All Chapters of Suddenly i became a goddess!: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

"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

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

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

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

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
