Chapter 103. A Big Hope for Atvertha
Inside Goddess Atvertha’s room,
“Wait! Do not go now!”
The two immortal gods had just turned around, but their wish had to be postponed because they heard the prohibition from the room owner. A man, who had a height of two meters, looked at the opposite sex with tenderness and, simultaneously, confusion. “What was wrong? Do you need anything else from me or Hertinoz?” asked Lord Helion matter-of-factly.
“What about the seal in my room? I mean, will Mom and Dad find out that the seal has been removed?” answered Atvertha, who simultaneously asked Nyx’s older brother two new questions.
“Do not worry. Your parents will not know.” The black-haired man answered the girl’s question while trying to calm her down. That violet-eyed woman felt relieved when she heard this while Hertinoz was still waiting for her friend. He was already restless as if an enemy would appear there at any time.
“Atvertha, before we go. It is better for you to pretend to accept an arranged marriage with that bastard immortal god. Try to act so that all the plans we have made do not fail. One day before the wedding day, you can call me or Hertinoz so we can save you here.” A man with a scary aura gave another suggestion, so the young lady could not help but agree, even though in her heart she was fed up with her parent’s behaviour, which was always arbitrary towards her.
“Thank you, Havento. I will follow your words.”
“Great. We will go first. Take care of yourself.” After saying these words, the two men turned around and disappeared from her sight as soon as possible. The virgin could only watch Havento and Hertinoz leave and did not know what to do apart from being silent for a while.
A glimmer of hope arose within the girl because her hope of being with her mortal male would soon come true. After all, she had found two immortal gods who were willing to become her allies. “I am glad the spell I cast worked, even though the immortal gods who came were not what I expected. At least, they were willing to help.”
“I can’t go in and out of the room like usual because my parents might get suspicious. How can I communicate with Armen without Mom and Dad knowing?” The smart girl tried to remember, and an idea crossed her mind; so it increased her excitement.
“I just remembered that Mom told me how to communicate with mortals, especially with High Priests or High Priestesses.” Without further ado, Atvertha stepped in a direction. In less than a minute, the silver-haired woman arrived at the area she wanted and sat on the chair.
“Armen, I will not leave you, even though the situation is not conducive. Wait for me, my man.”

Ten minutes later, in a room in Lord Helion’s palace,
“We would better check on Atvertha’s condition, darling. I am worried about her condition,” said a man wearing a crown on his head. The Lord of the Seas stroked his long beard, and his face revealed a worried expression. Meanwhile, Goddess Avtexia, who was looking in another direction, felt disturbed by these words, so the four-hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman turned to her husband.
“She will be fine, Hubby. Do not worry too much.” A woman who hated darkness tried to change her spouse’s opinion, but a man holding the trident did not seem to agree.
Lord Helion instead looked at his wife with feelings of sadness and annoyance. “Honey, I know you are still angry with our daughter but do not ignore the fact that Atvertha is almost dead and has not yet woken up from fainting. If she wakes up, then we still have to tell her our decision that she will marry Toghnath.”
“If she refused?” asked Goddess Avtexia, raising one eyebrow. That slender woman still remembered Atvertha’s words, which made her very angry.
“If Atvertha does it, even denies it, then we could tell her that this decision cannot be contested by anyone, including herself,” answered Lord Helion patiently. A man who has been married to the opposite sex for hundreds of years already knows his wife’s habits by heart but remains steadfast about it all.
“Okay. Come on, let’s go there, Hubby!” A woman who handed down beauty to her only daughter reluctantly obeyed her husband’s wishes. Lord Helion realised from Goddess Avtexia’s tone there was an element of compulsion. However, he ignored this and smiled sweetly at his beloved lady.
Without many words, the husband and wife immediately left the room. The guards who saw them leave the room quickly bowed as a sign of respect. The atmosphere in the palace was so quiet it made Goddess Avtexia remember her daughter, whom she had deliberately sealed in the room.
Why was Atvertha so adamant about maintaining a relationship with that dirty mortal? What was the special things about that stupid guy? In appearance, he was quite handsome and had a strong body, but marriage is not just about physicality, but more than that. I want to see my daughter’s condition. Too bad Nyx healed it instead, so the effect of my blow was not too heavy! The blue-eyed woman grumbled inside so Lord Helion could not hear her.
A few moments later, the two immortal gods and goddesses arrived in front of a room, the door of which seemed to be tightly closed. A woman who could be very cruel when angry could not try to hide her smile when she saw a golden yellow light still attached to the door so that she subconsciously muttered, “Good. This means everyone is safe, and no one is helping Atvertha.”
“What is it, honey?” Lord Helion spontaneously turned to the woman beside him.
“There is not anything.” A beautiful woman began to give off a scary aura, so the man frowned because he saw something odd.
“Honey, are you okay?” A man who could create storms and rainstorms kept an eye on the interlocutor’s movements. Goddess Avtexia just shook her head in response without wanting to look at his face, so this action added to her strangeness.
“I am okay, Husband. Do you want us to enter the room or talk at the door?” The Sun Goddess deliberately diverted the conversation so that the wise man remembered their original purpose before going there.
“It is better if we just go in rather than having to talk here. I do not want our conversation to be heard by the servants or guards.” The four hundred-and-forty-year-old man could not imagine that the second option would happen to them, so Goddess Avtexia turned to him and smiled broadly. However, for some reason, Lord Helion what his wife did was grin.
Avtexia’s attitude is really strange. The aura that radiated was exactly like when he was angry. Did something trigger it? I have to be alert because this means her anger could explode at any time, thought Lord Helion, who did not take his eyes off his beloved wife.
“That is a brilliant choice, husband. Let me open the door now.” A woman who could manipulate thoughts raised her right hand, then moved like swiping at the door and the object as soon as possible opened wide. On the other hand, Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover was shocked because she heard a quite loud sound, and it turned out that it came from her bedroom door.
“Who did that? Did Mom and Dad come here?” Atvertha muttered softly.
The virgin goddess almost cursed, seeing the presence of two familiar figures, and was forced to remain silent so as not to cause trouble. Damn it! It turns out my guess was right! Why are they even here, huh? Did Mom come here on purpose to remind me of the same thing, namely marrying Toghnath? Atvertha could only guess alone while looking at the same area.
“Ah, apparently, our precious daughter has woken up, Husband.” The woman who had tortured Atvertha began to smile mockingly as if to see the young lady’s reaction. However, Goddess Avtexia was disappointed because the Moon Goddess’s expression remained the same as usual, so she did not know whether her words had an impact on the interlocutor.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“What a great luck that you are already awake.” The Ruler of the Seas approached his daughter and then saw that the violet-eyed woman was holding a roll of parchment, and when he turned his attention to the table near the girl, he also saw several books wide open.
“She is even studied. She is so diligent. I hope what you did was not just an image because we have chosen Toghnath as your mate. We will not change that decision.” Goddess Avtexia openly insulted Atvertha, but Lord Helion glanced at his wife so the woman did not continue the same thing.
“Atvertha. Forget that shitty mortal. We do not want you to forget your nature as an immortal goddess. If you want to choose another guy and he still comes from among us, then tell me his name and his title. It is for the sake of your own future.” As a father, Lord Helion felt the need to advise his daughter, but the girl felt heartache because she only liked men who had been insulted by her father.
When Atvertha wanted to refuse, Havento’s words suddenly came back to her mind, which made her abandon her intention. A woman with long, silver hair was silent for a long time, even though she realised that the gazes of her parents were on her as if waiting for her response.
I hate to follow Nyx’s eldest brother’s advice, but right now, there is no other choice for me. Luckily, when they came, I had found what I was looking for, thought Atvertha, who was trying to remain calm.
“Dad, when will I marry Toghnath?”
Atvertha’s question made a husband and wife wide-eyed. They looked at each other as if they could not believe the words that came out of the girl’s lips. Lord Helion looked gently at his interlocutor and was grateful that he was willing to accept the match. “You two will get married when-”
