Lucius's POV

I slammed the door behind me, fury still simmering beneath my skin. Only Gideon and Kael had dared follow me from the chamber. The others were still cleaning up the mess caused by Edward's insolence.

"I told you I didn't want to meet him!" I growled, turning sharply to face the two generals. "You two convinced me to see that miserable man, and for what? More headaches?"

Gideon, ever the optimist, tried to placate me. "Well, on the bright side, we now know a spirit might be here in Decresh."

"'Might' being the key word," I shot back, my voice laced with irritation. "We have no proof. For all we know, Edward could be lying to sow chaos."

Kael sighed, stepping in. "He's a king, Lucius. A detestable one, sure, but he's not stupid enough to fabricate something this serious. A spirit isn't just a threat to your kingdom—it's a threat to his as well."

I clenched my fists. "Are you two even on my side?"

"Of course we are," Gideon replied, his tone calm but firm. "But you need to t

  • Suddenly i became a goddess!   Drinking

    I handed the bottle of alcohol to Kiara, she took it with an ease that unnerved me, tipping it back in one smooth motion. Her throat bobbed as she drank, and in seconds, the cup was empty.I stared, waiting for the inevitable reaction—the grimace, the shudder, perhaps even a cough. But instead, she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, turned to me, and grinned. "Wow, this is amazing. So good and strong. Pour me four more."I blinked, utterly dumbfounded. "What?" I managed, my voice caught somewhere between disbelief and admiration. "You… want more?"Kiara nodded eagerly, her eyes gleaming with challenge. "Four more, Lucius. Don't hold out on me."My confusion deepened. This was no ordinary drink—it was strong enough to make seasoned warriors, like Ryder and Asha, balk after a single gulp. Even I didn't finish it in one go. Yet here she was, a slip of a woman from a different world, demanding more as though it were fruit juice."Not even my generals can handle this," I muttered,

    After the third cup of beer, I held my cup out to Lucius. He raised an eyebrow, then shook the empty bottle in front of me. "Empty," he said with a smirk."Already?" I muttered, blinking at the bottle in surprise. Had I really drunk that much so quickly?Lucius nodded, leaning back casually. "Looks like you're not done, though."I grinned and shrugged. "Not even close.""I'll get more," he said, standing up.Before I could protest, he returned with four bottles, setting them on the rooftop floor with a clink. We poured and drank, one cup after another, until the world began to blur around the edges. At first, I thought I could handle it. After all, I'd had my fair share of strong drinks before. But this beer was on another level.By the fifth bottle, I could feel the effects creeping in—my thoughts were hazy, my head felt light, and my body swayed slightly. "This beer is strong," I slurred, staring at my cup.Lucius chuckled beside me. "Strong enough to bring even the mightiest to the

  • Suddenly i became a goddess!   deadly sins

    Kiara's POVThe moment Lucius left, barely a few minutes passed before the maid who'd been tending to me this whole time arrived, arms laden with trays of food. She was the only one who knew about my presence in Athena's body, which told me just how much Lucius trusted her. She set the dishes down on the small table before me with care, smiling warmly, but I could only stare at the array of ancient-looking foods."What is this?" I muttered under my breath, my modern palate already sceptical.Each one looked strange—alien even—like something crafted by someone who'd never tasted actual food before. "Well," I said to myself, picking up a piece of what looked like bread but felt more like stone, "only one way to find out."As I tasted each dish, the reality became painfully clear. They were terrible. Beyond terrible. Every bite was worse than the last. The flavours were overwhelming in the worst possible way—sour where they shouldn't be, bitter where they didn't have to be.

  • Suddenly i became a goddess!   Decresh

    "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

    The tomb seemed to pulse with a chilling, oppressive energy, the air thick with the spirits' dark magic. Kiara, still in Nihil's unyielding grasp, struggled against the suffocating force.

"You can’t escape, Kiara. You are nothing but a mortal now—nothing more than a pawn in this game."The spirits of sin circled around, as if waiting for the final blow, but Kiara was slipping into a trance. The world around her began to blur, the echoes of Nihil’s voice growing distant.Suddenly, the weight of the moment hit her like a tidal wave. She had been here before.

His presence was suffocating, overwhelming me as he spoke about things I couldn't understand.“You don’t even know who you are anymore,” he murmured, his voice tinged with pain.I clenched my fists, my nails biting into my palms. This was madness.Before I could speak, the woman returned, holding the little girl in her arms. They stepped closer, and I felt the weight of all their stares pressing down on me.The woman’s eyes shimmered with something—relief? Grief? Desperation?Then she stepped forward, her expression softening.“I’m very sorry, my dear.”Her hand reached out, tucking a stray strand of hair behind my ear. It was such an intimate, motherly gesture, and for a split second, my heart ached for something I didn’t understand.“I’ve lost my daughter once,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “I won’t do it again.”I stepped back, panic rising in my chest. “No. No, this isn’t ri

    Kael, Ryder, and Asher were already circling the area, their movements synchronized as they continued the search.But I could feel the weight of the world on my shoulders. Every minute that passed felt like an eternity.“Lucius, she’s out there,” Elena said, her voice surprisingly softer than usual. “We’ll find her. We have to.”I nodded, but inside, the storm raged on. Every second felt like we were losing ground.“Keep looking!” I barked, more forcefully than I meant to. But it didn’t matter. We needed answers. And if I had to tear apart the entire forest to get them, then I would.The moonlight barely reached through the thick canopy above us as we pushed deeper into the woods. Time was running out, and I couldn’t afford to fail her.As we ventured further, the weight of the silence around us seemed to press in harder, almost as if the forest itself were holding its breath.

    Lucius’s POVToday marks the second day since Kiara went missing. The frustration bubbling inside me was barely contained, my patience wearing thinner with each passing second. I had ordered my generals to investigate the Dukes of Decresh, especially Grewald. That bastard had the audacity to threaten me about Kiara before. If anyone had a hand in her disappearance, I was willing to wager it was him.Right now, my men were working on forcing the truth out of him in the palace’s underground torture chamber. The room reeked of sweat, fear, and blood. Dim torches lined the walls, casting long, flickering shadows over the instruments of pain. Grewald was tied to an iron chair, his clothes torn and stained with blood. His once-proud expression was now twisted with pain, but despite it all, he still refused to talk.“Where is she?” My voice was eerily calm as I took slow steps towards him, my boots echoing in the cold chamber.Grewald groaned, his breath ragged. “I… I don’t know what you’re

    Kiara's POV – The Truth UnfoldsThe room was silent, thick with an eerie familiarity I couldn't explain. My breath hitched as I took a small step back, my gaze darting between the four people before me. Their eyes held something I couldn't decipher—pain? Longing? Recognition?But how?My chest rose and fell rapidly. They had called me Athena. And now, this woman, with trembling hands and tear-filled eyes, had just called herself my mother.I shook my head. "No… No, that's not possible." My voice cracked.The woman's fingers tightened around my arm, her touch warm yet desperate. "We can't lose you again. We lost Athena once, and we will not lose you again."Her words made my blood freeze. My throat felt dry, and a dull ringing filled my ears.Again?"You came back home." Her voice was barely a whisper, yet it slammed into me like a tidal wave. "Can't you see? You can't even recognize your own mother?"Mother.I blinked rapidly, my mind screaming at me to make sense of this. "No," I bre

The forest air was thick with damp earth and the sharp scent of pine, but beneath it all, I could feel them.Glutton and Envy were still behind me.I could hear Glutton's heavy footfalls—crushing everything in his path—the snap of twigs, the crunch of dead leaves. He wasn't trying to be quiet. He didn't need to be.Envy, on the other hand, was silent. Too silent. That was the part that terrified me.A low, cruel chuckle slithered through the trees.> "You're fast," Envy's voice came from somewhere behind me. "But not fast enough."Panic surged through me.I pushed forward, my body screaming in protest. My throat was dry, my breath ragged, but I knew what would happen if I stopped. They'd take me.
