Chapter 218: Four Ruling for Eternity

Cassie.

I wasn't sure what to expect when it came to the games being over, but one thing was for sure, my grandfather didn't disappoint when it came to a coronation party. Stepping into the grand hall, I was greeted by the aroma of freshly cooked meats, breads, and the lingering smell of flowers. It was by far the most elegant event that I had ever seen, which was saying a lot considering the parties here never seemed to end.

“Welcome, all!" Odin's voice echoed through the grand hall with a force that caused everyone to turn their eyes to where we were. Odin stood on his feet with his throne behind him, me at his left, sitting, waiting for my future husband to arrive.

Nervousness filled my body at the thought I was going to be married or mated, as some would say. In my mind, I was too young, still searching for fun and adventure. Although, on the other hand, I also knew that fun and adventure weren't a luxury I was allowed to have.

Scanning the crowds in front of me, my eyes connected with that of Solina, and I saw the hatred she bore for me. She was pissed, and after what I heard the servants whispering about, I'm not surprised. They said that his body was body beaten with a blade having gone through it. On top of that, the creatures of the forest quickly ate him.

Not really a service you would have for a dying celestial, though I didn't understand how he died. He was a celestial, just like me, and it shouldn't have been possible.

Something that I was going to have to ask Silas about later.

“As you all know, the past few weeks have been trying. Many of the men who competed did their best, but in the end, only one person could win it all…"

The crowds in the grand hall cheered again before slowly parting to make way for the victor. A victor that I was pleased to see. Finn had changed and now stood there at the end of the hall, slowly making his way towards me, dressed in his royal attire of blues, purples, and gold. His hair was perfectly pulled back and tied at the nape of his neck with a blue ribbon as his celestial eyes stared deeply into mine.

He was a man on a mission, and the fact he was making his way towards me was enough to make my thighs press together with an anticipation of what he had in store for me later.

“Thank you, Odin. It's a great honor to have won the games, and also to take your granddaughter as my fated," Finn replied loudly, with nothing but confidence in his tone.

“Please, Finnick, come up here and take your place next to your betrothed."

Odin gestured to the empty throne next to me, and Finn didn't hesitate to take a step forward. However, instead of proceeding, I watched him glance at me with a twinkle of what seemed to be mischievousness in his eyes before he stopped once more.

“Odin, if I may… can I ask you something first?" Finn asked, in a very political manner.
