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

  • Suddenly i became a goddess!   Failure

    Lucius's POVWe were back at the cornerstone of my palace, the same place where we performed the last ritual, and here we were again. The chamber was vast, dimly lit by the flicker of hundreds of candles arranged meticulously around the room. Their light reflected off the ancient relics we'd gathered—each one holding a specific purpose, each one essential for what we were about to attempt.In the center of it all lay Athena's sword, radiating a faint, otherworldly glow. It was the focal point of the ritual, the key to unlocking the energy we needed to send Kiara back to her world. Last time, the ritual had drained prophetess kim nearly to the brink of collapse. This time, we would take no such risk. Athena's sword would be both our source of power and our safeguard. One of the relics—a crystalline orb carved with intricate runes—was designed to channel the energy directly from the sword into the ritual, sparing us from the backlash.Every detail had been accounted for. Every precautio

    As they blindfolded me, a strange mixture of emotions swirled in my chest. I was being led to the place where they intended to perform the ritual, and though I couldn't see, I could feel the shift in the air. The aura changed the moment I crossed into the room—a heavy, overwhelming presence that was both familiar and unsettling.I felt it. I couldn't explain how, but I knew. The sword was there.They guided me to kneel, placing me at the center of something significant, though my blindfold dulled the specifics. My hands brushed the cool surface of the floor, and my heartbeat quickened. I wasn't just anxious—I was sad. Knowing this was the last time I'd be here, the last time I'd feel this strange world, or see… him.Lucius.Even blindfolded, I knew he was nearby. His presence was undeniable, commanding even in silence. And despite myself, I hated the thought of leaving him behind.

    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. Her body was battered, her energy almost depleted, but there was something deep within her—a spark—flickering with the strength of the goddess she once was."Let me go," Kiara rasped, her voice barely a whisper, but the words carried a strength beyond her physical form.Nihil’s grip tightened. "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. This wasn’t just a fight against Nihil—it was a battle she had fought countless times in her past, in a time long forgotten.The memories sur

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?

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.
