Author note: Sorry to keep you waiting (if there's someone waiting out there), but look like i can't finish it before the year end.
Maybe if i pulled all my stop though, i could completed part 2...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since time immemorial, the barriers, made by our lord's Angel, have protected us from the force of monsters threaten to raze upon our lands. More over, in time of crisis, as the force of evil encroached to our continent. A great barriers, made by our lord's will, will embrace all of us like a kind mother, and protect us all. But only if we kept our undying faith and love to our great mother above...
~Our Holy Kingdoms by Pope Fran~
... though the barriers over the Holy Union is flawless, and could repel all opposite force. In my opinion, that would create some complication...
~The World's Power, Explained in a Scientific View by Maxy Rockwell ~
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A medieval-era city with a castle in the middle, surrounding itself in a transparent barrier and/or a wall of rock.
How often have i seen these thing in numerous fantasy novel, i think to myself. But still...
"It's still a nice thing to see, doesn't it?"
"I'm also think so, milady." (Ran)
Right now, we continue to travel to the gate at the west side of the castle. Seeing the crest on the side of the carriage though, the guards immediately let us through.
Huh? I didn't mention about the crest? Why's that?
Simple.
I don't want to.
After all...
"Fufufu, did you see my influence in this place?" (Miharu)
That Angel just kept gloating about this whether she got the chance.
"Thine majestic form revealed as I soar through the sky. The wings, each of them streched as wide as it should be. My hands, held the spear of light made to purge the enemies ahead. All of this, immortalize in this crest behind a clear blue sky colour that is the flag of this country..."

"That majestic form is highly inaccurate though."
"Uu!."
"First, the body... is that a 3-digits bust that i see? Not to mention the model height and matured face. Not even romanticization can't explain this much different."
"Uu... I can't help it. Didn't i tell you already?"
"That your daughter is a lolicon?"
"That's ri... That's not it! It's just that my daughter doesn't have anyone to play with while she was little, so i used to be her playmate while helping her find friends, and this form is the best in both of them. Gradually though, she doesn't regconize me without taking this form, and this thing kinda stick... She's grown up into such a fine girl now..."
"And still a lolicon?"
"I told you that not it... About your servant, I can't believe you actually use that in this place."
"...Because this is neccesary."
"...I don't know what you're planning. But please, don't let anyone figure out you have it."
"I won't let anyone know of such a card anyway... Oh? Look like we're finally arrived. Ran, you know what to do."
"Yes, milady."
Ran then disappeared from the carriage, without anyone noticed.
Now then, it's time to "See the King".
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-3rd person POV-
The carriage move at a fast pace toward the castle in the center of the capital. Within minute, it finally arrived.
Like earlier, it also passed the inner wall surrounding the castle itself easily. As they came into a halt in front of the castle's back door, the driver gone down and open the door. The magician then come out and escorting the two people within.
The first to come out is the Angel. Donning a pure-white one-piece and having a small pair of wings no wider than an arm reach, she naturally emit a holy aura, taking in an image of a pure, innocent little girl.

Usually, that shape is impossible to keep when you have a kid to care for.
Still, it was remarkable that the guard, stayed at both side of the gate, still remand prim and proper while being charmed by her.
The second though...
Nervously come out, a girl in her late teen come out. She was wearing what could be simply describe as a high-school uniform.
Of course, to the guard, it's still an clothing that pique their interest, so they can't help but stared at it intensely. Seem startle by it, she ran and hide herself behind the Angel's back. Seeing at such to calm her down, the Angel gently reach out and hold her hand. After a while, the girl calm herself down and let her face loose, while still held the Angel's hand tightly.
They're soon lead into a wide room used to greet royal guest to stay. At expect, the interior look like a presidental room of a 5-star hotel, with bed big enough for an entire family to sleep in. The pair were told to rest in there and wait for the king while the maid prepared food and refreshment.
An hours later, the magician came to tell the preparation have been completed, and guide them to the throne room. As they came along the red carpet ,people on the side kneeled all the way to the king himself. Even the magician and the maids that followed immediately kneeled as she came.
"We welcome your grace, o Great Angel." (King)
