Heavenly Kingdom: The Kingdom among the clouds

Chapter 165: In The Face Of Death II

[City of Anvil]

After buying the flowers, Asagi and hero Sato then in turn begun exploring the city in honest of their own will. While they were exploring, they became quite surprised at the fact that there is no such thing as slum in this city, but rather a well governed populated city of dreams.

The absence of hardship in this city, only dictates that the governance was right and people en masse were benefiting for it. This is something that Asagi was shocked about. After all even on earth, it was quite hard for such thing to be accomplished, but here it was quite possible.

Good governance refers to the process of decision-making and implementation by authorities, which is transparent, accountable, participatory, responsive to the needs of the people, and follows the rule of law. It involves effective management of resources, promotion of justice and equity, and ensuring the rights and well-being of all citizens.

After that they then went to the city square which has a tall monolith standing in the middle which looks over the city. Upon seeing this monolith, Asagi is surprised once more at just how detailed and descriptive the monolith is. On its surface, there are carvings on it which was so intricate and ancient that even Asagi couldn't figure out its meaning.

"Amazing!" Exclaimed by Asagi

"What is?" Asked by hero Sato

"This... This carvings"

"Oh..."

"This must be ancient language, even though some may just regard this as some kind of art with no meaning, this however has meaning in of itself and its people are ignorant of such things"

"So it has meaning, can you read it?"

"Unfortunately i cant, even though i'm a queen, i was never a god, so i'm not proficient enough to understand this in just a snap"

"So even you has its own flaws"

"Of course i have em, there is no one perfect"

Once they had that small talk, Asagi continued to watch over it, before leaving and going to another place in the city. As they continued to walk, they soon learned of an amazing tourist spot from one of the locals, as it describe the place as ordinary but beautiful. Following its advice, they soon reached the entrance of the said place, and entered in its entrance tunnel.

Not long after as they entered the tunnel, they then came out of the slope which drags both of them upwards as they saw the city in its higher plane of observance. Not long after, they then arrived at the cliff which oversees the whole city and shows just how majestic and brilliance the city is.

After awhile of silently observing the city, Asagi and hero Sato then decided to take their leave, as they slowly descend down the slope and leave the area which is famous for its tourist attraction. After that they then returned to the inn as their stroll ended with the sight of the city imprinted on their mind.

Once they got back, they then entered their own room, as Asagi was quite exhausted from all the walking she had done throughout the day. With that she then sat on her chair as she silently observed the city through the window and somewhat experienced boredom once more in her isolation.

Boredom that she had almost forgotten due to how busy she was, now that she had time to rest, she couldn't help but feel the nostalgia once more as she remembered her time on earth in her cycle of boredom.

Whenever she was on her day off, Asagi would mostly spend her time on her room with nothing much of a thought but to rest in itself. "Resting" typically refers to the act of taking a break or relaxing. It could mean physically resting by lying down or sitting quietly, or it could refer to taking a mental break from work or activities. Resting is important for recharging your energy, reducing stress, and maintaining overall well-being.
