Chapter 9

Author: Sundream
One month later, I was formally crowned Queen at the Fire Temple.

The banners of the Sun Palace and the Fire Temple rose together, and inside the hall stood two thrones of equal height.

My three brothers came too.

Orion had resigned from his acting divine office and gone to guard the border. Pyron had compiled every misunderstanding from the mirror into a book, writing a belated apology on every page. Zephyros had picked golden roses and waited outside the Fire Temple for seven days.

  • The Day I Married the Fire God, Three Brothers Regretted It   Chapter 9

    One month later, I was formally crowned Queen at the Fire Temple.The banners of the Sun Palace and the Fire Temple rose together, and inside the hall stood two thrones of equal height.My three brothers came too.Orion had resigned from his acting divine office and gone to guard the border. Pyron had compiled every misunderstanding from the mirror into a book, writing a belated apology on every page. Zephyros had picked golden roses and waited outside the Fire Temple for seven days.I didn't see them.They once believed I could never leave my brothers behind, so after every act of favoritism, they assumed there would always be time to make up for it. But disappointment is like water dripping on the same spot. Eventually, it wears through even the bond of family.A servant brought me the golden roses Zephyros had left.I glanced at them and had them planted in the garden outside the temple.I didn't destroy them. I didn't forgive anyone because of them either.Before the coronation beg

    The Solar Mirror hung at the highest point of the Sun Palace.Anywhere touched by sunlight left a trace within the mirror.My three brothers knelt outside the main hall for an entire night.At dawn the next day, Apollo finally opened the mirror.The first image showed Daphne giving me an old hairpin.I gave her a string of sun crystals in return.Right before Orion walked in, she suddenly pressed the hairpin into my hand, dropped to her knees with tears in her eyes, and said she was willing to offer her mother's keepsake to the princess of the Sun Palace.My three brothers only saw her kneeling, and immediately assumed I had bullied her into giving it up. I had explained. They didn't believe me.The second scene was the first time she went with them to the Sunset Cloud Sea.She knew my curse had flared up, yet she took Zephyros's hand."Helias is in pain every day because of her curse. Maybe today she just can't bear to see you spending time with me."Because of that, Zephyros didn't g

    Three days after the wedding, Orion came to the Northern Realm.He brought everything I had left behind at the Sun Palace.My old crown and my old ceremonial gown.The dowry my mother had prepared.And even golden roses they had transplanted from the Sunset Cloud Sea."We were wrong that day."But we never meant to drive you away, Helias."How could we let you come here and suffer? It should've been Daphne all along!"Come back with me. Father and Mother miss you. The Sun Palace is your home."I asked him coldly, "If the bride really had been Daphne, would you still think you were wrong?"Orion fell silent.I answered for him."No."You only regret getting the bride wrong. You don't regret giving her my things, and you don't regret choosing to believe her every single time."Just then, Pyron and Zephyros rushed in.Zephyros clutched a message sigil in his hand."Daphne is missing. She claims you sent someone to tell her that if she didn't leave the palace, Father would send her back to

    After the ceremony, Hephaestus brought me to the Fire Temple in the Northern Realm.Golden lava flowed between black mountains, and on either side grew flowers that divine fire could never burn.The temple attendants lined up to welcome me, addressing me respectfully as the lady of the Fire Temple.No one feared me for coming from the Sun Palace, and no one treated my curse as a bid for attention.I looked at his wheelchair and hesitated."Should I call the attendants for you?"His eyebrow twitched."What for?"The next second, he gripped the armrests and slowly rose to his feet before me.I stood there, stunned.His steps were slightly slower than normal, but far from the crippled state the rumors described."The Titan War did injure my legs, but they healed two hundred years ago."The gods involved in the rebellion haven't all been found yet. Letting them think I'm helpless makes a lot of things easier."He raised his hand and ignited pale blue divine fire. The entire temple trembled

    In an instant, a powerful force drew me to the center of the great hall.There before me was the Fire God of legend, Hephaestus.I placed my hand in his.His hand carried the warmth of divine fire, yet it didn't burn me.We descended slowly to the center of the Sunset Cloud Sea, and every guest rose to their feet.My three brothers stood frozen.The veil on Daphne's head was blown aside by the wind, revealing a face drained of color.Orion was the first to recover."This has to be a mistake."He stepped in front of the chariot, his voice tight."Helias just had a little argument with us. She can't possibly go to the Northern Realm. She could never marry you."Hephaestus looked up at him coolly."Who are you?"Orion's face changed.As heirs to divine domains, they obviously knew each other. Everyone understood Hephaestus's real question: what gave Orion the right to speak for the bride?Pyron rushed over to me."Helias, do you have any idea how serious a marriage contract is?"Was it wo

    On the day of the wedding, the Sun Palace blazed with golden light that illuminated all three realms.Gods from every corner arrived one after another, and the Sunset Cloud Sea was adorned with obsidian and fire lilies sent from the Northern Realm.Apollo had gone to the Temple of Fate to receive the marriage contract. Eos was still in seclusion. The wedding hall was temporarily run by my three brothers.I put on the wedding gown Hephaestus had sent in advance and prepared to head for the Sunset Cloud Sea.The hem bore no elaborate divine patterns of the Sun Palace, only clusters of tiny golden flowers that divine fire could never burn.I had barely reached the corridor when divine guards brought by Orion blocked my path.His face darkened the moment he saw what I was wearing."Where do you think you're going dressed like that?""To my wedding."Pyron held up a strip of shredded sun-gold gauze."Daphne's wedding veil was just destroyed."Zephyros stared hard at me."A handmaiden said t
