Chapter 24: Two Queens and a Pope

[Celeste Kingdom, Reception Room]

While the nobles of the Celeste Kingdom were being wary of their guest, especially the fact that they are the angels of legends foretold in myths and folktales of the church, the crown prince of the kingdom on the other hand namely Crown prince Rodrick is somehow beginning to feel impatient due to the atmosphere

Just like the crown prince of the Celeste kingdom, Princess Hayne on the other hand couldn't help but fidget on her seat as she gaze at the wings of both Michael and Gabriel on the side, but most of all she was anticipating Asagi herself as she couldn't help but marvel not only at her beauty, but even how majestic her wings are

Being admired as a beautiful person by the beautiful person herself, such an honor couldn't be any more praiseworthy

But compared to the princess line of thoughts, Crown Prince  Rodrick had other opinions towards Asagi, one of them is that he was completely mesmerized by her beauty at first impression, for him the female winged angel herself was the most beautiful and most charming girl he had ever seen

As various people were having varying thoughts towards their guest, both Michael and Gabriel on the other hand couldn't help but stay vigilant of the surroundings, especially since many people were looking their way, thus pressuring them even more and this has been going for half an hour already since they entered the human's premises

In that moment as if breaking the ice, Queen Celestia together with both Asagi and Pope Michael then entered the room, thus causing various reaction

While the nobles were joyed to see their Queen and the Pope thus reassuring their feelings, both Michael and Gabriel on the other hand were relieved that Asagi was safe

Alongside the two angels, both Crown Prince Rodrick and Princess Hayne were both excited to see Asagi with both differing reasons

Just like that upon entering the room, Queen Celestia then bravely announced to everyone regarding Asagi's identity

"Everyone! I as the Queen of Celeste Kingdom am here ordering you to pay your respect towards the girl right in front of me" said Queen Celestia as she pointed towards Asagi

In that instant everyone except both Michael and Gabriel were surprised by the sudden order of their queen, after all they were just ordered to pay respect to someone that they didn't know

But as if to clear their confusion Queen Celestia immediately cleared everyone's thoughts by adding up her words

"The girl right in front of you, whom you thought as a harmless damsel, is none other than the ruler of the kingdom of angels, in other words her significance and importance is equal to mine and the pope, by provoking her you would be starting a war between two kingdoms, thus everyone should show her some respects equivalent to mine"

Upon hearing Queen Celestia's words every noble in the room immediately showed their respect, of course3 both the crown prince and the princess weren't exempted from this

"Your majesty!" said everyone while kneeling in one knee except the angels in unison

Seeing this Queen Celestia was seemingly proud of her own nobles attitude, on the other hand Asagi herself was quite shocked by this situation since she's not yet used to such a respect by the humans other than her people in her own kingdom

But as if fanning the flames Queen Celestia then added more which further shocked the nobles

"Followingly The Sky Queen herself is planning to establish connection towards our kingdom both diplomatically and economically, thus we will further talk about trading with each other until further notice"

With that everyone started having varying thoughts but they seemingly can't voice it out towards their queen

For starters during their talk in Queen Celestia's  garden, they did touch on the topic of having Asagi's kingdom form connection towards the church and the Celeste Kingdom itself, with the prospect of forming a connection with the angels themselves, both the queen and the pope had fully supported Asagi's idea

But to make the negotiation go smoothly between three sides, Asagi had no choice but to expose her kingdom towards the two as an inspection, due to that Asagi then arranged the next day wherein she would bring them to her kingdom

Overjoyed by that news, Pope Michael immediately sent a message towards the holy city through the use of magic to prepare a group of people to head towards the kingdom of angels the next day

Meanwhile Queen Celestia herself still have the whole night to decide which people would go along with her to visit the kingdom of angels

Pushing that thought aside, a welcoming reception then commences as food and drinks were brought in by the maids and butler to welcome their guest

As for Asagi, due to the fact that she still had to make connection with the church and the Celeste Kingdom the next day, she then had no choice but to stop the power engine of the whole azure kingdom, thus halting the Kingdom's movement and planting them in one place

Of course such situation was only temporary, but Asagi still had a lot of things to do in this human kingdom before moving on to the further north of the world

When the welcoming reception had commences for their guest, the nobles attitude then started to become lax, as some of them started to approach the archangels in their own volition, of course the Queen herself immediately took notice of this as she continued to talk to the pope and bishop who was with the latter

Meanwhile as for Asagi, she was currently being approached by the princess of the Kingdom and its's crown prince

At first it may look like the three of them were of the same age due to Asagi cute game avatar, but in reality she was much older than the crown prince and the princess with a ripe age of 25, seemingly the crown prince and the princess right in front of her seemed to be at the point of marriageable which is 18 for the prince and 16 for the princess

Upon approaching her Princess Hayne immediately held out her arm towards Asagi as she pulled her hand closer and somehow were delighted to have skin contact with her

"So your name is Asagi, my name is Hayne, plus your a queen too at such a young age  which seemed like in it's teens, say tell me... how should i address you? should it be Asagi oneesama or Queen Asagi?" said Princess Hayne as she leans in closer

Feeling that the princess was ignoring her own personal space, Asagi couldn't help but step one foot back as she tried to compose herself, of course she was happy that she was praised that she look young despite her actual age

As the princess was leaning in near her, Crown Prince Rodrick on the other hand broke them off as he gallantly tried to make himself look cool as he took Asagi's  left hand and kissed it with his lips, seemingly kind of trope for any kind of prince who met another royalty or of higher noble status

"Asagi it is? such a beautiful yet mysterious meaning of name, it's quite to my liking... oh how rude of me my name is Rodrick, the crown prince  of this kingdom... in other words the next ruler"

Seeing Crown Prince Rodrick moves which is quite smooth, which would most likely charm other ladies or girls, Asagi couldn't help but reply in a wry smile

Of course such smooth talking and charming effect was useless against her, since she only see both the Crown Prince and princess as nothing more than but just little boys, who's trying to pick up girls

True to that fact her own strike zone was more on the mature men side, since it is rumored that they are more romantic than young boys and mature in behavior, nevertheless she still showed the prince some minimal kind of respect

"Oh you jest! are you really that kind of flatterer crown prince?"

"Yes i am! in fact i only flatter those woman who had exceptional beauty such as yourself" said Crown Prince Rodrick

"Well that's quite nice of you, I'll take your words as a compliment, but sadly I'm unto mature thinking kind of men, thus putting you not into my strike zone" replied Asagi seemingly like a roast

Upon hearing her words, Crown Prince Rodrick was immediately silenced on the spot, as Princess Hayne started laughing at him being busted or roasted by Asagi

After all by how Asagi had said it in front of the prince, it felt like she was indicating that the prince himself wasn't matured enough, thus causing such reaction

But instead of taking such roast as an insult to himself, Crown Prince Rodrick on the other hand started to feel challenged by such words coming from Asagi, after all he is not such a ruthless bastard unlike some typical trope

But taking such situation to her advantage, Princess Hayne immediately drew Asagi's attention away from the crown prince and unto her, thus starting a conversation

"Speaking of which i also wonder what type of beauty products you use to make your skin so smooth and likeable to touch, after all no matter how i look at you, i couldn't help but be envious of your charm"

Hearing Princess Haynes words, Asagi don't even know how to answer her question at all, even thought it's natural for girls to always want to look charming and beautiful to society by using beauty products, such type of beauty method isn't applicable to Asagi at all

Through the power of her system she had literally possessed or taken over the body of her avatar of  the game she used to play back on earth named Godsfall which is quite famous back in the days, thus she doesn't know how to tell her how she acquired such beautiful and charming body at all

"Well..."

As her words started to trace off to nowhere, Queen Celestia immediately intervened the conversation, thus shifting the topic elsewhere

"Well it's quite rude to suddenly probe a lady's secret on how to stay charming and beautiful you know"

"But mother aren't you quite curious as well?" asked Princess Hayne as she dropped all terms of formality in front of her mother

"For the matter of fact i am, but i always need to stay professional in front of the society, with all the nobles present at this moment, it may already be considered as a societal gathering" answered Queen Celestia

"Well it sucks to be you, who always need to keep face in front of the society" said Princess Hayne

"And your a princess, you should act like one to at least attract some suitable suitors and not some greedy in power men, after all your already at a marriageable age" replied Queen Celestia with a stern look

Hearing that Princess Hayne couldn't help but scowl in annoyance towards the queens words

But pushing that aside Asagi is quite curious on how Queen Celestia came to be in power, but as if answering her question in her head, the system had actually given her a sensitive answer to her curiosity

*********
Notice:

Queen Celestia came to be in power due to the fact that her late husband had died early due to an incurable illness (based on this world's current medical knowledge and technology)

Incurable illness: Heart Cancer stage 5

*********

Upon seeing such sensitive information regarding the queen's past, Asagi couldn't possibly just blurted it out loud right in front of her, since it's a type of invasion of privacy

Thus by just looking out towards the relationship of the queen with her children, Asagi then suddenly smiled back at them as she suddenly remembered her past with her Aunt and uncle back on earth, Upon remembering such moment Asagi's resolve to return became firmer once more

On the other hand Queen Celestia and Princess Hayne had actually seen Asagi slightly smiled at their situation, but taking that as something positive for them, they then invited Asagi to enjoy the party with them and of course the person herself much likely obliged to it
