[Azure Kingdom, Sky castle]

With the request coming from the veteran adventurer named Darius, Asagi then slightly smiled back as she replied

"Well there is nothing wrong with that right? In fact we had so much space and houses around our castle walls that we don't even know what to do with them... "

Hearing that Darius was slightly stunned for a moment before he stuttered

"Does that mean..."

In face of Darius request Asagi then simply smiled back as she said

"Indeed! I'll allow you to live in my kingdom, in my land, in my territory... you can choose wherever you wanted to stay, and use any equipment you find in the city outside this castle walls... the only thing you needed to heed is that you will need my permission if you wanted to acquire something"

Upon hearing Asagi's word Darius once again bowed his head as he thanked Asagi with wholeheartedness

Seeing Darius act like that, the rest of the survivors followed suite as they quickly got on their knees and thanked Asagi

With that Asagi then declared

"From now on you will be citizen of the Azure Kingdom, thus as being citizens of this kingdom, I Asagi, Mikumi the Sky Queen will be your ruler"

At that declaration everyone of the people inside the room, including the survivors then bowed respectfully, after all they are already accustomed on being ruled by a royalty, thus such changes in ruler doesn't affect them that much at all

With that being said Asagi then called out towards Dalton which under Michael's men and ordered him to assist the survivors to settle down on their new home

With a respectful expression, Dalton then eagerly accepted such task as he led Darius and the others towards the residents area outside the castle walls

Due to the fact that Asagi had gained new residents inside her castle, she then immediately put ahold on eliminating the monsters outside her kingdom walls in case Darius goes out to hunt them

Of course that was in consideration towards his occupation, nevertheless she still felt that for some reason in the near future, her own kingdom might start its own guild due to the increasing adventurers staying in her kingdom walls

Soon after the survivors left and was assisted in their settlement, the twins on the other hand quickly approaches Asagi in their little steps and seemingly calming themselves around her

Seeing their reaction, Asagi then concluded that the twins may perhaps not yet accustomed to so many newcomers in the castle, thus the result of their shyness being displayed earlier

With that Asagi casually breath out a mouthful of air as she faced the twins

"You guys have been silent all this time, aren't you going to say hi towards those survivors? After all they did came from the same town as the both of you"

Hearing her both Anna and Lloyd then turned towards her as they replied

"Its completely different!" Said Anna

"Yes! Yes!" Added Lloyd

"Its just that we barely knew them at all, even though we came from the same town that doesn't mean that we actually knew them" explained Anna

"Is that so?" Asked Asagi as she tilted her head in confusion, before putting a thought on it

Seeing her act that way Anna then further said

"Yes! Aside from our father, mother, uncle, some people by the port, and fathers co-workers, we don't know anyone else in the town"

Hearing that Asagi then pondered on something as she asked
