The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Somewhere in the palace of Lord Helion,

“Thank you, Nyx,” said a silver-haired girl.

A young goddess felt relieved because she had returned to her own room. Meanwhile, another woman was wearing a dark, blue-black dress like the night, filled with sparkling light, feeling surprised. As soon as possible, the guest shook her head so as not to justify the statement.

“Why do you say like that? I did nothing to you,” objected a woman with a sinister aura.

A woman who lived in the underworld seemed relaxed and did not want to be thought of as having done extraordinary things, thus making the other person say thank you to her. Meanwhile, the virgin goddess deliberately glared at her close friend. However, the Night Goddess responded indifferently.

“Anyway, I keep saying that, even though you had done stupid things that made me angry. Do not do it again because it was making me shocked.”

“It was not a big deal, Darling. What I have done in my secret place was all for you, precisely for your own good. I never told you that it would be easy at all. Face your fear because it will help you to grow more. Maybe your mom has not given you things like I did, with various considerations, but I would not want to wait that long. Sooner or later, you must go through it all.”

“Still, you can’t act as you please! That was just as detrimental to me!”

“No, you were not. You instead listen to the content of the male mortal’s prayer delivered by the Lord Magthant.”

“You!”

Atvertha did not finish the sentence because what the other person said was true. Meanwhile, that white-eyed woman laughed lightly. She seemed to have no objection to the statement from the Upper-world Goddess, so the two immortal goddesses laughed together as if they had heard something funny. After being satisfied with doing so, that guest was silent for a long time, turning her face to the right. The owner of the room, who realized the moment, became confused because there were only them.

“What is it?” asked Atvertha, curious.

The younger sister of the Underworld Ruler, Lord Havento, still did not answer. The woman seemed to get a message from someone whose form was invisible, so Nyx just stayed silent and nodded. Her face even looked very serious, so Atvertha did not dare to ask further and decided to wait for an answer from her best friend.

“Atvertha, I have to go now. We will meet again.”

After saying that, the body of the woman who hated sunlight disappeared from view, leaving the violet-eyed girl still waiting for her answer. That young lady could only watch it all with a blank stare. “She is gone, and I have gotten no answers yet,” Atvertha muttered.

A girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, looked around. The atmosphere in her room was so quiet because there were no friends to have a conversation with.

“I know little about Nyx’s power yet, but she is already gone. If it is like this, is it necessary to find out for yourself?” said Atvertha quietly.

Just as she said like that, there was already a knock on the door, so the smart goddess turned her attention to that object. As soon as possible, she immediately frowned because she felt strange about this situation.

“Who is that?” asked Atvertha, both curious and wary.

“Atvertha, it is me. Why do not you want to leave your room?” answered someone behind the door. She also asked a new question.

The wife of Lord Helion could not hide her anger. Meanwhile, beside that beautiful woman stood her beloved husband, who was curious and confused by Atvertha’s strange attitude because it looked unnatural. The girl’s expression changed, knowing who was talking to her.

“I am okay, Mom. I just want to study alone here. May I help you?”

Why did Mom even suddenly come here now, huh? This situation makes me suspicious if in this place something must have happened while I was with Nyx in her secret place. Let me hear her answer; then I can decide what answer to give Mom, thought a virgin who was already a two hundred-and-seventy-year-old.

“Get out of from your room right now, Atvertha! Why do you still feel like you want to stay there forever? What happened to you?”

Goddess Avtexia began to urge her only daughter to leave her room. However, a young lady who was in love with a mortal guy already had a strange feeling, so she subconsciously shook her head, even though her mother did not see such action.

“I prefer to stay in my own room, Mom. Are we going to learn a new subject, so do we have to leave the room immediately? If so, then I will go to the library now.” Goddess Atvertha said in a polite tone of voice in order to avoid misunderstanding with her parents, especially with her teacher, who was also her biological mother.

The Sun Goddess now turned to her husband with a look of disbelief. The answer from their only daughter was so shocking to her heart as a mother, Avtexia increasingly felt a big awkwardness that could no longer be covered up. Meanwhile, a man holding the trident nodded to his wife as if thinking the same thing with his spouse.

“She is just getting weirder. Could it be that Nyx has brainwashed our daughter, Hubby?” asked Goddess Avtexia quietly.

“There is no way that would happen, honey. Why did she have to do this? We do not have any problems with the Night Goddess or her family,” replied God Helion, who expressed his point of view. However, the interlocutor shook her head as she rejected the idea her husband had just been given.

“Who knew that Nyx had indeed taught Atvertha to fight our will because she did not want our princess to be more powerful than herself?” guessed the woman who hated the darkness.

“I believe all of that happened because Atvertha’s mood was not good. I was thinking… could she be sick of meeting Toghnath?”

A man who ruled for all of the seas suddenly remembered a young man who liked to come to their palace. The memory of his daughter meeting with that guy flashed back into his mind, so the most logical thing was why did the wallflower goddess acted like this. She just wanted to avoid the opposite sex, who came from the immortal god.

After hearing her husband’s allegations, Goddess Avtexia fell silent. She turned her gaze towards the door, to which there was no reaction from within. Meanwhile, a girl who had received unusual teaching from her close friend seemed not to care about her parents and walked towards the mirror, which was located not far from the cupboard.

“Mom and Dad must be surprised because I refused to leave the room when they asked me, but I did not care,” said Atvertha softly.

When she arrived at her destination, a girl with thin eyebrows looked at the mirror carefully. Suddenly, the image of the man she admired immediately appeared there. In fact, the shadow of the opposite sex smiled at her, so Atvertha was stunned, then shook her head twice as if to convince herself that what she saw was not real.

“Oh my… what is wrong with me?”

The girl who would become the Queen of Witches rubbed her eyes with both hands. Atvertha looked back at the original object, and the result was the same, so the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia couple could not do much.

When she was about to leave, Atvertha was reminded of the night when another girl approached that handsome male mortal, so that moment hurt her.

“I have heard his prayers, but that was not enough. What if he turns out to be lying? Mom once said that humans really like to cheat; even in their prayers, they do the same thing.”

“What if I-”
