The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few moments later,

A man wearing a crown was seen sitting on a throne. In his left, there was a chair occupied by a silver-haired immortal goddess. They were looking at Lebrazht Lugthna’s family, who were standing not far from them, carrying the items he had asked for as an offering. The atmosphere there became quiet, and this made the head of the Lugthna family anxious because the caste differences between his family and the Lord of the Seas with his beloved daughter were apparent.

“I am giving you the opportunity to speak first, Lebrazht. You can introduce yourself first and also tell me anything you need to say to me, especially regarding the relationship between Armen and Goddess Atvertha.” Lord Helion allowed the guest to open the conversation so that Norah Bitnantzh’s husband’s tension was slightly relieved. He tried to reduce the stress by nodding.

“First of all, I am grateful for the opportunity Lord Helion has given us and for inviting us here. My name is Lebrazht, and on behalf of the eldest son named Armen Faustus Lugthna, I request permission to propose to Your Highness’ only daughter, Goddess Atvertha, to be his wife.” A man who still served as Chief of the Agbazarth Tribe said politely while looking at his son and the Moon Goddess.

“Do you know how Goddess Atvertha met your son?” Lord Helion started asking a question, which relieved the hazel-eyed man because he knew the answer. It happened when he asked Armen the same question.

“Yes, Lord Helion. My wife and I know about it. My son was able to meet the Goddess Atvertha because at that moment, Armen was injured, and the Moon Goddess saved his life.” The fifty-four-year-old man answered firmly so that the other person nodded.

“Have you ever disagreed with their relationship? Be honest.” The man carrying the trident in his right hand deliberately asked this because he wanted to hear a direct confession from that mortal man who had been cursed to become a half-werewolf.

“To be honest, at first I disagree, because I knew the difference in status between our son and Goddess Atvertha.” Lebrazht answered honestly, and this moment did not surprise Lord Helion. He seemed to nod and was not offended by Armen’s father’s honesty. Meanwhile, Armen and his beloved lady looked at each other longingly. They looked like they could not wait to make their relationship official as soon as possible.

“What made you change your mind and want to approve of your son and my daughter’s relationship?”

“I saw the firm determination that Armen and Goddess Atvertha have. They love each other and really want to live together as husband and wife.”

The atmosphere became silent because the palace owner had not commented or asked the person he was talking to. Lebrazht, Norah, and Armen were waiting for what would happen, and they did not dare to say anything to Lord Helion yet. Goddess Atvertha turned to her father, and that girl was confused about what he was going to do. Second after second, it felt tense for the mortal family because that immortal god just remained silent, making the three of them very confused and not knowing what to do. A brown-eyed man instead turned his attention to the young man his daughter had chosen.

“Armen.” Lord Helion’s voice sounded so authoritative, which made the owner of the name nod spontaneously.

“Yes, Lord Helion.” That burly young guy answered. He seemed like he did not want to miss the opportunity and hoped that his father’s proposal would be accepted by his future son-in-law. At the same time, Armen’s parents could only pray in their hearts so that there would not be a fatal misunderstanding between their son and the Lord of the Seas.

“Do you really love Atvertha?” A man who had lived for four hundred and forty years asked that mortal guy seriously because he did not want his only beloved princess to be handed over to a random man.

“I seriously love Atvertha, Lord Helion,” Armen answered with complete confidence. The virgin goddess was touched by her lover’s words, but she could not show her feelings directly. Meanwhile, Lebrazht and Norah continued to pray for their eldest son in their hearts because they could not possibly back down when they arrived at the palace.

“If one day you hurt Atvertha or have an affair with another woman, what punishment is suitable for you? You must think carefully because your parents are here.” The immortal god who could create big winds and storms deliberately asked provocative questions because he wanted to test how serious that mortal guy was about his beloved princess.

“Whatever punishment you determine for me I will accept it all well and without arguing at all.” Armen answered so firmly that both his parents and Atvertha widened their eyes without further ado. They seemed not to believe this statement. However, things were different for Lord Helion. The man who always carried a trident stared at that mortal male without blinking.

“Okay. I agree with your words. Goddess Atvertha, your mom and dad are witnesses, and you will definitely agree to whatever punishment I give to you if something bad like betrayal happens. I hope you do not do that stupidity. Besides that, you are still a human being. My princess is an immortal like me. What should you do to make you the same as us?” The Lord of the Seas, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-seven centimeters, took everything into account, including deliberately asking many questions that sounded difficult for ordinary people to answer.

Suddenly, the green-eyed young man remembered the conversation he had with Atvertha, so he knew what to say to the other person. “If Lord Helion is willing, you can turn me into an immortal god. I can help with anything and I am willing to learn.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“If you could be transformed into the same as us, then what would be your duties and obligations? You must know that there are many gods and goddesses in this world, including those known to your kind. No creature is free to do anything once they reach the highest position. They have to work for the people, in this case the mortals. Can you choose one or two duties and responsibilities as an immortal god? If you can, then I will consider it.” Lord Helion deliberately ignored his daughter’s protesting gaze because he wanted to see his future son-in-law’s initiative. Lebrazht and Norah are also worried because Goddess Avtexia’s husband kept asking, but there was no confirmation that their proposal had been accepted.

“I can help my lady with anything. If she needs help, such as receiving guests or arranging her pet companion’s duties or giving instructions to the High Priest about what statue to make to represent Atvertha, then I will do it. If Lord Helion asks for my help to watch over the sea at night, when you are busy or unable to visit the palace, then I am ready to carry it out, as long as it does not conflict with the main task in her realm.” The intelligent guy was determined to lighten the burden on his lovely girl, according to the promise he made to the Queen of Witches.

The palace owner’s smile immediately appeared. A man who could create a storm seemed satisfied with the answer from that mortal male. Meanwhile, Armen and his parents were not yet relieved because they were still waiting for a decision from the Lord of the Seas. Suddenly, Lord Helion stood up and raised his trident towards Chief Agbazarth and his son. “I, Lord Helion, hereby declare that I accept Lebrazht Lugthna’s proposal, in which his son, Armen Faustus Lugthna, wants to make my daughter, Goddess Atvertha, as his wife. If he later betrays or is proven to have committed adultery, then severe punishment awaits according to the agreement.”

The items placed in the basket flew by themselves, and they all came to the top of the throne, precisely stopping at the left foot of the Moon Goddess. The violet-eyed woman almost screamed because she could not help but feel happy. However, Atvertha was forced to suppress her feelings of joy because her lover’s parents were still in the same place as her.

Lebrazht, Norah, and Armen were very surprised. They did not know what to do because their hope had become a reality. Now, Lord Helion pointed his trident at the green-eyed guy. That mortal male immediately knelt down for unknown reason, then bowed his head as if surrendering to the god. “Starting today, I officially declare Armen to be my daughter’s future husband. You have become a semi-immortal god because you have not carried out duties like us. When you legally marry Atvertha, I will change your name and fully make you an immortal god.”

The young man’s parents also knelt without any pressure. “Thank you, Lord Helion. Thank you for accepting our proposal.”

“You are welcome. Stand up.” That immortal god finished brandishing his trident and then turned to his beloved princess. A young lady with thin eyebrows smiled meaningfully, and Lord Helion responded with the same action. The Lebrazht family had stood up, and they saw the gazes of the two immortals now turned towards them.

“Lebrazht, I have decided that Atvertha and Armen must get married first. When the event is finished, a ceremony will be held for your appointment as a Lycan King.” Lord Helion spoke seriously, so a question arose in the person he was talking to, and he dared to ask.

“Excuse me, Lord Helion. If I may ask, when is Armen and Atvertha’s wedding? Approximately how long is the estimated distance between their wedding day and my coronation? I apologize if these two questions seem impolite.” The hazel-eyed man continued politely, expressing all his hidden desires to avoid offending Armen’s future father-in-law.

“It is okay. The wedding ceremony, including the oath of allegiance that must be taken by the bride and groom, will be held on-”
