Side Chapter 24: Two King's Perspectives

This takes place in other places at the same time as Lunas ascension.

[Lobo POV]

So, let me get this straight. Amagi and Deacons daughter is ascending to godhood. Amagi and Deacon are Apostles of gods, one of which is our countrys patron goddess. AND their daughter is not only becoming a goddess, but also marrying our countrys patron goddess. Am I missing anything? (Blanca)

The fact that Lunas party members are all her Apostles or someone elses. (Selene)

*Sigh* Why am I the last one learning about any of this? (Blanca)

Well, our brothers dont know either. (Selena)

Not the point. And Lobo, stop just sitting there looking out the window. (Blanca)

Come look. (Lobo)

What? (Blanca)

Come look. Something is happening. (Lobo)

Outside the window, the night sky was being filled with shining lights. The scene was beautiful, yet I could also tell that it was going to cause an uproar the world over. Things like this didnt happen, at least not in anyone that I knows lifetime. As I was starting to stress about things that I would soon have to do in order to explain things to my people, my daughters started to pointing at something.

Look! (Selene)

Hehehe. She knows exactly what shes doing and doing it in the flashiest way possible. (Selena)

Two foxes dances across the sky, mesmerizing me once more.

Well, Ill forgive you for not telling me this stuff since you were most likely asked not to share it. Now, what are we going to do? (Blanca)

Well, well need to make a festival to celebrate this, especially since, as Deacons daughter, shell have probably shown herself somewhere else in the capital before coming here. We also need to figure out what exactly these glowing things in the sky are for and if they are dangerous. After that, we need a way to spread the word so that our people dont panic. (Lobo)

I sat down in a chair close to me and let out a big sigh. I felt someone put their hand on my back to comfort me and looked over to see Blanca giving me a pitting look. She opened her mouth to say something but before she could, someone ran into the room without knocking.

Apologies for the disrespect, Your Majesty, but something has happened.

If its about the sky, I already know. (Lobo)

No, its about the adventurers, theyve started going around and buying up all the alcohol in the city and have set up an impromptu festival with the guild at its center.

She really did stop by somewhere else first. (Lobo)

YOUR MAJESTY!

Another person ran into the room in the same way the knight before did.

Yes? (Lobo)

That mysterious magic affinity has finally reacted!

(Blanca)

Is something wrong, Blanca? (Lobo)

Not really, but Ive been wondering about that for a while now. (Blanca)

You have the affinity as well, my queen?

Yes. Though I didnt realize that something had changed until someone said something and I checked myself. (Blanca)

What should we do then?

Go and try to figure out what kind of magic can be used. Report your findings to me and Blanca at a later date with your opinion on how useful or dangerous this magic can be. (Lobo)

Yes, Your Majesty.

What should we do about the adventurers?

The Goddess of the Moon.

Yes. So with her walking around the city with eight tails in full view, what do you all think is going to happen? (Drome)

Absolute chaos.

Correct. Nia is already preparing to handle the physical work of this, but we need to start on the bureaucratic side. Well need to find people to work at the shrine, choose how big or how many festivals are going to be held for this occasion, and more. (Drome)

Something like this is big, so shouldnt we invite Grand Master Grey here to discuss if the guild will assist in these important things?

Hard to say. The Grand Master most likely knows everything we do if not more, so I say we wait until he reaches out to us. (Drome)

One of the nobles was just about to say something when I noticed something happening outside. I quickly stood up, knocking my chair over, and running to the window. The nobles looked over to me to see why I did that before doing the same thing I did. Outside the window, a scene that I could never have imagined seeing was occurring.

Quickly rising into the sky was the plot of land that Lunas shrine was on. It stopped at a higher elevation than the castles island, but not high enough that I couldnt see the shrine at a good angle. I could see a strange magic circle surrounding the entire island before it started to glow bright enough to blind someone. When the light faded and I could see out the window again, I saw the sky starting to change.

Whats happening?

Is this an ill omen? On such an auspicious day?

No, its not an ill omen. Its what she was aiming for. (Drome)

Your Majesty, while Ive held my tongue this far, I must ask how exactly you know that the new goddess.

Shes the daughter of General Deacon of Savannah and Lady Amagi. Rexs niece. (Drome)

!

While I bet shes never even given any of you the time of day, youve all probably seen her walking around with Nia at some point in the past. (Drome)

The nobles ruminated on this information as the sky filled with lights. A few of them were murmuring things to themselves, but one caught my attention the most.

I see. A shame that I couldnt have introduced my son to her. She was the best prospective marriage candidate, but all my letters were never replied to.

Duke. You would have never been able to get her or her family to agree. (Drome)

Why, your Majesty?

Shes Fated to be with the Moon Goddess. (Drome)

!!!

The others murmuring stopped.

Your Majesty. Th-

I know. Were going to need to spread the word about that as well, so lets all get back to figuring out all that we need to do. Im going to give all of you as detailed an explanation that I can with the information that I have. From there we will need to consult someone with more knowledge on her goals so that we can figure out what is and isnt alright to do. (Drome)

I moved away from the window, fixed my chair, and sat down. The other nobles followed shortly after. We were all prepared for a long discussion that would take the rest of the night and most of the next day.

Chaos Realm:

Thanks Order. You did good keeping things from going absolutely chaotic.

Order: It was simple. Though I have to say, seeing stars for the first time really caused a lot of mental stress for people. I mean, I knew fear of the unknown was a thing, but I didn't realize it would do something to an extent that I needed to step in to keep people calm.

Astraea: Mommy is amazing.

Order: You cute little bean, come here and give mommy a hug.

Astraea: YAY!

*Astraea runs over and jumps into Order's arms.* *I reach over and pat both of their heads*

Astraea: Hehehehehe.

Order: Hehehehehe.
