Chapter 25: Diplomatic Visit

[Celeste Kingdom, South Gate]

On the very next day after the rain has stopped pouring down unto the capital, numerous gazes were fixated on Asagi, Michael, and Gabriel for some unknown reasons

Of course such gazes originally didn't came from the nobles since they had lighten up towards the angels due to the reception party that happened the previous day, but such gazes were coming from the citizens of the capital as they crowded in towards the south gate

Among those people that had crowded in towards the south gate were the adults, children, and guards of various shape and sizes, all of them wore excited, curious and amazed expression as they admired the angels from afar

Well such spectacle was quite natural since this was the first time they had actually seen a real life angel in reality, thus causing a commotion among the crowd, but aside from that their encounter with such mythological creatures that were foretold since their childhood would literally cause rumors and talks to spread throughout the whole kingdom itself

But pushing the growing crowd aside, the literal problem is the party or group of people that would go and visit Asagi's Kingdom that was scheduled that day

Originally the group should only consist of few important people, unfortunately the news of visit to the kingdom of angels had spread wide towards the nobles information network, thus causing a literal huge group to gather in wait for their departure towards the kingdom of angels in the sky

Such group consist of Queen Celestia, Crown prince Rodrick,  Princess Hayne, The royal guards numbering about 12, The royal maids and butler totaling about 10 maids and 10 butlers, The Pope, The church's bishops numbering about 6, The devoted nun's and priest's of the religion totaling about 30 people, All of the kingdom's nobles which sums up to all 32 of them, and their family members

In other words all in all  the number of people visiting Asagi's Kingdom for diplomatic means had actually reached about 150 people

Originally this was supposed to be a diplomatic visit to establish connection between two kingdoms, but for some reason this has turned into something similar to a fieldtrip and Asagi herself was the teacher while Michael and Gabriel were the assistant and supervisor

Giving a blank stare at Queen Celestia with such a degree that holds deep meaning, the person in question herself couldn't help but avoid her gaze, seemingly not wanting to take responsibility for this out of hand situation

As for the pope himself, he was currently occupied with Michael himself, since both of them had literally the same name, thus causing him to be enthusiastic in talking to him in regards the history of his name

Most likely the pope had known such information and circumstances the previous day, thus raising his intimacy and companionship towards Michael

But pushing that aside the plan for the day still had to go on, thus Asagi had no choice but to adjust on her own side, since after all she do have a large crowd that will visit her kingdom

With the updated information being forwarded at the early point, Asagi only had to wait for the welcoming party to arrive

Not long after when the crowd was slowly growing in the south gate, hundred of spotted silhouettes then came into view in the sky, which then attracted the attention of every people on the ground

Based on the number that can be seen slowly descending from the sky and towards the south gate, it could be totaled off up to 200 angels had came down to receive the guest from a foreign kingdom

In that instant numerous people started to become awe at such a sight as they witnessed the descent of the angels themselves, but aside from the awed citizens of the Celeste Kingdom, the pope and various people of the church had then plopped down in a kneeling position as some cried and some had praised for the arrival of such a day

Such majestic and holy descent of angels was somehow to much for the people of the church since they were literally of dreaming of a day that such an existence would lead them to the promised paradise

With a carried step Pope Michael had literally kneeled right in front of Asagi while disregarding that his clothes would get dirty and said

"Thank you! Thank you very much! You had no idea how thankful we are for proving our faith, your existence is enough to uphold our beliefs and ideals, thus we are truly thankful for your coming"

Not knowing on how to respond to such a situation, Asagi simply smiled back towards Pope Michael, unknowingly that such show of action had already meant so much for the person himself

Pushing that aside with the arrival of the angels, the plan on bringing the guest towards her kingdom had then commenced

Under the leading instruction of both Michael and Gabriel, all of the present angels then took all 150 visiting people by the waist and slowly lifted them off the ground

At first the nobles and various people were bewildered by such an action and the fact that they were being lifted off the ground, but sooner or later they were thrilled and overjoyed at the fact that they get to experience of flying

Without further ado after the initial people were lifted up by the angels off the ground, the other remaining people were then lifted up accordingly with the support of the angels carrying them

As for the citizens down at the capital themselves, they couldn't help but be shocked at this sudden development as they saw numerous important people being lifted up by the angels off the ground

With that the service had then commenced as Asagi had taken the lead and spread-out her white wings which attracted everyone's attention, as she flew off to the sky above them

Following her lead both Michael and Gabriel then followed suite as they launched themselves towards the sky with one flap of their wings, after that all 200 angels and their guest had launched themselves off the surface as they followed their queen back to their home

As they flew up into the sky, various exclamations then rose up from the guest that were following them, as they held on tight towards the angels carrying them while feeling up the experience of flying

Aside from Pope Michael who was shouting out in joy like a child, the other people on the other hand were quite tensed due to the fact that they were already far off the ground, so high up enough that it could lead them to their death if they were to fall off from the angels grip, but nevertheless all of the guest still braced themselves for any possible outcomes

*********

[Azure Kingdom]

With the flight towards Asagi's kingdom would take quite some time to arrive, all 200 angels together with the carried 150 guest from the Celeste Kingdom were then experiencing something that they hadn't imagined would happen at all

Everyone was exhilarated by the experience of flying in the sky and touching the clouds with their bare skin

But just as if flying above the seeable area wasn't enough, the angels then proceeded to carry them over above the sea of clouds, just pass over the first layer in the sky

Upon entering the sea of clouds, numerous gasps were heard from the guest as their eyes sparkled in amazement and beauty of the world right infront of them

From the wide sea of clouds below them, and the towering mountain of  louds right infront of them, only one word could ever describe such scenery "Heavenly"

Next up after awhile everyone or every people who was sensitive to magic or mana, suddenly senses the huge fluctuations right in front of them as they passed through the cloak which is the primary cause for the invisibility of the whole kingdom

After just passing by Asagi's barrier, the whole floating Kingdom was laid right in front of their eyes

With the fertile soil stretching out towards the horizon, and the sea of trees surrounding the kingdom's walls, the huge beautiful clear lake which attracts everyone's attention, the peaceful atmosphere surrounding the kingdom's capital, and the huge castle laid right in the middle of it, such a scenery was a sight to behold, and mostly seen in paintings or artworks at most

Upon laying their gaze towards the Asagi's kingdom, everyone else was completely speechless of this sight, which was further beautified by the appearance of angels flying around the kingdom as well

Right after passing the sea of trees the whole 200 angels and its 150 guest then landed at the northern gate of the Azure Kingdom and was immediately greeted by the rest of the angels who stayed in the kingdom's premises all lining up in the ground and air

In unison every angels present quickly puts their right hand across their chest and bowed towards their queen who arrived with the guest from the surface below

"Welcome back your majesty!"

As they performed the act in a complete unison, without any flaws at all, every guest was once again overwhelmed by this sudden situation as they felt inferior in both order and discipline on their soldiers

But as the queen of the Celeste Kingdom and its nobles were thinking of this, Asagi on the other hand simply chuckled at this sight as she turned towards her guest and greeted all of them a warm welcome with open arms

"Welcome to Azure Kingdom!"

With a warm welcome, every angels lined up both in the sky and the ground of the capital city, all showed respect to their guest from the surface below with a bow, thus further amazing the people of Celeste Kingdom

In fact even the royalty were impressed of such a warm reception, but most of all the one who was most impressed was the queen herself

"You've really arranged for all of this didn't you? Is it to amaze us or intimidate us?" ask Queen Celestia

"That's just how the rest of the angels are you know! It's like respect is already integrated into them" replied Asagi

"Then I've gotta say... I'm impressed" stated Queen Celestia

"Indeed in all of my life, I've never seen or felt such warm welcome at all, not to mention but from the angels themselves... this is like a dream come true" added Pope Michael

Hearing the pope's remark Queen Celestia immediately scowled at it with her own words

"Well the only reason why you seldom receive such a warm reception is because your religion is one of the least influential religion in the whole world"

"You don't have to say it like that you know..." muttered Pope Michael as he felt dejected from that obvious fact

Seeing the interaction between the two, Asagi simply smiled at them before turning her back on them and leading the whole group towards the sky castle on foot

"Well everyone let's proceed"

Under her lead, everyone then entered the whole capital as they marveled at the sight of their clean surroundings

On the other hand among the crowd both Crown Prince Rodrick and Princess Hayne who had interacted less with Asagi, were truly stupefied by the kingdom of the angels

Not only were it clean, but the order and discipline that should be seen in a kingdom's army was there, a matter of fact the kingdom was so beautiful that it was literally comparable to a paradise

The only flaw of such a huge kingdom were its lack of citizens, but nevertheless they were amazed towards Asagi, especially the Crown Prince himself who seemed to have gotten more interested towards her

Unknown to the fact that the Crown prince had his eyes towards her, Asagi happily and nonchalantly led the whole group towards the sky castle as she toured them to places in the capital

Sadly they went straight inside the city in the north upon their landing and never detoured to any wide spot on its direction, thus the whole group didn't even manage to meet the farming firm who situated themselves just right outside of the northern kingdom walls

But with so much time in their hands, Asagi would be able to find ways to be able to introduce her whole workforce towards their guest in the kingdom down the surface below

After all the day for the visit had actually just started
