to her. Eros, she will forget about you soon. Just leave this task to Levi," Sienna said with her pleading eyes.

"But mother angel…"

"No but, Eros. This is for your own good. Forget about her." Sienna was firm in her decision. This time she had become strict to Eros.

Without waiting for his reply, Sienna turned to leave. Eros felt helpless. He still wanted to go back even though he knew that he would end up getting hurt.

But not seeing Selene was like endless torture. He missed her so much. He wondered what she was doing right now.

"Is she thinking about me too? Or is she busy with Renz? Are they having fun right now?"

Eros had no way to find out. Mother Angel, Sienna blocked everything so that Eros could not see Selene. She even removed Eros's access to the portal. Without it, he couldn't go back to the human world.

Sienna was sacrificing something for him to be forgiven for his actions. She was doing her best to save Eros from this predicament. 

Because of this, Eros was hesitating to disobey her since he knew that she was putting in lots of effort just to protect him.

"What should I do now?" Eros mumbled to himself, still in dilemma.

Eros sat down on the grass, leaning his back on the tree trunk. He closed his eyes, thinking about Selene.

"She will forget me soon. Mother Angel Sienna or Levi will erase her memory…"

Eros's tears rolled down his cheeks from the corner of his eyes. He was so heartbroken just thinking about Selene not remembering him. His heart was clenching in pain and sorrow.

"I wanted to see her… even for one last time…"

Eros was lost in his thoughts when Levi came to approach him.

"Master Cupid!!!" Levi screamed as he called his name.

He had been looking for him. Finally, he had found him.

Eros opened his eyes and wiped the tears on his face. Levi was now standing before him.

Eros frowned and asked him, "Why are you here? You are supposed to be guarding Selene."

Levi scratched his face while smiling at Eros sheepishly.

"I know. But Selene and Azrael requested me to find out what happened to you. They are worried sick, wondering why you haven't returned yet."

Eros didn't know what to say. His heart skipped a beat upon mentioning Selene's name. He had a disheartened look on his face.

"How is she?" Eros mumbled, clenching his fists. He really wanted to see her.

"Sigh, I think she is missing you. But so far she's doing fine. Oh, by the way, something happened to her yesterday!"

Eros's eyes widened when he heard that.

"What happened to her? Tell me! Is she safe?" Eros grabbed Levi's clothes and started shaking him.

"Master Cupid, let go. I will tell you everything. Just calm down."

Eros released Levi right away. He just overreacted since he was worried about Selene.

"She was almost hit by a car. Azrael thought Zaki had something to do with it. There was a grim reaper following Selene. They are really targeting her as if trying to kill her by creating accidents."

Eros's face darkened and he gritted his teeth. Zaki was so determined to get Selene's soul. He didn't like it.

"Fortunately, Azrael reacted fast. He jumped to save Selene. She only got some abrasions."

"Oh and last night, Selene had a nightmare. She was so afraid. She said she saw you. Azrael thought it was also the work of Zaki, trying to get her soul by killing her using a nightmare."

"Azrael tried to wake her up. We were worried. We thought Selene would not wake up since it took her a lot of time before opening her eyes."

Levi continued telling Eros about Selene. Unknown to him, this information urged Eros to return to Selene's side. He would never be at ease knowing that someone was trying to hurt Selene.

'I can no longer stay here. I have to go back and protect Selene. I don't care about the consequences anymore. I just want to make sure that Selene will be safe,' Eros thought to himself as he made up his mind.

Fortunately, Levi came here to see him.

"Master Cupid, since I already saw you and confirmed that you are just fine, I have to go back now and relay this to Selene and Azrael. I promise them that I will give them updates about you."

Levi was about to leave when Eros stood up and grabbed his elbow thus stopping him. Levi turned around to look at him with his questioning gaze.

"Master Cupid, is there something you need?"

Eros extended his hand in front of Levi. Levi looked down feeling confused.

"Levi, can I see your portal pass? I just want to check something."

Levi didn't suspect Eros of doing anything so he picked up his portal pass and gave it to Eros. When Eros got a hold of the portal pass, he immediately used his power to knock Levi out.

"I'm sorry, Levi. I have to do this."

Levi fell unconscious right away. Eros caught his body and made him lean on the tree trunk. Without wasting any more time, Eros went to the portal going to the human world.
