"Yes, Goddess Athena," she said. Many believed she was the reincarnation of Goddess Enhui herself. Others claimed she was the second goddess sent to Earth to protect humanity from the spirits of sin. Legend has it that Athena emerged from Lake Gayank—born of its mystical waters—and even as a child, her power was unmatched.

Her story intertwined with that of Prince Lucius, a banished royal from Decresh. King Baeon had deemed him weak and unworthy, unable to generate energy like the other royals. Cast out and disgraced, Lucius wandered until he met Athena. She took him under her wing, becoming both his master and his source of power. Athena allowed him to draw energy directly from her, which ultimately linked him to the lake itself. This bond transformed him into a force no one could stand against.

Over time, Lucius fell deeply in love with Athena. Together, they returned to Decresh, where he seized the throne, banished his brothers, and ruled with unmatched strength. After the deaths o

    "Fine" then I turned to Lucius and signalled him to leave the room so I could change. He smirked, his gorgeous lips curling with mischief."Are you aware that's my wife's body and not your real body?" he teased, leaning casually against the doorframe. "So, I might as well stay and watch you change."I gave him a hard glare, crossing my arms. "Get out, Lucius."He chuckled softly, a low, irritating sound that made my skin prickle. "Okay, feisty cat," he said, still grinning as he finally stepped out.Once alone, I quickly changed into the dress he'd given me. It was simpler than I expected but surprisingly comfortable and flattering. As I adjusted the hem, I noticed the hat he'd left behind—a long, ancient-style black hat. I placed it on my head, realizing it didn't cover my face entirely but would help me blend in.When I opened the door, Lucius was waiting outside, his expression calm but unreadable. Beside him stood a tall, imposing man with a scar running down his face. He looked

    But, oh, wrong I was. The atmosphere shifted.A group of striking women entered the room, their robes of red and white clinging to their curves, with just enough skin exposed to draw every pair of eyes in the room. Their presence was magnetic, commanding attention, and as they glided gracefully through the inn, they made their way toward Lucius and the other well-dressed men seated nearby.One of them, bold and confident, leaned over Lucius, her chest brushing his shoulder as she smiled coyly. He tensed but didn't flinch. The look in his eyes as he turned to her was hard and final."No," he said firmly, his voice low and unyielding. "I have a wife."And then he did something that made my heart skip—a small, unintentional betrayal of logic. He reached for my hand. His fingers wrapped around mine with a possessiveness that sent a jolt through me, even though I knew he wasn't truly talking about me. He wasn't. And yet, the word wife echoed in my head like the chime of a bell, resonating

    His hands were still gripping me, firm yet trembling, as though he was caught in some internal conflict. Then, slowly, he released me."What's wrong?" I asked, my voice soft but steady. I needed to understand what had just happened, why his energy felt so charged, so restless.Before Lucius could answer, Kaell stepped in, his tone cautious. "Some spirits broke loose. Everyone thought it was chaos. We… thought they were coming for you. You know, you."The weight of his words sank into me, and I turned to Lucius, my heart sinking with guilt. The apology came out almost instinctively. "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to—""Just promise me," Lucius interrupted, his tone sharp but not unkind, as if he was struggling to maintain his composure. "Promise me you won't leave my side for the rest of the night. No matter what happens."His gaze locked with mine, unyielding and filled with something I couldn't quite name—was it fear? Concern? Something more? I nodded, swallowing hard. "I promise.""Go

    The tarot reader's piercing gaze lingered on me, her expression a blend of confusion and intrigue. "I thought you said she wasn't Athena," she murmured, her voice low yet sharp, as though speaking to herself. Her eyes flicked between Lucius and me, probing for answers. "The energy that surged between us... it's extraordinary. Like touching the essence of something divine."Lucius's jaw tightened, his stance becoming defensive. "She's not Athena," he replied firmly, though his tone carried an edge of uncertainty. "She may carry remnants of her essence, but—""That's just it!" the woman interjected, her voice rising with excitement. "A goddess—or anyone with divine power—cannot have their future or past read. The threads of fate refuse to unravel for them. The same thing is happening with her." She gestured toward me, her expression sharp with revelation. "This isn't about her body. It's the soul."Lucius hesitated, then spoke cautiously, doubt evident in his tone. "Perhaps it's because

    "By the gods, you vex me"I laughed, shaking my head. "Now that's some ancient curse," I said, amused, as he dragged me back to the carriage.Lucius turned to me with a look of bemused frustration. "You really have a way of getting things to go your way. Is that how you always are? In your time? In your world?""Pretty much," I replied with a shrug. "A lot of people complain about my habits, but hey, I don't always get what I want. Sometimes it just works out in my favor."He snorted, shaking his head. "I pity those people. You're damn insufferable.""Can't argue with that," I said with a grin.The carriage jostled as it rolled on, the conversation fading into a companionable silence. After what felt like an hour, the carriage finally came to a stop. The air outside was frigid, damp, and heavy, the stillness making the place feel otherworldly.Lucius stepped out first, extending a hand to me. "Stay close," he said firmly, his tone serious. "Don't leave my side, not for a second. This

    Lucius's POV"My pupil..." The words danced off her lips, soft but undeniable. My heart jolted at the sound. Kiara had said it—my pupil. The same words Athena always called me.For a moment, I wasn't sure if it was truly her. Could it be Kiara? Or was this Athena herself, speaking through her? My mind raced back to the years of exile, when I had been banished from my kingdom by my own father. It was Athena who found me, who took me in and trained me. She gave me a purpose, a place in this world when I had none. We always addressed each other formally—"my master" and "my pupil." No one else knew that.And now, Kiara, lying unconscious, had said it. Was it the lake? Was Lake Gagnac drawing out Athena's memories because Kiara was in her body? Or was it something more profound? Had the lake's energy awakened Athena herself within Kiara?There was only one way to know for sure. The thought made my blood pulse with excitement. If it truly was Athena—if she had somehow returned—I had to conf

    I pushed the door open, my pulse racing. There she was, sitting upright on the bed, though she looked like a ghost of herself—pale and fragile, her hands gripping the edges of the blanket as if holding on for dear life. Relief and a thousand questions battled in my chest.I stepped closer, my boots muffled against the thick carpet. Her eyes met mine, hazy but searching, and the faintest crease formed between her brows."You're awake," I said, my voice betraying the mixture of relief and urgency I felt.She nodded weakly, her lips parting as though words came to her slowly. "I… I saw something," she murmured, her voice soft but steady enough to command my full attention. "A memory… of me. At the lake." Her fingers tightened on the blanket, her knuckles whitening. "I was there, Lucius. But it wasn't me… was it?"Her gaze pierced through me, a mixture of desperation and confusion swimming in those eyes. "Am I… her?"The air thickened around us. I let the question hang for a moment, my ch

    The next day came and went in a haze. After a restless night, I woke to find Maidservant Tae bustling in with a tray of fruits—watermelon slices and a few other things she'd managed to scavenge for me. At least she remembered I couldn't stomach their food.I ate in silence, my thoughts heavy, while Tae flitted around the room tidying up, her movements brisk and her words clipped. Something in the air felt different today, and I could feel her judgment without her saying a word."You're leaving today," her tone was matter-of-fact, but it hit me like a dull thud.I should have felt elated—relieved even. I was finally going back to my world, to my family, to everything I knew. But instead, a sinking feeling sat in my chest, twisting my insides in a way I couldn't explain.Why did it feel so awful?I shouldn't feel this way. I had my own life, my world. Yet, the thought of leaving brought a lump to my throat.I didn't have long to dwell on it before Ariel burst into the room like a whirlw

    Lucius stepped out of the bathroom, water still dripping from his hair, his eyes narrowing as he wiped his face with a towel. The warm glow of the early morning sun filtered through the thick curtains, but there was something off in the air, something that made the usual peace of the palace feel unsettling.Kiara should have been here by now.His thoughts immediately shifted to the training session. She was always prompt, always eager to push herself. But today, there was no sign of her.He tossed the towel aside and walked toward the door, his movements brisk, his mind already racing. Something wasn't right. He had felt it the moment he stepped out of the bathroom—the absence of her presence.He moved quickly, striding down the hallway, his boots clicking against the marble floor. His eyes scanned every corner, every empty room he passed, his heart starting to quicken with a sense of urgency."Kiara?"The name slipped from his lips almost involuntarily, but the silence that followed

    Veryon's breathing was labored, his eyes darting around as though he expected an attack at any moment. His gaze finally landed on me, softening for a fleeting second before the sharp edge of distrust returned."Kiara," he rasped, his voice hoarse. "I don't have time to explain everything, but you need to listen to me."I stepped back, my fingers tightening around the hilt of my sword. "Veryon, you're hurt—what happened? Let me call Lucius, he can—""No!" he snapped, the desperation in his tone stopping me mid-sentence. He clenched his fists, his entire body trembling. "I don’t trust him. I don’t trust anyone here, Kiara. The only person I trust is you."His words struck me like a blow, and I struggled to process the weight of them. "Me? Veryon, what are you saying? Lucius and the others have been helping me—protecting me—""You don’t understand," he interrupted, his voice breaking slightly. "These walls, this place… they’re suffocating you. The spirits… they will come for you, Kiara.

    The morning light filtered through the curtains, painting soft streaks of gold across the stone walls of my room. I lay still, staring at the ceiling, my body aching from the weight of emotions and responsibilities that had piled up over the past few days.Maidservant Tae's death still lingered in my thoughts, a dull ache in my chest that refused to fade. It wasn't just his loss—it was the ripple effect it caused, the reminder of how fragile everything was. I had been trying to find my footing, trying to recover, but it felt like every step forward was met with another obstacle.Lucius, ever the dutiful protector, had brought Yuva and Layla to my side. They were capable, sharp, and intimidating in their own right, but their constant vigilance only added to the tension surrounding me. They barely spoke, their focus always on their duties, and the awkwardness between us hung in the air like an invisible wall.Elena, on the other hand, was my saving grace. Her sarcastic jokes and infecti

    The room was heavy with tension as the duke who spoke placed the lantern on the table. It sat there, unassuming yet brimming with the weight of history. I stared at the object, my green eyes narrowing as unease settled over me."This is one of the lanterns Athena used to trap spirits," the duke declared, his voice steady yet charged with excitement. "After her death, they were believed to be lost or destroyed. But here it is—an artifact of unimaginable power, Your Majesty."I reached forward, running my fingers over the intricate carvings etched into its surface. The faint glow emanating from it was almost imperceptible, like the dying embers of a once roaring fire."It's powerless," I said, placing the lantern back down with a decisive thud."Yes," the duke admitted reluctantly. "Its power has faded, but it can be reawakened—if the goddess, Athena, wills it."My jaw tightened at their words. "She's not ready," I replied flatly, meeting their expectant gazes with a firm, unyielding st

    Lucuis POVAfter carefully tucking Kiara into bed, I quietly left her chambers. The hallway was still and dimly lit, the silence a welcome reprieve from her drunken ramblings. I shook my head, a small smile pulling at my lips as I thought about her antics. She'd be nursing quite the hangover in the morning.By the time I reached my own chamber, exhaustion tugged at me. The alcohol I'd consumed on the rooftop added a slight haze to my senses, though I'd been careful not to drink too much. As I closed the door behind me, ready to collapse into bed, I froze. Kael was standing in the middle of the room, his arms crossed and his expression unreadable."Don't you ever sleep?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.He smiled faintly, brushing off the remark. "Your Highness, the Dukes of Decresh have suddenly called for an impromptu meeting tomorrow morning," he said, his tone serious.I frowned, already uninterested. "Tell them to wait," I said dismissively, moving toward my bed.Before I could

    The burial of Tae was silent, too silent. I couldn't shake the emptiness that settled deep within me, the heavy sadness that clung to my every step. We had laid her to rest, but it didn't feel like enough. Nothing would ever feel like enough. I stood there, barely able to hold myself together, watching as they covered her with earth. There was something so final about it, something that made the weight on my chest even heavier.When we finally returned to the palace, I didn't even notice the halls as I walked past them. My feet seemed to move on their own, dragging me toward my chambers. I needed to be alone, to breathe, to think—though I wasn't sure what there was left to think about.I closed the door behind me softly, the silence almost suffocating. The space felt too big, too empty, even though it was filled with everything I would need. I dropped onto the bed, feeling the exhaustion catch up to me in waves. Everything felt off, like my mind was scattered, torn between grief, conf

    Wrath wasted no time as he hauled Veryon's unconscious body over his shoulder, his movements swift and methodical."Where do we hide him?" Gluttony muttered, gnawing on his nails anxiously. "We can't leave him out in the open!""Over there." Wrath gestured sharply to a shadowed corner where jagged rocks jutted out like teeth. Without hesitation, he tossed Veryon's limp body into the crevice, covering him with nearby debris to obscure him from sight. The others exchanged nervous glances, their usual bravado replaced by a growing fear.And then it happened. The air shifted, heavy and oppressive. A cold, dark energy seeped into the room, making the already dim surroundings feel suffocating. Pride straightened immediately, his usual arrogance faltering as he muttered, "He's here."The room fell silent as Nihil's presence grew stronger. A figure emerged from the shadows—a towering being, cloaked in an aura of malevolence that made even Wrath take a step back. His eyes glowed with an otherw

    Lust hit the ground first, her body scraping against the jagged, dark terrain. She barely felt the pain, too consumed by the chaos swirling around them. The portal had been a mistake. They were supposed to bring Kiara, but instead, they had pulled in a stranger—this mage, this Veryon.Lust's sharp gaze flickered to the others as they slowly rose from the ground, just as confused, just as enraged. They had all expected Kiara to be there, not him. Their plans were in ruins before they even had a chance to begin."What is this?" Lust's voice was a hiss, barely controlled. "This isn't Kiara. This is nothing but a mage."Veryon groaned, pushing himself upright, blood trickling down his forehead. He looked every bit the part of a man who'd been thrown through hell and back, but he wasn't broken—not yet."I'm not your pawn," he spat, barely able to stand.The others loomed around him like shadows, each one distinct, their very presence oppressive. Lust's hands clenched into fists. She had fa

    "Maybe it's better that he's gone." Lucius's cold words pierced through the heavy silence, each syllable laced with a detachment that made my blood boil."What?" I choked out, barely able to believe what I was hearing. My chest tightened, my grief momentarily replaced by rage.Lucius met my gaze, his expression unyielding. "We need to focus on how that spirit got into the palace. That's the priority now.""What are you saying?" I demanded, my voice trembling with emotion. "What do you mean we won't save Veryon? He's your brother, Lucius!""He's a disturbance," Lucius replied coldly. "He's always been a disturbance. I've been trying to rid this palace of him for days. And now, it's finally happened."My hands clenched into fists. "You're lying," I said, my voice breaking. "You don't mean that.""I do," Lucius shot back. "You should be glad he's gone. He's been nothing but trouble, especially to you.""No!" I shouted. "You don't get to decide that!.Lucius's eyes narrowed, his voice dro
