Chapter 22: Arrival II
[Azure Kingdom, Sky Castle]
Inside the throne room wherein almost everyone that is acquainted with Asagi had gathered, were currently watching out towards the projection that was being projected right infront of them through Asagi's magic
Through that they were able to sea the north side of their Kingdom which showed the capital city of Celeste Kingdom and its own high tall castle
Upon seeing the capital, various opinions then sprung out of everyone as they had their own says towards this matter, especially the case for Darius who had actually gone to the capital once in his past job
"That is the capital alright! It looks just the same as when I left, so what are you guys going to do about it? Establish a connection between two kingdom's or ignore it?"
Faced with such question Gabriel then folded his arms over his chest as he grumbled
"Is establishing a connection between our kingdom's that important? I don't see any benefit in doing so!"
"Well by establishing a connection between our kingdom's could lead to our prosperity in lives and market, and if I'm correct her majesty is in need of currency for some unknown reasons" said Michael as he shifted his gaze towards Asagi
Feeling the gazes all over her Asagi then wryfully waved that thought away as he shook her head and replied
"Well I do need money, and plus we do need to establish connection in this world though to survive... by doing that were gonna need to make ourselves known to the whole world, in other terms revealing ourselves to the public..."
"... since were going to do this anyway, then why not do it now and make this as our reference on how to deal with such situation in the future" added Asagi
Hearing her words Darius then tilted his head to the side as he asked
"So your suggesting that were gonna establish connection now? You guys are gonna go down there?"
"Well yeah!" Answered Asagi
In that moment everyone then knew that Asagi would then introduce her kingdom to the whole world, while such decision would really lead them to prosperity, it would also lead some troubles for them along the way
But nevertheless they will try to solve all those problems in the future in their own means
Right now however they're current dilenma is how to establish connection with the Celeste Kingdom without offending the opposite party, due to that Asagi then raised her voice as she instructed everyone to prepare the whole kingdom to receive some guest if ever they are brought to this place
Following that she then ordered both Michael and Gabriel to accompany her descent to the surface, of course both archangels were willing to go with her from the very beginning thus making the decision quite easy to fulfill
But before anything could happen at all, a foreboding weather then gloomed the area in their surroundings as it begun to pour down rain from above
As the rain started out slow, it then slowly grew louder and harder as it drop a heavy rain unto everyone in the kingdom, due to that Asagi had to think of another idea to cope up with such weather
*********
[Celeste Kingdom, South Gate]
As the rain poured heavily in the capital city of Celeste Kingdom, many people from their work or homes then immediately rushed back into their shelter or homes to cover themselves up from the rain
While many citizens cozied themselves up in their comfort zones of their homes, one particular group however were currently bidding their time under the south gate, as they protected themselves from the rain through magic
Particularly such group consist of Queen Celestia, Crown Prince Rodrick, Princess Hayne, Pope Michael, The bishop, and numerous nobles from the other territories who seemed curious of their guest from afar
Currently per instructions of Pope Michael, they were currently waiting for the so called angels to appear in their South gate, accordingly he also claimed that all their questions would be answered the moment such creatures arrive, thus the reason of such a huge crowd to gather
As some nobles started to get grumpy due to the weather they were having, Queen Celestia however asked Pope Michael a question
"Are you sure that they are arriving today? After all i don't see anything unusual out here at all, all I see is the vast horizon of trees and mountains... no signs of your angels at all"
Hearing her complaint and question, Pope Michael simply glanced at her before redirecting his gaze towards his bishop who could see the mana flow in the surroundings, seemingly waiting for his answer
As for the bishop on the other hand, he simply gulped down his saliva on his throat as he replied towards Queen Celestia's words
"They're here... the angels... they have arrived" said the bishop as he pointed his finger towards the sky, wherein the mana flow congulated into one particular area
In that moment everyone was the alarmed as they all looked at the empty space in the sky, seemingly unable to see the congulated mana flow
But nevertheless Pope Michael still believed his bishop as he announced everyone that the angels are just beyond the sky, hiding in their plain sight
Hearing his hearsay, various nobles including the royalty then immediately shot their gaze towards the empty space in the sky
But after for what seems like a few minutes of nothing happening, the nobles on the other hand grew furious as they felt that they were being played by the pope himself
"What kind of bullshit is this? There's literally nothing in the sky but a gloomy clouds and rain!!!"
"Is this a joke to you?"
"We've waited for atleast a whole week just to see this so called angels, where are they?"
"I knew it! This is all just a hoarse!!!"
"What are we even looking at?"
As various nobles showed their dissatisfaction, the royals on the other hand showed their own opinion, especially the case for Crown prince Rodrick who was nagging at princess Hayne
"Looks like the pope got your hopes up for nothing! There's literally nothing in that empty space in the sky but dark clouds and rain"
"Oh shut up!" Snapped princess Hayne
As the Crown prince and the princess was snapping it out with each other, Queen Celestia on the otherside was silently observing the empty space in the sky
And as she observed it closer, she seemed to notice three figures popping out from the clouds out of nowhere and seemingly flying their way
In that instant her eyes popped out in surprise as the words in her mouth was stuck on her throat due to this sudden phenomenon, but nevertheless with the dignity of a queen she then immediately silenced all the ramblings in the surroundings as she raised her voice and gave out instructions
"Everyone! To your positions! We've got guest to recieve!!!"
Hearing her words, various nobles then looked out towards the sky once more, only to see three figures flying down to surface from the sky above
Upon seeing thefyong figures, many of them were stunned silent, as some begun running to their post as they prepare for the arrival of their guest
Even the crown prince was stunned silly by the sudden arrival of people with wings, meanwhile princess Hayne on the other hand had a different reaction, as she showed a completely excitement rather than shock upon seeing three figures coming their way
**********
Meanwhile as the people of Celeste Kingdom were panicking on the south gate, Asagi, Michael, and Gabriel on the other hand had noticed the coagulation of people on the south gate of the opposite Kingdom
In that instant due to caution Asagi then halted her descent in the sky as she glanced towards both Michael and Gabriel who also saw the crowd below
Apparently they were planning to secretly infiltrate the capital by hiding their wings through magic and appear human, through that they would then be less suspicious from their surroundings
Unfortunately the crowd of people gathered on the South gate proved otherwise as they seemingly saw them flying down from above the clouds, due to that their cover was then immediately blown away as they were lost on what to do
"What do we do now? It seems like they've noticed us even before landing"
Hearing Asagi's question, both Michael and Gabriel then gave their various response
"Should we retreat back to the castle? After all we could just ignore this kingdom" suggested Michael
"Or we could just kill them! After all there will be no witnesses if there is no one to notice" suggested Gabriel
"Are you suggesting that we kill them? I would really like to avoid violence as much as I can though" replied Asagi as she glanced towards Gabriel
Receiving her stare, Gabriel just crossed his arms over his chest as he avoided her gaze
"Well I'm just suggesting though"
Upon hearing that Asagi then glanced back to the crowd on the south gate as she gave a sigh
Seeing her sigh Michael then patted Asagi on the shoulder as he said
"Were gonna follow your orders... just tell us what to do"
Hearing that Asagi simply nodded her head accordingly as she gave a sigh once more and gave her answer on the spot
"Since stealth is out of the option, let's just meet with them head first"
With that Asagi then further flew down to the surface ground, as both Gabriel and Michael shrugged their shoulders and followed after her
Soon after all three of them then landed right infront of the crowd in the south gate, as the latter group became completely speechless casue of their appearance
As if a confused gazel, all of them begun switching their gazes between the angels themselves and their white wings
For a fact none of them have ever seen pure white wings before, even among the winged race, white wings are quite rare and the only closely related color that they have are those dirty white color
After observing the white wings protruding behind the angels back, every nobles then shifted their gazes towards the faces of their visitors and can only mutter one word "beautiful"
Since the archangels and angels aside from Asagi is generated by the system, it was already given that they would come out as quite good-looking creatures, as for Asagi's face herself it was naturally her own avatar that she had created back on earth, thus it was already given
For awhile no one uttered a singles word as they admired the three angels before them, even the crown prince started to show signs of blushes, while the princess is starting to get excited all of the sudden
Amidst that Pope Michael then broke the atmosphere as he lightly coughed out to catch everyone's attention, following that he then slowly approached the front as he greeted Asagi and the rest
"Greetings our dear guest from the heavens above! You must be the so called angels that our men had reported back to us... we welcome you to the humble capital of Celeste Kingdom"
Hearing Pope Michael's words Asagi was then slightly taken aback by some of it, as she realized that perhaps that they have been seen by other bystanders when they descended to the surface in the past
Clearly however the pope seemed to be happy and excited at this very moment despite him trying to compose himself and hide his emotions right infront of them
But based on their attitude now and the gathering happening in this south gate, Asagi then concluded that perhaps they must have anticipated their arrival for quite awhile now
Right then after however, a dignified person with etiquette and grace then came over towards them even before she could introduce herself
"Greetings! My name Celestia! The current ruler of the Celeste Kingdom! I welcome you dear guest from the sky"
Hearing her introduction, Asagi then quickly realized that the woman infront of them is a royalty itself
Thus as a show of respect towards her position in an equal footing, Asagi then picked the hem of her skirt as she showed a bit of courtesy and greeted back towards the crowd in grace that she kept seeing back on earth through formal meeting
"My name is Asagi! The Queen of the Sky Castle! Ruler of the Azure Kingdom and Queen to all angels"
With that a sudden silence then surrounded everyone as Asagi introduced herself as a queen of her own
