Nathalia tried her best to regain her usual composure before she spoke in her usual nonchalant tone.
"I know that this might sound crazy, but it is true. You, Aiden Jones, married me, the Queen of Darkness. You are my fated husband given to me by the Moiras. And together, we will rule the underworld. We will share the responsibility of maintaining peace and order within the creatures of the dark. With the ability that I gave you, you can also help me in fulfilling the unfinished business of deceased souls. By doing that, we can earn enough credits to request a cup of water from the Fountain of Life and Death, so you could become an immortal just like me."
Nathalia tried her best to explain everything to Aiden as brief as she could but the information was still too much for Aiden to process.
Which was quite a normal reaction from a mortal like Aiden.
After all, everything that Nathalia just said was indeed shocking and not to say very inconceivable.
Who in their right mind could easily accept that they unknowingly became the fated husband of the infamous Queen of Darkness just a few days after they woke up from a week-long sleep?
Not to mention the thing about ruling the underworld together, maintaining the peace and order, as well as fulfilling the unfinished business of deceased souls.
What is this??? Ghostbuster??!
Then now he was even offered a possibility of being immortal!
That last one sounds to be too good to be true.
Yet somewhere within him could not help but believed everything that he just heard.
Especially when he saw how serious Nathalia was when she said those words. It did not seem to him that the other party was joking at all.
Nathalia knew that everything that she just said was new to Aiden so she could not blame him either for not believing her words right away.
What she could only do was tell him all the truth of everything around him and it was up to him if he wanted to believe it or not.
Aiden also wanted to clear everything out and he knew that the only person or individual who could give him the answers that he was looking for was currently standing before him.
So despite being a little skeptical, he still proceeded into asking Nathalia to patched up all the information that was swirling in his mind right now.
"Okay, so let me try to understand this. You are, Nathalia Watsons. The Queen of Darkness."
Aiden started to organized his thoughts and he decided to start it from the other party's identity.
"Hmmmm"
Nathalia nodded her head and urged Aiden to speak further.
"Then I am your fated husband gifted by the... what is that again? Moiras?"
"Yes, Moiras. It is the collective name for the Fate Spinners. They were sisters and each of them was responsible for the past, present and future fates of Gods and Demigods"
Nathalia tried to fill him in with further information.
"Moira... That name actually rings a bell to me. If my memory is not failing me yet, I believed that I already met someone that goes by that name. That is the name of the fortune teller that told me to go and live in the city."
Aiden's face dawn with recognition when he was reminded about the old lady that he met in his home town.
"Oh? Is that so??? Then you probably met one of the triplets."
Nathalia was slightly surprised when she learned from Aiden that he already met with one of the Moiras.
She really did not expect that the Moiras already made contact with her fated husband beforehand
"Then how about the thing you said about ruling the underworld??? That one is a bit too much for me."
Aiden said, a little nervous when he thought about the underworld that he had in his mind.
"Uhmmm. Yeah, about that. Well, since you were my husband, then you will automatically become the new King of the underworld because I am the Queen. But don't worry about that because I will still be the one who will do most of the works there. I attended school for more than a century just to study that post so I can assure you that I can handle it on my own. Although you still have to help me in managing other stuff."
Nathalia said in a way that suggested that it was no big deal at all. But it was obviously not the case for Aiden.
Sitting on his hospital bed with a completely dazed look, reminiscent of a lifeless zombie, Aiden's eyes were staring blankly at Nathalia's dazzling face as if someone had stolen his soul.
It took quite some time before he managed to recover from his daze. Then he looked at the alleged Queen of Darkness that was standing in front of him with a look that was even more shocked than he would have been if he had seen a ghost instead.
"You are over 100 years old already?!!!!"
'Does it mean that I married a more than century-old woman?!!! I just turned 25 this year! That was a difference of fourfolds!!! This was more like a pedophilic case on a whole new level!!!!'
Aiden did not say those next words aloud but nevertheless it still did not stop Nathalia from learning about his thoughts.
"Look. I know that I already told you that I won't read your mind but I just can't help it. Especially if you are giving me that face that was so hard to read. So sorry for intruding on your privacy. I don't have any idea what was that pedophilic thing that you are thinking about but what I can tell you is that age does not matter for immortals. It was nothing but numbers. You will eventually understand what I am saying once you become one."
