Chapter 22
A blue sky.
White clouds.
And beneath it, a vast meadow stretching out.
It was a refreshing sight that could take your breath away just by looking at it…
Yet in this moment, my heart could not feel refreshed at all.
“I can’t believe… that I would ever hear something like this in my life…”
Just moments ago, I had unexpectedly heard the words “Please, have sex with me!” from Princess Solomon.
Honestly, if it were the me of my human days, I would have accepted her request with a bow.
How could I refuse a request from an objectively stunning beauty, a princess of a nation, even one who possesses the body of a virgin, to spend a night together?
However, that was all just a story from my human days…
For me now, her request was not alluring at all; it only stirred feelings of discomfort.
“Well… she probably didn’t really say that because she genuinely likes me.”
Even now, Arc Royal was saying things like I was a celestial beauty or the most wonderful sight in the world.
But that was only possible because she was an angel with some strange mental filter.
From a human perspective, my appearance as a Seraphim was nothing but a cosmic horror—a monster in itself.
Even my size was literally that of a skyscraper, over 100 meters tall.
Just the fact that she could think like that while looking at me made me feel a sense of absurdity.
Of course, I understood that there was a so-called “political intent” behind it.
From ancient times, securing safety by marrying those in power has been a politically natural act.
Or, given that this is a fantasy or mythological world, there’s also the possibility that she intends to bear a powerful demigod… perhaps a hero like Hercules or Perseus.
But even so, I never expected that there would be a woman approaching me in this state…
Should I say her patriotism is remarkable? Or is she simply the type who has no reservations beyond imagination?
Anyway, despite feeling quite perplexed as the party involved,
I promptly rejected her proposal.
First of all, I wasn’t even sure if I had the ability to bear seeds,
and above all, I didn’t like the idea of being forced into a relationship for political reasons.
A relationship between a man and a woman without love is meaningless.
As someone who holds the belief that only pure love—“true love”—is truly valuable,
I had no intention of indulging in such an obvious scheme.
Unlike my human days, I didn’t particularly feel any surging sexual desire…
“Well, as long as I promise not to do anything strange and continue to protect the Kingdom of Kanan as I have until now…”
Putting aside the matter of political marriage,
from my perspective, supporting the Kingdom of Kanan and, additionally, the Moabmon Alliance that decided to serve me this time was beneficial in many ways.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I have any intention of personally committing mass slaughter against the innocent, as I mentioned to Arc Royal before,
but I was willing to continue providing “small help” for victories, as I did this time.
I still lacked information about the paradise I desired.
However, thanks to the “prayers” they are offering,
I’ve been able to better understand the various information about this world and its people.
Most importantly, I also gained some leeway to prepare for the movements of the “enemies,” whose outlines I was able to glimpse before.
Additionally, there’s another fact I’ve been feeling recently.
As the number of those who offer sincere prayers to me increases, my powers are also gradually becoming stronger.
As I had heard from Eva before, the saying that a god’s power grows with the number of those who serve them seems to refer to something like this.
“One thing that bothers me, though… is that I am not a god, but an Angel, a Messenger of the God…”
In Christianity, the Worship of Angels is Prohibited.
Yet here I am, being revered as a god and gathering faith,
which, along with the establishment of statues that are worshipped like idols, could be considered a Blasphemous act against the essence of being an Angel in many ways.
However, honestly, I couldn’t easily make a judgment on this matter.
While there may be similarities in the hierarchy, I couldn’t be certain that the angels here are exactly the same as those over there.
Right now, aside from Arc Royal and me, the heaven is essentially empty.
Unless the Absolute Being (God) was still present or I could sense some of that influence, it might be different.
In both Heaven and on Earth,
I have never felt any connection to something immense.
What I faintly sense is a subtle emptiness.
A feeling of vacancy, as if something that should be there has vanished.
Even the humans on earth only know that there is an Absolute Being who created the world;
they seem to have almost no detailed knowledge about it.
The president has gone missing, and the prime minister has to rebuild the country… essentially a country that is in ruins.
In such a situation, it might be better to wait until the Absolute Being truly appears and hear directly from them or to bow down and apologize.
Trying to read the mood of an uncertain existence and stuttering about, without being able to do anything, seems wrong in many ways.
“My conclusion is that once religion is established, should there also be teachings about the Absolute God?… Right now, it’s troubling that even though I can receive prayers from humans, when I pray to them, there is no response from above…”
Anyway,
As I was thinking about various things like this, trying to shake off my bad mood,
and since I had come down, I decided to do some sightseeing for a change.
A few days passed as I wandered around the earth.
When I finally began to realize how much my sense of time had relaxed since becoming an angel,
I started to think that it was about time to return to heaven.
However…
[…Huh?]
*
“Ha…”
Princess Solomon of the Kingdom of Kanan.
With a shadow cast over her face, she was moving in a carriage to attend an event of the Moabmon Alliance.
Not long ago, the new Seraphine had revealed himself before her in response to her heartfelt prayers.
Though he still bore an appearance that instilled fear,
Solomon suppressed such feelings and earnestly made a request.
To take her as his bride.
If not that, she asked for the opportunity to bear his seed.
Though she had been turned down in a similar situation in the past,
the nature of that time, when she was merely a sacrifice, was fundamentally different from now.
While there was some insincerity under the name of patriotism,
Solomon earnestly sought to propose to the Seraphim with all her strength.
At first glance, one might think this was a crazy act,
but it was not uncommon in this world for transcendent beings, including gods, to have relations with humans and bear children.
Not only prominent gods like Baal,
but there were even elves among them who had mated with dragons measuring 60 to 70 meters, laying eggs.
Thus, it seemed entirely possible for her to have relations with a Seraphim of similar size.
However,
The Seraphim flatly rejected her ‘Proposal.’
As if to say, “What kind of nonsense is this?”
Moreover, the remark to not do anything unnecessary and just continue as before was an added insult.
And this callous rejection naturally left a deep wound in Solomon’s heart.
‘Unnecessary, you say… Do you really find me that unappealing?’
She was renowned as the greatest beauty of the Kanan Kingdom… no, the greatest beauty among neighbouring countries.
Not only from neighbouring nations but even the distant Elven Empire’s crown prince, the Demon lord’s third son, and even Dragon Lords had proposed to her, Captivated by her Beauty.
Although she had turned down these proposals for various reasons… mainly due to distance,
through these experiences, she had developed an absolute confidence in her beauty.
She believed that she could enchant anyone, regardless of their race.
Yet, the Seraphim had kicked her direct proposal aside as if she were a mere insect.
This left a significant scratch on her pride, which had shone like a diamond.
However…
Why was that?
The plan to bear the Child of a God had been thrown into disarray in an instant,
and despite having heard words that would surely make anyone feel unpleasant,
a different emotion began to bloom within Solomon’s heart alongside the bitterness.
It was a feeling she had never experienced before…
a peculiar fluttering in her chest.
For someone like her, who had always received only praise for her appearance,
this feeling was refreshingly new.
‘This kind of Man is a first for me…’
She honestly didn’t know why she felt this way.
But one thing was clear…
it added something different to the already favourable view she held of the Seraphim.
‘Hmm… well, I suppose there’s no need to be too disappointed.
There will be more opportunities in the future…
For now, I need to gather more detailed information about the life of Angels.
I failed this time by approaching too ordinarily, relying solely on my appearance, but there must be a way…’
As she thought this, Solomon unknowingly blushed slightly and raised the corners of her mouth.
At that moment.
-Kwang!
“!!”
With a sudden loud explosion, the carriage was overturned.
The blow that tore through the special defensive magic like paper
not only flipped the carriage but also instantly massacred the nearby guards.
In an instant, a heavy silence fell over the ruined procession of the princess.
Then, from above,
a man slowly descended from the sky.
{To let your woman be managed so carelessly. So the Seraphim or whatever is nothing special after all.}
With a sinister smile, he looked at the fallen Princess Solomon.
In the next moment, as the princess barely regained her senses, she began to see.
A man Clad in magnificent Armor with golden hair and brown skin.
Solomon could recognize at once who this man was, radiating an unusual power.
[King of the Girga Kingdom.]
God of War.
Anumaeshi.
“W-What are you doing here…”
The younger brother of the God Ba’al,
known across the continent for his cruel nature and the atrocities that followed.
As Princess Solomon trembled at his unexpected appearance, which she had seen pass by during the Continental Conference,
Anumaeshi lightly lifted her body with one hand.
Then, with an intrigued expression,
he began to examine her face slowly.
{Impressive, isn’t it? They say she’s the greatest beauty of the neighbouring countries. That rumour wasn’t unfounded.}
Anumaeshi had taken many women until now.
However, the beauty before him was on a level that couldn’t be compared to any woman he had seen before.
The only one who might come close was his sister, Isiris,
but he viewed her more as a nagging boar than a woman, so Solomon’s beauty could truly be considered the best in his eyes.
{Hehe… Today is indeed a wonderful day. I never expected my bait to be such a big catch…}
With those words, Anumaeshi licked his lips and began to reveal his clearly sinister desires…
