Mira disobeys the order

Anger was evident in every word spoken by Mira as she started responding to Her Goddess, her voice oozing bitterness. "My Goddess," she began, "you know me - better than anyone else. You are aware that I opted for a military career since I wanted to evade marriage." Mira paused briefly, reflecting on her internal struggle. Although she had fleeting dreams about finding true love, she decided to walk down the path of knighthood, fearing an arranged union with a stranger.

She continued, drawing in a deep breath, preparing herself to stand up against Her Divinity for the very first time. "You know well that I was willing to battle in your name, to lay down my life, and bear any torment. I could even embrace martyrdom if required, inspiring others through my sacrifice. However, I cannot comply with your latest command!" Her tone grew sharper, tinged with disgust. "I refuse to be a bride for such a sinister entity. I have no intention of bearing its offspring. I am a warrior, revered and feared across lands! Seek some street whore for this vile duty!"

Her chest heaved, lungs gasping for air amidst the tempest brewing inside her soul. "Throughout my existence, I have demonstrated that women hold roles beyond just being wives. Can you imagine, after dedicating so much to prove this notion, you expect me to exemplify the perfect spouse – or worse, a subservient ****?" Mira clenched her jaw tightly, fury simmering beneath her skin. "Do you wish for me to encourage females to lead lives I despise? To instill in our young ones the belief that tolerating cruelty is their destiny?" Tears streamed down her cheeks as she squeezed her eyes shut. "The most challenging aspect of your teachings to accept has been believing that love can conquer all forms of darkness. It is untrue. Some evils require the edge of a blade to vanquish them."

A shudder ran through Mira's body as she prepared to speak words that went against her deeply held beliefs. "I am no longer yours, Goddess. Nor shall I ever belong to him. Once more, I shall reclaim my freedom. With or without your aid, I will bring him down. I swear upon my honor, I will slay him regardless of the consequences!"
