The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

At Lebrazht Lugthna’s house,

The atmosphere became silent because a husband and wife who had been married for thirty-six years were still amazed by what they were witnessing. Meanwhile, a young man who had been eavesdropping on the conversation also felt the same way as his parents. Armen was still observing the face of Norah and Lebrazht alternately. He laughed inside because his father did not dare to criticize his girlfriend, which made the man very angry.

“Mom? Dad?” Armen deliberately called his parents, who looked stunned by the presence of this silver-haired foreign girl. Goddess Atvertha did not say anything because she was watching her host. There was complete silence, as if everyone in the family had fallen asleep.

When they heard the eldest son, the husband, and the wife, as soon as possible woke up, and smiled awkwardly at a violet-eyed woman watching them with an expressionless expression. “Ah. Si… please sit down, the Moon Goddess,” said the head of the Lugthna family, stammering a bit.

“Thank you,” Atvertha said politely.

Norah and Lebrazht sat down first, then Armen and Atvertha followed. The hook-nosed man turned to his wife, then made an expression that only they could understand. Both seemed to communicate with body language, especially through gazes and facial movements such as shaking or nodding. Meanwhile, a pair of lovers from different worlds can only wait for what Armen’s parents have to say.

The fifty-two-year-old woman seemed to flinch after seeing her husband’s expression. She shook her head, but her spouse even seemed to nod twice, which made the mother of two sons snort in annoyance. Norah was forced to look at Armen and the guest, who had been watching their behavior all along without saying anything.

“Welcome to our home, the Moon Goddess. My name is Norah and he is my husband, Lebrazht Lugthna.” The blonde-haired woman started to introduce herself. She did not forget to point at her husband, who sat beside her. The gaze of the foreign woman gave the two of them goosebumps, even though that immortal goddess did not do anything outlandish to them.

“Thank you for the welcome, Mrs. Lugthna. My name is Atvertha. Goddess Atvertha.” The virgin also introduced herself, and Armen’s parents noticed that the guest’s eye colour, which was initially violet, had turned pink. Such a moment amazed Armen’s parents, so the desire to start a conversation vanished from both of their minds, even though before the girl’s arrival, they already had a million questions for the Crossroads Lady.

Armen noticed the change in the attitude of both parents. Again, he laughed inside his heart because of his parent’s actions.

Yes, I told them that my lady was a Goddess, but they did not believe me. When Atvertha came, none of them dared to ask. Even Dad, who always said negative things about my special girl, was immediately silent and looked nervous. Well, I have never met a ghost, a dark spirit, nor a fairy, but the aura that appears in Atvertha is more than enough to convince her that she is the real Moon Goddess, thought the brown-haired man while still looking at Norah’s face and Lebrazht.

“Ni … nice to meet you, Goddess Atvertha. We … we did not expect that an immortal goddess would be willing to come here.” The hazel-eyed woman stuttered again when talking to the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia. Meanwhile, his spouse was still speechless. He could only observe the conversation that took place between his beloved wife and her eldest son’s lover.

“I am also happy to meet Mrs. Lugthna. Thank you for inviting me here.” The young lady was awkward facing her lover’s family because this was her first experience like this. However, the beautiful girl spoke to them as politely as possible, even though an aura of authority emanated from within herself that Armen’s parents both felt shy and afraid of her.

“Y… yes. We … we heard from Armen that our son already has a lover, so as parents, we wanted to meet his special friend. I … I hope you were not mad at us.” Unknowingly, Norah revealed a little bit of her heart, so that Armen and Lebrazht were shocked. Meanwhile, Atvertha did not consider what the other person had said as a weakness because the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman, without further ado, shook her head.

“No, I was not mad. I am happy to meet Mr. and Mrs. Lugthna. This is my first time to visit a mortal’s house.” Goddess Atvertha, who was not good at small talk, could only directly express her feelings but still used a polite tone. Meanwhile, Agtheo was still hiding in the darkness. He could not stop admiring the beauty of his older brother’s lover. The girl’s aura of authority radiated so much that the mortals there seemed dissatisfied with staring at her.

“Damn it! I thought that when Bibro fell into a trap, and was attacked by a tiger that was deliberately prepared to kill him, surely the idiot was already dead, but in fact he was still alive. I could not believe that a Goddess saved his life and she became his special girl. Now I see with my own eyes, that what he said about the Moon Goddesses is true. Why is Armen always full of luck?” muttered Agtheo, hateful.

Suddenly, the young lady who lived in Upperworld turned to where Agtheo was hiding. She stared intently at the young man as if she had learned a secret that the opposite sex had been hiding. The special guest did the weird act, and suddenly all eyes were on it, even though they could not see what Atvertha was witnessing due to the lack of lighting in Lebrazht Lugthna’s house.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“Who are you? Why are you standing there and eavesdropping on all our conversations?” asked Atvertha sharply. She pointed to the spot where the young guy was standing, and suddenly, a light shone on Agtheo. The thirty-year-old man panicked because everyone’s attention had been drawn to him.

“Forgive me, Goddess. It is our second son. His name is Agtheo,” replied the head of the Lugthna family. The man who used to get married at a very young age did look worried, so he took the initiative to explain to their special guest.

As soon as possible, Norah glared at the young man who was still in the same area. The woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-two centimeters tall, gave an eye movement that seemed to tell her son to leave that place. But the weird thing was happening; Agtheo’s body could not be moved, and he was still standing there; even though he did not want it. Meanwhile, Armen did not suspect his younger brother at all. However, he frowned, confused by Agtheo’s strange attitude in his opinion.

Goddess Atvertha kept watching the movements of the target without blinking at all. The two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman’s gaze was terrifying for Agtheo as if he was about to be devoured by the goddess. The atmosphere became strange and awkward at the same time because the aura of authority was replaced by such strong intimidation. That mortal family became affected by the air spread by Armen’s lover.

“Are you the one who caused Armen to get hurt? I heard you say in your heart, the terrible accident that happened in Armen, so he almost died in the forest due to a tiger attack, it was all because of your actions. You wanted him to die. Why did you hate your brother so much, even though he never did nothing bad or wrong to you?”

Atvertha’s questions had succeeded in causing a commotion among the mortal family members who were there, especially Armen. They could not believe that the youngest child could do such atrocities. Meanwhile, the young man, who was indeed jealous of his older brother, could not answer all those questions. Agtheo’s tongue was numb, so it was hard to say anything.

“Answer her, Agtheo! You have been rude, because an immortal goddess asked you, but you did not even answer at all. We never taught you to act like that. Is it true what the Moon Goddess asked?” asked the man, who had a height of one hundred and eighty-five centimeters.

The young man with a tattoo indicating the symbol of the Agbazarth tribe in his left hand had not been able to do what his father ordered because he studied the faces of his family one by one. However, when he accidentally looked at the Crossroads Lady, Agtheo seemed transfixed because the virgin goddess’s gaze seemed to want to suck his soul into the world of the dead.

“Agtheo!” Lebrazht snapped, exasperated.

The middle-aged man had lost his temper; moreover, the youngest son had dared to do something out of the ordinary, namely being silent when asked, especially when the one asking was Goddess Atvertha.

The sound of the snap startled the young man, and he suddenly realized from his reverie. He did not have the guts to answer yet, but his biological father’s angry expression forced him to do what he ordered. “I… I-”
