Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

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
