Human society is based on want. Life is based on want. Wild-eyed visionaries may dream of a world without need. Cloud-cuckoo-land, they may call it, but it can’t be done.
Because in life there are only two tragedies : One is not getting what one wants, and the second is getting it.
Pablo’s deepest desires were revealed by the Enchanted Mirror and the mirror gave him the strongest color possible for his Ego.
But, no one saw that other than Pablo.
"Miss Herald got the incredible purple color!" A soldier announced. "She got the same color as her father. She made the Count proud. Praise the Count and his daughter!"
CLAP!
CLAP!
Everyone clapped for the count’s daughter as Purple was the second strongest color after Black.

"As expected from Miss Herald."
"She has a huge amount of beauty and power."
"She should become the next Count after her father."
"She now has the power as well."
"She is a prodigy!"
’Isn’t that too much praise? I got the strongest one, you know?’
Pablo’s mirror was now all black and it would stay like that only for thirty seconds. It was written on the golden card.
But the other people and soldiers were all focused on praising the daddy’s girl. They did their best to say sweet words.
Pablo stood on his toes but he still wasn’t able to see the face of the popular girl. She was surrounded by nearly everyone in plot 9.
"Oho. Haha. Thank you so much, everyone. Here…" The girl spoke and her voice was very light.
Then the next second, a rain occurred inside the room.
TUN!
TUN!
TUN!
It was the rain of coins. The daughter threw gold coins all around the room and everyone became rabid dogs by that.
"Miss Herald is so generous."
"Miss Herald is so nice."
"Haha. You all are so kind. Have some more.." The daughter threw more coins in the air and now even the soldiers hopped on them to catch it. It was free money.
Some coins came near Pablo as well but he didn’t take them.
He roamed his head and saw a few more people who weren’t pouncing on the coins.
The daughter was still throwing coins all around and people were praising her constantly.
By such a gesture, Pablo understood one thing.
’She is an attention seeker. She wants acknowledgement. That’s the hardest and easiest kind of person to deal with.’
Pablo would have made a full character profile of the daughter but he had very less information about her to do that.
"Move, brat." A soldier shouted and Pablo moved to the side as well.
The soldier dashed towards Pablo at full speed but Pablo didn’t panic. He knew why the soldier was coming.
The soldiers picked up all the coins lying around Pablo and in hurry, he didn’t even pay attention to Pablo’s black mirror.
’Is money a scarce source here? Well, free money is indeed hard to get so it makes sense.’ Pablo waited for the soldier to do his thing and after three seconds, the soldier went away to praise the daughter more.
’And why is this Angel so focused on her? Look here. Look at my mirror. It will go away’ Pablo called Cupid, he wanted at least Cupid to see his Ego color. She was laughing the hardest.
However, Cupid didn’t react to Pablo’s shouts. She was just staring at the Count’s daughter.
’Hey Angel! Look here!’ Pablo shouted inside his mind but still received no reaction from Cupid.
’Guess she won’t listen like this.’ Pablo sighed and used another tactic to get Cupid’s attention.
’I will kill everyone present here. I will make a bomb.’
"What? No. You can’t do that"
’Too easy.’
Cupid finally turned his head at Pablo and Pablo without waiting for anything, gestured his hands towards the mirror.
Cupid saw it and…
"I already knew this would happen." She was unhinged.
The black color on the mirror didn’t astonish her at all.
Pablo frowned. ’You already knew?’
"Yes. You lived two lives so it’s only natural you will get two Egoes."
’But then why you acted surprised when I got the white color and also, you were laughing your ass off just a few moments ago and why the fuck are you so intrested in that Count’s girl?’
Pablo asked everything he wanted to ask from the Angel.
"You use such foul language. Don’t you know how to talk to girls?"
’Just answer.’
"I was just playing. I wanted to see your reaction when you will see that you got the weakest level. I know you will get two Egoes. And since Void Grief was not that ambitious, he got White and since you are you, you got Black. Though, my laugh was genuine. I really liked that nickname of yours."
’I see. So you can lie as well. Some Angel you are.’
"It wasn’t a lie. I was just playing. And I am only thirteen years old."
’I don’t know what your age has got to do with anything we are talking about right now. And you still haven’t told me why you are so focused on the girl. You are still stealing glances towards her. Did you fall in love or something?’
"No. But I will tell you later. First we should leave from here."
’Sure. And the mirror is back to normal as well. That girl stole all my attention. Now everyone thinks I got the weakest level Ego. What a mess.’
Pablo wasn’t that much worried about what others would think but he surely was afraid whether he would be allowed inside the military with the weakest color.
He stared at the mirror and now it was showing Pablo’s reflection just like before.
’I wanted to check one thing for a while now. Let’s see..’ Pablo opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue.
The mirror showed him the reflection of his tongue and when he saw the round, curly markings on it, he nodded.
’Their fingerprints are still here. That’s good to know.’
The fingerprints of the five Gods were present on Pablo’s tongue. He was afraid they would vanish after he would be sent to Seraphim in a new body. But that wasn’t the case.
"Now, everyone…" The soldier who came with the Count’s daughter shouted and everyone paid attention to him.
"Disperse!" He said and instantly everyone went back to their position.
Now no one was around the daughter anymore and Pablo finally got a good look at her.
The daughter also glanced her eyes at Pablo and the next second, she averted her eyes as fast as possible.
’She thinks she is a princess. I hate such people the most.’
Pablo stopped looking at her as well. He didn’t want the girl to get a wrong idea and he certainly couldn’t afford to offend her, at least not yet.
But other than Pablo someone else was staring at the girl as well.
Pablo saw that and shook his head. ’She is doing it again.’
It was Cupid. She was staring at the Count’s daughter as well and she had a constant frown on her face.
Pablo didn’t like that. Cupid never did something like this.
’What is going on, Angel? You better tell me. I would hate it if something came to bite me in future.’
Cupid sighed and turned her head towards Pablo.
"Pablo," She said and Pablo knew something crucial was coming. She never called him by his name that too, in a serious manner.
Pablo gawked at Cupid and Cupid, in all seriousness, finally told him why she was so focused on the daughter of the Count..
"She also has an Angel with her."
