In a palace in the sky
A pale-faced young woman was seen walking with a lady-in-waiting. No conversation had occurred while they were walking. So, sunlight entered all the rooms in the palace, and the atmosphere became bright. The guards were seen at every corner to guard the designated area.
Why did that annoying god even come here, anyway? What does he want from me? It is irritating because that weird guy is always looking for a way to contact me here. My mother even mentioned his name in class today. What a sucker! Atvertha became restless at the thought of a man who was so annoying to her.
A few moments later, the two young girls arrived in front of a room. Two bodyguards were already standing there, so when they saw that two females had arrived, especially since one of them was the only daughter of the couple, God Helion — the ruler of the sea, and Goddess Avtexia — the ruler of the sun. They immediately greeted, "Good morning, Goddess Atvertha."
"Good morning. Are my parents already inside?” asked the young lady with a pointy nose. The Goddess had deliberately asked this question, even though she already knew the actual answer.
"God Helion and Goddess Avtexia are in the room. Does Goddess Atvertha want to go in there? " One guard replied. He did not dare to look directly at the other person so that when he spoke, he remained in a standby position. Meanwhile, his partner performs the same action, but the young man remains silent.
"Yes, I want to go in there."
After saying this, the large white door opened by itself. The young woman, who has a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, walked into the room without saying a word. The memory of the mortal being saved by the moon goddess suddenly came back to Atvertha's mind, and the moment made the young lady nervous.
Why do I think the guy is doing it now? Is he okay? Why do I want to see him again? He was so handsome and tall. No! This can't happen. We are different, and mom has forbidden me to marry a mortal no matter what. Am I sick? However, immortals do not feel pain like normal humans do, Atvertha thought, as she continued to meander.
A hundred meters away, a husband and wife were sitting on a long, beautiful white sofa. However, they were not alone because a well-built man was talking to them.
"So, what are you busy with now?" asked a man with a trident in his right hand. He also sat beside the sun goddess.
"I am dealing with the war that is about to take place in Athminth, God's Helion. They ask for my help so that they can win against their enemies," replied the amber-eyed man.
"Oh, I see. Did you, aside from the war over there—"
Their conversation was interrupted because someone approached, so the attention of everyone on the sofa immediately turned to it. The black-haired man was stunned, then suddenly stood up from his seat. “Atvertha, it has been a long time since I last saw you," he whispered.
The girl's expression remained pale and expressionless, so the other person could not tell what she was thinking. "What do you want?"
The question from the virgin did not dampen the spirit of the unyielding man. Meanwhile, the girl's parents said nothing. They preferred to focus on the conversation that was taking place between Atverta and Toghnath. "I want to meet you because I miss you."
Atvertha as soon as possible snorted when she heard the answer from the opposite s*x. She did not hide her feelings, even though the mother flinched when she saw her daughter's unexpected reaction. The man, who has a height of one hundred and ninety-five centimeters, remains calm as if he does not mind the attitude of the girl he loves.
"Do not be silly. Every day you come here, so how can you say that you miss me? "
"Atvertha!"
God Helion held his beloved wife's hand so that the woman would not stand up. The sun goddess turned to the head of the family with a furious expression. In fact, the color of her eyes turned red, a sign that she was angry. The man with the crown on his head just shook his head, as if telling his wife not to get involved in their only daughter's personal life.
"Why do you say that, Atvertha? I do come every day because I really miss you. Is that wrong? " asked the amber-eyed man. He felt strange because the goddess of the heart had treated him in a less-than-ideal way.
The owner of the name, who is also the moon goddess, prefers to look away, so that she does not look at the opposite s*x, who has been waiting for her to come. "If there is nothing important to talk about, then do not come here and waste my precious time."
Everyone there was shocked, including the parents of the virgin goddess. “Atvertha! Why do you say? What a presumptuous bastard!" snapped the mother, who had run out of patience. Goddess Avtexia spontaneously stood up, so her husband also took the same action. God Helion tried to prevent his wife from getting angry and grabbed her right hand.
"It is okay, The Sun Goddess. Maybe Atvertha's mood is not good right now, so she said that. I am sure she does not mean to say it. " The war god said that on purpose because he did not want the mother and daughter to get into a fight, even though inside, the burly man felt hurt.
"Are you not tired of coming here all the time? Do not you have something to do as a god?" Atvertha asked, irritated.
The pointy-nosed girl did not seem afraid of Goddess Atvexia's reaction, so she seemed to be doing this on purpose. However, the three-hundred-year-old man smiled instead, so the virgin and her parents were a little confused by God Toghnath's reaction.
"Do not worry. I have done whatever needed to be done as a war god. If you feel upset, why do not you tell me? I am all ears. " The unyielding man answered straightforwardly. Even worse, he seemed more carefree and relaxed, which made the girl angry.
"It is none of your business—"
Before the young woman could finish her words, the wife of God Helion had already cut her off. "Enough! Atvertha, you have gone too far, even being presumptuous! Now you must sit down and accompany Toghnath to chat! "
The moon goddess looked upset because her mother had not fully given her permission to do her job. She wanted to argue, "But I—"
"No buts! You have to act like a top-class immortal and keep your attitude! We have never raised a child who acted arbitrarily, let alone spoke harshly as you did earlier. Sit down! "
Suddenly, Atvertha's body moved by itself, so she sat on the sofa not far from the amber-eyed man. God Helion looked at his beloved wife, whose eyes were red because anger reigned in her heart. There was silence because they knew that all this happened thanks to the power of the sun goddess.
"That's better. Show your courtesy to our guest because he deserves it."
Then God Helion and his wife sat back down, as did the guest. There was a moment of silence because none of them had yet started a conversation. The sharp-nosed girl avoided the gaze of the man who was thirty years older than her.
The handsome man watched Atvertha intently. An idea crossed his mind, so Toghnath wanted to ask Atvertha, who was still reluctant to look at him. "Atvertha, do you have an event later? If it does not exist yet, then would you mind attending the banquet that the God Atmenth's family will host together with me? "
"I... of course, I want to go with you." The girl's expression immediately paled after she finished saying that, so Atvertha spontaneously looked at her mother, who was still staring at her without blinking at all.
The moon goddess felt that she had said the wrong thing, but such an event was out of control, so she believed that if the sun goddess had done something, she could change the answer that came out of her lips. Meanwhile, Atvertha's interlocutor was already happy, because the black-haired man had received a positive answer, which was in line with what he expected.
"Mom, you—"
The owner of a pair of violet eyes seemed unable to finish her speech, especially when she saw the serious look of her biological mother. Meanwhile, a man holding a trident only glanced at his lovely wife, who was still in the same state, making God Helion even more anxious. However, he had yet to take any other action, as he was still observing the situation.
"What did I do, Atvertha?" challenged Goddess Avtexia, with a sinister expression. In fact, her two bloodshot eyes appear to be ready to strike.
