Chapter 99
"I order you to tell me your story."
"That"s not fair~!" Aria groaned. "Fine. I will tell you, but first, promise me that you won"t get angry."
"Why would I get angry at your story?" Zach asked with a puzzled and confused look on his face.
Aria was scared to tell her story to Zach because she was afraid that Zach might cast her away or, worse, hate her.
Aria cleared her throat and started telling her story: "So the G.o.ds were ruling over different worlds. Each G.o.d had their own world to rule, their own universes. However, they wanted to expand their reach. So they created two G.o.ddesses."
"You and your sister?" Zach guessed.
Aria quietly nodded and continued, "My sister— Erza and I, we created a universe, different from all the universes. We wanted to do something new so—"
Aria stopped when she noticed a shocked expression on Zach"s face.
"Should I continue?" Aria asked hesitantly.
"Yeah, go ahead."
"In the other worlds, the G.o.ds created the races for one sole purpose." After a brief pause, Aria said, "To wors.h.i.+p them."
"None of the races had their own free will. They were like the prisoners of the G.o.ds. However, my sister and I wanted to do something else, something new. Thus, we created a race that had its own will and thoughts, which could evolve and survive in any circ.u.mstances. We called them a perfect race."
"Wait… you are the one who created humans…?" Zach asked with a baffled expression on his face.
"There is more, so save your surprise for that," Aria remarked and said, "We watched over the humans and witnessed them evolve, but it was too slow. So my sister and I decided to take a nap."
"However, when we woke up thousands of years later, the humans had changed. We had no idea what was going on, and their population had increased by a million folds. So…" Aria looked into Zach"s eyes and said, "We decided to create more G.o.ds to watch over them."
"..."
"My sister created six G.o.ds, and I created six G.o.ddesses. And… they are the ones who did all this c.r.a.p," Aria sighed. "But it"s not our fault. After we created them, we gave all the responsibility to them. When we woke up after our next slumber, we saw the humans had divided into different religions. But that wasn"t the shock. The G.o.ds we created had become strong too."
"As we had given them the responsibility, we had divided their authorities. So they had to vote on every decision they made."
"And then they exiled you?" Zach guessed in a solemn voice.
Aria nodded and continued, "And without the heavens, our powers stopped growing."
Zach raised his brows and asked, "How long has it been since then?"
"I am not exactly sure but… maybe around 80 thousand years…?" Aria responded in a calm tone.
"What happened to your sister?" Zach asked with a knowing look on his face.
"When I woke up after getting exiled, my sister wasn"t there with me. Then one day, she visited me in my dream and told me she had been living with humans. But… I never heard from her again," Aria replied with a sad look on her face.
"..."
"I searched for her for thousands of years, but…" Aria sighed and said, "I don"t want to talk about it."
Aria averted her gaze and repeatedly glanced at Zach from the corners of her eyes before asking, "Are you angry?"
"Why would I be angry?"
"I am the one who created the G.o.ds, so it"s my fault," Aria a.s.serted. "If we hadn"t—"
"If you say it like that, then you have done a lot of great things by creating humans," Zach scoffed. "You are like a mother to all the humans, aren"t you?"
Aria frowned her face and said, "Then with that sense, you are my son, and Aurora is my daughter."
"Uhh… let"s not think about it," Zach uttered with a disgusted look on his face. "But by that logic, the G.o.ds you created are your real sons and daughters."
After that, they left Aria"s domain.
"Thanks for today," Zach thanked Aria and opened the door to leave Aria"s room.
"I would appreciate it if you stop breaking into my room at night," Aria remarked.
Zach scoffed at Aria and retorted, "I know you purposely leave it unlocked so I can break-in."
"Get out now. I need some sleep."
Zach left Aria"s room and closed the door behind him.
Aria laid down on the bed and grabbed the blanket. She curled up with the blanket and muttered with a flushed face, "Why am I happy? What is this feeling?"
"I wanted him to leave me alone, but now that he left, I feel lonely…"
"I know you love him!" Aria recalled what Aurora had told her at the inn.
"That"s impossible…" Aria uttered in a low voice. "We G.o.ds are unable to love because we have to treat everyone equally. We can"t favor one over another. Nor can we hate anyone."
"Although we can get angry and sad, we can"t love or hate anyone…" she added.
"But… why does my heart flutter when I see him?" Aria asked herself. "I think it"s the effect of our pact."
Aria let out a deep sigh as she turned to the other side of the bed and uttered, "This master-servant relations.h.i.+p is more troublesome than I had thought."

The next morning.
Zach opened his eyes to see Aurora staring at him with a smile on her face.
"Good morning," she said with a bright face.
Zach moved his face closer to Aurora and kissed her on the lips before saying, "Good morning."
Aurora was left speechless by the good morning kiss.
"What"s wrong?" Zach smirked at Aurora and said, "Do you want one more?"
Aurora nodded without saying anything.
Zach got on top of Aurora and teased her by rubbing his thumb on her lips.
"You are heavy…" Aurora uttered while staring into Zach"s eyes with an alluring gaze.
Zach licked his lips and said, "If you look at me like that, I will do some questionable things to you."
"Oh?"
"You have no idea that you are playing in the demon"s lap. I will steal your innocence, princess."
"Go ahead," Aurora said with a mischievous smile on her face.
Zach knitted his brows and placed his hand on Aurora"s chest after saying, "I will do it."
Aroura"s face flushed a little, but she didn"t flinch.
Zach cooped the feel of Aurora"s b.r.e.a.s.t.s and then squeezed them gently.
Aurora"s face flushed red as she pushed Zach down the bed.
"I am sorry!" Aurora apologized as she helped Zach to get up.
"It"s fine. Don"t worry about it." Zach walked to the door while smirking and said, "I was just testing your commitment."
"I will also test your commitment by touching you one day," Aurora remarked.
Zach shrugged his hands and said, "I am ready anytime."
Zach opened the door to see Aria standing there with her ear placed on the door.
"...." Zach shook his head in disbelief and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Well... you two were being all lovey-dovey yesterday, so I was expecting to hear moans at night." Aria looked into Zach"s room and inspected the bed with her eyes before saying, "But I guess nothing happened."
Zach walked out of the room and uttered, "Stop acting like a pervert."
After that, they got ready while Aria made breakfast.
When they were eating breakfast, Zach glanced at Aria and uttered inwardly: "If her sister"s name is Erza, then there is a high chance that she is my…"
Zach sighed before completing his sentence and thought, "So that means… I am married to my aunt."
"So the G.o.ds are my brothers and sisters, and this all just turned into a... family brawl."
