RISE OF EROS

Chapter 248: CHAPTER 247

Andrew and his wives remained in the office as usual. When night comes and the Heavenly Palace opens its doors to business, they usually stay in the office to avoid trouble.

Being the Heavenly Palace a house of pleasure, the visitors are generally hot-blooded men who want to fuck pretty girls, so Andrew's wives avoid exposing themselves to public view, as they are the most beautiful women in the establishment and do not want to cause trouble if any client gets attractive to them.

Although the clients of the Heavenly Palace are mainly small businessmen from the city, killing one of them could lead to trouble and if you wonder why they would be so extreme as to kill, the answer is obvious, Andrew would not allow someone who covets his wives to live.

Now that they were alone, Andrew's wives began to ask him the questions they couldn't ask in the presence of everything, starting with Candice, "Honney, can you tell us everything now?"

"What do you mean by that?" asked Andrew playing a joke on her, but Candice got annoyed and replied, "Cut the jokes, this is serious. If you leave, wouldn't there be problems with this place?".

Hearing Candice's question, the other wives became serious. Among them, Carolina was the most business savvy, but she still lacked experience, so she hadn't realized the implications of Andrew's plans fully until Candice said so, so Helena and Aki were even more at a loss.

"You know that, by leaving, the Heavenly Palace will be unprotected, right? If we all leave with you, there will be a lot of trouble too. What is your real plan?", Candice continued to ask.

Carolina and the others remained silent. They knew Candice would take it upon herself to ask the questions they wanted to know. "Well, I understand what you're saying, but you don't have to worry," Andrew replied calmly.

Andrew paused slightly and continued, "Certainly, we will take risks, but it is necessary. Besides, there are some skills of mine that you are unaware of, well, I was unaware of them until now so don't blame me."

Andrew had to add that he was unaware of the temple's capabilities because his wives were already looking at him angrily when he said he had abilities they were unaware of.

It was amazing that his wives didn't get angry, because he went around adding women to his harem, but when he hid any other information from them, that bothered them a lot, that's why Andrew was always honest with them.

Seeing that the girls relaxed, Andrew began to explain to them all the new abilities that the Heavenly Palace had as a temple. The girls were surprised, as they were unusual abilities, especially the ability to teleport.

You have to know that this is a spatial ability and they are very rare in this world, so their surprise was not abnormal. After they heard all of Andrew's explanation, the girls fell into deep thought.

After a few minutes, Candice spoke again, "I don't think I should travel with you." Candice's comment, puzzled everyone, as they could not understand the reason for her decision and she noting this explained.

"My business is food, so the war will make me a lot of money, something we need, so it is better for me to stay. Besides, Marquis Valoide is now watching me, if he finds out that you left the country and I followed you, they might get the wrong idea, while if I stay, I might be able to fix some things."

The girls were a little confused with the last part, but Andrew was sharper and understood what she meant. If at the outbreak of war, Candice left, it would generate a lot of questions, they might even consider her a traitor or spy.

However, if she stayed, she could try to mend relations with the marquis, saying, for example, that Andrew was looking for supplies to help the empire or something similar, in fact, they could really do it and it would not be an excuse, but would really earn his gratitude, so Candice's proposal was very good.

Candice saw that Andrew seemed to understand her thoughts, so she smiled, but seeing her sisters with a frown on their faces, she started to explain to them, as it was obvious that they did not understand her decision.

After the girls understood everything, they fell back into deep thought, and then, Carolina and Helena also said, "Then we should stay too."

This surprised Andrew and Candice, but before they could ask, Carolina began to explain, "Although for the Heavenly Palace, you can leave Victor in charge of administration, it is better that I stay, as not only can I provide support in administration, but I am the only one who can produce the rejuvenating and tissue-repairing creams in your absence."

She paused and continued, "While when you have another temple you can teleport right away, while you travel and get the temple established, someone has to keep providing those products."

Andrew hadn't thought of that, but Carolina was right and before he could say anything, Helena said, "And Sonia is still green, so it's best that I be present to supervise the courtesans. Besides, I think we who don't have combat skills will be a burden on your journey, it's better that only Aki who can fight accompanies you."

Although she was a bit harsh with her words, everyone knew her words were not meant to hurt, it was the truth. At that moment Candice spoke again, "I think Carolina and Helena are right. Besides, this way, you could travel with a small group and avoid detection, not to mention it will be safer."

Aki said nothing, as she had very little planning skills, but Andrew was contemplating the pros and cons of this plan and he had to admit that his wives were more forward-thinking than he was, as nothing like this ever occurred to him.

However, after some thought, he raised the issue that concerned him, "But by leaving you here, you would be unprotected", however, Candice immediately said, "Not really. You can travel with Oliver, Marie, and Aki, while Castor and the others stay behind to protect us, so there shouldn't be a problem."

While it was true that Castor and Erick were powerful, Andrew still wasn't sure they would be enough to protect them in the chaos the war would bring, so he asked Fluffy, "Is there any way for my wives to receive control of the Heavenly Palace in my absence?"

A few seconds of silence passed. No one interrupted Andrew's thought process because they knew he must be talking to his divine beast about something, so they remained silent.

"It's possible, but the master would have to make a big change," Fluffy suddenly said. Andrew furrowed his eyebrows as he listened to him, for he had never heard Fluffy so serious and before he could ask, Fluffy began to explain.

It turns out that Andrew's wives who held the wife seal could exert similar control to Andrew's, but they were too weak to do so. It all lay in the fact that it was not normal for a god candidate to be able to create a temple in the first seal, so it could not be used to its fullest capacity.

For this reason, if Andrew wanted one of his wives to have this capacity, the only way was for them to be pregnant. In this way, they would receive an increase of divinity since the child between them would be a demigod or rather a sleeping god.

The problem was that Andrew could not impregnate a mortal by normal means. However, Fluffy came up with a solution which was to create a divine fertility matrix, which would allow a greater chance of his wives becoming pregnant.

Obviously, this matrix would have to be purchased in the system and was not cheap, but Fluffy assured that with the rate at which they were having sex, it would not be difficult to get the missing points in a week.

Andrew was a little reluctant to do this for two reasons. The first was that he didn't want to justify pregnancy as a means of getting something, he felt it would be disrespectful to both their wives and children.

The second reason was that he did not feel ready to be a father, much less a father to a sleeping god. His son would be a god in his own right, only his divinity would be sealed in a similar way to his, however, like his wives he could ascend once he did.

As much as he pondered the matter, he could not make up his mind and preferred to tell the situation with his wives. This was not his decision alone so he told them everything he had discussed with Fluffy.

The girls were surprised to hear Andrew and even blushed at the thought of being mothers. Aki was the only one who was calm, since it had been decided that she would travel with Andrew, she was not included in this plan.

While Carolina, Helena, and Candice, fell into deep thought. In their minds, they had the same concerns as Andrew. They didn't want to conceive a child just to get something and they were unsure about being mothers, but at the same time, they were somewhat excited, as they were also attracted to the idea of having a child with Andrew.

Seeing the girls pensive, Andrew didn't interrupt them and let them think at ease, but after several minutes, Candice said, "Although I don't think it's the right reason to have a child, I would like to have one."

The blush on her face was as clear as red on a tomato. Carolina and Helena were no better off, as they had the same thought. Aki on the other hand had a dark look on her face and feigning annoyance said, "I don't think it's fair that you have children and I don't."

At the comment, they all laughed, as they knew the girl just wanted to relax the situation and Andrew stroked her pretending to comfort her for the aggravation. Once they calmed their laughter, Andrew spoke again, "So, I assume we'll follow this plan right?".

They all blushed again and nodded in agreement. Although nervous, Andrew smiled. He was a little scared to have children, but he was also excited because it would be his offspring, in a way he longed to see his children.
