The Doting Goddess

I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I hate her! I Hate Her! How dare she do that to me! Because of this dimwit, I looked bad in front of-

*Glance*

“Is something the matter?”

“No Lord Kiros! It’s nothing!”

To think I would be walking in such a close proximity to Lord Kiros! He’s my idol, an angel among angels! A champion of divinity! A man carved from the most beautiful marble! A handsome-Ahhh! I better stop myself before I faint, why am I in this situation! It’s too soon for me to walk side by side with such a beautiful character, curse you Che-No! 1074!

*Sigh* Leave it to Cherry to waste everyone’s time like usual, it’s beyond me why our lady extends her grace to her. Maybe it’s reasons like that why our lady is the holiest. At least something good came out of today, it appears that Despa has returned from her prerequisite training. Based on the recent training school results, she was the best in her class. Excellent! I’ve always held high hopes for her, she has a good head on her shoulders afterall. If only Cherry could learn from her example, maybe she’ll finally gain what’s necessary to prove she’s worthy of her name. Perhaps I should start calling her by her birth number, as we do with the other unworthy Cherubs. Yes that sounds about right-

“Hey Kiki!”

“It’s Kiros Cherry.”

“Are we there yet?”

“You’ve walked through these halls how many times? We’re just a minute or so-”

“Really! See you guys there!”

Huh? And with that, everyone’s favorite failure is running down these hallowed halls. I hope she doesn’t disturb those who are working. Once again, I fail to see what our lady sees in her.

“My apologies for her behavior, Lord Kiros.”

“Despa, you need not worry yourself. Should we blame the birds for how hard rocks are?”

“Heh.”

“Oh, was that snicker I just heard?”

“Oh! My apologies, I couldn’t help but laugh!”

Looking at her red face Despa’s demeanor can use some work, regardless I have high hopes for her and her future. Maybe I can talk to our lady, I would like to have Despa as my assistant. It would also help her adjust into her new duties as an Angel Pledge.

“*Huff Huff* F-finally, it took so long to get here!”

At long last I finally made it to the throne room, I hope her holiness won’t be mad at me. Wait, why does it feel like I forgot something important?

“You dolt! You were supposed to wait for us!”

“Eh?”

I turned to see an exhausted Kiros and an upset Despa, oh right I was supposed to be the third wheel. Sorry sis left you on the spot there, as I thought that Kiros made a short glance towards Despa. The response was Despa covering her cheeks with both hands, come on sis! You’ll never get him if you never go on the attack!

“Despa’s decorum aside, you should’ve waited for us. Especially since I was sent specifically to grab you.”

“Oh! Sorry Kiki, I really put you on the spot didn’t I.”

“*Sigh* Follow me.”

With that Kiros opened the doors to the throne room, what awaited was the gorgeous porcelain chambers I knew well and a beautiful woman sitting on a throne. That woman wearing a white dress, with beautiful sky blue eyes, and soft pink hair was Merva the Goddess of Harmony. Upon our arrival she looked directly at us, but before being able to address us…

*Caw Caw*

…A Dullert found itself perched on her holiness’ head. Noticing this she began turning her head to the right of her, in order to address her trusted advisor.

“...Grimor, if you don’t mind me asking, is there a bird on my head?”

“Indeed there is my lady.”

“Perchance this bird assumed I was a statue because I’ve sat here frozen in lace for the past fifteen minutes?”

“Perhaps so, my lady.”

“Oh…”

Uh-oh, don’t tell me she’s about to-

“...Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Oh dear, she’s crying again! This is bad, what if the palace gets flooded again! Yeowch! Hey what just stabbed me in the back-Despa! Is that a pencil! Why’d you stab me! While I starred daggers into Despa’s deadpan eyes, Kiros tried to calm down the situation.

“My grace, please calm down.”

“Kiki! The mean birdie is picking on me!”

“Shall we have fried Dullert for dinner, your Holiness?”

“No! Don’t hurt the feather baby!”

The crying of her holiness intensified, as she grabbed the Dullert on her head and began death hugging it. Her protective instincts must’ve kicked in, her holiness is an animal lover you see and for that reason she refuses to eat meat. Dang it Kiki what were you thinking-Wait, why are you staring daggers at me? Despa is doing the same-Wait, not you to Grimor! What do you want me to handle this?

“Uh, your holi-”

“*Throw* Cherry! You're here!”

Did she just throw the Dullert out a closed window, is it gonna be okay? Oh well for now let’s do my usual routine, I began running toward her holiness.

“Your Holiness!”

“Cherry!”

I hopped into her embrace, followed by our good luck routine.

“”Hugs and kisses, hugs and kisses, hugs and kisses!””

We hugged each other tightly, then gave each other a kiss on both cheeks. This is a special greeting here in Celestria, usually reserved for family or dear friends. After that we both had a hearty laugh, her holiness seems to be in a good mood now.

“Cherry.”

“Yes your Holi-”

“*Pout*Hmph!”

Oh I see, she wants me to do that.

“Yes, Miss Merva?”

“Good girl!”

For some reason besides my nickname, her holiness prefers being called Miss Merva by me. This hasn’t gone without the jeers of the Angels though, but you can’t fight what the lady wants!

“It’s always nice to see you Cherry, by the way, Oh Kiki! You still haven’t given me some love!”

“...Do I have to?”

“Kiki! I held you when you were born!”

“...yes your grace.”

“Hmph!”

“...*sigh*Yes mother.”

“See, was that so hard!”

Miss Merva let out a triumphant smile as Kiki walked over to give her her hug, she also asked if Despa wanted to join but Despa vehemently refused. Come on sis, stop being so skin shy! Speaking of which, I just remembered something.

“Hey Miss Merva, what exactly do you need from me?”

“Oh I just wanted to see you!”

“...Eh?”
