The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a particular room belonging to the Lord of the Seas,

A man wearing a crown on his head was stunned when he saw the appearance of the immortal goddess who was standing right in front of him and did not think that his only daughter had changed so much from before. Meanwhile, the white-eyed girl tried to smile to reduce the awkwardness, and she succeeded in doing so.

The atmosphere in a particular place that could only be entered by the owner or those who have special permission from Lord Helion is not too quiet because the sound of the waves crashing and the clear view of the beach entertained Atvertha. No one had started a conversation yet, so Goddess Avtexia’s husband took the initiative to do it first. “How are you, Princess?”

“My condition is not very good, but I am pleased to meet you. How about you? How are you, Dad?” The black-haired girl asked the person she was talking to. However, a man who was carrying the trident was surprised by the virgin’s first sentence, so he was interested in asking Atvertha further.

“I am great. Why do you say that your condition is not very good, but you are pleased? What happened to you?” Lord Helion answered the question of the girl who was temporarily living in the Underworld. The four hundred-and-forty-year-old man did not yet know that Atvertha was still in a relationship with her mortal male.

“I am pleased because most of the seals have been released so that I can use the spell smoothly. Besides that, I am happy to know you are in great condition, Dad.” The brilliant goddess smiled happily, so the palace owner’s suspicions increased. Atvertha smiled again; this time, Lord Helion felt the sincerity of the girl’s smile.

“Are you sure that was all that made you happy? Was there nothing else?” Lord Helion did not just believe what Atvertha was saying, so as a father, he wanted to get more information in order to get an honest and reasonable answer.

“There is another reason, Dad. I do not know whether this answer fits my situation or is more appropriate as additional information could be included in one of the answers to Dad’s two questions at that time.” A young lady with a sharp nose did not want to answer, so Lord Helion remembered what he had conditioned Atvertha.

“Have you managed to get the answers to the two questions at that time? If you already have them, then you can answer them.” The silver-haired man was ready for all the words the opposite sex would say. Atvertha did feel nervous, but she tried to hide it.

“Before answering Dad’s question, I want to tell you a little about how I met Armen with my new look.” Lord Helion was stunned, but he just nodded as if permitting his daughter to continue speaking. Atvertha felt a little relieved, but nervousness still plagued her.

“At first, I thought Armen would be disgusted or even end our relationship, but it turns out he accepted my condition as it is. My mortal guy still wanted to get married and did not want to back down at all.” A man who rarely got angry was even more shocked. Lord Helion did not expect his daughter’s lover to maintain his love for Atvertha.

“I… I almost thought that we would separate, but surprisingly, Armen still chose to be together. He even wanted to meet Dad to get to know each other in person.” Lord Helion was increasingly impressed with the character of Lebrazht Lugthna’s eldest son, even though that guy was famous for being immoral and liked to kill.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“That moment made me think a lot, especially about marriage. Men definitely love a woman because of her beauty, but few of them are willing to accept the girl’s condition when her physical appearance has changed. I thought, if I was a mortal woman, then I got problems like this or even bigger, then I would kill myself.”

The woman who just fell in love with a mortal guy fell silent, then tried to calm herself. The sound of the waves crashing could still be heard, and the wind hit her body so that this moment made the girl feel a little calmer. “I was very shocked by this change in my look because this appearance looked terrible, and it has never happened to immortals. Apart from that, this image killed my confidence. I know there is an immortal god who fell in love with me, but I do not want any god. I only want Armen in my life.”

“A marriage to me is the union of a man and a woman. They have their own shortcomings, but must have respect for their spouse, including not forcing or shouting at each other.” Lord Helion remembered his wife’s behavior as soon as possible because she liked to impose her will on him, but he was always patient and gave in.

“A happy and healthy marriage for me is when I and my partner are still together in all circumstances, but there is no violence in it. A man I love so much can accept me the way I am, and so do I. I am not married yet, but from this incident, even though I was sad about my messy appearance, Armen actually hugged me tightly and expressed his willingness to marry me.” Atvertha answered two questions which were the conditions for getting the blessing, as well as opening the seal.

The dark brown-eyed man was silent for a long time. Meanwhile, a woman who already had five large dogs as her pet companions was waiting for the reaction from a god she was talking to while hoping that her father would accept all the answers so that she and her lover could be together forever. “If I am willing to forgive and bless your marriage, then how can you and him can live together? You are a goddess, and he is a mortal. You two are different. Do you have an idea or solution for that?”

Without further ado, the intelligent girl remembered all the suggestions put forward by the Lord of the Underworld. Atvertha was grateful because she did not forget this important thing and could immediately convey it to Lord Helion. “I already have a solution to our problem, and I need your help for this matter, Dad.”

Lord Helion frowned. “What is that? Tell me your idea, and I will consider it.”

“I am thinking about turning Atvertha into an immortal god, but without the path of death. If Armen dies, then his spirit will go to the Underworld and experience the same thing as mortal spirits in general. I need your help to make my man the same as us, Dad.”

A man who had a height of one hundred and ninety-seven centimeters tall was stunned, but he was interested in the idea put forward by his princess. “I have never turned a mortal guy into an immortal god like us. I know there is a spell and ritual that can, but the consequences are still there, and you do not necessarily want it, Atvertha.”

“What are the consequences, Dad? I want to listen. Who knows, maybe I can find the best way for this later.” The slender girl tried to remain calm and was wondering what the risks would be if Armen were turned into an immortal god.

“There are several possibilities that could happen: first, Armen could turn into a merman. A merman is a magical creature like a man, but from the waist down, he has fins. This situation does not happen every day, only at certain times, such as when the full moon arrives. In the morning, he will be back to normal and can live with you again. Second, you and your man have to help me in any way. Your task is limited, but things are different for that guy because I am the one who turned him into an immortal god. The last you can’t prevent it is I can enter your realm because your future husband has a water element, which means I help you too to make that place. You can think about it and tell me about your decision .” Lord Helion gave Atvertha time, and the man deliberately remained silent.

How about this? I could not possibly make Armen remain a mortal because we would not be able to be together. Dad even wants to help create my realm. It is an excellent opportunity. I will try to negotiate, thought Atvertha, who still did not react to the god she was talking to because she was weighing the good and bad of the options given.

“Dad, if Armen helps you, what if he is attracted to a mermaid? I do not want my husband to be glanced at by another girl.” For some reason, the virgin goddess’ lips uttered such a sentence, so Lord Helion laughed.

“Atvertha. He will not experience that because I am looking after him. Apart from that, as the Moon Goddess, you are in charge of making the tides that occur on Earth so that you, I, and Earth, where Armen comes from, remain connected. If you agree, you will return to your original form and can change into whatever form you want without any interference.” A man who could make heavy rain accompanied by strong winds explained to his only daughter so the girl could understand.

“If I agree with those conditions, I want to know something. Will Dad give my future husband a new name as an immortal god? There is no way he will still use his old name, right?” The thin-browed girl asked again, and the Lord of the Seas nodded confidently.

“Of course, I will change his current name, Atvertha. The names of immortal gods and goddesses cannot be as simple as mortal names. They have special characteristics and meanings, including the duties and responsibilities they will carry out.” The four hundred-and-forty-year-old man tried to appease the opposite sex, and the action was successful.

“If you have agreed to everything I asked, then kneel now in front of me, Atvertha.”
