Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

Chapter 33: The Empire in the North

[Celeste Kingdom]

Rejecting the Crown prince proposal naturally took a turn for the worse on the people who were expectant of a positive reply, after all throughout the history of their Kingdom, there wasn't a situation in wherein a crown prince's proposal of marriage was rejected by a girl in any kind of occasion or situation

Due to Asagi's own doing of rejecting him, not only did the nobles were utterly shocked by such a reply, they were also all flabbergasted and put to silenced by such an answer, no matter what they say, Asagi's answer was totally unexpected

While the crown prince himself was shocked to the highest degree wherein he doesn't know what to say or feel anymore, Princess Hayne on the other hand couldn't stop her stifle laughter as she giggled at the side from this type of comedy scene

Meanwhile both Queen Celestia and Pope Michael had their own opinion of such matter, even thought they feel bad for the Crown Prince himself especially Queen Celestia since that was her son that got rejected, they still showed a relief expression when Asagi had rejected such proposal, after all things would get complicated if she ever accepted the Crown Prince terms

After rejecting the prince infront of the whole crowd, Asagi then clapped her hands together as she turned towards the crowd and said

"Well there's nothing much to see here, so let's resume the party!"

When she stated that, everyone then gave of a stiff laughter before paying a consoling respect for their crown prince, afterwards they then continued the party till the dead of night

*********

~12:00~

When the time reached 12 in the midnight, the whole venue for the party then went silent as the crowd that once filled the party, slowly left as they bid their respect towards Asagi, Queen Celestia, and Pope Michael

As for the host of the party and the celebrant himself, he slowly left early from the party due to fatigue and embarrassment he had suffered during the occasion, meanwhile as for the princess herself, she then returned to her room to sleep the moment the party ended

While the maids and butler's of the castle tend to the party and slowly clean everything up, Pope Michael, Queen Celestia, and Asagi themselves then moved towards another room as they plan to discuss about the issue regarding the empire on the north

When they arrived in the room, a square table was then laid out at the middle of it, as each of them took their own sides of the table

After settling down on their own sit, they then begun talking about the issue regarding the empire and the unexpected movement of their own military

"Now as you guys were talking about something earlier in the party, what is this empire? What is it's name? Why are they moving their military?" Asked Asagi as she started the whole conversation

Hearing her question Queen Celestia and the Pope then answered her equally

"Well as you may know this whole continent that we are residing in, is split into four sections or better yet four rulers... taking Queen Celestia and her Celeste Kingdom aside which is located on the south of the continent, two royal family lay on both the east and west of the kingdom respectively the Orboume Kingdom and Estia Kingdom... while the northern part of the continent lays the Amid Empire, of course since they are called the empire, they naturally has the biggest territory among the four nations in the continent" said Pope Michael

"Putting aside ethe two kingdom who stayed as a peaceful country for about 3 decades, the Amid empire on the other hand started showing signs of military movement in their nation about 6 months ago, thus putting all three peaceful nation into distress, after all if worse comes to it, the empire's blades may be directed to either the three of us" said Queen Celestia
