Chapter 70: Birthday Celebration of an Acquaintance
[Celeste Kingdom]
At the very next night arriving at the capital city of Celeste Kingdom, Asagi together with Ariel and Uriel then took off their coat due to the sudden change of temperature in the area as they were picked up by some carriages from the Queen's castle. Of course as means of transportation, the three of them naturally took the installed teleportation tower from the Azure Kingdom to arrive squarely at the grounds of Celeste Kingdom.
When the carriage arrived, Uriel then took the seat beside the coach, while Asagi and Ariel entered the carriage for a brief briefing of manners that she had to undergo when mingling with the nobility circle.
As the carriage started to move, Ariel then reminded Asagi about what they had talked yesterday together with Amos in terms of attending such an occasion. Of course the conversation went on like this
*********
(Yesterday)
[Amos: "So your going to attend the party?"]
[Asagi: "Well of course I'm going to attend! I need to keep my connections with the royalty in the middle continent as healthy and strong as possible"]
[Amos: "I see... Have you learned the manner and etiquette when attending such a party which is hosted by another country?']
[Asagi: "... Is that necessary?"]
[Amos: "Well of course it is! Your a royalty, you need to look the part"]
[Asagi: "Do i really have to? I mean nobody complained when i acted casually during the kingdom's crown prince coming of age celebratory"]
[Amos: "That is because your an unknown powerhouse before! Because of that all of your actions were taken in consideration"]
[Asagi: "Eh?"]
[Amos: "Don't eh me... they wont take your actions in consideration forever you know, plus not everyone looks at you in admiration"]
[Asagi: "What do you mean?"]
[Amos: "You know what i mean! If there are good nobles, there are also bad ones who are against you"]
[Asagi: "Well i know that, but they don't look like that when i conversed with them in the past"]
{Amos: "That's what they are on the surface, No bad nobles would openly show its true character in public... You may see them happily talking to you as if they were your friends, but the moment they turned their backs on you, they would naturally badmouth you... even a minor mistake you make could make them scorn you as if your worthless"]
[Asagi: "Well... that is true, i mean I've already experienced that... its just that my motto in life is if they mess with me, I'll ruin their lives kinda thing... as long as they keep it in to themselves, i wont go after them"]
[Amos: "That... Anyway I'm just telling you to act the part since your representing the whole kingdom"]
[Asagi: "The heck? Why are you so uptight?"]
[Amos: "Its because I'm currently a resident of this fucking Kingdom! Meaning if you embarrass yourself, you'll embarrass me... I cant afford that"]
[Asagi: "Sheesh! Talk about overacting"]
[Amos: "From this day forward I'll shape you up on how should you act in public... From this moment I'll be your kingmaker, or better yet in this situation a queenmaker"]
*********
Remembering everything that happened last night, Asagi then sigh deeply as she was then called out by Ariel upon noticing her mood.
"Your majesty! What's wrong? Are you feeling ill? If you like we can cancel our attendance to this party"
Hearing Her concerned voice, Asagi then smiled lightly as she clarifies her mood to Ariel.
"Its not that... I'm fine"
As if realizing what's troubling the queen, Ariel then straightened her back as she said.
"Is that so? Looks like your still troubled from what happened last night... But as long as you remembered what was taught to you by Amos, you would naturally be able to do well in this party"
Upon hearing Ariel's words, Asagi then remembered the event last night when Amos deliberately drilled all the etiquette that Asagi should know in such situation. Due to Amos enthusiasm, the lesson had spanned out till midnight when everyone was finally asleep. Even though she was tired, Amos wouldn't let her rest as he kept his nagging on further after the lesson till the break of dawn.
In other words, Asagi couldn't even get a wink of sleep due to Amos, resulting to her missing her work during the day. At that she was only able to sleep when the sun came and woke up when the sun was about to set.
When she woke up, She naturally ate her breakfast (In her terms) and took a bath to prepare herself for the party that she was going to attend. By that time, she thought that she would be free of any burden. However never did she expect that the moment she finished her p[reparation, Amos would suddenly barge into her room and begun briefing her of what they learned last night.
All in all it was a hectic day for her.
Soon after the carriage then arrived at the castle as she stepped out of the vehicle and changed her outfit to a dress proper for such an occasion in just a single snap of fingers. Since Asagi has the system, she naturally had the character wardrobe customization in her setting. As for how it works, it is as follow.
1. Buy or make a dress.
2. Let the system scan the dress and turn it into a data molecule.
3. Upload the scanned dress blueprint in her character wardrobe customization.
4. Freely equip the dress whenever she like.
With such a convenient function, Asagi was then free of the labor of putting on a dress as it was already exactly fit for her whenever she edit her dress blueprint. With that she can freely change her dress whenever she like without getting undressed.
In a single snap of her finger, she then appeared in a bare back dress that she had recently bought and modified in her capital's store.
Her dress is a short sleeved bare back dress which openly reveals her back and her white angel wings, a front slit skirt that reaches her ankle and reveals the garter belt in her legs, and a black glimmering heels which added her height when standing up. Alongside that she had the tip of her hair done in a frilly way and her skin applied with a whitening lotion which made her glow even more.
With her angelic beauty coupled with her attention seeking somewhat erotic dress (cause of the garter belt), Asagi naturally stand out to the point that the guards in the castle was shocked silly by her beauty.
When the attendant approached her, he naturally was shocked for a moment before he suddenly bowed and asked for Asagi's attendance.
"Good evening! You must be the queen of angels"
"Yes i am"
"I-i see... please this way... I will lead you to the location of the party"
With that everyone then entered the castle as they intended from the very beginning. When they entered however, Asagi's appearance naturally too eyeca6tching to the points that the maids in the castle along with the guards and butlers couldn't help but look her way. On the way to the party's location, even the attendant himself couldn't help but take a few glances at her.
Soon after they then arrived before a huge door as the attendant requested both Ariel and Uriel to standby outside while Asagi would enter the venue alone. After getting the two archangel's approval, the attendant then bowed in respect to them before he quickly knocked on the door to alert the guard inside and announce Asagi's arrival.
"The Sky queen, Queen of the angels, Queen of the Azure Kingdom, Queen Asagi have arrived"
With the attendant's announcement, all the nobles and royalty's invited in the party then turned towards the door's location, as they saw the entrance door slowly open up and reveal Asagi's figure for a long time after not showing up[ in public for 5 months.
The moment they saw Asagi's figure and dress, all men on the party hall couldn't help but stunned silly as they saw her black dress which stirred up their inner desire due to how much skin was exposed (Mostly because of the black garter belt that is visible on the front slit). Alongside that even the women in the area couldn't help but be shocked by Asagi's beauty coupled with her snow white skin that literally look like it came out of a fairytale.
But the most attention seeker of them all in respect to the dress design was the open back design of the dress which exposed Asagi's huge white wings which she dragged from behind and her smooth white slender back. If one could describe Asagi's beauty in the form of an angel in a black dress, everyone would naturally describe her as an "angel of darkness".
After settling down the moment she arrived, Some nobles whop were purely interested in her beauty then approached her in all direction as they introduced themselves in each turn. Naturally in such an approach, all of these men's desire to acquire her for themselves were naturally stirred up causing some noble women from afar to become jealous of her doll like beauty.
"Your majesty! I am baron Von Alberch! It is a pleasure to meet you"
"Your majesty! I am Marquess Eldritch! Truthfully I'm surprised, you look stunning to night"
"Your majesty! I am Earl Salome! Honestly your dress took me away, your just too beautiful tonight"
"Your majesty! I am Viscount Eshil! May i have a chance to invite you in my estate?"
"Your majesty!..."
"Your majesty!..."
*********
*****************
As the nobles who got charmed by Asagi's beauty surrounded her due to the attention she had manage to capture due to her dress, a Viscounts daughter suddenly came into the rescue as she waved some of authority and split the sea of men flocking around Asagi like some kind of a messiah.
"I greet Your majesty the queen of the angels"
"You are?" asked Asagi
"I'm the daughter of Viscount Bruce Atkinson, Katarina Atkinson"
As if seeing a thread of hope from escaping the sea of men surrounding her with eye full of desire, Asagi then approached Katarina as she happily greeted back.
"Greetings!"
"Likewise! So may i have the chance to talk to you regarding some serious business involved?"
"Gladly"
With Asagi's permission, Katarina then pulled her out of her predicament as she led her to a place in the hall not quite crowded by the nobles from before. However due to how attention seeking her dress was, some of the nobles still look her way as they observed the conversation between her and some daughter of a powerful viscount.
Taking that chance, Asagi then proceeded to thank the daughter of the viscount.
"Thank you for pulling me out of that situation"
"The appreciation is unneeded, when i saw that you were troubled by those men who had hidden desire for your beauty, i couldn't help but want to extend my helping hand to you"
"I see... Still thank you"
With that Katarina then faced Asagi as she said.
"Nevertheless even thought you earned the desire of men, you also earned some of the ire of other women who took this gathering as a chance to find a proper partner in life"
"Seriously? they're taking such cute and peaceful gathering for a chance of matchmaking with some men?" Asked Asagi as she observed the female crowd in the party
"Regretfully yes! After all social gathering in this kingdom isn't that too frequent from new and aspiring nobles or heir, in order to have a better future in which they could live satisfyingly, the young women had no choice but to put it all they got to attract good looking wealthy kind young men" answered by Katarina
"I see..."
"Yes and your presence naturally wasted their efforts, since all you have to do was to show up in your attention seeking dress and expose some skin to get the attention of all young men in the crowd, thus causing the ire"
After hearing Katarina's explanation, Asagi then slowly nodded as she understood such feeling. After all back in her world F2P players often get envious towards people that are P2W which showed off their high tiered items and gears at an early stage. Due to how eye catching the P2W players are, the F2P players would naturally scowl in envy towards such players due to unequal privilege's in the game.
Of course Asagi has no qualms in that since she too is a P2W player due to her having a job and earning some cash. Nevertheless those jobless F2P players would still envy her wherever she goes.
"Anyway I'm glad you pulled me out of their by making up some excuse like a personal issue"
Hearing Asagi's words, Katarina then cocked her head for awhile as she clarified some things.
"You think i made that up? No I'm serious i got some serious topic i want to discuss with you"
"Eh? seriously?"
"Seriously!"
With that kind of an answer, Asagi then calmed her nerves for awhile before she look towards the daughter of the viscount and asked her purpose for approaching her.
"So what do you want from me?"
With such question, Katarina naturally responded
"Business related of course... I want to install our family's store in your kingdom, of course i would need some permission from you and the queen from this international branch off of our store, nevertheless if you can assure that you would allow our business to branch out to you, i can guarantee a profitable revenue for your kingdom"
Hearing her offer, Asagi was then put on a tight decision.
