When she woke up she saw the morning sunlight shining on her face greeting her after her blissful sleep , she looked outside the window before turning back and going inside the bathroom cleaning herself with bath salts and many liquids that smelt like sunflowers and fragrances , after bathing she wore heavy robes that seemed light on the outside.
She sat on her bed thinking about a lot of things when a knock was placed on her door "Enter" she said rubbing her temples and in came James in his gold armour along with his dominant aura that surrounded him and he had a frown on his face as he approached Christina "Elder si— Queen Christina I'm here to say that I appreciated everything you have done for me all this time when I had nothing but myself and with that I only existed and never lived but I am contrite to say that I wish to leave your side" he bowed down with one knee on the ground and his right right hand folded into a fist on the ground and his head lowered , Christina was not only shocked but she lamented on herself for being a bad leader and of course elder sister , tears fell down her cheeks and James noticed them but remained quite because he himself was almost close to breaking off with tears.
Christina finally stopped crying and pulled James from the ground and hugged him tightly before letting go "I respect your decision so I will let you go , and as far as I'm concerned about you , you shouldn't do what you're thinking and please don't let your anger get the better of you , and always know that the castle's doors are always open for you"
She then took out a gold chest that could fit in her hand and handed it over to James "I wanted you to have this , it's something special that I made ever since you entered the castle" James took it with a solemn face and took his leave , after he left Christina kept looking at the door for quite some time before averting her gaze from it and vanished. She crossed the space walking on each star like she was taking a stroll in the park and after she crossed more than 10 centillion stars in 16 years she finally arrived and stood on the moon and looked at the planet infront of her , she hasn't seen something like this in her life and this is of course her first time encountering a planet with many life existences in it , she got excited and in a second she disappeared from her spot and appeared on a mountain looking down to the villages and kingdoms placed around each other.
She saw merchants, nobles and a lot of beings that she had never seen before or beings she had never noticed their existence before because right infront of her humans laid their tents and a few dogs and chickens were running around whilst children were wearing some type of uniform and entering a big building that was the size of an earth castle because Christina's world's castles were 65 times bigger and humongous than the average earth castle , she kept looking at the kids and she sat down mesmerizing the pure goodness and peace that was being played infront of her.
But some time later when she was enjoying watching the toddlers giggling around and entering the castle she saw a girl not far away from the noble kids that were entering the building , the girl was wearing a brown torn dress with torn black boots that seemed to reveal her little muddy toes , she seemed to be begging for coins but the nobles kept affronting her and pushing her into the mud that was just behind her but of course she couldn't defend herself because she was the one who approached them first and she insulted them by being before them so she just left and said sorry with an apologetic smile "What a freak" one of the boys said as she walked away "Hmph , how dare she come close to us" the girl said pouting and laughing in a noble manner whilst she looked at the girl like she was some trivial creature. Christina looked sorrowful as she watched as the kids mocked the girl so she descended from the mountain to attend the girl's aid as she looked hurt because of the wounds that were visible on her arms and face.
When the girl saw Christina she immediately sobbed and started crying without letting out a sound because she was simply terrified that maybe the noble kids had reported her filthy manners to one of the high authority people in the kingdom , she even brought out silver coins she got on the way and reached out both of her hands whilst on her knees and head lowered "Please forgive my behaviour from earlier Elite Mother" she started crying her eyes out and her hands were shaking and she started peeing herself from fear , Christina took the silver coins from her dirty palms and lifted her by her legs and arms carrying her like a princess , although the girl felt comfortable she still felt like she was going to get punished by what she had done so she just closed her eyes and started reminiscing about her awful and pathetic life over the few years wondering how could she live in such a world where she was insignificant as an ant or maybe worse , then suddenly she felt something in her stomach boiling and her head started spinning feeling hot 'So is this how I die' tears fell from her cheeks dumbfounding Christina who was walking in a teleportation space that enabled her to go wherever she wanted , they arrived outside a cave Christina had spotted when she stood on the moon .. immediately after putting her down the girl's eyes wrinkled in fear as Christina approached her , instead of doing the unthinkable Christina healed her body and cleaned it as well without the need of removing her clothes.
When the wounds and bruises disappeared the girl's eyes returned from fear as she felt them getting sucked out from her body , when she opened her eyes the first thing she saw was her clean smooth skin that emitted a strong odor that can be smelt a mile away , while she was busy mind complimenting her beauty she felt a hand on her's and when she looked up she saw the beautiful woman who seemed to be in her early 20's with royal robes "Hey little one , you have closed your eyes for a few hours now , what was wrong?" Christina had the urge to ask her as she couldn't understand her actions because people from Peace Sanctuary would often bow down for a long time "I thought you were going to kill me , for offending those great nobles" she lowered her head kowtowing on the soft silk sheets on the ground , Christina now thought that it was stupid to act like that when she could only say sorry because she knew very well how people treat her and honestly coming from her she doesn't want any of her royalty life nor the formalities used to greet her .. she felt like she was abusing her power by being in the presence of minors but even so it wasn't her fault.
"I wasn't going to kill you , I just wanted to help you after I saw those nobles hurt you" the little girl's mind suddenly paled 'Wait where did she come from? I didn't even see her' when she looked up she was stunned at the beautiful mesmerising eyes of the beautiful deity infront of her "Why don't you tell me your name little one" she snapped out of her daze and responded with a nervous expression which caused her to fidget "Aurora I am Christina from the Peace Sanctuary , a place millions of miles away from your planet" and after they introduced themselves Aurora got to know Christina and so did Christina making them friends who were seemingly distant because of the formality that she was greeted with by the little girl , after spending weeks inside the cave with Christina the girl suddenly said "Lady Christina I apologize for my rudeness but I wish to go home , and of course that relies on your answer" Christina nodded without hesitation and even walked her home which was a dirty alleyway where she found a few women and men protecting their children but when they saw Aurora their faces enveloped themselves with bright smiles that they even forgot about the beautiful woman infront of them who looked to be more dangerous , a couple suddenly rushed towards Aurora with wide arms and teary eyes "My little girl I thought you .. you.." Aurora's father couldn't finish his words and stuttered.
Aurora assured that she was fine and not hurt even mentioning Christina coming over to her aid which greatly shocked the family "Thank you Lady , for aiding our daughter we're in your debt" and although they didn't have anything words couldn't express their gratitude for this lady who had taken care of Aurora for a week.
Sometime later after they got friendly with each other they started shivering and the kid's mouths were dry mostly because they were hungry , when Christina saw this she waved her hands and when they all opened their eyes from gust of wind she had produced by just the waves of her sleeves they found themselves at the cave and some were even wondering what was going on because magic wasn't something that existed yet in this era .. "I don't have anything better to offer you , but this cave is warm and has supplies that could last a decade or more years if you use them in the right way , there is a lot of food as well" the adults bowed down again with their eyes drooling with tears "No lady this is really nice , even if they are little things to you to us it means everything thank you very much" with that she ordered them to eat and they dug in , they spent a few days in the cave and now that everything they needed was here they were healthy and well dressed but something clicked in Aurora's mind "Lady Christina didn't you say you're going to marry a man in the next hebdomad , although it's already too late we can't keep you here forever and I'm afraid he might be furious" but Christina showed her a smile face "Little Aurora time in this world doesn't run at the same pace as the time in our world , for example if I was to stay here for a month only a day would've passed in the Peace Sanctuary so you don't have to worry" Aurora was now confused and she didn't even see Christina happy when she mentioned 'him' "You see little Aurora I really don't like him , although I said I was going to be married by him I didn't mean he was the love of my life because such thing doesn't exist , that man only wants power and now he is abusing that very same power to make me his wife , and his expression everyday seems resolute like he doesn't have anything to fear , even if he crossed the line by forcing me to marry him" the adults listening couldn't help but feel sorry for her until Aurora asked her "But I thought you were powerful why can't you just fight him?" of course Christina giggled but this time it was of mockery "Although my power can rival and even kill him I'm not in the place to do so , even if I wanted to my nature doesn't let me , because I envy life I don't hate it even if the purest of evil tempts me or kills me I shall not fight because my creator is not a killer" the others around there were listening with awe and some were even inspired by her.
"Little Aurora power is good in all hands and hearts , the devil is the bad guy in all of this , and I shall tell you this only once , I believe in my creator and I believe in good things as well" although they didn't understand an adult most specific Aurora's mother understood "So lady you're saying there's good in the devil?" Christina now didn't giggled and showed them a nonchalant expression "Well , not in that manner but I believe that even if the devil has an army of demons there's good in those demons and I know that heaven doesn't pick and doesn't allow favouritism because my creator knows why we were tempted in the first place , as for the devil I don't have much or anything to say about him that's good" she sighed.
Sometime later in the cave after the kids were all well dressed and all cleaned up and even full with the delicious meals Christina asked all of them to go outside
, her hands were glowing with a bright golden-greenish color and her body emanated a greenish aura that could be seen with the naked eye , with that she placed her hands on the ground .. after a few minutes of waiting large boulders levitated in the air on top of the cave whilst they carved themselves from big boulder to large hard stone bricks , and soon after the many large boulders were done with carving themselves they started to combine fast creating some type of mansion.
The mansion didn't take more than 30 minutes to finish , in the line structures made by the bricks when they combined a golden glow enveloped the whole mansion until it was hard as the most hardest brick in existence , golden doors appeared in the door gaps and the same thing happened with the window gaps , everything of the mansion represented royalty and riches just from looking at the golden oval and box shaped windows that were likely to be made out of a hard material to restrict stones from breaking them.
The furniture placed itself around in the whole mansion beds, seats and all the furniture a wealthy king would need , afterwards just when the mansion was finished completely the trees created a pathway and on the ground appeared glistening diamond pebbles inside a see through sea crystal road connecting all of its paths to all the nations and of course Aurora's group had enough wealth to last for a lifetime but what they didn't know was that Christina had put a few vaults inside the mansion's basements that were filled with treasures like golden armour, golden swords, golden necklaces, golden robes, billions of gold coins, magical pouches that had a lot more gold that the gold in all of the vaults , diamond artifacts resembling each and everyone of the golden artifacts and well it was safe to say the house itself was made out of gold it was just that Christina had put an illusion for outsiders to think it was just a normal mansion.
The mansion was built exactly like Christina's castle only a bit smaller that hers , Christina then created a humanoid wooden creature from the trees that had some green essence flowing through the roots and leaves on its body and these were the guards that could use magic , one humanoid tree creature could take on a 10 000 army by itself , she explained thoroughly about her upgrades in the area they now lived in , and the whole mansion covered about 16 miles on top of the cave as well as on the ground making it look exactly like a castle whilst in Christina's eyes it looked like an ordinary house her people live in , but the mansion looked like an advanced ordinary house that reached 1500.54 inches to the sky.
If it were Christina's people they would just clap hands at the improvements but the humans behind her cried and even started caressing the smooth hard tall wall "Although this is not much I think this shelter will house you for many years to come" the gawking expressions of the kids and adults turned into dumbfounded expressions 'This is not much? if she says that again I will have to jump from a cliff' they all thought , they all entered through the golden door and when they saw the riches that were inside they wanted to faint but their joy and happiness couldn't let them because this was not what they wished for infact this was a 100 times better than what they wished for.
After looking around a quarter of their new house they sat down in what looked like a throne room where the humanoid tree creatures stood with bright golden armour and some diamond armour and weapons placed for decorations , the family couldn't help but tremble when they ate because this wasn't their average house and if they were royalty they would just pass out because this was at least a triple sized mansion that could put the whole kingdoms of the world into shame. After getting used to their mansion for a few days their expressions changed to ones that were blissful when eating on their luxurious diamond made table , the whole mansion now had caught attention of many kingdoms because it had just appeared out of nowhere or maybe that's what they thought because the majority of them thought that the castle was ancient that it had appeared out of nowhere like that , but no matter how much their curiosity fed their minds they couldn't approach it thinking that it was dangerous.
*****
One morning Christina went to sit on top of the largest mountain she had encountered when she saw set foot on earth , surprisingly enough she saw a man laying there with a wheat straw in his mouth and he was wearing black armour with golden trims whilst his shoulder parts of the armour had a dragon carved onto it making it looking fierce , it took her a while before she finally sat beside him wondering how the man had climbed a tall mountain like this and she saw many different and ferocious beasts roaming around on the mountain when she came here.
When the man saw Christina he was out of words "Greetings My lady" he stood up and bowed down taking Christina's hand and giving it a smooth kiss that made her heart beat loud , her cheeks flushed with red "Greetings to you Uhm..." the man returned to his spot watching the sunrise "Sosuke " he said with his long silver glistening hair flowing on his shoulders "My name is Christina" she replied and curtseyed but Sosuke laughed at her actions and returned to his nonchalant expression , Christina sat through the sunrise together with Sosuke without talking to each other until he stood up and put on his helmet hiding his face , he picked up his large black sword "W .. W.. Where are you going?" Christina was dumbfounded by her words but didn't do anything to restrict herself from obeying her feelings "I'm going to slay some dragons" Christina looked at him with a nonchalant expression and turned her gaze from Sosuke to the large sword on his back 'From what I'm seeing , this man has never even used this sword against anyone yet he's confident , and he's serious enough to say he's going to behead a dragon' she thought , Sosuke finally stopped in his tracks and sighed "What am I even saying" Christina giggled inwardly before she faked her 'Huh?' look "I haven't even used this sword on any beast or human before and yet I'm saying I can kill a dragon , my mother always said to follow my dreams not my desires but of course I never listened so I followed the people I called my friends who are now of high authority whilst I'm just a black knight that is useless , I bet you can even do better than me" he sat down again for with his back facing Christina "You know , your humbleness and kind soul shows that you don't have the means to hurt any living being" she then averted her gaze away from his back now looking at the sun "My lady if you could only hire me as your squire or maybe something worth my personality" Christina chuckled at him before saying "I may look royalty but I'm not" Sosuke then showed a mocking smile "I know you're not from here , but I can see from your face and I can feel from your presence that you can help me" she then looked at him with a surprised face "Well what do you need from me?" before she could put on another line Sosuke had already replied even dumbfounding and shocking Christina with a sad smile "You want me to .. ki .. ki .. kill you!?" her exclaimed voice didn't even startle him instead he stood up offering his hand helping Christina up before making it clear to her "I don't deserve my family, nor this life and I pray to my creator to forgive me for insulting the spirit he had given me , but as much as I want to live I don't want to exist anymore" he let go of Christina's hand before handing her his black large sword "But I don't even know you" her hands trembled but her face was serious "If you want something from me, I'll do it for you before dying" his eyes glistened with tears and his body emanated a dark red aura that made the grass he stood on turn black and die , when Christina saw this she looked at him and saw the pain in those blue eyes "What if I can help you with the demonic aura that's surrounding you" Sosuke didn't pay attention to her until his eyes glowed purple surrounded with a red hue coming out of his blepharons , his body enlarged itself with his armour , his face twisted and created what looked like a goblin and an elf but the tears never stopped , when the transformation was complete the tears dried from the heat pressure his body emitted.
He dashed forward with the giant sword that was now becoming large and large by the second , Christina's hands glowed bright green and before Sosuke could reach her she shot out what looked like a beam of energy , when the green energy touched Sosuke he immediately collapsed on the ground. Christina levitated his body from the ground and opened a portal to a nearby forest , with that she started sucking out the dark red energy coming from his body , when she was finished she collapsed on the ground feeling tired just from doing such a taboo.
A few days later after Sosuke woke up he found himself lying on a bed made of leaves "What happened.." before he could lift himself up Christina held his chest laying his body down , she explained everything to him excluding the part when he tried to attack her "Don't worry now you're okay , I managed to calm 'it' " Sosuke frowned when she mentioned 'it' because it was his worst enemy that has hurt many of his loved ones and he hated himself for living , ever since he discovered he had this monster inside of him he isolated himself on the largest mountain in the area avoiding humans at all costs .
Christina could see the sadness in his breathing pace and soul too but he didn't reveal it that much so she couldn't get through his mind 'Even though he says he just transforms into that thing my consciousness can't read his thoughts because of a deity barrier and if I'm not mistaken he's a somewhat .. direct descendant from one of a fallen kingdoms from the far Places placed next to the Peace Sanctuary' she thought with a pondering face , she attended Sosuke for another day until he said "Thank you my lady for calming me , but I have to take my leave as I don't to be a burden to a nice peaceful woman like you whilst I'm an entity that doesn't know anything about peace and goes around destroying mankind .. let me leave your presence" he kowtowed , Christina's heart was hurt because she thought she could stay around and look out for him or maybe she felt like she could do more?
When Sosuke raised his head to look at Christina he saw the sadness on her face while her face was faced in another direction with it lowered hiding her teary eyes "My lady , I can do anything you want , it's only fair since you helped me calm the demon inside of me" he offered his hand to Christina , she took his hand but still looking away "Now what is it that my lady wishes to have or to do?" when she heard the last words her problems were all solved and now she could get to know him ..
******
Weeks passed as they began spending time together and with Sosuke teaching Christina about all the kingdoms and the people as well as the unfair society , she now knew everything happening around this weird place.
They grew find of each other now they've told each other's dears and a lot of embarassing stuff but what mostly hit Christina's heart was how Sosuke lived without nobody caring for him until he became a rogue traveler that was different from other rogue travelers who were deceitful , he was only a rogue traveler because people said he was a deceitful person who pretended to be good whilst inside he was just an evil person that many people despised but all this time he only tried to impress and make them happy so he could have a home with them because he was finding it depressing to live alone in the wild with no one who knew of his name , so eventually he got tired of trying so hard to be a person of the people and lived in an isolated spot on the dangerous mountain where no man dared to step a foot on.
Christina now understood his reasons of wanting to die but now she didn't want to even think about killing him when she was just starting to FALL FOR HIM.
