[Amid Empire]

A week had passed since the conference had been ensued by all the royalties currently residing in the middle continent, by then the the declaration of Emperor Amos execution was underway, after that said conference which was seen and heard by all the people in the middle continent, the day of Emperor Amos execution finally came before the whole populace of the empire

Of course there were some resistance within the crowd who pleaded for the emperor's life, but despite the plea to save him, Emperor Amos was still guillotined for everyone to see at the scheduled date

At exact 12:00 in the afternoon, during the time wherein the sun was at it's highest point of the day, Emperor Amos was finally killed right in front of the masses as his death was then fully inscribed in the history as the foolish tyrannical emperor

With the Emperor's death, numerous people in the empire naturally mourned for him in contrast to the joyous atmosphere of the people in the three Kingdoms, but despite its people's joy, the royalties and the representative's of the three kingdoms' who attended the conference a week before paid no heed towards such broadcast, after all what was being seen was simply a show or an act which would literally deceive the normal people of the truth for days to come

Even though the Emperor was declared as dead on paper, all of them knew that the person that got guillotined was none other than an impostor dummy with a transferred soul inside, in other words a puppet of some higher being, through the use of rune law of transmigration

After all transmigration is an act of transmigrating. the passage of a soul after death into another body; metempsychosis, which is actually similar to reincarnation

At that very moment the soul that was inhabiting the dummy look alike emperor was none other than the soul of a simple ant

With the death of the dummy, the emperor was completely covered up from his deeds and was free to do anything he wanted from that very point of his life

At the same time with the Emperor's death, the crown was then passed unto the half-brother of Emperor Amos, which was born from a prostitute mother, from the previous lover of his deceased father

Despite being a child outside of the family, Emperor Amos still respected his half-brother and half-mother to the point that he regarded them as his second family

In fact he supported them so much despite his deceased father's disapproval, to the point that his half-mother quits on being a prostitute and build a business of her own in the capital with her son

Like wise even his half-mother and half-brother treated him as an extended family, thus they really had a good relationship, which made the passing of crown much easier than expected

After the declaration of the Emperor's death, two weeks has then passed in a blink of an eye as the coronation of the Emperor Amos half-brother  commences in the royal castle

Just like that Emperor Amos half-mother and half-brother then transferred all of their belongings to the royal castle as they were inclined to live in the establishment due to the status of being a royalty

At the ripe age of 16, Emperor Amos half-brother was then officially known as the new Emperor of the Amid Empire

After the coronation ceremony which was celebrated by the whole empire, Emperor Amos half-brother and half-mother then retreated silently into the castle's hallways and met with Emperor Amos and Queen Asagi at the veranda, seemingly drinking tea to pass the time

Sensing their arrival, Emperor Amos or better yet simply Amos due to his status being revoked to a normal citizen, then introduced his half-brother and half mother to Asagi

"Your majesty!" said Amos half-mother

"Brother!" called out Amos half-brother

"Hahahaha! No need for formalities, after all we are all friends and family, plus I'm not a royalty any longer, since I am dead on paper"

"By the way this is my half-mother and my half-brother, mother Anastacia and Rusch... and this is my  camaraderie in that deceiving stunt the sky queen of all angels... Queen Asagi"

"Your Majesty!!!" said both Anastacia and Emperor Rusch

"No need for formalities, you can speak to any way your comfortable at" replied Asagi

hearing the queen of angels words, both Anastacia and Emperor Rusch then lighten up as Anastacia quickly walked up towards Asagi and entered to what seemingly called a girls talk, on the other hand Emperor Rusch walked towards Amos as he showed his concerns

"To be exact I'm still quite shock to see your stunt to fake your death to actually work brother! you actually fooled your own citizens, nevertheless if you haven't informed me of your plan, maybe ill be also deceived by such an act" said Emperor Rusch

"Indeed! even thought its not flawless, it is quite enough to deceive anyone who were not suspecting anything" replied Amos

"Yes... Even thought i know the reason why you did such a stunt and you've already explained to me and mother about your circumstances, I'm still not confident enough to actually lead the whole empire to prosperity, after all I'm just a simple businessman the other day and not an emperor, thus this came in a shock for me" said Emperor Rusch

"I know... but I believe that you will make the right choice" said Amos with a smile, completely showing his trust towards his half-brother

Seeing such a smile, Emperor Rusch then had no reason to frown at all as he too smiled the same way

"By the way... your leaving the Empire tomorrow right? where are you going?" asks Rusch

"well since i have to leave the empire and see the whole world for my eyes, then i would literally have to migrate to the Kingdom in the sky and follow the angels, but don't worry i will bring along about three of my trusted companions to protect me, thus you wouldn't have to worry for my safety at all" answered Amos

"So it's already been planned out?"

"Yes! everything is already prepared. the only thing left is for me to act out those plans, but don't worry I'll still guide you along the way by the use of transmitter"

"I see... then this will be my last time seeing you personally?" asked Emperor Rusch

"Not quite! As long as were both still alive, we would still meet each other in the future"

As Amos said those words, Anastacia who performed as a mother for both of them then suddenly went behind them and gave them a big motherly hug, totally expressing her genuine care for Amos and for his safety in his travels to come

Within that they then spent the whole night talking top each other as they all expressed their thoughts on the matter regarding the future destination of Floating kingdom

After that night the whole floating Kingdom spent two whole month in the airspace of empire before they finally met the edge of the empire's border facing the northern sea of the middle continent

Upon seeing the sight of the ocean right before them, numerous people inside the kingdom's walls couldn't help but ran towards the edge of the kingdom's land and sightsee the ocean below, after all for them the sight of the see was quite a rare scene for all

Even Amos himself was sightseeing the ocean at the edge of the kingdom and was somehow excited by this new sight in front of him

Throughout the span of 2 months in the Empire's land, the former emperor Amos himself was fully transferred under the custody of the castle in the sky as he was then converted as the kingdom's ordinary citizen and 2nd advisor to the queen

At the same time due to the popularity of the kingdom somehow spreading to all nation in the middle continent, numerous establishment sprouted all over the kingdom's land, causing the population to suddenly rise up in numbers, at this very moment the population that migrated into Asagi's kingdom, had somehow reached about 30, 000 population

Due to that size and the increasing amount of people living in the kingdom's walls, small villages then started to sprout out outside the Kingdom's capital  numbering about 8 small villages

At first there was quite a commotion among the people regarding the legality of such settlements, but with Asagi's permission and transfer of management towards to some of her trusted angels, she was then able to accommodate eveyrones worry as they all happily built up their small towns

Of course to help the angels to manage such rural place, some trusted elders begun leading the people, which then soon titled as head chief of every villages, nevertheless all they could do was lead the lifestyle of the people and nothing more

Alongside the sprout of such villages, the agriculture naturally boomed all over the kingdom as each villages planted their respective specialties on their land, but all in all the harvest mostly consist of three  products Potatoes, Rice, and Apples, which rose the reputation of the farming firm, which was also envied by the fishing firm of the kingdom, but such a problem was for another day

Next up the business in the Kingdom's capital also boomed alongside the agriculture, as businesses ranging from entertainment to commodities slowly lined up in the market area of the capital, in fact one could even see some restaurants sprouting up in such place

After that the resident area also grew larger as more people migrate to this place, which soon became quite a boisterous place for people of all statuses

 In parallel to the growth of the Kingdom's lands outside the capital's wall, monsters naturally started to spawn around the area, causing the adventurer's guild led by Darius to suddenly become busy with request in their business, even thought there are monster subjugation sprouting up on the request board due to the monster spawn in the area, the majority of such request naturally consist of medicinal gathering

In 2 months span of construction, the teleportation tower was finally complete which connected to Celeste Kingdom, causing hordes of people to suddenly surged in the kingdom to visit the place with their own eyes

Seeing the completion of such tower, Amos naturally requested to have a connection established within his former empire, and with his former reputation, the empire naturally obliged under the permission of their current emperor, which then was built up through magic causing it to be completed in no more than 4 weeks

Make do note that the three people that were assigned as Amos trusted guards were Leon, Benkei, and Iris themselves, the three people who guarded and fought against the angels in the border of the celeste Kingdom

Of course since the empire successfully created a connection of teleportation tower in the empire towards the floating kingdom, the Estia Kingdom and Orboume Kingdom naturally requested such a connection, which then gave the construction team of the Azure kingdom a lot of projects to tackle

Speaking of projects, the academy which was being constructed inside the kingdom also finally completed under that short span of time and upon hiring of teachers in the neighboring kingdom, the enrollment of the students for the season then finally undergoes, of courtse with special recommendation, both Anna and Llyod were automatically admitted in the academy under Asagi's command

Likely all their expenses are managed by Asagi, thus they can be regarded as scholars

After a few days after that topic, Asagi then somehow had successfully added two archangels among the ranks of her group, with the rewards from her emergency task and the profit she gained from her booming industry, she naturally had enough just to summon two among the 12 archangels

The first one was a blue haired bob cut guy in a leather cloth armor, seemingly a person who is light on his feet, and the second one was a fully armored purple haired woman seemingly a warrior who relies on brute force

Upon appraisal, Asagi naturally bestowed them their own rune law and their own names which became their symbol as one of the archangels in the kingdom

Lastly under the promise that Queen Celestia made towards Asagi, the survivors of the port town were naturally gathered before the queen as they were acceptingly migrated towards the floating kingdom under strict requirements and security

With that said both Anna and Lloyd naturally met up with their parents as they each told their own side of their story

With a relived expression upon finally reuniting with their family, both Anna and Lloyd then told their parent their current occupation as they introduced them to Asagi, causing their parent to be truly grateful to the queen of angels, in that very moment Asagi then finally managed to obtain their very first most loyal follower in her kingdom

With all that and said Asagi then finally waved goodbye to her previous adventure and begun their adventure as her whole kingdom continuously traveled north towards the northern continent
