God's Reign

Heaven's Queen

Angelique was in Heaven's royal gardens tending to the pomegranate and apple trees. It was another beautiful day, with the golden sun casting light beyond the horizon of clouds. She smiled. It had been a few months since God had revealed his plans. It was quite quaint. And even more, she was the first queen of Heaven. Well, technically, she was the third. But the two before her hadn't been able to keep up with Chess. They had remained as a Pawn while she had won her place as Queen. And it felt great. But Angelique had her own agenda. The first step of gaining God's trust had been a success. Now it was on to taking her marriage to the next level. She had been patient enough while assisting God with his plans. Soon it'd be time to ask him for a very special favor. Angelique was a patient woman. But she was also a woman who never missed an opportunity to get what she wanted.

About a week later, Angelique was waiting for her husband after dinner. A few last-minute issues of the day had sprung up. One, in particular, was very worrisome. A small population of the living world had begun turning into something pitiful. They were making all of his work look bad. They were literally the worst. Upon hearing this, God immediately launched an investigation. If the sources were correct, punishment was coming for the heathens. But for tonight, God retired to his room. Angelique was there waiting with that beautiful yet devious smile that he loved. She embraced him and reminded him that tonight was the due date to return the favor. In much need of a distraction, he agreed without hesitation. The following words made God speechless. After a moment, he realized that her request would only benefit him in the long run. And he gladly agreed. Angelique's smile turned into a grin. She truly had struck the wedding lottery. It wouldn't be long now before her little plans were complete.
