The Moon Goddess and Her Mate novel Chapter 4

Meanwhile, in a palace in the sky,

A slender woman was sitting on a bench in the library room, rereading all the parchments that had contained teaching materials from her mother. While trying to concentrate, suddenly the memory of a handsome man who had been dying in the forest, but had been rescued, and then placed in a cave, began to appear in his mind, so Atvertha immediately shook her head several times.

"No. It is not right. I can't think about the mortal, because we are different. I am a goddess and it is an enormous difference between me and him," murmured the moon goddess.

The pale-faced girl began to focus her attention on the parchment again, but the same man's expression returned. This made Atvertha flabbergasted, then accidentally hit a bottle, so that it fell to the floor, and spilt its black liquid contents. The sun goddess, who had just entered the room, saw her only daughter, who looked a little panicked.

The wife of God Helion observed what her daughter was doing, so curiosity arose in her heart. She also walked closer to Atvertha, who was chanting a spell, so that she could clean up the black ink that had spilt on the floor. “Clenantho!”

Before long, the stain from the black liquid used for writing finally disappeared, leaving the floor clean again, as if nothing had happened there. However, the violet-eyed girl had not yet realized that there was another goddess in the room. “Atvertha, what are you doing?”

The probing question surprised the owner of the name, so she turned her head to the source of the sound. Atvertha was as soon as possible flabbergasted, and her mother clearly saw this. Goddess Avtexia's gaze was piercing. The atmosphere in the library became awkward because the sun goddess was observing the virgin goddess's every move.

“What are you doing, Atvertha? Why are you even being so careless? Has something happened that you have experienced such a thing?”

"I-I—”

The sharp gaze of the other person made the girl who had started to feel strange things for the mortal male she had saved, unable to finish her words. The awkward atmosphere was clearly felt so that in the room there was a very real silence.

Twelve minutes later

"Well. Before we move on to the next material. Have you ever wondered why you, who were born by a parent who was a god, and, of course, a goddess, still have to learn about everything? Including learning about spells and everything related to the area that will be mastered when it is fully released to you. Am I right?” The silver-haired woman who was speaking in front of the library asked the moon goddess a question.

"That's right, Mom. I thought about it for a while.” The violet-eyed girl answered the question. There are doubts when saying and agreeing with what has been said by her mother, who is her guiding teacher all this time.

"Good."

The sun goddess seemed to be nodding, but the woman who had lived longer still had suspicions in her heart, especially regarding the events of a while ago. The only daughter who began to feel strange things spontaneously looked down so that her face would not be seen clearly.

"You still have to learn, because you do not know everything. You are still young. Your age might be two hundred and seventy years old now. However, in the human world, it was equivalent to twenty-seven years. You do not have experience with anything, especially regarding spells, power, and mortals." When she said the last words, Goddess Avtexia deliberately pressed her, as if she wanted to give her only daughter a hidden message.

The young woman did not dare to say anything, so she chose to remain silent. Silence fell between the two of them. I hope mom does not know that I had time to come down to earth to save humans. If only mom knew ... she might be killing me immediately, thought Atvertha, who kept trying to be as natural as possible.
