After the long silence, the Angel Kings in the Heavenly Court bowed and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, we understand."
"We'll do our best to support her."
"We'll not falter from our responsibilities."
One by one, they agreed and added to what Alex had just said.
Alex explained everything with such benevolence and in such a delicate manner that these people had nothing to retort. At the same time, they also understood the importance of looking after each other.
He reminded them of the Heavenly Court's values, and they knew that the Emperor was correct.
The court was established for the well-being of all Angels, even if they were fallen Angels or living outside the Angel society. The Heavenly Court loved them all equally and cherished each and every one.
Alex lightly nodded his head in response to what everyone was saying. This mild chaos that occurred because of Emilia was sorted in the court, and they all looked forward to seeing what she had to say.

The Elven Continent.
In the Celadon City of the Shiroi Neko Country of the Beast Kingdom, Ralph and Dennis were sitting in a cafe and working on a project.
Ralph had a laptop in front of him while Dennis was drawing on a tablet.
Ding!
A notification popped up on Dennis's phone, and he got distracted.
Taking his phone out of his pocket, he was about to check it when Ralph looked at him and said in a dry tone, "Congrats, you focused for a full two minutes."
Dennis wrinkled his nose and said, "Stop taunting me."
"You shouldn't get distracted so easily," Ralph replied.
"I know. But I have no creative juices flowing in me to draw a logo for the studio. I should just dump it on the artists we hired." Dennis said lazily and slumped on the table.
Ralph thought about it and said, "It won't hurt to ask them to draw things. You can take reference from them and make something new, or you can pick one from it."
Dennis looked at Ralph's pink eyes and said, "I know how to draw. A good artist will never copy another artist."
"I said to take reference, not to copy. And I am really surprised to know you can draw as well." Ralph said and sipped on some hot chocolate.
Dennis rolled on the table and said while yawning, "I always knew how to draaaaaaaw~."
Ralph knitted his brows and gave a look stating 'behave' to Dennis.
He was a Noble Vampire but was behaving like a lazy cat right now. What would people think about the Vampires if people knew about his behavior?
Dennis waved his hand, stating it was fine, and yawned again while rolling on the table. At this moment, he got another notification. Curious to know what it was, he couldn't help but look at it.
The notification was about the news of the academy principal making an appearance.
Dennis raised an eyebrow in interest and sat upright in a proper posture. He then looked at Ralph and said, "See the news."
He then looked at his phone and read the headline, "The Abalax World Academy Principal makes an appearance."
"The War Angel makes an appearance after many millennia."
"The…"
Dennis read a few headlines and Ralph understood the gist of the matter.
He typed in a few things on his laptop and saw the things for himself.
He then commented, "Why is the teacher making an appearance?"
Emilia was his and Dennis's teacher for all the years until they graduated. They had a deep respect for her. Naturally, they were curious to know about her well-being as well.
Dennis shook his head. "That I don't know. I just saw the news."
Ralph took the cup containing hot chocolate and took a sip as he read further. He had multiple thoughts about this news, and unlike Dennis, he thought about things deeply and more practically.
After a few minutes, Ralph looked at Dennis and said, "If I am not wrong, the Seven Sins might hold a meeting today regarding this news."
Dennis, who was busy on his phone, looked at Ralph and asked, "What?"
He didn't understand why he had just said that.
Ralph nodded. "The Angels and the Demons, both, would hold a meeting regarding this. The last time a Seraphim was seen in public was 2,000 years ago. From what I know, the Demons might be planning to do something with the live stream or news."
Dennis was confused. "Why would they do that? I mean… What would they even get by messing with the teacher's live stream?"
Ralph closed the laptop and took a sip of hot chocolate. He looked straight into Dennis's eyes and said, "the world has many weirdos."
Dennis didn't understand this. So he waited for Ralph to elaborate.
Ralph knew the IQ of Dennis and continued, "They might misuse the teacher's words to twist their meaning. They might even fabricate some fake news. She isn't safe on the internet, and if her image is spread in bad form, the angels worshiping her may die by looking at the wrong things."
"Huh?" Dennis was genuinely confused now.
Ralph put down the cup and said thoughtfully, "I'll explain these things to you later. First I need to do something about the meeting. I can't simply let my teacher's image be tarnished."
Saying so, Ralph took out his phone and dialed a number.
It hadn't even been a second since he did that when the person at the other end picked up and said happily,
"Ralph-chwaannn~"
Who else could it be Ralph's mother, Avelyn Asmodeus?
Ralph had called his mother to discuss things with her.
"Mothe—"
"Call me mommy! I am your mommy!" Avelyn interrupted Ralph.
"..." Silence ensued from Ralph's side as his mother didn't let him speak.
"Mother, I—"
"No! Say, mommy!" Avelyn said stubbornly.
For some reason, Ralph could picture his mother pouting on the other side. But he didn't want to say something so informal in public, especially not in front of Dennis.
He had to keep up his formal appearance.
Ralph, trying for one last time, said, "Mo—"
"Mo-ommy! If you don't say it, I am not listening to you." Avelyn said.
Ralph felt irritated. Here he had something important to say, and his mother couldn't understand that he was in public and not somewhere private.
Ralph then said, "Fine, I'll just talk to Robert instead then."
"No wai—"
Beep!
