The World Of The Venerate: Everwhite
Chapter 30 - Hefaistos becomes president of the witch
“Artemis... Forgive mom, for being bound by an appointment with Machora Tira, I cannot go with you.”.
“But..”.
Artemis grasped Lethis's hands, unwilling to let her mother leave. The woman did not want to part with her mother, after ten years of losing the man.
However, Lethis could not heed the request from Artemis, he actually also wanted to remain with his daughter, but because it has now become one of the parts of Machora Tira, he also has a duty to the country.
“Hei son... Can you keep him from chasing me?” Lethis said to Hephaestus.
Hephaestus could only be silent, not knowing what to do.
Lethis slowly tried to let go of Artemis' hand grip that was tightly holding her hand.
“Sorry my daughter.. Once this is done, mom will definitely see you soon, and will stay with you for a long time.”.
The handle of Artemis was suddenly detached from Lethis, to make the woman run as fast as possible with Calevan leaving her daughter, without even looking back, too, but Lethis expression looked very sad when forced to leave his daughter.
“Mother..!” Shouted Artemis while chasing after Lethis.
Sontak Hefaistos immediately held the woman to not let her chase after her mother.
Hephaestus was forced to do so for the sake of Lethis so that Artemis would not pursue him until he entered deeper into the Machora Tira region.
“No mother…! Don't go...!” Shouted Artemis, calling her mother not to leave her.
“Mother..!” Artemis wept at seeing her mother slowly drifting away until she could no longer see her.
***
Moments later, after some of the Machora Tira warriors had escaped, some of the mixed-race descendants still left in the city were left to the Lightio warriors to escape.
**
One of the Venerate Fuegonia named Rox appears to be walking among the rubble of the building. When the man was watching the surroundings, suddenly his attention was fixed on an object that sparkled behind the rubble.
He lifted up one by one the debris that blocked him, then picked up the shiny object.
“What is this thing?” It turned out that the object he picked up was a crystal stone.
“Rox... What's up?” Suddenly from behind him appeared another Fuegonia Venerate named Argus.
Hearing the voice calling out to him, the man named Ros immediately stored the crystal stone using his spatial strength so as not to be seen by his partner.
“Mr Argus...” Rox said, looking at his partner.
“What are you doing there?” Ask Argus.
“No... I just take a walk to see the situation around..”.
The man named Argus seemed suspicious of his partner's movements, but he actually did not care much about what the man was doing.
***
Time passed, after the war the Lightio troops were finally able to expel the forces of Machora Tira and get a little territory from the country.
The troops, who were no longer on duty, eventually left using their fleet of aircraft to leave the city they captured.
***
Inside one of the fleet of Lightio's fighters, he was seen accompanying Artemis who was still grieving.
“Artemis, your mother can definitely get us down back to Lightio.”.
“I promise you, if I manage to reach the level of World Venerate and become an influential person in this country, I will definitely try to bring your mother back.”.
“Don't worry, I will also continue to be by your side until your mother returns later.”
Not wanting to keep quiet, Hephaestus tried his best to make the spirit of the woman he liked back again.
However, no response came out of the mouth of Artemis.the woman remained silent contemplating the situation of her mother who was in the mixed race country.

“Eh, shit... Why also say that? Obviously he would not care about my current words,” Hefaistos murmured inwardly, instead feeling ashamed after Artemis had not responded to his words.
**
“Eh... How is yah?” The young man became misbehaved and confused about what to do.
“I go first if beigtu..”.
Just as Hephaestus was about to leave Artemis alone in the place, she suddenly grabbed him and hugged him tightly from behind.
“Artemis...” Hefaistos was surprised to suddenly feel the embrace of the person whose tribe.
“True, you will always be next to me?” Ask Artemis.
“Eh... that, uh..” Hefaistos was confused to say what in the awkward atmosphere.
“My answer..” said Artemis, still hugging the young man tightly.
Instantly the young man let go of Artemis' embrace. He turned around and looked into the woman's eyes.
“Of course I will always be beside you. Because you are a very precious person to me..”.
“Artemis... When we first met, I just thought of it as an ordinary meeting. However, after slowly watching you continue, I began to realize that you had stolen my heart.” Hefaistos said, finally expressing his feelings to Artemis.
For a moment Artemis fell silent at the revelation of the young man. He could not believe that the young man who had been cold to him had secretly liked him.
Artemis became moved to embrace the young man again tightly.
The two of them hugged tightly in the plane that was flying towards the eastern region of Lightio.
–Year 3000 to 3002–
A year later Hephaestus finally married Artemis and lived with her loved ones in the county of Workyen, home of the Silkbar clan.
In addition, the two of them continued to train hard until after two years passed, the couple finally managed to reach the highest level in the Venerate shutter, the World Venerate together.
With this made the land of Lightio which for less than three years led by the Continent Venerate finally get a candidate who will fill the position as the president of the witch, the leader of the country.
Three of the four great regions of the land of Lightio fully supported Hefaistos and Artemis to advance to their leadership, while the only area that most of the population does not support and oppose the two people is the western region.
The region did not support Hefaistos and Artemis because it had previously chosen their future leader who was one of the Giantman races, Vertorn Nomos.
However, having been supported by the inhabitants of the three great territories at once, Hephaestus became the president of the sorcerer Lighthio, while Artemis became vice president of the sorcerer Lightio, the second most influential person in the country.
However, after becoming the leader of the land of Lightio, Hefaistos was still having difficulty to realize the desire of Artemis to return his mother.
Hephaestus attempted to negotiate with the land of Machora Tira in order to restore the mother of Artemis, but the higher-ups of the country did not want to return Lethis back to his home country on the grounds that the woman had become an important soldier for the land of the mixed race because of her magic power.
