The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Chapter 104. Why Did You Sacrifice Yourself?



In the Underworld,

“Havento, I want to ask something, but you must promise not to be angry.”

The name’s owner, who was drinking red wine, as soon as possible, glanced at another seat, specifically at the area where the guest was. Havento had not answered this question and was continuing with postponed activities. Meanwhile, a pale white youth continued to stare at the target as if, without further ado, he wanted to express his thoughts to older brother Nyx.

When a man wearing all black had finished drinking the wine, he said to the God of Communication, “From the way you speak and your words, you definitely want to ask something personal. I do not like it when immortal gods or goddesses interfere in my business.”

Hertinoz was not offended, but instead, he laughed a little, so this reaction made a man who ruled the Underworld confused and annoyed at the same time. Havento remained as cool as he always showed, as if his friend’s attitude did not bother him at all. “I am not an immortal god who is a stranger to you. It is useless for you to keep something secret because your attitude explains something different.”

“What do you want to talk about? I am not too fond of small talk like this. Why do you not just think about how to get into my place without any obstacles? You proposed to Atvertha yourself that she would give you a blessing after we finish helping that girl to get her mate. In my opinion, what you are proposing is the wrong choice.” Havento tried to change the direction of their conversation so that the curly-haired man smiled broadly as if he had won a match.

“Great! Since you mentioned the Moon Goddess’s name in the first place, I will not hesitate anymore. Why did you sacrifice yourself?” asked Hertinoz, smiling broadly.

“What do you mean? I did not sacrifice anything,” answered Havento, who did not understand what the question meant, so he asked the other person another question.

“I know that you like Goddess Atvertha, but you try to cover it up. Why do you not just be honest with her? You are better than her mortal male. Marrying her will calm your heart.” Hertinoz did not despair because that young man knew that his friend harbored feelings for the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, but he was reluctant to admit it.

A man who had been sitting on the throne had not yet commented. Instead, he drank the red wine that was still half in the gold cup. The situation between the two immortal gods became a little awkward because they paused the conversation that had been created. After all, the host was doing other things. However, Hertinoz never gave up because he wanted to get a definite answer and also satisfy his curiosity.

Why did Hertinoz ask the same question as Nyx? Did my attitude become strange when dealing with Atvertha so that they came to conclusions like that? I did not hate my sister’s friend, and to be honest, she was not my type, but for some unknown reason, lately, I felt something was different about that girl. Damn! Is everything that has happened in my life a sign to look for an immortal goddess and make her my wife? Thought Havento, confused with himself. He could not forget the silver-haired girl.

“Brother, you can deny your feelings for Goddess Atvertha, but you cannot deceive yourself and me.” A guy who was the same age as the Lord of the Underworld seemed to deliberately say those words, which succeeded in making Havento stare at him sharply.

Havento deliberately stopped drinking red wine. “I do not need to explain anything, and you just assume.” The man with a scary aura was not affected by Hertinoz’s provocative words, and that young man actually laughed out loud.

“Okay, if you continue to argue, Brother. I know that you really love Goddess Atvertha, and that was clear from your actions when we were in her room.” Hertinoz kept provoking his friend, to tell the truth. However, a man who rarely smiled seemed unaffected by the annoying chatter.

“If you like Atvertha, then go ahead and approach her.” That was all Havento said. The stiff man placed the cup in the air so that the object floated by itself.

“You are really stubborn, Havento. Before that girl casts the Ask Your Fellow Immortal Spell, your chances of being with her were huge. You two could be a great couple.”

“Hertinoz, if you want to pry into my personal problems, then you have made a mistake. I am not interested in seizing an immortal goddess who already has a lover, even if that man comes from the mortal race. This applies to all women from the same class as us.”

A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-eight centimeters tall, as soon as possible fell silent after hearing the confirmation from the person he was talking to. He frowned because he did not understand his close friend’s mindset. Meanwhile, the first son of the couple, God Hetzh the Ruler of the Darkness, and Goddess Aymenth the Ruler of Sadness, still showed no change in attitude, including facial expressions. The atmosphere in the room was quiet again.

A guy who did not like being denied his words began to turn his attention to the right and then saw two plates floating in the air. These two objects seemed to be held by an invisible creature. With few words, Havento pointed at Hertinoz and himself. One plate flies toward the guest and stops to the right of the guest, and the other plate remains near the host.

“Eat it. I did not poison you.” Havento invited Hertinoz to enjoy the meal, but the green-eyed man was still not satisfied because he had yet to receive an answer that suited his wishes and did not satisfy his curiosity.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

“Are you sure you want to just let Goddess Atvertha go? She would make a great wife and partner.”

“You are so weird. Atvertha was not my lover, so why should I feel lost? Do not be silly.”

Hertinoz could only shake his head three times, then turned to the right. A plate of food was floating there, and it seemed to be waiting for him. Before taking it, the charming man turned to Havento, who was observing him and had yet to eat his food. “Thanks, Brother.”

“You are welcome.” Havento watched Hertinoz, who started eating the dish. The situation in that place returned to silence because the two young men were no longer talking. In less than a minute, a cup appeared to fly towards the guest and stopped in the same area as the plate being held by the pale-skinned man.

The man, who had a height of two meters, suddenly remembered a beautiful girl whose name his friend had mentioned earlier. A strange feeling arose in the man’s heart when he remembered the beautiful face of the Upper World Goddess. However, Havento tried hard to get rid of the strange feeling that was present, even though he did not know why this happened to him.

What happened to me? Am I really in love with Atvertha? It is impossible. That girl is the daughter of Goddess Avtexia, who does not like our family and vice versa. I do not know why Nyx is able to hang out with Atvertha and be friends with her. Hopefully, my decision to enter into an agreement with her was an excellent decision. I do not want to disturb anyone’s relationship, Havento thought as he reached back for a cup filled with red wine that was floating to his left.
