"I am going to use God's eyes to search up this entire town."

God's eyes were a technique Nero had discovered before he was sealed. God's eyes can find anyone and see through anything— even through clothes, if used carefully and precisely— but even Nero hadn't mastered that ability.

Though he could see through things like clouds and trees, he needed focus and time to see through something else.

"Why don't you climb higher?" Sophia suggested.

"We are of the five-story inn, what can be taller…" Nero looked back to see a tall clock tower that had a huge bell. It rang in an emergency or special events and occasions.

"Why don't we go up there? It would be easy to see through the entire town." Sophia stood up.

"Yeah."

Nero was about to jump to climb the tower, but he noticed Sophia staring at him and stopped. "What?"

"I am not going to use my angelic powers because if I do, the heavens would know our seals are broken."

"The gates are closed, so they can't see anything?" Nero smirked. "Interesting."

"And I can't use my wings right now because my body is still unstable."

Sophia wrapped her arms around Nero's neck and said in a mischievous tone, "Would you mind carrying me as you did earlier."

"Sure… wait, I never told you I carried you here, so how do you know?" Nero exclaimed, "Don't tell me… you were awake the entire time?!"

"No, I just had a dream."

"And I was carrying you in that dream?"

Sophia shook her head and tightened her grip around Nero's neck, then said as she smiled, "I was the one carrying you."

"Now that brings back some of my dark and embarrassing memories."

Nero picked up Sophia and jumped, then jumped again. In two jumps, Nero had climbed the clock tower.

Sophia sat down on the tiled roof of the clock tower, and Nero closed his eyes— then soon opened them again. His eyes glowed purple.

'He drank Emilia's blood, so his presence should be obvious— even if the effect has drawn off.'

Since Nero hadn't mastered this ability, and even if he had— it would take a deep concentration and time to use it— and Nero didn't have much time to waste. He glanced in all directions— then, he clenched his fists.

"Did you find that person?" Sophia asked curiously.

"No," Nero exhaled sharply. 'So I was overthinking after all. That mortal didn't come here,'

When Nero looked at Sophia to answer her, he was blinded by her light.

"Why did I even look at you knowing what would happen."

"Hehe," Sophia giggled.

Nero then looked at the inn and squinted his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

"Emilia is moving… I mean… she is awake."

"Do you want to go back? She might be panicking think you left or something."

"Hmm," Nero watched Emilia a little more, "She is just going downstairs."

"She must be looking for you."

Nero sat down beside Sophia and sighed. "I want some alone time with you."

Sophia leaned and placed her head on Nero's shoulder. "This all feels unreal."

"This is reality."

"I feel like just some hours ago, we were all chatting happily, enjoy ourselves, preparing for your wedding, and… now eternity had passed."

"Tell me, Sophi," Nero glanced over at his shoulder and asked in a gentle voice, "Did you know about this?"

Sophia raised her head from Nero's shoulder and looked at him in disbelief.

"Do you think I was with them?"

"I am not saying that. I am just asking if you were aware of that." Nero stopped and smiled wryly, "You have always been a clever one."

"I would prefer if you don't compliment me like this."

"Sophi…"

"Hmm?"

"I have become an immortal, Sophi."

Sophia's eyes widened as she looked at Nero.

"Why do you believe that?"

"Well… things happened, and I was decapitated, but I was still alive, and it didn't even hurt."

Sophia raised her hand and touched Nero's cheek.

"What am I going to do with this immortality? Suffer for eternity?"

Sophia rubbed her thumb on Nero's cheek, "Zeus."

Nero turned his face towards Sophia and touched Sophia's cheek.

"You are not immortal," stated Sophia.

Nero rubbed caressed Sophia's cheek and said with a puzzled— yet calm look on his face, "What do you mean? How else would you explain that phenomenon?"

"You are not an immortal…" Sophia stopped and uttered inwardly to herself, 'Because you had surpassed immortality a long time ago. You are a celes—'

Sophia stopped when she noticed Nero touching her weirdly.

"Zeus… what are you doing?"

"The curse is broken, so it's hard for me to control myself," Nero moved his hand to Sophia's shoulder.

"You have thousands of curses, so what curse are you talking about?"

"Curse number one hundred and sixty-nine," Nero answered as he moved his hand from Sophia's shoulder to her back.

Sophia didn't try to shrug Nero off and instead said, "And what was that curse number one hundred and sixty-nine?"

"Well, I did it with Emilia, so the curse of lust is broken, and now I can't control myself. So would you please seal that curse as you did before?"

Sophia stared at Nero in both surprise and disbelief. 'He doesn't remember?'

Nero noticed Sophia's shocked face and asked, "What's wrong? Hurry up and seal that curse, or I might end up doing something to you."

Nero tried to pull his hand back as he said, "Earlier too, I kept wanting to touch Emilia, and it was so hard to abstain myself. If it goes any longer, I might just attack some random girl."

"Zeus, I can't seal that curse."

"Why not? You did it before, so I am sure you can do it again."

"At that time, you were… well… virgin, and now you are not. So even if I seal that curse, it won't work."

Nero moved his hand to Sophia's thighs and exclaimed, "So you are saying there is no fixing this? What am I supposed to do now?!"

"Relieve yourself. Just do it with that fallen angel again, and the curse would be drawn off for a day," Sophia shrugged.

"I can't! I promised her that I would never touch her without her permission."

"Then…" Sophia's face flushed as she glanced at Nero, "How about you do it with me?"
