— Elarith-sama, it's time!
Elarith? Who's that?
Oh, right. That's me. My original name in the Divine Realm.
But what's with all this glitter and excitement? Is someone getting married?
The fairies fluttered around me, kindly guiding me toward the entrance of the grand hall.
Strangely, every gaze was fixed on me — like I was the main character of some celestial drama.
And then I saw him.
Myrith.
His golden eyes locked on mine, his platinum hair longer than I remembered, his presence radiant yet impossibly gentle.
We were born from the same star — bound by the same thread of fate.
Elarith, Goddess of Destiny, was tasked with writing the fates of all beings — from the highest deities to the smallest flickers of mortal light.
And Myrith, the Crown Prince of the Divine Realm, was destined to lead every form of life toward prosperity.
Together, they were united by Divine Union — an unbreakable bond that would last for eternity.
— I accept! — I said, smiling brighter than a newborn sun.
Probably the happiest day of my entire divine life.
— I accept, — he replied softly, voice steady and sincere.
Ah. So this was… my wedding?
But happiness, as it turns out, doesn't last forever — not even in heaven.
— Why can't you understand, Myrith? They're suffering! We need to help them!
I insisted again and again, pleading for the lesser realms, for those struggling souls whose cries echoed through my heart day and night.
But Myrith wasn't emperor yet — there were things even he couldn't change.
— I understand, I do. Please, listen to me, Elarith—
— No, you listen to me! This can't go on! I can't take it anymore!
Their voices, their pain — it never stopped.
— I'll speak to my father again, he said, pulling me into his warm embrace.
— Please, just calm down. We'll find a way to help them... to help you.
His arms were comforting, but words couldn't silence the cries I heard.
And when no news came… I made the worst mistake of my divine existence.
I went to seek an audience on my own.
That was the first time destiny began to turn against its own writer.
