Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

Chapter 70: Birthday Celebration of an Acquaintance

[Celeste Kingdom]

At the very next night arriving at the capital city of Celeste Kingdom, Asagi together with Ariel and Uriel then took off their coat due to the sudden change of temperature in the area as they were picked up by some carriages from the Queen's castle. Of course as means of transportation, the three of them naturally took the installed teleportation tower from the Azure Kingdom to arrive squarely at the grounds of Celeste Kingdom.

When the carriage arrived, Uriel then took the seat beside the coach, while Asagi and Ariel entered the carriage for a brief briefing of manners that she had to undergo when mingling with the nobility circle.

As the carriage started to move, Ariel then reminded Asagi about what they had talked yesterday together with Amos in terms of attending such an occasion. Of course the conversation went on like this

*********
(Yesterday)

[Amos: "So your going to attend the party?"]

[Asagi: "Well of course I'm going to attend! I need to keep my connections with the royalty in the middle continent as healthy and strong as possible"]

[Amos: "I see... Have you learned the manner and etiquette when attending such a party which is hosted by another country?']

[Asagi: "... Is that necessary?"]

[Amos: "Well of course it is! Your a royalty, you need to look the part"]

[Asagi: "Do i really have to? I mean nobody complained when i acted casually during the kingdom's crown prince coming of age celebratory"]

[Amos: "That is because your an unknown powerhouse before! Because of that all of your actions  were taken in consideration"]

[Asagi: "Eh?"]

[Amos: "Don't eh me... they wont take your actions in consideration forever you know, plus not everyone looks at you in admiration"]

[Asagi: "What do you mean?"]

[Amos: "You know what i mean! If there are good nobles, there are also bad ones who are against you"]

[Asagi: "Well i know that, but they don't look like that when i conversed with them in the past"]

{Amos: "That's what they are on the surface, No bad nobles would openly show its true character in public... You may see them happily talking to you as if they were your friends, but the moment they turned their backs on you, they would naturally badmouth you... even a minor mistake you make could make them scorn you as if your worthless"]

[Asagi: "Well... that is true, i mean I've already experienced that... its just that my motto in life is if they mess with me, I'll ruin their lives kinda thing... as long as they keep it in to themselves, i wont go after them"]

[Amos: "That... Anyway I'm just telling you to act the part since your representing the whole kingdom"]

[Asagi: "The heck? Why are you so uptight?"]

[Amos: "Its because I'm currently a resident of this fucking Kingdom! Meaning if you embarrass yourself, you'll embarrass me... I cant afford that"]

[Asagi: "Sheesh! Talk about overacting"]

[Amos: "From this day forward I'll shape you up on how should you act in public... From this moment I'll be your kingmaker, or better yet in this situation a queenmaker"]

Remembering everything that happened last night, Asagi then sigh deeply as she was then called out by Ariel upon noticing her mood.
