C8 Goes to The Party with Toghnath

The next day

In front of the palace owned by God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, there were four immortals who were not far from the horse carriage owned by the God of War. A beautiful girl was seen wearing a long elegant dress, standing to the left of a man who was also wearing neat clothes, like he wanted to go to a party.

"Be careful when both of you are on the way, Toghnath. Do not forget to always stay safe, even though we are from the immortal class." A woman with silver hair, but looking mature, seemed to give a message to the black-haired man. Beside her was seen a man wearing a crown on his head and carrying a trident.

"Yes, Goddess Avtexia." The man answered obediently. Meanwhile, the pale-faced girl seemed reluctant to go out together, but it forced her to do so. She chose silence while paying attention to other things because she could no longer pretend to be happy.

"Atvertha." The name's owner, who was looking the other way, was now forced to turn her head because someone was calling her name. It turns out the mother had done such an act, so that the young lady could do nothing about it.

"Yes, Mom?" The young goddess made a comment, but she did it politely.

"Send greetings from us to God Atmenth and his family. Enjoy the party and stay alert." The blue-eyed woman said earnestly so that such a moment made the only daughter wonder. However, she did not dare to ask further.

"Yes, Mom. I will do it." The Moon Goddess promised, even though there were still a million questions in her heart.

"God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, we go first. I will bring Atvertha now and I will return her safely." After getting the approval of the girl's parents' approval, they walked toward the horse carriage as soon as possible. The sun was scorching hot, but it did not seem like a problem for the immortal gods and goddesses who were there.

In less than a minute, the God of War and the Moon Goddess had arrived at the door of the horse carriage. A coachman opened the door so they could enter. The violet-eyed girl went inside first, and Toghnath followed. Not long after, the horse-drawn carriage moved, then left the Atvertha residence.

The girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, stared at the window. Suddenly, the moment when the young lady accidentally saw the mortal male, then flew to earth just to help him, re-emerged in her mind, so the goddess spontaneously shook her head several times. Meanwhile, a man sitting in front of the opposite sex immediately frowned because Atvertha's behavior confused him. "Are you okay, dear?" asked God Toghnath, worried.

Nyx's best friend came to her senses. Then she turned her face to the handsome man who had asked her. "I am okay. Why are you even looking at me like that? Is something wrong?" replied Atvertha with an expressionless expression.

"Yeah. You are acting strange, for suddenly shaking your head to yourself, even though I have said nothing. I thought there was something strange happened to you." The man, who has a height of one hundred and ninety-five centimeters tall, explained, so Atvertha did not dare to comment further.

The atmosphere became awkward because the smart girl directly looked at the window. That male mortal's handsome yet macho face reappeared in the memory, which caused Atvertha could not move. The girl's heart was beating even faster, and this moment was very unsettling for her.

Why am I even thinking about that human again? I should forget him because he might have a wife nor a fiance, but why is it so hard? I do not know what to do. When Nyx asked me whether I was in love with the male mortal or not, why did I even nod to her, huh? Is this really love? I had never felt this feeling before, and I am still confused about it, thought the two hundred-and-seventy-year-old girl.

The horse carriage continued to move towards its destination. There has been no conversation created between Atvertha and Toghnath. The playboy god watched all the actions of the opposite sex in silence, even though the girl did not look at him at all. "Atvertha."

The slender woman turned back to the other person. "Yes? What is it?"

"Do you have any plans for the future?" The amber-eyed man used a soft tone of voice so that girl could fall in love. However, the opposite was true for the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia.

"What do you mean?" The girl who rarely spoke unless there was something to say was surprised, so her brow furrowed. The interlocutor smiled, so Atvertha became even more eager to leave the horse carriage and head straight back to the palace.

"Yeah, you heard right. If you still do not understand, let me make it clear. Do you have any plans for your future?" The man with thick eyebrows said seriously, so that made the girl wary.

"My future? I will replace mom to handle the spell, witchcraft—"

Before the girl could finish her words, the man who had a seductive look, had already cut her off. "You know what I mean, dear. Do you have a mate yet? Immortals like us, will definitely have a partner who comes from the same circle, be it before he becomes a god with full duty or it can be after."

"Why do you ask that? For partner selection, it is my personal business." The image of the male mortal returned so that the intelligent woman became restless so that the feeling of longing mixed with the desire to meet him again became more and more bubbling in Atvertha's heart.

The Lord Toghnath smiled meaningfully, while the Moon Goddess just stared at the interlocutor with a completely expressionless look. "If you do not have a potential partner, then I am the one who volunteered. I will be your future husband's first and last potential candidate. You can ask me anything, and then I will provide it and give that to you. I am serious, Atvertha.”

The pointy-nosed girl said nothing at the moment and turned her attention back to the window. Why would Toghnath even ask that? He made me suspicious. Could it be that the playboy guy was just trying to seduce me like he had been doing all this time? He is older than me, so he should be more serious and take responsibility. Oh, well, I would better ignore that crazy man, Atvertha thought.

Thirty minutes later

A luxurious horse carriage stopped in front of a magnificent pink palace. The coachman opened the door, so the silver-haired woman came out, followed by the God of War. Besides them, many horse-drawn carriages indicated that many guests had come there.

"Come on, let's go in!" invited Toghnath, relaxing. The virgin goddess did not answer at all, because she felt that it was not important to do so.

When he saw the reaction of the female idol who was so cold, the three-hundred-year-old man, without hesitation, took Atvertha's hand, so the girl tried to break free, but it was in vain. They went inside, where many invited guests were already there. When they arrived, all eyes were on the girl who had come with Toghnath, so she became uncomfortable, and chose to pretend not to know.

"Hey, Lord Toghnath! It is nice to see you here!" A stocky man came near the two new guests. He unhesitatingly greeted the God of War in a friendly manner, so the amber-eyed man smiled happily.

"Lord Atmenth, thank you for inviting us here." They shook hands, but the playboy had not yet let go of his hand with a slender woman, so the host became interested in what he was witnessing.

"You are welcome. Ah, Goddess Atvertha has apparently come with you. Nice to meet you here, and welcome to my house, Goddess. Is this a good sign?" The host's expression looked seductive, so the black-haired man chuckled, while the goddess who would later become the Queen of Witches could only remain silent. She kept trying to break free, but to no avail.

"My parents, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, say hi to you, God Atmenth." The woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, was reminded of the message from her parents, so she immediately conveyed it. That god looked a little taken aback, then nodded.

"Thank you, Goddess Atvertha. Please give my regards to them. Please enjoy the party. Excuse me." The God Atmenth left the two of them, then headed towards some of the other guests who had just arrived there.

The beautiful woman looked around. The Moon Goddess was as soon as possible flabbergasted when she saw someone in the distance, who at first glance resembled the male mortal she had saved. However, when Atvertha observed carefully, the man was not the person she was looking for, which made the beautiful and intelligent girl a little sad, but she was not saying it openly.

The burly man stared intently at the opposite sex, so it was not long before Atvertha realized. That girl became uncomfortable and embarrassed at having been noticed by Lord Toghnath. The man who was good at seducing put his lips close to the young lady's ear and asked her, "Shall we dance now, my dear?"
