With the arrival and settlement of two huge figures in the society, everyone in the conference room then greeted each other respectfully as Queen Celestia introduced herself

“Welcome pope Michael to our capital!

*********

Upon being introduced, both prince Rodrick and princess Hayne bowed their heads towards the pope to show respect in front of people in power

In reply towards their greetings, pope Michael then bowed his head towards the royal family and introduced himself

“As am i your majesty!

name’s pope Michael”

following that each sides then taken their seat on their side of the room as Queen Celestia started the conversation in the conference

“Based on what you told your retainers in order to get my attention and arranged such conference, you claim that you have some information about something that might decided the future of my kingdom, alongside it you told us that if we take your words for granted then we would regret it in the future…

now that really made me curious all of the sudden , now tell me what kind of information you hold that we might regret if we take your words for granted”

Upon hearing her question, Pope Michael then took a long breath as he stared back at the queen and replied

“Seemingly my words must have caught your attention indeed…

but i wont dilly dally any longer since what our nun, priest, and bishop have reported back to us after their travel in the south”

“…”

After realizing his comment received silence from all the people around them, the pope then asked the queen a certain question which involves her faith

“Your majesty!

do you believe in angels?”

With that certain question, everyone of the nobles including the crown prince and the princess then rolled their eyes in unison as they felt that such talk will be something bullshit as myth and folktales of old

However the queen herself have a different reaction compared to everyone in the room as she tried to guess on what’s going on inside the head of the pope, nevertheless she answered his question

“Angels?

do you mean those phantasmal creatures that are being told in folktales, myths, and legends?

Don’t tell me that you actually believe them?

they are like stories only believed by the children in order to stay good, they don’t have any supporting claims or documents about their existence at all”

Faced with such words, the pope only nodded in agreement as he replied

“Indeed!

I might have admired their existence through stories i heard when i was a child, in fact I’ve even spent most the remainder of my life just to research about their existence, sadly our religion even lack to support their existence…”

Hearing him Queen Celestia then nodded accordingly when suddenly Pope Michael added more towards his words

“…

until today that is, in fact few days ago a nun from our church and religion was sent to the south in order to look for survivors in the monster attack, but when she reached their destination together with a group of adventurer’s, they were literally shock to witness the existence of angels fighting against an army of monsters…

in fact she even witnessed the divine retribution falling from the sky which annihilated the monsters herself”

Upon that declaration everyone once again had gone quiet , which involves the queen herself dropping her jaw in surprise, In fact they were trying to slowly understand the situation when the Queen herself snapped everyone out of their daze by posing a question of clarification

“..

I…

I didn’t seem to quite get what you mean pope, are you trying to imply perhaps say that these so called angels in myths and folktales are actually real and the people of your religion had actually witnessed them in person?”

Following her question the rest of the nobles then voiced out there opinion as if trying to deny such words coming from the pope himself

“Her majesty is right!

we can’t just believe in mere hearsay! Get faster updates on g.com.

especially you pope!

you should have investigated this subject or manner of rumors and shouldn’t simply believe in such tall tales”

“I second to that notion!

each claim should have a corresponding evidence”

“He’s right!

on what grounds do you prove your claim?”

Hearing everyone’s own opinion towards his words, the pope then sigh in resignation as he replied

“I see…

you are the type of people who would only believe when you see them…

how little faith”

At that kind of reply, every single one of the nobles were clearly provoked by that notion, but before they could even refute the pope’s words, the Queen herself then raised her hand to silence everyone in the room while allowing the pope to continue on his words

“As i was saying, you should believe me when i say that they exist!” said Pope Michael while staring straight towards Queen Celestia

“If that is the case then tell me something that will make me believe in your words” replied Queen Celestia

With that Pope Michael then dropped a sudden information in which the people in the conference didn’t expect

“Then what if i tell you that your citizens in the south had made contact with those angels?, accordingly they were also brought up to their kingdom up above the sky…

which is probably the paradise or heaven base on the bible”

“!!!”

Upon hearing that piece of information that they didn’t expect, every person in the room except for the pope himself was flabbergasted in surprise that they almost spat out the “impossible” word

But as if turning a blind eye to everyone’s reaction, the pope then dropped another bombshell of information which caused chaos and commotion inside the room

“Additional to that information, we had a person on our religion who could see the flow of mana in the surroundings, what’s more he is even sensitive to mana that even if one goes to stealth using magic, he would clearly be able to see them by just observing the movement of mana…”

Hearing his hinting words, the Queens eye then bulged wide in surprises as she asked

“What do you mean?”

With such question asked, Pope Michael then answered briefly with a flat tone

“I’m implementing is that one of my people had seemingly saw or predicted the movement of the angels, and by the direction of their course, they will be arriving in this capital in a weeks time in the south gate…

by then i can assure you that the angels that you have mocked it’s existence will appear at your doorsteps in just a few days”

In that moment everyone was then in a uproar upon having the pope predict the future happening in the kingdom in a week’s time

With that the situation was then splits in half as one side started to sway in their beliefs and believe the pope, while the others stayed strong on their belief that such tales is nothing but false information or nonsense declaration

True to that fact even the crown prince and the princess was split in to two different opinions, which is the crown prince Rodrick seemingly still thinks that such declaration was nothing but false claim, while princess Hayne is seemingly expectant to be able to witness an angel up close

If ever what the pope had said is true, then the angels themselves would then come knocking at their doorsteps in a week’s time

Such opportune would be priceless, in far comparison to seeing a SSS rank beast captured alive in it’s cage

“Angels…

do you really think they exist?

it must be wonderful to see an angel in real life, you can even just imagine their paradise being as beautiful as their species” said Princess Hayne in excitement and sparkles in her eyes but as if annoyed to her antiques Crown prince Rodrick them grumbled beside her

“Are you dumb?

of course they don’t exist, it’s impossible for them to exist at all without prior evidence”

Hearing the crown prince rant, Princess Hayne couldn’t help but stab him with a glare as she felt like the former is a party pooper at this moment, especially on how he acted towards her

But for the Queen herself, after seeing the reaction of her own kids, she couldn’t help but shook her head in resignation as she placed a palm on her temple while rubbing it off from the stress

Following that she then glanced back towards Pope Michael as she asked him some questions regarding his prediction for the end of the week

“So your saying that these so called angels will arrive by the end of the week?

how are you sure that they will come at our doorstep?”

“Pretty sure and pretty confident” replied Pope Michael

Hearing his answer Queen Celestia then gave a wry smile for a moment before commenting back

“Well that’s assuring…

so does this mean that all we have to do is to wait by the end of this week to answer all of our suspicions and questions?”

“Indeed!

With their presence alone, it would then immediately answer your suspicion”

Hearing Pope Michael’s words , Queen Celestia then nodded accordingly causing some of the nobles to suddenly shot off of their seats and voice out their complaints

“Your majesty!!!

are you serious?

are you really believing that guys words without prior evidence?”

“Yes your majesty!

we shouldn’t just believe anything just by hearing it in words…

there must be proof or supporting document”

“Please reconsider your majesty!!!”

As various nobles voice out their thoughts towards Queen Celestia, the person herself however raised up her hand once more to silence everyone in the room, after that she faced those nobles who voiced out their thought and said

“Know your place!

you don’t direct him as just that guy, he is the pope!!!

the highest position in their religion and i am the Queen the ruler of this Kingdom, you have no right to order us around as you please…

you are just a mere noble”

In that instant everyone was then totally silenced from that conjecture, as no one else wanted to interrupt the Queen’s words

After that Queen Celestia then looked back towards Pope Michael as she gave a sigh and replied back to his previous words

“If all we had to do is to wait till all of answers to be answered…

then so shall be it!

we will wait”

Hearing her words the Pope then nodded in contentment as he said

“Then if that is the case then we shall join you, if you ever needed help in terms of conversing with a legend”

With that Queen Celestia then nodded back as they begun to talk another topic regarding the Pope’s visit

[Azure Kingdom, Sky Castle]

On the other hand as the person who actually rules the angels themselves, Asagi mostly spent the rest of her time floating about on her own pool
