My name is Gloria...
I'm not a naughty child..
I don't have anger issue but I've grudge issue..
Anyway Mama say I'm a good child. I was born on 33 heaven form the king & queen of gods. But Mama always say Dad is not a good man to idolize in my young mind...
Mama says...
"Darling... your dad is a good king, general or whatever good thing he is.... remember... he's not a good material for husband.. don't say I'll marry a man like dad when I grow up....ever..."
"Why Mama?"
"Your dad already has three wives when he pursued me... Saying he didn't love them and I'm his true love.. He pushed the original wives aside and gave me the queen's crown.."
" Even if I'm the benefited one, it's not the right thing to do... Even if they have no complaint, it's not fair... Why did he get marry if he didn't love them? Shouldn't he wait his true love if he can't live without it? Why should he still want true love if he's already married?"
"And he said to me that he gave them the titles because they're already married to him... but he won't ever touch them again... how laughable "
"Why should he deprive them of husband to rely on? On what basic? He is the one who cheated but they're being punished...Becoming widows with husband... alive"
Mama said she has both love and disdain for dad. Love his unwavering love ever since he said "I love you" to her but disdain & disgust his unfaithfulness to his marriage..
"What if it's me in their place? What if it's me that have to endure this unfair treatment?He didn't divorced them but he abandoned them physically and spiritually..You know darling, I'll just kill him and become a real widow..."
Actually, it's normal for nobel and powerful people to have a lot of wives, husbands, concubines, lovers or whatever here in heaven or mortal worlds(regardless of gender).
It's all about merits & position in heaven... and.. it's all about money & position in mortal realm..
Therefore, it's perfectly normal for dad himself and his subjects's thinking, he can marry or disregard his wives as long as he can provide and responsible for their needs .... as he was a high ranking noble in mortal realm and king of gods in heaven...
But Mama is not the normal one...
She was also the high ranking nobel in mortal realm and princess of Asura realm...She has her pride too...
Mama says..
" If I was a man, I can have many wives like your dad...or if not for your dad messing with me, I can still have husbands and concubines like these goddess...I'm also the high ranking nobel too... just like your dad.."
Mama said those words with a gritted teeth...
Mama also says...
"But I'm not like your dad. I won't impose things which I dislike on others... I'm believer of faithfulness in marriage... A pair of lovers..for a life time.. I just want to be the only wife of commoner than the one of the many wives of king.."
" But I'll never be....."
Yes...ever since dad's love bloomed for mama...she had no way out.. I asked..
" Why don't you do the same way to him Mama? Bottling things up is not good for mental health.. "
And Mama glared at me..
"Do you think I don't want to? But your dad is the king of gods. Who in the right mind dare to cuckold your dad? And if I were to cheat, I've to cheat with a better one. I can't lower my standard just to best him... but where is the better one? You say.."
I don't know Mama really mean it or not. She didn't avoid my dad even if he arrived in the middle of her trash talking about him.
The smile pasted on dad's face for his wife cracked. How can he still smile hearing the thoughts of his beloved trying to cuckold him ... as soon as he enter her palace door.. Heartbroken.jpg
" Beloved Queen... If you have dissatisfactions, just vent on me. Don't teach the child crooked. What if she become more willful than you?"
"I'm just teaching my darling how to recognize scum man. Can't teach? Do you want your daughter cheated by a man with a harem? What if this man have too many pieces of heart to love? What if this man have other women before or after he cheated your daughter's heart?"
" Who dare? I will struck that scum with my Thunderbolt Vajra. I'll hack him to pieces. No no...queen...but that doesn't mean you should use me as a teaching material. Please leave me some dignity as a father. okay?"
"Hi..dad"
I flash a smile to my dad. Dad rub my hair and rain down kisses on my face.
I know dad didn't behave this way to any of his children.
Mama says it because dad love her... so he love all the things related to her. And I'm the crystallization of their combined divinity.
My three elder brothers and four elder sisters are born by pregnancy in mortal realm from dad's three wives. But I was born in heaven.
Gods & goddess never get pregnant. They have to combine divinity with their chosen partner to get an offspring.
" Our child is still young. Queen...can't we talk about this slowly? And please don't use me as a negative teaching material again. I've corrected my wrongdoings over three lifetimes... Didn't you say I'm forgiven?.."
Dad sound utterly helpless.
"Forgiven doesn't mean forgotten.. okay? You said you didn't touch anyone but your harem is full of beauties. And the child is still young? I can't prevent you even when my brothers come down to mortal realm and educated me starting from three years old..."
"Except for three consorts, others are just empty titles. You know I've never been to others palaces. Even these consorts have to come to my main palace and they're only allowed to talk about the princes and princess..."
Here we go again..
These useless bickering...
But dad look happy...
He think it's mama's jealousy materialization....
And I only have one greeting sentence in their whole conversation ... Geez..
It hurt my young single heart...
Dad get Mama to formally marry him only in Mama's fourth life... Mama run away from him the whole three lifetimes..
Can't get her love when Mama is the city lord's daughter experiencing mortal life in mortal realm...because he is a married man with three wives..
Dad ascend to heaven after this life...
Therefore, to confuse the king of gods who is searching for her in afterlife...she halted her ascension and asked her father the Asura King to send her to the Beast realm...
But...contrary to her expectations.. that king of gods found her and pester her for a lifetime again..
To make her angrier, her whole kingdom was kicked out of 33 Heaven by this man...The Asura kingdom is the native of 33 Heaven. When the king of gods and his subordinates ascended, they didn't interfere.
The 33 Heaven is vast...
They don't want to occupy the whole realm... The development of these gods is too fast... As they develope, they want the whole realm....
When the two kingdoms became equal, the kingdom of gods started diplomatic relationship with the Asura Kingdom.
The Asuras are immortal race with innate divinity. They don't need ascension to become immortal.They can't be killed but die only when their divinity is used up.
The gods are immortal with merits. They need merits to ascend.They can't be killed but die only when their merits are used up.
Thus, waging wars is useless.The gods from mortal realm are more cunning than the unsuspecting Asuras. They invite the whole upper echelons of Asuras for drinking festival.
The festival last for a week. Nothing happen till the sixth day, so the honest (not) Asuras let the guard down. Then the whole lots of drunk Asuras are kicked down to the lower realm.
Be it Asuras or gods,they can only get down to the lower realm.None can go up...After kicking Asuras down, the king of god took the sole ownership of the realm and closed the connection between the two realm...
When the Asuras wake up from their drunken state, the whole kingdom have to rebuilt at the lower realm.
As the man who is pursuing the daughter while tricking her whole kingdom, you can see how deep of a pit my dad dug for himself....
After this lifetime, she hide in mortal realm again...as a daughter of poor potter.
She didn't believe he can find her if she lived in ordinary life...
But...she was... busted...
again...
So she decide to go back to the now Asura realm to seek the protection of the whole family....
After this backstabbing accident, the whole race become more warlike. Because they are divine race and their strength are on par with the gods... the lower realm's ownership fall into the king of Asura...
From then on the whole realm is in closed state with the sign " Dogs and Gods are not allow to enter"..
Then Mama come of age to choose divine champion.
The Asuras choose champion with fate. They send invitations for the ceremony. In the ceremony, the adult female Asura will condense the champion flower with her divine power and throw it across the participants.
If the flower fall into the participant's palm, they're fated....and no one can divide the couple...
Dad sneaked into the princess's ceremony in disguise with the cover of invited guests....snatched the flower....snatched the princess... and run away before anyone can understand what happened...
The championship is protected by the divine law... So Mama had no choice but to marry that enemy of her whole kingdom....
After that marriage, Asura royal family can do nothing. But the father-in - law and four brother- in - laws swear to annoy this bastard.
So the kingdom of gods have to engage in small scale war in every three or five days...They fight in a drop of the hat...
And that king of gods had to accept the challenge of his five in - laws and get beaten up occasionally.... it's not painful or itchy but really really annoying...
Who else can he even blame? It's retribution...
He got what he paid for..
As a creation of combined divinity, I'm the native of 33 heaven...
Means...I don't need to ascend or descend...
But 33 heaven's power system relied heavily on merits. There is no innate gods and goddess like greek system. You need merits to ascend.
Gods & goddess are territorial...
The titles, power, positions and accommodations all depend on your merit. If the merits are insufficient to grant you territory or palace of your own when you ascend, you'll ascend into other god's territory.
Thus become this god's attendant. Your merits determine your position. Be it maids, dancers, guards or whatsoever....
You can imagine how much merits my dad had to rule the whole realm...
Dad's throne is soul bound artifact that appear automatically after his ascension to kinghood.
And this throne act like pager. Whenever there is something my dad need to pay attention while sitting on the throne, the soft cushion under dad's butt get hard and hot.
You know what?
I feel uncomfortable while thinking of this throne.... I feel like this throne is kinda indecent....improper...
Blink.. blink..
Today this indecent throne is acting up again...
Dad is still not ready to ask the nearby officer for investigation, the messenger come running...
" Your Majesty, your majesty ...urgent... it's urgent "
Look like the messenger is quite frightened. The gods don't have short of breath or a need to calm the heart, but this messenger is really shaken...
"Calm down...what happened?Did my brother - in - laws challenge me again? Since you look quite frightened, did the whole family come? "
The king think hard but find nothing that can scare him...except for that in - law family of his...
" No your majesty... it's the four dukes...the four dukes...they...they..."
The messenger swallow hard. He want to answer the king but start to stutter...
" A new fairy ascend today.. Her ascension place is exactly in the overlapping boundary of the four dukes.."
" It's just a fairy not even goddess. Why does you have to scare that much? Just give her ownership to senior and be done with it.."
"But...but..your majesty..
That fairy is too beautiful... so..so..no one want to give in...and...and.. they are fighting now.."
" What?"
