Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 235 Underground Kingdom (4)

[Day 83]

Sitting up, I saw that I was leaning against a stool with the queen cuddled up next to me.

"What the hell happened last night," I mutter.

"Uh, Arpious, you could've at least tried to tone down your actions. If we all weren't here, this entire kingdom would've come down in ruins," I hear a familiar voice say from beside me.

It was Sun, and he was clearly hungover as he tightly gripped his forehead in pain. But, I felt no empathy as he was the one who did that to himself and the last memory I had of him was him downing his 10th beer and running around the room like a crazy person.

"How could you have held me back when you were probably drunker than me?"

"Just shut the hell up for now… My head hurts too bad,"

jingle jingle jingle

"You kids need to learn to tone it down!" I hear a raspy old voice shout, and when I turned my head, I saw an old woman about 5'4 in height and wrinkles covering her body.

"Sorry about that, grams, it seems we went a little too hard," I hear another familiar voice say, but I didn't need to turn my head to know who it was.

It was Moon, the guy who looked after me the most last night before the rest of my memory went blank.

"I'll repay you grams; just let us sleep a bit longer," The queen who is snuggling in between my breasts says.

"You better! You are the queen of this kingdom, so you better act like one!" The grandma shouts once again, causing us to groan in pain.

So loud...

"UH! Come inside my house! I'll treat you all to breakfast as it seems Moon and Sun are out of shape!" The grandma shouts before slamming the wooden door behind her.

We all burst out laughing before flinching in pain once again as we all stood up slowly... and it seems the queen wouldn't let go of me.

"Please let go. I can tell you look fine, and I don't want to care for somebody right now, even if you are my Master. It feels like my head is going to split open so give me some fucking space," I mutter as the queen tightly gripped onto my shoulders and rubbed her cheek against my cheek.

She didn't even have her eyes open- wait, my eyes are open right now.

I began to touch my face to make sure, despite me already knowing the answer… And I felt embarrassed but not stressed as everybody looked at me calmly.

"You all saw my eyes," I say out loud.

"Of course we did, and it's not like we care! We're all weirdos, so your eyes mean nothing to us! You don't even need to hide it outside as nobody will discriminate against such a beauty!" Elisa shouts, but it seems she was still hovering between awaken and asleep.

"Your eyes are lovely Arpious… so will you marry me," The queen says- no, Reyna says.

Last night I remembered she told me to stop calling her "My lady" and instead, her real name, Reyna, as she felt uncomfortable.

"Uh, propose when you actually seem believable," I say as I push Reyna off of me and slowly make my way out of the bar with everybody behind me.

As soon as I push the wooden door open, a beam of light hit us, causing us to shrink back into the bar like vampires.

"I'm melting! Help me! The pain! Oh, how it hurts!" Dorna says, pretending to faint and plopping on the ground.

"Get the hell up so we can get to granny's house," Elisa says, helping Dorna up as we hide our faces as soon as we make our way out of the bar.

It would be embarrassing if the strongest figures in the kingdom were to like this.

Creeeeeeek

"Uh, grams, can't you make your door just a bit quieter!" Sun complains as soon as we open the door of the house next to the bar.

"Go sit down and stay quiet; otherwise, you're getting no food!" I hear the same raspy voice from before shout down from the hallway.

"Okay," Everybody but myself says before making our way over to the relaxing couches next to us.

As soon as some of us hit the couches, they fell asleep instantly, with the rest of us just shielding our closed eyes with our forearm from the living room's bright light.

"So, are you going to meet with the kingdom today?" I ask Reyna, who continued to snuggle up next to me.

"Fuck that," Reyna responds, but as soon as she finished her sentence, we all heard the sizzling of hot food being placed on the coffee table next to us.

"Yay," We all say synchronously in a monotone voice.

As soon as we all sat up, we thanked the grandma who just sat down in a rocking chair and began to read what seemed to be a hardcover book.

"Holy shit, this is really good," I say as my hangover seemed to disappear as soon as I bit into the slab of meat in front of me.

"Yeah! Grams makes the best food!" Sun shouts with a mouthful of food.

"Chew your damn food first before you start talking again!" The grandma shouted, causing Sun to apologize immediately.

We began to mingle for a few more hours as we let the hangover slowly disappear with the help of a yellow concoction the grandma made, which was extremely bitter.

? "Your highness, I have important information," We all hear somebody say from outside our currents houses door.

"Yeah? Come inside then," Reyna says, still trying to propose to me, but I kept rejecting her.

"As you wish," The manly voice says from outside.

A tall knight clad in heavy metal armor makes his way into the living room and perfectly ignored the mess we made.

"Sir Lan will be making a move late this afternoon while the king and his subordinates have already prepared a plan that I was unable to discover," The knight says, kneeling on one knee in front of myself and Reyna.

"Good, you are dismissed then," Reyna says with determined eyes.

"So, are you still going to try and meet with the ruler of that monster kingdom?" I ask Reyna once again now that she had pretty much recovered.

"Yeah, we'll all move in 30 minutes," Reyna says as we all get up and make our way out the door… of course, after thanking the grandma for letting us stay and eat her delicious food.

We all went our ways as we needed to wash ourselves up and look presentable for the ruler, and Reyna lent me a beautiful dark purple dress with more sashes and badges than her own kids.

I even ran into them as I made my way out of the palace, causing them to drop their jaws in shock as it looked like I had more achievements than them.

But, it was really the queen just being extremely nice and doting on me like I was her wife already.

"So you actually thought I was a slave?" I ask the kids as I felt like teasing them a bit.

"F-forgive us," Charlotte apologizes, bowing deeply while Noah bowed as well.

"Hahahaha… I'm just kidding, anyway; enjoy yourselves and make sure to protect this kingdom while we're out. It might get a bit messy on the surface," I say, and as soon as I step out of the palace, I see one of my blood wings approach me and then sink into my skin.

Tons of minor and one large piece of information flooded my brain, including the status of all the nobles in the kingdom and the status of my maids who were currently undercover and apparently escaped their masters.

"Hmmm… interesting. This definitely shows that even if the Uxtan Kingdom wins this war against us, it will still fall apart as more than half of the nobles have made plans to leave and go to another kingdom," I mutter before running into everybody from before.

Now, I need to think of answers to possible questions Reyna might ask me as soon as I reveal my status as the kingdom queen.

Plus, I can only expect our good relationships to fall apart as soon as they know that I'm a monster. The natural racism between us will always create a wall that nobody can break, causing marriage to be out of the question.

It was fun, but it seems our time has come to an end… my newly made friends.

"Let's go, Arpious," Moon says as I walk into the group.

…

(Aika POV)

"*sigh*... when is Arpious going get back. I miss her so much," I mutter to myself as I sat on the vacant throne.

Suddenly, a maid came walking into the throne room with an envelope made from thin white stuff that was different from our leather.

"Your highness, I have brought a letter from an unknown country. They didn't reveal anything to me, and I don't dare to open it, so I would like your highness to open it," The elven maid says as she walks up to me and hands me the envelope.
