Marina growled as she walked back and forth in her husband's old home in Mineral town. How dare that idiot cheat on her? Of all the things she did for him! Didn't she always stay loyal to him? Granted he was the only man she had ever been married to and the only person she had ever been with. Not only had she granted him the privilege of marrying her, but she had also given him a child. That fool didn't know how lucky he was to marry someone like her. She could have told him no as there were plenty of other people who wanted to marry her...although no one had ever tried proposing to her or had shown any intentions of wanting to date or marry her.
"I just don't understand!" she growled as she continued to walk back and forth while the harvest sprites watched her do so. "Why did he leave me for her of all people!? What have I done to make him think its okay to skip town and..and have sex with some...dirty...little...pig!"
Suddenly the sprites then looked at each other and then huddled in a circle to determine what to do say and what not to say. Then they drew straws on who would tell her the truth. It was decided that Chief would do it instead.
"Uh...Harvest Goddess?"
"What?"
"I think we may know why he may have ran off like he did." he said nervously. The other sprites nodded and backed up a good distance away from the Goddess.
"Oh? Well then go on and say it." she said crossing her arms. 'I can't wait to hear this.'
"You haven't really been a good wife to him."
"WHAT?!"
"I-I'm sorry, but its true. You don't really pay him any attention."
"I do so!" she said angrily.
"No you don't!" piped Aqua. "You never come home for a few hours, a family dinner..."
"...or for a family pinic." said Staid.
"I did go on a family picnic with my husband and child!"
"Yeah, once!" mumbled Aqua.
"You shut up!" Marina snapped. "He's only 1. I didn't want him to catch a cold when he as younger. His immune system wasn't high enough for a family outing!"
"Yeah sure." mumbled a couple of sprites.
"Any who I have come over for a family dinner. I just so happened to celebrate my son's birthday before my husband moved away. As a matter of fact I even cooked dinner and got myself all dressed up for that event,"
"You wore the exact same outfit you usually put on." mumbled the red sprite. "You didn't even put on any makeup or anything. Not even a single thong..."
"EXCUSE ME?!" She blushed, glaring at the sprite.
"I-I mean...I-I...I'll shut up now."
"You'd better." she shook her fist at the sprite. "All of you better had."
While she was angry for the sprites for saying such things to their boss, she knew they were right. Since she was a goddess, she couldn't be at home all the time because of her work...at least thats what she told the sprites and her husband when they first got married. However in reality she was really being noisy, as she found human drama more interesting than her own work, which never took long because of the sprites. Plus she often got into fights with Witch Princess and the very few occasions where she granted wishes for others when harvest was thrown into the ponds she had. Also, she took pleasure in indulging in the food people left her at shrines and ate them while reading magazines and her favorite manga.
Deep down she knew she wasn't a good wife to Pete and she really couldn't blame him for leaving her. She'd leave herself too if she had been in the same situation. However her stubborn ways ignored all that and she wanted revenge for the man who didn't appreciate her. She would make both of them pay. Oh yes they would pay dearly. But...how though? Make his crops fail? Yes, that would work, but then her son would starve and she couldn't have that. Could she play dirty back and date someone herself? No, because he was already seeing someone and probably wouldnt care.
Suddenly she thought of a brilliant idea. She'd just embarass him the best way she knew how: she'd just show up and tell everyone how he cheated on her. She didn't know any other way how, but it would do for now. As for witch princess, she'd just mislabel her potion ingredients. As long as her son didn't get hurt in the process, her plans would get through perfectly.
