Chapter 114. Welcome to My Place
A while later, in the Underworld,
Two immortal gods and an immortal goddess had arrived in a place dominated by darkness, but there was light coming from the many torches attached to the walls. The virgin goddess looked around, and she saw an interesting sight. There was a long hallway with lots of doors on the left and right, but the atmosphere did not feel scary. Not only that, Atvertha just realized that on the right side, there was a chimney and several gold chairs, making the atmosphere lively.
A violet-eyed woman did not fully realize that she was still holding hands with the Lord of the Underworld. Havento watched the movements of the opposite sex and deliberately let their hands interlock. Hertinoz, who was standing behind Atvertha and his friend, could only shake his head because of Nyx’s eldest brother’s actions.
Havento and Goddess Atvertha are perfect together. They can complement each other because the Moon Goddess’s gentleness can warm my cold friend. If the two of them get married, then that goddess can inspire Havento so that Havento’s residence becomes brighter. It is a shame that the Queen of Witches chose a mortal male instead of Nyx’s brother. Hertinoz only dared to express his opinion in his heart.
“This place…” The pale-skinned girl did not finish her words because she was busy observing the situation. When he heard these words, the black-haired man who had been holding her fingers became interested, so Havento leaned his body towards the girl he wanted to talk to.
“What happened to this place? Did you like it?” Havento’s baritone voice was audible, but his tone was soft so that Hertinoz became even more convinced that his close friend had indeed fallen in love with Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover.
“Did you organize this place?” asked Atvertha, who still had not seen the opposite sex’s face directly. A slender girl looked so small when next to Havento. That man smiled when he received such a question. He did not seem angry and was even happy with the girl’s enthusiasm.
“Yeah, I did it by myself.” A man who had a height of two meters tall could not say anything else to Atvertha because he tried to hide his nervousness, even though it felt hard for him.
“You did a great job!” Havento smiled when he heard the Crossroads Lady’s sincere praise. Meanwhile, a young man with curly hair had been watching Atvertha and Havento’s conversation and felt he could no longer hold back his laughter. Therefore, as soon as possible, the God of Communication took the initiative to leave the area without the host knowing.
A woman with a sharp nose turned her head, then looked up so that she was eye-to-eye with the man. “Which room do I stay in while I am here, Havento?”
“Follow me.” Havento and Atvertha walked side by side towards the front, so both of them were like lovers or husband and wife. In less than two minutes, they stopped in front of the door of a room. What made it unique was that the door was made of black stone. However, the sentence ‘Reserved for My Guest’ seems to be written with a spot of gold ink.
“This is your room. You can use it while you are still in the Underworld.” The three-hundred-and-ten-year-old man explained to Atvertha that he was forced to let go of the other person’s fingers, even though he preferred it that way.
Atvertha suddenly realized that Havento had just let go of her grip, but she was not angry. A woman who could see in the dark looked towards the door and asked the first son of the God Hetzh-the Lord of Darkness, and the Goddess Aymenth-the Lord of Sorrow. “How can I enter this room, Havento? Did you lock it with a spell, or is there a special method? If so, please tell me.”
A man who had hated Atvertha because the girl had a physical resemblance to the Goddess Avtexia was silent for two seconds, and then he turned his attention towards the door. He said, “Open the door!”
The stone door moved by itself, so the young lady felt relieved. She had not taken any action yet because she was waiting for instructions from Havento. When the door was wide open, Atvertha saw a spacious and bright room similar to her own, although the lighting was not as bright as in Lord Helion’s palace.
“Please come in, Atvertha.” That burly man invited the guest to enter the room. The virgin nodded, then dared to do what the host asked, even though in her heart she felt anxious.
When the girl entered the room provided, Atvertha sauntered, looking at the appearance almost the same as the room she used every day. However, the objects there were dominated by gold with black accents, gave the impression of luxury and elegance. A woman who did not like flirtatious men was pleased with what she had seen, so she looked back where Havento was observing her without commenting.
“Thank you, Havento.” That was all Atvertha could convey to the opposite sex. That single man smiled faintly and nodded.
“You are welcome, Atvertha. If you want to take a shower later, just go in there.” The strong-jawed man pointed to his right, so the girl also turned her face in that direction, and she saw a door that looked like it was made of walnut wood, but it seemed to have been stained dark brown and shiny as if it had been well cared for.
“For a change of clothes, you can check in the cupboard. I have prepared everything for you.” Havento pointed again to his left, and again, Atvertha turned there. A woman with naturally pink lips actually found the object that the opposite sex was referring to, so she was surprised that the young man would go to the trouble of doing all these things without being asked.
“Once again, thank you for your kindness, Havento. Hopefully, in the future, I can repay your kindness.” A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, said so seriously that the young man spontaneously shook his head as if he disagreed with Atvertha’s statement. He looked at the girl with a deep feeling, which embarrassed the young lady.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“You are my guest, so do not say like that. You owe me nothing, so make yourself comfortable while staying here.” A man with a scary aura refuted the other person, but his tone was still the same gentle, which made Atvertha confused.
“Okay, if you say so.” Atvertha did not want to continue the same topic of conversation and preferred to stop it.
A man who owns two three-headed dogs had turned his body around and was about to leave. However, Havento suddenly got an idea, so he postponed his intention to leave the girl’s room without further ado and turned his back to Atvertha. Meanwhile, the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, was still watching the opposite sex and was surprised when she saw the change in the man’s attitude.
“Before I leave, I have to tell you something important. As long as you still live in my area, do not ever appear on Earth. Do not dare to return to the Upper World unless there are me and Hertinoz. If you still insist on going alone, then the plans that have been made could fail, and our agreement will likely be cancelled.”
Atvertha was silent as if thinking about everything Havento said. She nodded, thinking about the most significant risk if she dared to carry out the stupidity the Ruler of the Underworld mentioned. “Thank you for your suggestions. I will follow all your advice.”
“Good. Do you want to meet Nyx? If you want, I will ask her to meet you here. You do not need to leave the room because she came here.” Havento deliberately said that to Atvertha so that the girl could meet his sister. The pretty girl blinked twice as if she did not believe the young man’s offer.
“I am not sure if she wants to meet me.” A violet-eyed woman was already pessimistic, especially considering that she got there. After all, she ran away from the palace because she did not want to marry Toghnath.
“I will arrange it. Do not worry.” Havento seemed to have done this on purpose because he had a hidden goal. Atevrtha still did not feel comfortable with the words of the opposite sex. Still, the girl couldn’t deny that she already missed the figure of her friend, who was usually always present at any time, even though she wasn’t invited.
“Okay. I trust you, but will Nyx report to Mom and Dad if I hide here?” A doubt emerged in the girl’s mind because she understood Nyx’s character, which was sometimes difficult to understand. Moreover, that black-haired woman really hated her mortal lover, so Atvertha’s fear that her best friend secretly leaked information about her whereabouts to Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia grew even more remarkable.
Yeah, there is no harm in seeing what Havento will do. If Nyx even complained about this incident to my parents. But, let’s see what would be happening next. I hope my fear does not come true, Atvertha hoped in her heart.
That stiff man actually laughed a little, which made Atvertha surprised and annoyed. “My sister is not the type of immortal goddess who likes to interfere in matters like that unless you have gone too far or have bad intentions towards our family. Nyx will do anything to make her enemies suffer, and she will not stop until satisfied. She likes to do more behind the scenes, aka pretending not to know, even though the opposite is true.”
“Okay. I do not know how you persuade Nyx, but I believe in you.” Finally, a girl who looked younger than her age entrusted the matter to Havento. The man with long, black hair was silent for a few seconds, which made Atvertha wait for his response.
The guy who was looking for a wife from among the immortal goddesses again found an idea, so he had to convey this to his guest. Neither Havento nor Atvertha even realized that Hertinoz had not been there all this time. “Great, I almost forgot. If you are hungry or thirsty and want to eat or drink something, then you can say something to-”
