The Land of the Four Suns
Ch. 7 - Goddess of War
"Please, God. Rania Wichery, Her Majesty the Queen's main lady-in-waiting is coming." There was a soft but firm voice outside Arsa's private room.
"His Majesty the Queen? All right, please come in," said Arsa aka Ezekiel.
A pale-white woman, black hair, a reddish-brown eyeball and a petite stature, entered the personal space of the God of intelligence. His right hand held a small bottle with a dark purple filling.
"Sincerely, Lord Ezekiel." Rania bent her body, until the end of her dangling dress, touched the floor.
"What's the matter, the Queen's main lady-in-waiting is coming to see me?" ezekiel asked with a broken tongue. The man who had been crowned as God was still unfamiliar with the state of the palace which was all formal.
"I just want to welcome back the arrival of the Gods, after all this time disappearing." Rania straightened her body again, then sat down in front of Arsa aka Ezekiel.
"And if the Gods are pleased, I brought him an herbal potion to make the Gods body fit again after a walk in the forest." The beautiful dayang gave the bottle to Ezekiel.
"What is this made of? I'm not used to drinking jamu. Ah, I mean Herbal potions," said Ezekiel.
"Of course I've thought about it carefully, God. It is made from a very safe and not bitter material. The taste is a bit similar to strawberry juice" explains Rania.
"That's it, huh? Does the Queen know that you're here to see me? Or because of the Queen's orders?" ezekiel asked still on guard.
"Of course, God. I came here with the permission of the Queen" replied Rania.
Ezekiel looked at his servants for an opinion. But they all nodded their heads.
"Alright, I'll take this herbal concoction. Thank you, Rania," said the God.
"God can drink it at once in two gulps" Rania said.
"thank you. I'll drink it later" said Ezekiel.
"The banquet only lasts until before lunch, God," said Rania reminded.
"So that means I have to drink it now?" ask Ezekiel.
"It's better that way."
Ezekiel opened the bottle. It is no bigger than his index finger. A sweet and fresh fragrance came out from within. The Dew's doubts slowly disappeared. In two gulps, he also spent the gift of the Queen's main lady.
"It doesn't seem like he's lying. It's really good and my body feels fresher" Ezekiel murmured inwardly. "But..." He still felt something strange.
"Then, I say retreat first, Dewa," said Rania again bowed her body.
"Please. Give my regards to Queen Azura," replied Ezekiel.
Moments later, in Verenian Pallace, the residence of Queen Azura Auristella.
"How, Rania?" queen Azura asked, when she saw her ladyboy back.
"Walk well, Queen. The god Ezekiel has been drinking the herb from the fruit and flowers of Atropa belladona in low doses" Rania reports.
"Thank God, may no one realize that Ezekiel has just risen from his long slumber. But we must remain cautious, as this could threaten the stability of the country" Queen Azura said.
"Okay, Queen."
...🌟🌟🌟🌟...
"Peach, Almond, why is it so crowded?" ezekiel asked looking at the crowd from behind the window of his reading room. The procession passed by the side of Ezekiel's residence, towards Valenseau Castle.
"Oh, God hasn't heard? Today Goddess Zayya is back from the border" Peach said.
"Goddess Zayya? Why is his name so familiar to my ears?" ezekiel.
"Goddess Zayya is the Goddess of War, my lord. Of course you often hear his name, because he is one of the high-ranking Gods like my master," explained Almond.
"Why did a goddess go to war?" Ezekiel. It feels strange, the title commonly held by men is actually held by a Goddess.
"God must have misunderstood. Although she was the Goddess of War, but she did not lead the war at all" Rose said as she placed the pear on the table.
"really. Since the new civilization began, there has been no more power struggle like before. Humans and other creatures live side by side. Dewi Zayya is only in charge of maintaining the security of this country," added Olive who poured apple cider for Ezekiel.
"In addition, Goddess Zayya also ensures that the entire civilization is currently under the auspices of the kingdom of Viersonne, so that there are no more social inequalities. Until now, Dewi Zayya has expanded the kingdom to the entire continent of Eiland and Alkara," added Almond.
"What is that not called a power struggle? I don't know what the concept is here?" ezekiel said massaging his dizzy head.
"Ah, right too" said Peach. He then dismantled the small drawer in the corner of the room.
"As long as the Goddess travels, she sends you letters several times." Peach gave three letters to Ezekiel.
"Why did he send me a letter? Do we have a special relationship?" thought Ezekiel.
Without waiting for long, he opened the letters one by one.
[God Ezekiel, I suggest that you occasionally take a walk out to see things. There were many different things outside the palace.]
"Why did he tell me to take a walk out of the palace? Am I in the forest?" Ezekiel comments when reading the first letter.
"Goddess Zayya does not know if you are going, my lord. It's been out of the palace since the north star is still shining" Almond said.
"That's it, huh?" Albert opened the second letter.
[If Rania Wichery gives you something, as much as you can refuse it. Especially food and food.]
"Why am I forbidden to receive the Queen's maid?"
Arsa aka Ezekiel is thinking hard.
