The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a room located in Lord Helion’s palace,

A beautiful girl looked at herself in front of the mirror without blinking at all. The memory of a male mortal popped up in her mind. Moreover, the scene of them kissing was always imaginable, so that the Moon Goddess’s two smooth cheeks turned red. Without her realizing it, there was already someone’s shadow in that spot, but she chose to remain silent while watching Atvertha’s actions carefully.

“I can’t believe that finally I have a mate,” Atvertha muttered softly.

“Ow, really? It is interesting because you say it to me. Who is he, by the way?”

That voice was able to interrupt Atvertha’s reverie, so the young lady started looking around in all directions. There was a sound of chuckling, so the violet-eyed girl became flustered. Before the owner of the room opened her mouth to ask, the same voice said to her, “Why are you looking elsewhere? I am here.”

The girl who had a facial resemblance to her mother – Goddess Avtexia, suddenly looked back at the mirror. A woman with long black hair was already crossing her arms over her chest.

“Damn! I do not realized that it turns out the voice was yours, Nyx. I thought, who the hell a goddess was talking to me!” Atvertha grumbled, but this was ignored by the other person. A sister of Lord Havento still had a straight face as if nothing had happened.

“You have not answered my question, Atvertha.” Nyx did not smile. Even her face looked very serious.

“Which question?” Atvertha looked confused because she felt that her close friend did not ask her anything.

“Love has made you stupid. I can see that. You said earlier, ‘finally, I have a mate’. Now, tell me, who is he? Does he come from among the immortal gods or even a male mortal? How long have you known each other? Did you know about his family background? How about your parents? Did they know about him, your beloved mate?” The Night Goddess asked a merciless barrage of questions, which overwhelmed Atvertha in dealing with it.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Are you crazy? Why instead ask so many questions without stopping? I am so confused because I do not know where to answer!” Atvertha protested the sudden appearance of the guest, even though Nyx was physically still in the mirror.

“It is up to you where to start. I just want a definite answer, because I want nothing bad to happen to you.” The white-eyed woman emphasized the last sentence, so her attitude surprised Atvertha.

“Ah, for that matter….” The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia did not finish speaking. She already knew that the interlocutor really did not like a male mortal and was not ready for Nyx’s reaction.

“Why did you even stop talking? Could it be that you’re afraid to tell me the truth?” Nyx asked, calm.

The Underworld Goddess seemed to be luring Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover, so she wanted to answer all of her questions. That pale-faced girl watched Nyx suspiciously but did not dare to say it directly. The atmosphere became awkward because the host remained silent to that uninvited guest.

A sinister grin appeared on Nyx’s lips. The thin-browed girl realized the moment. However, she persisted in silent action and kept staring at her best friend without blinking at all. “If I can judge from your attitude, I can guess who your mate is. If I tell you about him, you will not admit it.”

“Are you ready to tell the truth, or should I open up openly? Do not forget, I never sugar-coated my words. So, whether you like my words or not, I will keep telling you the truth.” Nyx started urging Atvertha, even though the tone of voice used had not changed.

“What do you mean?”

“Your current question just now is a part of your denial, Atvertha.”

A sinister black aura began to envelop the body of the goddess, who hated sunlight. Unknowingly, the Queen of Witches reflexively took two steps backwards so she did not get too close to the mirror. Nyx, who was watching Atvertha’s behaviour, could not hide her joy because from this movement, it meant that the target was starting to feel intimidated.

“Why do you even want to go? Are you afraid of me? asked Nyx, who was still grinning.

“Nyx, it is not funny!” Atvertha deliberately gave affirmation to the interlocutor without answering the question.

A virgin who dislikes coquettish men remained standing where she was before and did not want to get closer to the mirror. This action was taken as if Atvertha was on guard, as if something strange had happened. Afterwards, as soon as possible, she could take the necessary action. That girl also did not want to answer the questions that Nyx had given her earlier, even though this could be done without further ado.

“Since when did I like to joke? I knew you were already afraid of me. As you can see, I did nothing bad to you. Your fear came from inside and not outside.” Nyx said all of that calmly. However, Atvertha remained reluctant to approach the Night Goddess.

“That mortal male must have done something to you to make you like this. It is better you become my brother’s mate than the bloody mortal. I am willing if you become my sister-in-law. I can teach you anything about the underworld, Atvertha.”

It shocked the wallflower girl when she heard that statement. Atvertha seemed unable to believe what she had just heard. “What? Have you lost your mind? Your brother is very scary and when we first met, there was no attraction between us, so say nothing weird to me!”

“I can make him change his mind. Havento suits you perfectly. He can teach you anything and if you already become his wife, no god or goddess will dare to interfere. Besides that, He is a loyal guy. I will tell him that finally, I find a suitable candidate to be his wife.”

The Crossroads Lady is increasingly convinced that something is wrong with Nyx. She shook her head because she remembered her man, who lived on earth and indeed came from there. Meanwhile, Nyx seemed like she did not want to give up easily, so this was clearly visible on her face, and making Atvertha even more vigilant.

“No! That is the most insane idea I have ever heard!”

“I deliberately offer a golden opportunity, because Havento is basically good, even though sometimes my brother can be very annoying. I can assure you he is a good guy and has a material husband. He is handsome and the best choice for you.”

The girl with thin eyebrows took two steps back because she was getting uncomfortable with the conversation that was going on between them. Meanwhile, a woman wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like night and filled with sparkling light, was still observing Atvertha’s movements. A dense, black aura was increasingly coming out of her body, which made Nyx’s aura even scarier.

“Stop promoting your eldest brother, because I was never interested in him. He can find another goddess and she would not be me!”

“Do not immediately reject him before getting to know him first. Havento is the right choice and you can live in the underworld like our family, although still in different areas of power. You can visit me every day.”

“Stop it! You make me scared!”

“My offer is still valid, Atvertha. You can try to spend time with my brother, so you will find out more about his character. Both of you are suitable for each other and you two can be a great couple.”

“You talk like a matchmaker. If you want an immortal goddess as his mate, then it is definitely not me. Go where you come from and do not bother me if you are still like this!”

A woman who lived in the underworld only smiled eerily, and then the Night Goddess’s image in the mirror immediately disappeared. Atvertha exhaled heavily, then stared at the empty glass, as if nothing had ever happened there.

“What happened to her? Because I did not get it. Why did she propose to have her eldest brother for me? Had something happened to my close friend, but I did not realize it? Nyx’s attitude was strange, like another goddess I had never known before. I have to find out.”
