Chapter 102. The Agreement
In the Crossroads Lady’s room,
The white man’s expression looked very happy when he heard the statement from the opposite sex. Nyx’s eldest brother turned to Atvertha without further ado because he did not expect the girl to agree with Hertinoz’s request. “That is a great, Goddess! Thank you for helping me.”
That intelligent goddess nodded, and an idea came to mind, so she said it as soon as possible to the immortal god she was talking to, “What should I do now? Should I need something from the Underworld so I can bless you? Do you want me to do it now or later?”
A man, who had a height of two meters, walked towards Atvertha, so the virgin goddess was stunned, but she remained calm. On the other hand, questions arose in the God of Communication’s heart regarding his friend’s attitude, which seemed strange to him. Hertinoz watched Havento’s behavior closely, looking for evidence of why his friend could do something weird and unusual.
What was wrong with Havento? Why did he seem jealous when I praised Goddess Atvertha’s beauty? Did he secretly like that girl? But why did he just stay silent and not approach a woman he likes? It was a shame that the Moon Goddess chose a mortal guy, even though my friend was much better than that mortal creature, thought Lord Hertinoz, while holding his chin with the right hand.
When a man wearing black clothes arrived in front of the target, he lowered his head and raised his right palm. The wallflower girl looked very petite compared to Havento, who was tall and stocky. Suddenly, a small golden yellow light emerged from the Lord of the Underworld’s palm. Over time, the light forms a medium-sized lock with a shiny silver color.
“I give you this key as a sign that you can enter my place anytime, and no one can get in your way except me. Take this, Atvertha.” Lord Havento said, offering his palm to the girl. The intonation of his voice was soft so that Hertinoz, who was still watching, immediately held back his laughter and tried hard not to make the slightest sound.
“Thank you, Havento.” Without hesitation, the slim girl took the object from the man’s hand. Atvertha felt a gentle energy vibration, and the object appeared to enter the palm of her left hand. This moment made Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover stunned.
Before Atvertha could ask, Havento had already told her, “Do not worry. It is a normal thing. You do not need to be afraid.”
The thin-browed woman’s feelings calmed down after hearing the statement from the person she was talking to. Atvertha accidentally looked up and saw Havento’s expression, which was very different from usual. The three-hundred-and-ten-year-old man met Atvertha’s gaze and smiled sweetly, which startled the virgin even though she could not be shown it openly.
“Can you please open the seal of my room? I have had enough of living here.” The young lady asked Havento, so the introverted man nodded without changing his current position, meaning he was still looking at Atvertha’s beautiful face.
That man’s right palm was directed towards the door, then he made a pulling movement on something in the air, and soon a “Crack” sound was heard, although it was very soft. Without having to be told, the immortal goddess already understood that what she had asked for had been granted.
“The seal on the door has been opened, but I suggest you act appropriately in front of your parents so they do not get suspicious.” Lord Havento said while still paying attention to the girl’s expression without blinking at all.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Thank you for your suggestion. Lord Hertinoz, come here. I will keep my promise.” A girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, called out the name of the immortal god who had been watching the activities of the two, especially the eldest son of the couple, God Hetzh – the Lord of the Darkness and Goddess Aymenth – the Lord of the Sorrow. Havento seemed to realise that there was somebody else in the room. There was not only him and Atvertha but also his Upper World God friend.
The black-haired man was forced to look back, and there was Hertinoz, who could not help but want to laugh but had to give up this intention because he was afraid of the cold-faced man. “I thought you guys forgot about me,” said Hertinoz, but Havento was already glaring at him, so he was forced to change the conversation. “How about we help you get your mortal mate, Goddess Atvertha? Do you agree?”
“Pardon? What do you mean, Lord Hertinoz?” asked Atvertha, who did not understand the offer.
“Call me Hertinoz, Goddess. I think if you fight alone to defend your mate, then your parents come to attack, then you will definitely lose. How about we help you too?” answered Hertinoz, who explained in detail what he had stated previously.
“But, what about the agreement at the beginning? Will it not be fair to you later?” A woman with thin lips remembered the information she had read on a parchment scroll and chose the safe route in order to avoid problems in the future.
If I accept Lord Hertinoz’s offer, will everything be okay? Do not let me be reported to the Grand God Council just because of a problem that seems trivial but has serious consequences, Atvertha muttered in her heart.
“For me, it does not matter. How about you, Havento?” That clever man asked for an opinion from his friend, who was watching Atvertha and Hertinoz without making a sound.
A man, who was secretly in love with Atvertha was reluctant to answer, but he still tried to act normal so as not to be suspected by Hertinoz. “I do not have a problem if I have to help her. But what about the blessing you asked for? When will it be implemented?”
The blonde man was silent for a few seconds. He seemed to be looking for the right answer. Meanwhile, both Atvertha and Havento chose to remain silent because they were waiting for a response from that Upper World God. “What if Goddess Atvertha blesses me after all the business is finished? I can wait.”
Havento raised one eyebrow, indicating he was not sure about the decision. However, the God of Communication nodded. Not only that, from his facial expression, it looked compelling if he really wanted that. Meanwhile, Atvertha did not interfere and only observed the faces of the two immortal gods.
“Okay, if you say so. I do not mind, but do not change your mind because that is ridiculous and dangerous for our agreement!” Havento agreed to Hertinoz’s idea, but the young man did not forget to stare coldly at the person he was talking to. This action made the man with a small tattoo of a cloud on his upper left arm afraid, strengthening his suspicion that the Underworld God had indeed fallen in love with the Queen of Witches.
“Wait, I remember if something is missing.” The charming man spontaneously remembered something, so he approached Havento and Atvertha.
“What is that?” Havento asked, full of curiosity.
“We have to confirm the agreement that has been made because both we and Goddess Atvertha have agreed on several things,” answered Hertinoz, smiling broadly.
The man raised both hands in the air, and then a roll of parchment that had been opened and contained writing on it appeared. Not only that, there were two quill pens that already had ink on their tips. Both Atvertha and Havento looked amazed, even though this situation only lasted for a moment.
That young man turned to Atvertha. A woman who always looked youthful looked back at the immortal god, as if she had been waiting for something from him. “Come here, Goddess. I need your sign because you were the one who called me with your spell.”
The young lady, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, could only say, “Yes.”
That girl walked towards the God of Communication past Havento, who was now observing her movements. I do not know if there will be a signing of the agreement. But, what Hertinoz said was right, if he and I needed to do that because we had agreed on what kind of help I needed and what actions to take in exchange for him, Atvertha muttered to herself.
When she arrived near Hertinoz, the young man smiled politely at him, then pointed to the right of the parchment on which the name Atvertha as the Moon Goddess was written as the party requesting help through the Ask Your Fellow Immortal Spell while saying, “Please sign it here, Goddess. ”
“Okay.” The beautiful woman took a quill pen and then did what Hertinoz asked her to do. When finished, she let go of the object, and the cell remained floating in the air.
“Thank you, Goddess Atvertha.” The name’s owner just nodded because she could not smile at the immortal god she was talking to. A violet-eyed woman immediately walked away, about three meters from where Hertinoz was standing. She watched the two men who were still in her room.
Hertinoz read the writing on the roll of parchment, then turned to his friend, who was still in the same place. A man with a scary aura looked reluctant, but the caller seemed to understand Nyx’s eldest brother’s heart already, so he needed to explain something to him.
“Havento, please come here. You must also sign this agreement because it is related to your willingness so Goddess Atvertha can give me a blessing to enter the Underworld at any time, and it will be carried out after all matters are finished. If you refuse, then this agreement is considered cancelled.”
A man wearing all black snorted once, then started walking towards a guy he was talking to. Havento occasionally glanced at Atvertha, but when he realised that the girl was also looking at him, he quickly looked away and acted as if everything was fine. On the other hand, Hertinoz held back his laughter because he noticed Havento’s strange behaviour.
“Why is your face like that?” Havento asked when he was beside Hertinoz.
“Ahem. Nothing. You have to sign here,” answered Hertinoz casually. A green-eyed man pointed his index finger to the left, and Havento saw his name and title as an immortal god, just like Atvertha. Without waiting long, the God of the Underworld signed the document.
“Thanks, bro.” Hertinoz was doing the same thing as the immortal god and goddess, but he was doing it in the bottom center, precisely between the girl’s and Havento’s signatures. After everything was finished, a man who was good at negotiating began to raise both hands again, to be precise, on the left and right sides of the parchment roll.
Hertinoz began to move his palm, like a palm-closing movement, so that the scroll of parchment and the two gold-coloured quills disappeared as if everything had gone in there. The man was silent for a moment, then turned to Havento. “We have to leave here as soon as possible. Goddess Avtexia and Lord Helion will soon return to the palace.”
