Ramiel Returned to Arcane while the Executives were having a meeting concerning the recent activities in the neighboring towns and cities under the rule of the nobles who were sending notices toward Arcane because of their increasing size and power, Even the Royal capital sent a letter proclaiming that they're acknowledgement can only be considered legal if they submit under the law of the Crimson throne,
Ramiel listened quietly as the Executives discussed their options, knowing that their next move would be crucial in determining the future of Arcane and its relationship with the other border territories. He wondered if they would choose to submit to the Crimson throne or continue to assert their independence.
he was sitting at the far corner and didn't want to interrupt their conversation regarding the said matter, knowing that the only person who actually was right to any claim was about to wake up as the Marauding Queen finally opened her eyes,
He took a deep breath and decided to approach them, hoping to offer his assistance in resolving the matter before the Queen regained her full strength and made a decision that could potentially harm their kingdom. As he walked towards them, he reminded himself to speak with confidence and clarity, knowing that the fate of their people could depend on his words.
Beta and all five of the Commanders were standing silently and were just listening while Beta took out scrolls and pointed out this is a replica of the original by-laws that the Rune book Author that sadly can not be identified by nature nor name, The Commanders were impressed by Beta's knowledge and attention to detail, as they knew the importance of preserving historical documents for future generations to learn from. They thanked Beta for sharing this valuable information with them.
Suldusk gave his own opinion on the matter, knowing the severity of the letter from the Royal Capital. Being the only person who had worked at the first Ryall Guild that the Queen established, the other nobles will surely try to pressure Arcane to first submit to them, especially since reports of their vast army have already reached the neighbouring noble lords.
Suldusk emphasized the importance of Arcane's independence and advised them to carefully consider their next move. He also suggested seeking alliances with other guilds and possibly even other kingdoms to strengthen their position against the pressure from the nobles,
but Finbor pointed out that the forsaken forest can never be developed by an outside force; no living being had ever conquered it. until the queen's legitimate son came to take the claim and even saw his achievements firsthand, all the executives agree to Finbor,
Beta raised her hand and pointed out that this claim over Arcane independence if he can conquer the entire forest and get a blessing from the Sacred Roots Guardian,
"huh! there is a guardian of the Forest?"
"Yes master Ramiel, there is a Guardian of this forest, but any details beyond, what I mention are prohibited by the owner of the Book."
Considering that Na-Ra-khu the humanoid insect was able to communicate and asked the Sacred root sentient awareness to cultivate a vast area of the land where Arcane stood on to pf the mesa was 1500 acres of flat land on top of the Mesa, but the lower flat land that was used for farming was just 200 acres before, was now given additional 600 acres with the consideration that Na-Ra-khu and a few selected family of half insect half dryad humanoid race to be part of his community, because of certain issues with the rest of his hive race was not included in the agreement due to unresolved conflicts within their race,
within those months of helping Averel to regain its social and economic stability, Arxane were also able to expand his territory with the help seven thousand plus of his Symbiote Collective left in Arcane, the infrastructures, establishment, and military superiority surrounding and under the land was also developed to its full capacity, it was a kingdom beyond comprehension and scale totally isolated from any other kind of influence,
The success of Ramiel's reign was not only due to his military prowess and the support of his top loyal executives and the Symbiote Collective but also to his ability to govern and manage resources effectively. The kingdom he built was a testament to his leadership and vision for a self-sufficient and prosperous society.
Ramiel decides to send out a letter to all those who wish to treat his authority over his land and remain independent as a nuisance and will be given a negative response from him, and the letter should be sent out in the slowest manner possible, while he gains information if the forest guardian is truly the being Ramiels thinks that, based on the restricted information Beta could only give, Ramiel's intention is to assert his dominance over his land and maintain control. He also wants to investigate the forest guardian's role in the restricted information that Beta could only provide.
" There is a chance that my hunch is right, concerning who might this guardian of the forsaken forest might really be,"
"my lord remember that your powers will be sealed the moment you enter the inner part of the sacred root, any mana-invoked spell with instantly be nullified"
"so that is why no being has ever conquered this place,"
"yes my lord, those are the sacred roots' defence capabilities, you can only rely on raw physical capabilities."
Ramiel gave his honest opinion and made sure that Arcane remain independent and thanked them all for doing their best for the good of everybody under his insignia,
Sharn asked what does he want for lunch, Ramiel just as for a cup of warm tea that he will take to his mother's chamber, and just wanted to rest for a while until he goes out to investigate the so-called Guardian personally, Sharn nodded and went to prepare the tea while wondering what kind of investigation Ramiel was planning. She hoped he wouldn't get into any trouble, but she knew better than to try and dissuade him once he had made up his mind.
he wal slowly as many staff of the main mansion bowed and greeted their king, he was very happy to interact with them as he casually smiles and gave out compliments and small pleasantries to them, and even mention their respective names with delight as everybody could not help but admire him more until he was able to reach his mothers' main room two Huge Gehanna wolves were standing guard also greeted him with joy,
as he hug and stroke their black furs, the two feared beasts of death acted like puppies toward him The king's ability to connect with his staff and even the feared Gehanna wolves showcased his natural charisma and leadership skills. It was evident that he was respected and loved by all those around him, making him a beloved ruler.
as he entered the room he saw the healing pod once again and saw his sleeping mother, as he reminisced and indulge enjoyable when he was with both of his mothers Amelia and Allatou, not knowing a small tear fell on the Glass pod cover as he sat beside her in his favourite chair and just watch her mother sleep,
after a few minutes, Sharn came in with a tray of warm Tea and saw that he was silently observing the healing pod when she place the tray beside the side table and politely gave Ramiel the tea and told him she would return after a few hours to fetch the tray, Ramiel looked at her and just smiled and gave a compliment on how delicious the tea she made and thank her, she answered with the same delightful gesture and went back to her main duties.
Ramiel couldn't help but feel grateful for Sharn's presence, as she had been a constant support to him and his mother since the accident. He knew he could always count on her to take care of things and make their lives easier, and he silently thanked the universe for bringing her into their lives. Then he fell asleep after drinking the tea that calmed his body and succumbed to dreams. a few hours later to the sound of his mother's voice as she whispered his name and gently stroked his hair. He opened his eyes and saw her smiling at him.
When a tray fell on the floor as Sharn saw the Queen awake and hugging his beloved son, Overwhelmed with emotions, Ramiel hugged his mother tightly and thanked the healing pod for bringing her back to life, as he cried helplessly and poured out all of his emotion like a small child desperately waiting to hold his mother again,
Allatou suddenly cried also but it was tears of happiness, as she express her love by saying
"you have grown to be a fine young man, I am so proud of you son!"
and Sharn also cried, feeling what he was feeling considering he never showed his true emotion Sharn knew that Ramiel had been waiting for this moment for a long time and was happy to see him finally reunited with his mother. The sound of the tray falling on the floor brought them back to reality, but the joy and relief they felt stayed with them for a long time.
Ramiels hand was trembling and continuously cried, his emotion reached the four high ranking collective that was near him and rushed toward their master and saw what was happening and was also affected by this outburst of emotion Beta and Echo could not stop the tears from their eyes like Gamma and Sigma tried their very best to remain in a signified composure and stood silently.
even if they were given autonomous authority to act and do whatever they want their actions are always aligned with their own values and beliefs, and they are allowed to act freely, but now his emotions were both sadness and happiness at the same time the certain similar feeling was felt at all of the collective, so they were mildly affected by this but in a good way, as they always wanted to feel emotion again really feel alive, even if it is just the byproduct of the main host's real emotions they all gladly accept it fully,
The collective had been devoid of emotions for so long that even the slightest hint of feeling was welcomed with open arms. It was a reminder that they were still capable of experiencing the full range of human emotions, and it gave them hope for a future where they could once again feel alive.
Sharn decided to leave them alone for the time being, as she close the door many of the executives also rushed in, Beta and Echo raise their hands and gestured all of them to stop and gave out a sign that they must leave now, Sharn told his grandfather and as soon as she finished just turned around and push all of the executives and told them to immediately implement what they secretly discussed months ago, and whispered "
"the Marauding Queen is awake!"
