31 The Three Musketeers 2

"Speak seriously," Eros warned.

"Fine. As the lord of the underworld, in other words, out high and might Devil, how could you split your body and soul like this? You left your body in your chambers and transported your soul to earth. You know the consequences behind all this! If something happens to your body such as a random attack, you will be a soul without a body. With that alone, your soul will disappear and obviously, you'll die."

Her furrowed brows crinkled, forming creases on her fair skin. Her frown revealed her disapproval of his reckless behavior. Medusa smiled unpleasantly at Eros whose expression hadn't shifted one bit.

"Psyche reincarnated and reached the right age. I need to look for her." His explanation was short and straightforward. His wife was his top priority.

"Oh? For your wife, you'd rather risk everything you've created in the underworld. For your wife, you'd leave yourself in such a life-threatening state." Medusa's eyes scanned Eros's face, not letting a speck of dust out of her sight.

Gradually Eros frowned, which made Medusa smile. Though he was frowning, he was clearly determined to stay on earth. She broke the silence between them and spoke once again. This time, she summoned her favorite fruit tea and took a sip from it.

"Well, if this is what our Lord Eros want, then do it. Find our queen and take care of her. Truthfully speaking, I've never believed in any men when it comes to faith, but you're a first. Since you've waited for so long already, go for it. Let me know if you need anything. I will guard your chamber with my unicorn." She patted her rhinoceros on its head and scratched it gently.

"Thanks, Medusa. By the way..." Eros looked at her with a complex gaze. However, the frown he had earlier was gone.

"What?" She replied.

"That is a rhinoceros, not a unicorn." Eros attempted to correct her.

Medusa gasped, leaned forward, and covered her rhinoceros' ears. "No! he's a unicorn! See? Horns!"

"Rhinoceros," Eros repeated, this time caressing the lines on his forehead.

"If this is a rhinoceros, then your horses are pegasus! Oh, and your North Gate guardian isn't a tiger like you call it! Artemis is a cat! No, a kitten! And your South Gate guardian isn't a flying deer with bat wings! Your East Gate guardian is not the half-aged turtle with a snail's shell either! Your guardians are a whole new story that'll widen your eyes. Hmph!"

"Oh, and those three will stick by your side for as long as you live on earth! Anyway, I will protect you from this end and let you know when you need to come back." She crossed her arms, grinning evilly at him as if she had plans behind his back.

"What..have you done to my guardians? You know what, I don't even want to know about it. If you think I can't do anything about them, then I'll prove you wrong." Eros challenged her plan provocatively, earning a dazzling smile from Medusa.

"We'll see about that." She shrugged, flipping her hands on either side of her body. The portal distorted and began to shrunk after they finished speaking to each other. Sparkles hovered like dust particles before disappearing.

Eros looked down and saw Artemis holding her head as if she was suffering a headache. During the summoning, Eros and Medusa were busily talking back and forth that Artemis kept twisting and turning her head. Lightly patting her furry head with her pink paw, Artemis shook her head in a daze.

"Master! See! Medusa sent me, so you can't throw me back to the underworld!" Artemis felt Eros's intense gaze on her petite form. She immediately refuted his thoughts, only to meet his handsome smile.

"No! Master can't do that! No no no no no no" Artemis crisscrossed her tiny paws left and right, but her efforts were useless against the devil. She felt a small pinch on the back of her body and felt her body being lifted by his hand. Her head faced forward, staring at the balcony where Eros was heading toward.

In the adjacent apartment to Eros's left, Primrose had finished settling down. When she came home half an hour ago, her brothers greeted her with tight hugs and birthday gifts. The second she arrived home, she found herself surrounded by party balloons and crazy strings on the walls. Everything was decorated by her brothers and a warm welcome made her smile sweetly.

"Primmy! Happy 18th birthday! To our pretty little sister!" Her eldest brother, Jayden Smith, and second brother, Collen Smith announced in unison. With smiles revealing their teeth, the two brothers reached out to hug their little sister whom they've doted on since she was young.

"Thank you! Hehehehe" Primrose felt incredibly lucky to have such a loving family. Her parents were busy working on their company overseas, so they couldn't come back in time for her birthday. Because of this, her brothers purposefully cleared their schedule for tonight to celebrate her birthday with her.

Squashed flat between her brothers like a pancake, Primrose giggled merrily while reciprocating the tight hug. Exaggeratedly, her brothers acted as if they were suffocating in her strong arms.

"Arggg, our Primmy has gotten so strong! Brother taught you well!" Jaden remarked after receiving her tight squeeze.

"Right? Primmy has grown up so much. Man, they say girls grow up and change after 18. Look at our sister! She grew up even better looking than when she was a baby. Even your hugs are tighter now!" Collen followed after his elder brother's words, showering compliments to the birthday girl.

"Pffft! Alright already! You two act like you aren't handsome fellows who came out of mom's stomach! Geez, let me settled down and change before we party. Hehehe." She patted her brothers and walked to her room. After changing into a clean set of clothes, she went to wash up for dinner.

When she stepped out of the restroom, she saw her second brother slipping his feet into his sneakers. "Collen, where are you going?"
