Chapter 117. Visiting The Guest
In Nyx’s area of power,
A burly man appeared in a large room with a red carpet, a burning fireplace, and sofas on the left and right. Lighting also came from torches attached to the walls. A white-eyed woman was sitting on a sofa, but she did not look at the guest.
The woman’s expression changed because she started to grin. This situation was unknown to the opposite sex because her long hair covered both cheeks, so the scene could not be seen clearly. “What do you want, brother?”
A thirty-five-year-old man was slightly stunned, but this only lasted for a few seconds, after which his face returned to normal. Meanwhile, a goddess he was talking to wanted to avoid looking at him and still remained in the same position. “I want to talk to you, sister.”
“What kind of topic do you want to talk about? Atvertha?” When he heard the name of the Moon Goddess, the man wearing all black was not surprised. On the contrary, he grinned, too, as if what his biological sister said was an excellent signal to continue the conversation without having to bother trying to do so.
“You always already know, so I will not hesitate anymore. Atvertha is in my place. Come and see her there.” Havento stated his wish while Nyx grinned again as soon as possible.
“Have you two slept together until she was at your place?” A two hundred and seventy-year-old woman asked her brother without mincing words.
“I am not as depraved as you imagine. That girl can be there because I, Hertinoz, and Atvertha have made an agreement.” Havento answered the annoying question and was not offended by Nyx, even though the young man seemed wary because the other goddess’s behavior seemed strange especially her words.
“Why did you even make that ridiculous deal, Brother? If you could have Atvertha for yourself, why sacrifice yourself? You are so naive and stupid.” A woman with ten children shook her head once and remained reluctant to look at Havento directly. Meanwhile, the rarely-smiling man raised one eyebrow but did not comment to Nyx.
“It was Atvertha who called me and Hertinoz with Ask Your Fellow Spell. After listening to her offer, my friend also did the same thing, and they agreed. I also agreed because what Hertinoz asked was related to his coming to the Underworld to help and taking a vacation from his duties in the Upper World.” Havento explained the essence of the problem so that Nyx understood.
“You are still stupid to me. Why did you ask me to come to your place? Did Atvertha tell you to?” A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-four centimeters, asked, and she still used the same intonation as before, which was flat and seemed to have no emotion at all.
“No, you were wrong. She did not ask me to do it. I took the initiative to do that.” A guy wearing all black answered without any hesitation. Nyx almost laughed out loud, but the girl tried hard to hold it in so that there would not be a fight between them.
“Well, of all the Underworld immortal gods and goddesses, you are the only one who is willing to sacrifice for the sake of the woman you love. I disagree with your actions because they are very ridiculous.” Nyx shook her head again because she could not understand the mindset of the oldest brother in their family.
“Follow me and meet your friend. I know your relationship with her is not good, so this is a good opportunity to fix it.” A young guy with long black hair did not give up on persuading his sister, even though Nyx had not yet decided for him.
“I never hated her, but she always got into trouble after having a special relationship with that disgusting mortal male. I was the one who was badly affected by her selfishness.” That slender woman said something else, so Havento started to get annoyed with her attitude.
“What do you mean? Do not talk in circles!” A cold-faced man emphasized, and the intonation of his voice began to rise slightly. A woman who had her own dimensions looks relaxed. She seemed to want to tell the opposite sex about a terrible event that had happened to her.
“Before you came here, about an hour and fifteen minutes ago, her mother suddenly accused me of hiding Atvertha. In fact, she dared to curse openly, including threatening to report to the Great God Council, because I refused to admit to the terrible action which she repeatedly accused me of. My husband and Lord Helion were eyewitnesses to this terrible incident.” Nyx felt annoyed and wanted to kill Avtexia, but her beloved man’s actions were able to make the anger that had dominated her, without further ado, disappear by itself.
Havento did not get angry with Nyx. The burly man understood what had happened and quickly knew what the Sun Goddess had done, so he said to the opposite sex, “Avtexia must have used a cross-dimensional spell, so she did not need to be here, and only her voice could be heard.”
“Yeah, she did it, brother.” Nyx did not deny it, and she stared at the fireplace, which was still burning. The atmosphere was silent for a few moments because the conversation between them had stopped. A man, secretly in love with Atvertha, began to find ways to get his sister to changed her mind because Havento has already promised the girl they will meet.
“What are you doing with Goddess Avtexia, sister?” Havento’s question had broken the ice between them. A woman who hated sunlight exhaled so that her voice could be heard by the person she was talking to. She did not answer as soon as possible, and the Lord of the Underworld waited patiently.
“What did you say? Me? What did I do to her? Of course, I responded to her insults. The funny thing was that she threatened to kill me, even though she knew very well that our family members and all our descendants have never been touched by death.” Nyx chuckled as she remembered the event. Havento continued to try to find a way out so that his younger sister would fulfill his wishes.
“Did Lord Helion not take any action, even though he knew that his wife had done something fatal?” Havento continued to extract information from Nyx, even though he was reluctant to do it, but such action must still be taken in order to smooth out his plans.
“No, he did something useful. In the middle of the argument, suddenly, the crazy goddess fell silent, and then Lord Helion took over the argument and immediately apologized. He did it around three times. Good for her because her husband saved her from real death.” A woman who wore a dress made of darkness, blue-black like night, and filled with sparkling light became happy because the enemy was defeated, and she got the victory she deserved.
“How about your husband? Was Toretz just silent?” When she heard this question, the white-eyed woman suddenly looked back. She saw her eldest brother standing there and not moving at all. Havento cheered with joy in his heart because the target had fallen into the trap.
“Watch your words, brother. My husband had taken the right actions, so my emotions became stable. He was not a weak man like Lord Havento. Do not forget that he is the Death God.” Nyx’s scary aura increased because she did not accept that her spouse was accused of being ridiculous.
“If everything ended well as you said, then why do you not still want to meet Atvertha? She is already here, and this is your chance to talk to your heart’s content without having to be afraid of her parents. Do not look for any more bullshit excuses so that you can avoid it, Nyx.” That clever man asked like that on purpose because he still insisted on facilitating the meeting of the two girls.
An immortal goddess with many hidden powers kept staring intently at Havento as if she was trying not to attack her brother. Meanwhile, a man who did not like being argued with actually grinned as if daring Nyx to do something terrible to him, but the girl was not provoked and continued to act normal.

Ten minutes later
A silver-haired girl was sitting on the edge of the bed. The atmosphere in that room was so quiet that it made her feel empty. The memory of her mortal man reappeared in her mind, so Atvertha missed him very much. “Armen. I miss you so much. I can’t enter your dreams because I am afraid something bad will happen to you and me. If only Mom and Dad did not force me to marry that fool Toghnath.”
Just as Atvertha had finished saying these words, suddenly, there was a knocking sound. This situation made the young lady silent as if she wanted to confirm that what she heard was true. That same voice was there again, so the virgin was convinced that there was an immortal god who wanted to meet her.
“Who is that?” asked the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, looking towards the door.
“Atvertha, it is me,” answered a man behind the door. His baritone voice sounded so familiar that Atvertha recognized it and was relieved.
“Come in, Havento!” That Crossroads Lady allowed the opposite sex to enter her room. Without waiting any longer, the door opened by itself. However, the burly man did not come alone; but there was an immortal goddess who followed him from behind.
A violet-eyed girl was shocked when she realized who the immortal goddess was. However, her face, which could not be expressed commonly, aka still looked flat, actually benefits her because the pair of brother and sister did not know what Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover was feeling.
“I have kept my promise to you. I brought Nyx here.” Havento said that on purpose to create a conversation between them. The Night Goddess watched the movements of her close friend. She realized that the goddess was wearing a new golden yellow dress, which made Atvertha’s appearance looked even more enchanting.
“Thank you, Havento.” That was all she could say to the opposite sex because she was confused about what else to say to him.
“Okay. Have fun. Do not let the two of you fight, let alone make the Underworld shake.” That man said earnestly, hoping everything would be fine and his worried would never come true.
“You can count on me, brother.” A woman with a scary aura answered, so Havento doubted this statement.
“I will ask for compensation if you dare damage my area, Nyx.” Havento threatened, but the intonation he used remained flat.
“Do not worry, brother. I will compensate you for all your losses.” Havento did not answer and let his sister say whatever she wanted. It was like he did not want to leave a wrong impression in the eyes of his crush. Meanwhile, Nyx still did not divert her attention from a young, who was her older brother’s guest, and Atvertha responded with the same action.
“Atvertha, if you need me, just call my name.” As soon as possible, that cold guy man left the room after seeing the virgin nod. The two immortal goddesses still looked at each other when the host was not there.
“What did you do here? Are you married to my brother?” Nyx finally opened the conversation first.
“No, I do not want to marry him.” The pale-skinned girl refuted the other goddess’s words.
“Then, what? Are you deliberately taking advantage of Havento’s kindness? If yes, I will kill you now. Do not play games with him.”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I did not do anything like that. I am here because-”
