Capítulo 17: Chapter 17: Back to home.

Three days had passed since Eros arrived at his home. His humble residence was located in the central area where celebrities, top magus, and politicians lived. The trip drained him mentally and physically. At least he made some good memories. His room was spacious, yet it exuded solitude. The room had basic amenities like a reading table, a bed, and a closet, nothing else. The whole room was painted ivory white. Out of nowhere, a thing dashed over his bed and started hissing like a chalk screeched on a blackboard.

"Meowwwww. Meoww. " He petrified and opened his eyes, and alert. He looked around as if a raid had occurred at his house.

"Meow mew." He glanced at his obese feline, who was sitting over his chest and grunting at him. "Klaus! What the hell do you want?" Enraged by the sound, he asked.

In response, the cat purred softly. Many decades ago, Eros adopted this cat from an unknown jungle. Afterwards, these two stayed together. One couldn't deny the fact that he became a little obese."You ugly thing, get off my chest. I wonder what he has been feeding you for years. "

Like an owner, like a pet, he refused to budge. Eros scooped up this adorable thing and got off his bed. In fact, he wasn't even wearing his gloves. Klaus was his familiar, so he was somewhat resistant to his curse.

Eros started his morning routine, which included taking a shower, wearing his suit, and feeding Klaus. If Charles was busy with other chores, he would make his own breakfast. He had been following this routine since his father died.

He descended to the first floor and entered the kitchen. No maids or servants were there, as he was fond of serenity. Although he did install many artificial intelligence appliances to make his life easier,.

[Morning, Master Eros. ] An artificial intelligence greeted him with her melodious voice.

"Morning, Stacy. Would you tell me where Charles is? "A.I. answered, "He is looking after Lady Veronica's condition."Eros nodded. After reaching the airport, Veronica's condition turned worse; she lost consciousness. The doctor said it was due to malnutrition and fatigue.

Three days had already passed, but she hadn't opened her eyes yet.

He shook his head, not letting preconceived thoughts wander around.

He proceeded to make his high-fibre and protein pancake for himself and the cat. The recipe had a few basic ingredients, like chickpea flour, all-purpose flour, a dash of salt, and chilli powder. He poured all the ingredients into one bowl and then began to cut vegetables.

He diced a shallot, cabbage, and tomatoes for sourness. Eros dumped it in a bowl and added water for a runny batter.

He switched on the flame, placed the pan, and added two tablespoons of butter. Lastly, pour the batter into the pan.

His salty pancake was ready to eat with his espresso.

The silver cutlery was shimmering and tasted enhanced double. He sat on the table, put some chilli oil on it.

The taste was finger-linkish, yet not as tasty as what his late mother cook. As he was about to take another bite, Charles appeared in his sight.

The liveliness Eros was used to was gone from Charles face. His face was sombre, like something dreadful had happened. "Any luck." Eros asked, putting his silver coffee mug on the table.

Charles shook his head and mumbled in an irritating tone. "The lady is fine, but that ignorant doctor didn't know how to do their job. I wonder, are they really qualified to call themselves doctors? "

Listening to his disappointment, he could guess the doctor couldn't find what was wrong with her. It was not a doctor's flaw; instead, they didn't have much knowledge of treating mutants. The second thing was that her M2 magic was depleting for some reason, which was dreadful.

When a meteor fell on the earth, medical health was divided into two parts: conventional and non-conventional. Non-conventional refers to a healer or priest who treats mutants with M2 magic. Both were good in their own ways. Therefore, Eros didn't believe in unconventional methods of treating people. In his opinion, they would likely be scammers. Nothing else.

Eros sipped his coffee, and glared at the man. "Don't touch my pancake."

Charles blinked his eyes and sat down on the chair. " Are you still bitter that I hurt your delicate flower? Come on, Eros, I am atoning myself by taking care of Miss Veronica. "

"Don't eat it." He ignored the butler's words.

"Just one bite."

He sighed and let him eat this. Even though he wanted to punch him badly, he couldn't deny the fact that he was doing his best.

The horrid act done by V-fifty-six still lingered in his mind. How could a girl who was so nice to him change 360°? As he was contemplating, Charles' voice echoed in his ears.

"Are you sure she is the right girl? "

"Yes. You haven't seen what I see. Her azure flames and golden lights re-energise me. It was an astonishing moment." He interjected.

Charles raised his eyebrows, not sure if his master was allured by the slave or not.

"I wish this girl can give you what you yearn most. " He commented as he was slightly discontent about it.

"She will. By the way, do you have any knowledge of necromancy magic circles like that? "

"The way you described it before, I am not sure. " Charles is himself a Nova Magus and has profound knowledge of spells, potions, and magic circles.

The rank of Magi was categorised into different levels: Apprentice, Master, Elite,, Nova magi. Eros himself was an apprentice magus, but he was about to reach mastery soon.

"I forgot to mention, there were four elements—darkness, fire, light, and sound used in this magic circle. Unlike a spell, which needed to be an incantation, it didn't need that. Do you think there is a possibility she is a reincarnation of God? "

"Hmm. I am not sure about Eros. The history and different mythologies I have read. It can be true."

Eros's face is darkened after hearing it.

Silence!

Charles opened his mouth with seriousness. "I pray she is resistant to your curse.
