Watson stopped the carriage and he said that he could only go this far.
"Why is that?" Pablo asked.
"Just after two kilometers, you will find the Hermit slums, after that you will find Glory city and after Glory city you will find the Forsaken Village. And as the rumors say, that village and the areas near it are dangerous these days. I will not risk my life, my lord." Watson gave an honest answer.
"Fine." Pablo agreed.
He stood up and got out of the carriage.
Sera followed him.
"Give him some money. He really made me reach here before dark." Pablo said.
"Right." Sera did what Pablo said and gave a pouch of coins to Watson.
Watson took it.
"Thank you, my lady. And my lord, good luck."
Pablo nodded.
Watson returned the nod and reversed the carriage.
After that, he ran away.
Pablo and Sera were now standing on an empty road. There was no one near them.
"Well, let’s go."
Pablo started walking forward. There was no point in waiting. It was only one kilometer away after all.
Sera walked beside Pablo and she was over the moon.
"It’s like we are taking a long walk together."
’We are.’
"Don’t forget what I told you."
"Yes. Yes. I know everything. I will only do what you say."
"Yeah. Don’t increase my problems there."
"I won’t." Sera promised.
Pablo sighed. He just hoped she kept her promise.
"Anyway, let’s talk about something romantic." Sera suggested.
"No thanks."
"Did you ever love someone?" Sera asked anyway.
"No. I didn’t have time for that. There was no one in the slum worthy of love. Not that I am one to talk."
"Oh. Then what do you think of me?"
"Nothing."
"What? I did so much for you and you think nothing of me? I love you." Sera didn’t like Pablo’s answer.
"Don’t get me wrong. I just don’t think in terms of love. I don’t have any love inside me. And I don’t deserve it either. You did good things for me and I adore that. Keep helping me, Sera."
Pablo showed a warm smile and Sera rested her head on Pablo’s shoulder.
"I will keep helping you as long as I live. And everyone deserves love. So as you and so as I."
’Naive.’
Pablo let Sera rest her head as they walked.
’You sure acted like you care for her. Do you really adore her? Was that true?’ Cupid asked.
’Of course not. I just didn’t want her to get angry. Her anger can disrupt my plans. And also, I can’t give her the cold shoulder all the time.’
’Why? I am sure she won’t mind your cold shoulder.’
’You don’t know, Angel. When love isn’t reciprocated…’ Pablo glanced at the smiling Sera.
’It turns malevolent.’
’I see. So you are neither showing her too much love nor showing her too much hate. You are keeping it in between.’ Cupid understood.
’Yeah. I am playing with her love.’
’That’s a very bad thi-Wait.’ Cupid abruptly stopped.
’What?’ Pablo asked.
’Andre is going to say something.’ Cupid revealed.
’Keep hearing.’ Pablo would like to know what Sera’s Angel thinks.
"I also love you, dearest." Andre spoke.
"I know." Sera replied.
Pablo frowned. "Are you talking to your Angel?"
"Yes. He is saying he loves me. He says it daily a thousand times." Sera revealed.
Pablo jerked his head at Cupid.
Cupid had her eyes wide open.
’Why are you so shocked about this?’ Pablo asked.
’No. That’s not it. It’s just Andre is totally in love with her. He is acting just like a teenage boy. A poet.’
’And you are surprised about that?’
’He is the strongest Angel. He never acts like this. He always remained dignified back at home. But in front of her, he is a different person. He is Human.’
’I see. Why does he love her though?’ Pablo became curious.

"Sera," He said. "Ask your Angel why he loves you."
"Sure. He will say the same thing again though."
Sera turned her head a little at Andrezj and asked, "Why do you love me, Andrezj?"
Cupid awaited Andrezj’s answer and Andrezj finally spoke :
"From the base of your neck, to the arch of your eyelids your beauty made a slave of me."
"Wow." Cupid was impressed. She even forgot to speak through her mind.
"What did he say?" Pablo asked.
Sera told him with a smile. "From the base of my neck, to the arch of my eyelids, my beauty made a slave of him."
’That’s… Adonis said that. It’s a quote from a book.’
"That’s a great line." Pablo praised anyway.
’Andre didn’t create it himself?’ Cupid asked. She thought that line was the original.
’No. It is from Earth. He must have heard it somewhere and felt the same way after meeting Sera. He must be jealous of me as well.’
’I must have missed reading that. Otherwise I should have known. I was impressed for nothing.’ Cupid wasn’t that much impressed anymore. If Andre would have said something original then she would have liked it more.
’Coming up with something original is tough, angel. I have read countless books of the same storyline.’
’I agree with that.’ Cupid agreed.
"Do you also think I am beautiful?" Sera asked.
"Yes. But it’s all about the genes. Your mother and father must be good looking as well."
"They were. My mother was even prettier than me."
"She must be."
"Do you want to know why I killed her?" Sera asked and there was no regret on her face. Her head was still on Pablo’s shoulder.
’I already know.’
"No need. I don’t care." Pablo replied.
"Okay."
Sera stopped talking and crossed arms with Pablo. They were now looking like a couple.
’I am surprised you didn’t shove her away by now. Usually you are like ’don’t touch me bitch.’ ’I am Pablo Castillo.’ But today you are being nice to her.’
’I am giving her a recharge. She won’t be able to do such things for a few weeks. If I make her deprived of myself then she could make problems for me. She would do anything to touch me. I don’t want that during the mission.’
’There is always a motive behind your actions. Just do something for the sake of doing it.’
Pablo didn’t reply and kept walking.
One hour went by and Pablo finally stopped.
"Sera. Get away." He said.
Sera slowly moved away from Pablo. She wasn’t too close anymore.
Pablo’s eyes were in the front and Sera looked there as well.
"Is this it?" She asked.
Pablo took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"Yeah. This is it."
