Chereads / WEDDED BY THE GODS / Chapter 18 - You Can Go

Chapter 18 - You Can Go

Conjointly, Lily, her dad, the maids, the maidens, and every other worker in the palace of Lutua have searched every nuck and crannies of the land in an attempt to find the missing signet ring. Supernatural principles were applied, but they all ended in vain.

 

Lily began to think outside the confines of the planet Jupiter. "I think the search should now encroach into the territories of other planets. No one can tell; we might just find it there. Sometimes results come from unexpected places. The gods might have hid it far away in another world." She thought within herself.

 

"Yes! Yes!! Yes!!!... Nice idea!" she shouted. "I will use this one stone to kill two birds—a golden opportunity to go spend time with my man and also to search for the ring right there on earth." Lily was so excited with this idea. It was at about 5:00am that this idea came. She patiently waited till 6:00am before going to her father to tell him about the idea of going to the earth all in the name of searching for the missing ring.

 

"Greetings, father."

"Greetings, my lovely Lily. I hope your night was splendid."

"Yes, it was Dad. I have come to share something with you."

"Okay, I'm all ears; talk to me, darling."

 

Lily: "Father, as you know, we have searched everywhere in this land and the entire planet Jupiter, but all the effort ended in futility. The gods seem to have no answer to our question. Are we just going to fold our hands and keep watching just because our previous efforts haven't been good enough to yield a good result? I said no; we will never give up. You have never given up on any issue, so not on this. Nothing you desire passes you by. I, your daughter, Lily, strongly believe we can do more so that this family will be crowned with everlasting glory."

 

"Father, this is what we are going to do; the search for this missing ancient signet ring must be extended to other worlds. You can't tell where the results will come from. Let's toss the die; the possible outcome may be the desired one. Since our gods have become mute, maybe other gods can do a better job than ours. I'm sure I will get a result.

 

"That's a courageous and determined daughter. Which of the planet do you want us to extend the search to first?"

 

Without further thought, because she had her plans already, she quickly replied, "the earth."

 

"The earth? Fine I agree with you. This evening, I will select the five strongest and most full of wisdom from among the men we have here to embark on the journey to the earth with you tomorrow morning."

 

She is not pleased with this idea of men going with her. Her plan to go meet Adrian will fail. But she pretends to have agreed to what Dad said. "Thanks, father; see you later." She left his presence.

 

As soon as she got into her room, she walked to and fro, restless and worried. "I must act fast; these men need not go with me. Dad will never allow only me to go. What should I do right now to stop them? ….yes! Boom, as soon as we get into the earth, I will lodge them in a hotel and get them babes, then I can go be with my Adrian.

 

The king never forgets his words. By 6:00 p.m., he had summoned all the gallant men in the palace. Using his tactical abilities, he selects five brave and intelligent men. "Five of you on my right hand side, I charge you to go with my precious daughter into the mortal planet earth, search everywhere till you get the ring, and deal with every idiot that dear my daughter. Do I make myself  clear?

"Yes, sir, they all replied.

"Report here by 4:00 a.m. before leaving for the journey."

 

Everyone is now dispersed.

 

It's now 4:00 a.m. in the morning of the next day. Every selected gallant man is already present. The king touched them all on the shoulder with the secret rod of the gods of Jupiter so they could stay guided.

 

Turning into Lily, he kissed her and said, "Blessed daughter, go, conquer, and return with the result.

 

"You can go."
