Chapter 109: A God Named Sin

RoyalsWords: 3789

"You call yourself a god, but all you have ever done is sin. How do you justify that?"

A voice, low and deadly, filled with a hunger that had spanned millennia, answered her from the shadows.

“Because, darling, I am the God of Sin.”

A tyrant who would go to any length to keep her.

A king who would sacrifice everything for her.

A ruler who would wield his power to obtain her.

They call themselves gods, but they are little more than sins in disguise. And all of them searched for the power to set them free—or to break them—the one thing that holds the key to their salvation, or their doom.

Only time would tell if they find it.

Hello lovely people! I know this is not the update you guys were hoping for but I did put it on my message board that a new surprise is coming for you in November!

Check out my new story!

Here's a small excerpt for tease:

🌜🌛🌜🌛🌜🌛

"I don't know what I was thinking coming here to you for help. I thought you were different but it was all a lie! You lied to me!" I couldn't believe I had come to him for help.

Wasn't my recent streak of luck enough to understand that I would never get any help?

I would always have to the one to hell myself. There was no one who could help me.

Especially not him.

He brushes his hair off his forehead and takes a step towards me with extended hand but I instinctively take a step back.

I couldn't trust him.

Not after what I just heard.

"Aahin, I never lied to you" he spoke in that calm voice of his but it did not make me the same ease and calm it did a few days ago.

It only grated on my nerves that he could be so calm when his secret got exposed.

I mean he was definitely not planning on me finding out about this today. Or ever for that matter.

"No. You lied to me. From the get go. Ever since the day we met, you've only lied to me" I shook my head in disbelief.

I should have been more careful. I should have seen the signs.

Now that I think back on it, there were so many!

The waft of flowers everywhere we went. The clear skies even when the world seemed gloomy. The constant breeze that followed him like a companion even on hot days where the hint of wind was scarce to get by.

I was so dumb.

I felt tears prick my eyes but I was not going to cry in front of him. He didn't deserve my tears.

"Aahin, I have never once lied to you. Ever since the day we met at the flower shop, I have always been honest. Never have I even given the impression I am someone else than who I really was" he justifies but the air around us seem cooler than it did before.

Was it really the case or was he manipulating it against my benefit?

"So what I heard was not the truth? You are not the master of air? You weren't just having a discussion with the master of fire? You haven't been tasked to take me to the night court? You are not in alliance with the God of destruction?" I fire my questions without hesitation.

Alas, what did I have to lose anyway?

"Aahin, you never asked me if I was the master of air. You never asked me any questions regarding the courts or the realms or their masters and Gods" he answered as if that was the end of the conversation.

"So this is my fault for not asking the right questions? Are you for serious right now?" I couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Here, all this time, I thought we were friends" my voice cracked at the end, betraying me like he did today.

"I am-"

"No you're not. Don't you ever call me your friend. And I will never go with you or anyone else to any other court. So you can tell your king or God or whoever he is, that he can have my dead body before he can claim me"
