Chapter 152. Question and Answer with The Book of Destiny
In a room used by the Moon Goddess,
A black-haired girl was sitting on the edge of the bed. The atmosphere in the room was quiet, so this situation made the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, remember meeting her beloved lover. Without realizing it, she smiled to herself. “Armen, I am thrilled that you love me for who I am, even though my condition does not support it. Now, I have to convince my father so he can forgive me and bless our relationship. Hopefully, after all that, our appearance will return to normal.”
Just as the virgin goddess said that there was a loud sound, so Atvertha’s attention was diverted there. It turned out that on a table where there were two trays containing food and drinks, there was also a silver-covered book. “That book looks familiar. I guess I know what was that.”
As soon as possible, the slender woman got up and walked in that direction without hesitation. After arriving at the destination area, Atvertha took that object, and then the object opened by itself. Atvertha saw that there was a reasonably long sentence already in the book as if someone had written it.
Good day, Goddess Atvertha! Ah, I was wrong; you are already the Queen of Witches. How did you meet your mortal guy? You look pleased. Do you have any further plans yet?
“Ah, as usual, you always know what was going on with me. Yeah. I am happy because my man doesn’t mind my new appearance, so we still want to get married. Next plans? Of course, I have a plan to do that! I want to meet my dad and then answer the two questions he said. What was wrong with you?”
The two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman told the magickal book about what happened and her next plan, although only in outline. In less than a minute, the same page appeared again, but the writing did not remove the sentence that had appeared. The new sentence actually appears below the old sentence. Atvertha swiftly read the sentence that was there.
Well, do you want to hear the good news or the bad news first? You decide it, Goddess Atvertha.
That young lady did not want to answer yet. She looked suspiciously at the book he got when he went to the Heavenly Library. This is the first time I have seen the Book of Destiny written like that. What this thing writes, most of the results are correct. What kind of great news and bad news does he mean, huh? I am curious, thought Atvertha, and she kept a huge curiosity in her mind.
“I want to know the good news first.” Atvertha had decided, and she hoped that what she had chosen was the right action.
Word for word appears again at the bottom of the second sentence. The wallflower girl waited until the written sentence was complete. When no more writing appeared, Atverha went back to reading it. “Okay then. The good news is that you can return to your original form. Your body can even change to normal as before, as long as…”
“What the heck? Why do you seem to be keeping secrets, anyway? Just tell me the truth so I do not have to guess!” Atverha became irritated. The happiness that had been felt disappeared because he read provocative words from the Book of Destiny. However, nothing had changed from the book. There were only three sentences and no additions, so the girl returned to reread everything written there.
“Well, I have not chosen yet. No wonder this crazy book does not react at all. Tch! Why does it have to ruin my happy mood, anyway?” Atvertha grumbled. Suddenly, thirst began to hit, so the woman who did not like being matched with Toghnath stopped nagging.
A woman who could see in the dark put the book on the table, took a glass containing juice, and returned to bed. After arriving there, Atvertha sat down and began to drink the juice slowly so that, over time, her thirst disappeared, and her body felt fresh again. The annoyance that had been present in the girl’s heart began to disappear so she could think clearly again.
Atvertha instead remembered her conversation with Nyx, Lord Athalamaya, and Goddess Tathatea. Moreover, his friend had revealed that the Lord of the Underworld really had special feelings for her. This situation made the woman who used to live in the sky nervous, especially before entering the room; she and Havento had a conversation about her mortal guy who still loved the girl for who she was.
“I do not want to stay in the Underworld for long. Apart from feeling uncomfortable with Havento, who has been very kind and helped a lot, I have to be self-aware and can’t bother him anymore. This place is not suitable for long-term living.”
The white-eyed woman looked at the glass, and half of the juice was still left in it. Without hesitation, Atvertha drank the juice until it was finished. The silence in the room made the Crossroads Lady calmer. All the events that happened that day came back to mind. “I can’t stay at Havento’s place, but creating my own realm requires a lot of energy. Nyx really wants to help, but I feel like something is missing. I want all the seals in my body to disappear.”
The Moon Goddess heard a loud sound again, and she turned back to the source of the sound. That magickal book moved by itself, even emitting violet light. A young lady whom many Upper World Gods favored became confused.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
“What was wrong with that strange book? Why is it glowing? Will something happen to me, or maybe…” The long-haired woman did not continue speaking. She was forced to go to the table area because she was curious about the Book of Destiny’s intention to make a move like that, which was rare.
The magic book continued to move and shine as if something urgent needed the owner to come to it without any delay. When the virgin had come to the same area, the same sound continued to be heard, which added to the astonishment in that immortal goddess’s heart. “What was going on? This strange book always confuses me!” Atvertha grumbled as she put the empty glass back on the tray.
Atvertha took the book, and then the same page opened again. There was a new sentence that caught the girl’s attention: You have not chosen the bad news, Goddess Atvertha. Are you afraid to know what will happen, or are you deliberately stalling?
The slim woman snorted. Atvertha remembered what was brought up in the Book of Destiny and that this incident did not happen intentionally but was the effect of the juice she drank. “Oh, damn it! This strange book actually comes in. Just remember the last choice about bad news. Alright. I want to know what you mean by the bad news!”
A girl who was helped a lot by Nyx closed her eyes, so she did not notice what the magickal book was doing. “The juice I drank was indeed effective. If I am not mistaken, the juice and porridge were the medicine I had to consume, but I forgot how much juice I could drink and how many times the porridge was eaten. I will ask my friend later.”
“Goddess Atvertha. Read that book now.” The owner of the name was surprised because he heard someone calling his name. Lebrazht’s future daughter-in-law opened her eyes and began to look around the room, but there was no one there. However, she felt sure that she had heard something.
“Who is that?” asked the girl in a slightly loud voice. However, there was no answer. Atvertha raised one eyebrow and repeated the same thing, but the result was still to no avail.
Atvertha was silent as if waiting for a reaction, but there was no sound. The virgin gave up, so she turned her gaze back to the book she was holding. “Is it possible that this book is talking? If I say this weird book may be doing it, then nothing is impossible. The Book of Destiny always knows that I have a problem and definitely provides several options for a solution.”
If you marry Armen, Goddess Avtexia will not come, let alone give her blessing, and other dangers lurk for your safety. No, not just you and your mortal male, but also all pack members. Are you ready for all that? There is still time to think again and step back from this forbidden relationship.
“Oh, my! I am determined to choose Armen as my future husband. We have agreed and do not want to back down. If Mom does not agree, it does not matter as long as my father agrees. What danger do you mean? Please explain so that I can anticipate it.” Atvertha strongly rejected the suggestion from her interlocutor in the form of a book.
A new sentence appeared again below the sentence that the Queen of Witch had just read. Atvertha could not understand what was written in the Book of Destiny, but she became very curious and could not help but have to go back to read a new sentence that had been written there.
Did you forget with Lord Toghnath? Did you think he would let you go easily? He will bring a group of eternal enemies to your new pack. I will not tell you what he will do because Goddess Atvertha will have to bear all the damage you have done.
“Toghnath? He could not possibly do something like that. He is not a strong god, as you told me. If indeed he created a group of eternal enemies as a match for my people, then go ahead. I am not afraid because they are strong and can defend themselves.” Atvertha started to become arrogant because she felt that the warnings from the Magickal book were ridiculous and worth ignoring. The magic book that the goddess obtained when the goddess was in the Heavenly Library seemed to disagree, so a new, very long sentence appeared.
Goddess Atvertha, you must not say that. Remember this: a snake is a snake. You can’t say, ‘Oh, it is easy. I can tame this snake.’ No! You would never know if the animal suddenly became vicious. Lord Toghnath is a cunning and rational man. He was silent not because he had given up but because he was looking for the right time to take revenge. If something undesirable happens one day because you have been given a warning, you deliberately laugh at it instead!
This time, the girl’s expression changed. Atvertha was starting to get scared about whether all the warnings were accurate, but she was reluctant to admit it to the book she was talking to. “Hm… that makes sense. Do you have any suggestions for how to solve it? If you can’t give a suggestion, then I assume all your words are just lies!”
New word after word appeared on the same page. Atvertha was silent, observing what was happening in the book. Her eyes widened when she read a sentence that had just appeared there.
Goddess Atvertha, you must-
