[Azure Kingdom, Sky Castle]

After a whole night has passed, Asagi then immediately returned back to her kingdom at the break of dawn in order to prepare for the inevitable clash against the empire's forces, and the moment she had returned safe and sound in her own throne room, she then used the system privileges to broadcast her announcement all over her kingdom using a type of spatial magic 

In that early in the morning, she then announced to every citizen within her kingdom that the whole Kingdom itself will then slowly enter the state of war in accordance to the movement of the empire, thus when she announced such news panic and worry then spread-out towards the populace as everyone got concerned over an international issue at hand

Even the angels themselves that were serving under her own command was confused on the reason why their own queen had picked a fight against the humans, thus to answer all their questions in their mind, she then slowly explained the situation among the people and clarified that none of the normal citizens in her kingdom would be recruited into the army for such a war

After all the only reason why she finally gained citizens within her kingdom is all because of the business prospects  in her own territory, additionally to that most of her citizens are people who lost their land and home in the Celeste Kingdom and thinking of starting anew and residents in her own floating kingdom in the sky

Since her kingdom space was so big, all the immigrating people that are entering her own kingdom could literally fit inside the castle walls, because of that there are literally no villages or towns outside her own walls

Hearing the fact that ordinary citizens in her kingdom isn't included in the war against the empire, most of the people then calmed down for a bit, while some still worried about the fact that they may enter an international conflict with one of the biggest ruler in the continent

After stating her own business, she finally then concluded her own broadcast as she then opened up for the archangels around her in terms of their question

In accordance to that Michael then firstly asked his own fill of curiosity towards Asagi

"We are entering a war against an empire on the surface? An issue that is literally have no connections to our goal in the far north? I just don't understand? Why would you insist on putting yourself into a conflict that has literally has no sort of benefit to us?"

Hearing his question Asagi then slumped unto her throne and asked back a question

"Do we help if only it benefited us? Does everything we need to do have to be something of benefit? Such human desires doesn't suite you Michael... We could call it pity or generosity, we are just returning the favor on what is indebted to us, we may be angels in appearance but we should really attain what is called humanity to help... Seeking benefit on something we are indebted to is just another form of greed Michael, you should have thought of that"

At that moment Michael himself was stunned silent , upon hearing Asagi's words, in  which he couldn't retort at all

But seeking reason on why the kingdom was going into a state of war, Ariel then just asked

"Then why? Surely you have some reason on why you plan to join this war between the surface dwellers right?"

"Indeed! in fact the only reason why I'm joining this war is because our encounter against the empire's forces is inevitable, no matter how i think of it, we would naturally encounter them one way or another" answered Asagi

"You said it's inevitable, are you saying that the empire is in the north side?" Asked Gabriel

"Yes they are"
