Chapter 162. A Small Gift
One week later,
A silver-haired girl was seen sitting in a chair, and two female servants helped her do her makeup and nails. I can’t wait to marry Armen. Dad said one week was more than enough to prepare everything related to my wedding day. Hopefully, today’s event will go smoothly, hoped the Moon Goddess while looking at her own reflection in the mirror.
Lebrazht Lugthna and Norah Bitnantzh’s future daughter-in-law wore a white wedding dress and a beautiful tiara that added to her natural beauty. How many guests will attend my wedding, huh? Hopefully, there will be no interference at all, especially from Toghnath. He was suspicious because the crazy man seemed to have disappeared into the Earth. That playboy god must have planned something, but it is hard to get more information because Hertinoz said that no one knew where he had been hiding, Atvertha thought suspiciously.
Just as the virgin had finished thinking this, suddenly, there was a knock on the door. This situation diverted the immortal goddess’s attention there. “Who is that?” asked the two-hundred and seventy-year-old woman.
“It is me,” answered the voice from behind the door.
The silver-haired woman seemed to know already who was coming, so she no longer hesitated. “Come in, Dad!”
The door opened by itself in less than a minute, and a tall man entered the room. As soon as possible, the two ladies in waiting there paid their respects to the Lord of the Seas. Lord Helion nodded, and then they went back to work. Meanwhile, Armen Faustus Lugthna’s future wife was just observing and had not said anything to her beloved father. “Are you ready, Princess?” asked Goddess Avtexia’s husband while paying attention to his only daughter, who was still sitting in the chair.
“I do not know yet, Dad. Maybe one of the ladies can give me an answer,” answered the pretty goddess. Atvertha saw one of the two girls who had been helping her change clothes and put on makeup.
“Pardon, my Lord. We have finished putting on Goddess Atvertha’s makeup, we just need to put on her jewellery.” One of the girls answered respectfully. A black-haired girl seemed to know something, but the Moon Goddess did not know what it was.
“Okay. Just do it. I can wait.” A man with a silver beard began to fall silent as he watched the two ladies-in-waiting return to helping Atvertha. However, the Crossroads Lady felt nervous, so in the midst of her anxiety, that immortal goddess actually got a new idea, so her curiosity about this matter grew even more prominent.
“Dad, may I ask you something?” The violet-eyed woman began to ask a question, which resulted from a sudden idea that appeared in her mind.
“Yes, you may ask me.” The man wearing a crown on his head agreed to the beloved princess’ request.
“Why do Armen and I need to make wedding vows? Whereas Nyx and her husband have never done that.” A thin-browed girl expressed what was of concern to her so that the person she was talking to was stunned. Without further ado, Lord Helion understood what Atvertha meant, and he looked normal.
“Nyx and Lord Toretz did not need to do that, because they came from the same race, immortals. You and Armen still come from different circles, even though he is already half immortal. After taking the oath of allegiance to you, I will change it to a full-time god along with a new name that I have prepared.” Lord Helion seemed to have prepared everything carefully, which made the virgin goddess feel relieved.
“Do we need to come to Earth after the wedding vows are said? Or is that all unnecessary? Sorry if I ask a lot of questions, Dad.” The two-hundred and seventy-year-old woman felt embarrassed, but her father shook his head.
“Do not be like that. You and Armen can stop by for a while on Earth, or you can stay here, but all the tribe members, including the wolves in Tatkhion, can see your faces. Do not forget to tell them that starting today, Armen’s name has changed.” A man who always carried a trident in his right hand gave Atvertha directions so that the virgin understood.
“Thank you, Dad.” The girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres, was grateful because her father was willing to accept her mortal guy as part of her life. When the man who could make heavy rain and the wind was about to say something, the two ladies-in-waiting who had been assigned to help Atvertha finished carrying out their duties, and Lord Helion discovered this situation.
“You two can wait at the front.” Lord Helion said to the two ladies-in-waiting.
“Yes, my Lord.” The two girls said at the same time, then paid their respects to the father and daughter and quickly left the place. The atmosphere there became silent, so Lord Helion moved his trident to his left hand, leaving his right palm empty. Atvertha watched what the other person wanted to do.NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Lord Helion clenched his right palm into a fist, then held it still for ten seconds. When that man opened his palm again, there was already a black pearl necklace. A young lady with a sharp nose was immediately stunned because she had never seen her father carry something like that. The Lord of the Seas on Earth approached her only daughter and then put this beautiful object around Atvertha’s neck.
The slender girl looked at her reflection in the mirror when it was finished. “I made that necklace for you. It is a black pearl, and it is rare for humans to find it. At this moment, I, symbolically declare that you and Armen will always be with me, and we will never be separated again, even though your mother has severed family ties.”
Feelings of emotion enveloped the girl’s heart, and she almost cried. However, the man who had known and educated that immortal goddess since childhood grabbed Atvertha’s left cheek. “Do not cry. This is your happy day.”
“Thank you, Dad.” The white woman tried to smile as if trying to convince the god she was talking to.
“Princess, you are very beautiful. You look like your mother, even though she does not want to come to your wedding.” Lord Helion was silent for a few seconds, and then he smiled bitterly, even if only for a moment. Atvertha felt sad because the Sun Goddess was still adamant about her decision-not wanting to approve of the Queen of Witches’ relationship with her mortal guy.
“Let’s get out of here. The wedding ceremony should start soon.”
“Yes, Dad.” Lord Helion and Atvertha left the room as soon as possible, and then they went accompanied by their five pet companions and the two ladies-in-waiting who had been waiting outside.
Today, I am very excited and scared. All the hopes and struggles that Armen and I have had will come true because we will soon become husband and wife, but why do we get a bad feeling on a happy day? Hopefully, everything is fine and nothing strange happens. Atvertha continued to hope in her heart that everything would go according to the plan and that no terrible events would ruin her happiness.
