The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a palace in the sky,

A silver-haired girl was seen lying on the bed. She had not moved nor opened her eyes, and the virgin’s chest could be seen rising and falling as a sign that she was still alive. The atmosphere in the room was so quiet that if there was even the slightest sound, it would definitely be known by the guards or servants outside the room.

Inside the mirror, a man was standing at the edge of the mirror. He stood up silently and continued to observe the young woman who was still lying on her bed. Meanwhile, a black shadow appeared behind the man and gradually formed the posture of a woman and stood not far from there.

“Why did you come here?” That man asked a woman who was about one meter behind him.

“Since when do you even pay attention to the Moon Goddess? Are you interested in her?” A white-eyed woman asked back, and the interlocutor turned around.

“It is none of your business.” The black-clothed man answered the opposite sex’s question, while the woman did not answer the man’s question at all. A slender woman actually laughed a little, but her interlocutor did not mind this, and she was still paying attention to the movements of the virgin goddess.

“If you really start to like her, then you could try to propose to her. Goddess Avtexia will definitely agree.” A woman with a scary aura made a suggestion. However, the same man still remained silent, instead ignoring the recommendation.

“She already had a special guy.” That was all the immortal god said, so that woman snorted in annoyance.

“Her lover is just a rotten mortal man. He is nothing compared to you.” A woman who hated darkness tried to encourage the man, but the burly man had not given his consent. The atmosphere between them returned to silence because the conversation that had occurred had stopped.

“Wha-”

Before that woman had time to finish her words, she suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the mirror, which made her stop talking. The Night Goddess walked towards a man who was still standing at the edge of the mirror, and when she arrived there, she saw a husband and wife entering the room of Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover. They seemed to be approaching the bed where the Queen of Witches lay.

“You can try to checking Atvertha, darling.” A man with a long silver beard said to the woman next to him.

“Yes, my husband.” The Sun Goddess replied. As soon as possible, she held the girl’s right hand, and the goddess’s eyes changed. Without them knowing, there were four pairs of eyes watching the behaviour of Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia. In less than a minute, Atvertha’s biological mother exhaled heavily and then began to look around the room. This action confused the palace owner.

“What happened, dear?” asked Lord Helion, who was carrying his beloved trident.

“Our daughter has been bred by an immortal goddess,” answered Goddess Avtexia, annoyed.

“Who was the immortal goddess?” The wise man was curious because he had never met his daughter’s friend, while the woman who had a facial resemblance to the princess seemed reluctant to answer, but she still had to tell the truth.

“Who else could it be if not Nyx.”

When she heard her name called, the Goddess of the Night, who had been listening to the conversation, suddenly laughed a little, but her voice could not be heard outside. Meanwhile, the cold-looking man standing next to Nyx did not seem impressed and acted normal, as if nothing strange had happened.

“Why do you say that, darling? Do you have proof?” Lord Helion was confused by the name his wife had mentioned, and Goddess Avtexia nodded, even though inside, she was very annoyed with Nyx’s actions.

“No immortal god or goddess can unlock my freezing spell other than him. I do not need any proof for that.” A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, could not hide her annoyance, so she snorted rather loudly.

“Why is she the only one who can do it, darling? Can’t your magic be broken by other immortal gods or goddesses?”

“Of course. I know Nyx can do that because most witches performed rituals at night. Nyx is the Goddess of Darkness and Night, so there is nothing hidden behind it.”

A terrifying grin appeared on the face of the goddess who lived in the Underworld. A woman, wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like night and filled with sparkling light, looked delighted, and she did not hide her feelings. Meanwhile, the guy next to the girl slowly turned his head towards her. “Do not be surprised, Brother.”

“You must be very happy.” A man with a baritone voice answered, but Nyx grinned again as if proud of what she had done with Atvertha.

“Did you hear that? Even the Sun Goddess knew that only I could break her spell. You should be proud of me, Brother.” The black-haired woman continued to look towards her best friend’s room and did not want to look directly at the person she was talking to.

“And are you proud of that?”

“Of course, I am proud! I do not want to let the Upper World gods and goddesses look down on our family, Brother. The more they know about who we are and what power we have, the less they dare to harm us.”

“Honey, let’s just leave Atvertha alone. Let her rest.” Lord Helion’s voice distracted the three-hundred-and-ten-year-old man, so he looked back at the mirror, which showed the situation in the bedroom of the sleeping virgin goddess.

“Nyx must be around here somewhere, but I can’t feel her energy.” A woman who hated darkness looked around the place again, but what she did was in vain because she could not find the target. Nyx could not help but laugh a little because this moment felt funny to her.

“She is definitely not in this room, darling. Do not be too prejudiced against immortals, even though they live in different areas.” Nyx was shocked by the last sentence spoken by the Ruler of the Seas, so it was clear from her face that she had no idea that Lord Helion respected the gods and goddesses who lived in the Underworld. However, this situation only lasted for a moment because her face returned to normal.

Goddess Avtexia did not say anything, but her face was very similar because she heard her husband’s defence for her daughter’s best friend. Without further ado, that husband and wife left the room so that the Crossroads Lady’s room fell silent again. “Lord Helion is not as bad as I thought. Are you still unwilling to help Atvertha?” asked Lord Havento without glancing at the opposite sex.

“I will not lick my own spit. I never liked it when Atvertha was in a relationship with that bastard mortal, so do not expect that to happen,” answered Nyx matter-of-factly.

“Is your attitude not cruel? You and Atvertha are very close, but instead, you distance yourself just because of the man she chose.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

“That is not the problem, but I only stick to the principles, Brother. I bet that if you and her get married, then everything will be easier.”

Now, a man who had a height of two meters tall laughed, but not too loudly. The sight made the woman grin. “You two are better together, Brother. I can help you so that Atvertha will like you and you two can get married. How is it?”

“I do not want to get a girl by cheating, Nyx.” The strong-jawed man rejected his sister’s suggestion, but Nyx instead shook her head, which surprised the Ruler of the Underworld.

“That is not cheating. It is actually a wise action. Try it, and you will get the results.” Nyx tried to convince her eldest brother. However, a guy who had never left the Underworld shook his head, so the older sister became annoyed and, at the same time, was challenged to win her older brother’s heart so that he would marry Atvertha.

“I am not interested in pursuing love. I am not a desperate mortal guy.” Lord Havento refused the invitation, but this action only made the person he was talking to become even more enthusiastic as if she saw a hidden loophole to make her plan successful.

“You will definitely do the same as Atvertha, even worse than that. You still need a companion, Brother. Do not deny your own biological needs.”

“You want to lecture me, Sister? She is not my type.”

“No, I do not want to do that. I am just reminding you. Before it is too late, my offer is still valid: do you want to marry Atvertha? I can make her fall in love with you and stay forever in the Underworld because she also likes darkness and our place. That is good for her and you.”

“Why should I trust you?” Now, the brother and sister stared at each other in the reflection of the mirror. That young man’s flat expression did not discourage the Night Goddess.

“Why? Because I am her best friend. I help her more than her mother. I know her deepest secrets.” Nyx pointed to the bed, where a young girl was seen who was still unconscious.

“So?”

“So, my brother, would you like to marry my stupid best friend, Atvertha?”
