Ramiel woke up and thought he was finally able to spend time checking on small matters in his domain as documents were piling up on his desk to read and sign, he sat up and gently rub his eyes as he views the bright warm sun shining toward his huge bedroom window, he could smell the scent of warm bread and tea place at the table and saw two maids standing beside the door, while his mother was preparing breakfast and greeted him Beta approach him and was holding new clothes to wear, Ramiel suddenly blush, because encountering this type of treatment was new to him, he gave out a little sign and as Beta if this was necessary,
Beta calmly answered
"The queen insisted that you should be treated like a true king even just this once, even if she stated you won't like it,"
"it is kinda weird for me to see many people serving, I just wanted to be treated normally,"
"Son, I know you are an independent person, can you just let me have this as a queen and a mother to serve and take good care of my son,"
" I am afraid, you might drift away from me and will no longer have time to be with me like what we did before when you were small,"
"I might have changed physically, but you are my mother who took care when I came into this world, those cherish memories can never be undone,"
" seeing you just smiling and hearing your voice makes me happy!"
"thank you, son, now let us eat I am hungry!"
"After this what are your plans?"
"I will visit my soon to be my father inlaw at the Acadamy, and see personally the conditions of students studying there,"
" and I need to evaluate certain policies concerning how we are governing and securing the safety and social status of those who are entering our land"
"I can't just sit idly and not do anything as soon as the news about your return will create two scenarios and both won't be peaceful, death of innocent people is unacceptable,"
" There are just so many things you can control son, especially how others perceive any given situation, have seen loyal subjects who serve me for years easily get swayed due to certain conditions that they themselves created,"
"do not forget to do not hold nor control their way of thinking, look at Beta, she still acts and moves based on what she thinks is right, having the same mindset doesn't mean they can't change the manner of action they need to do,"
"remember this son, the choices that you thought the collective has free access to is just an extension of the privilege you gave them that is why they are more loyal to you,"
"even if you were a vile person they will still follow you, because you can take their freedom if you wanted to, and based on the system of how you acquired them they will all be slaves to your desire,"
"luckily you were raised well by me!
. As he sat back down, he gazed out the window and admired the beautiful view of the countryside. The sun was setting, casting a warm orange glow across the fields and illuminating the distant mountains. Ramiel couldn't help but feel grateful for this moment of peace and tranquility with his mother. He knew that soon enough, he would have to return to his duties as prince and face the challenges that came with them. But for now,
He savored this moment of respite and cherished the memories that he shared with his mother. As they continued to talk, Ramiel realized how much he had grown over the years and how much his mother had influenced him to become the person he is today. He felt a deep sense of gratitude towards her and promised himself that he would always make time for her, no matter how busy his schedule got. With a contented sigh, Ramiel leaned back in his chair and enjoyed the rest of their conversation as they reminisced about their past,
That breakfast,; Beta, one hour was precious to Allatou, as Ramiel could see in her action and tone of voice, she was happy, even Beta who was portraying that she was hungry and was also accompanying the two in breakfast, was trying not to lose composure, as Queen Allatou share stories of him when he was still a child, Ramiel laughed and reacted to that tale, then after a while, he stood up and walk toward his mother and kissed her in the cheek while she was sipping her warm tea
As he walked away, Queen Allatou couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and joy in her heart. She remembered the day when Ramiel was reborn, and how she had held him in her arms for the first time. He had grown up so quickly and had become a strong and capable young man. She knew that he would make a great king one day, just like his father before him. As she sipped her tea,
Queen Allatou thought about all the challenges that lay ahead for Ramiel. The kingdom will soon be facing many threats from neighbouring countries, and there were also internal conflicts that needed to be resolved at the royal capital. But she was confident that Ramiel would be able to handle everything with grace and wisdom.
after setting foot outside his room, and proceeding toward the long corridor hall to get some fresh air, the entire place was being remodelled, and Sharncould be seen allocating personnel to move all of the mansion items toward the new builds palace,
upon hearing this he proceeded toward the library and just grab something to read, to his dismay even the library was also getting renovated, so after seeing this just went outside while all of the workers greeted him and he replied with courtesy, most of those who personally knew him greeted their king with a chest salute as they stop until their ing continued on his way,
a practice that the orc leader Finbor implemented to all those who directly work for the top executives, as a sign of discipline and respect,
The community was thriving, and expanding more new faces were living under his roof, the emblem on their hands could be seen but not all had a dark shade stating they still lac the same mindset as the rest of his people these were the new citizen that migrated to their land months ago, some of them were a bit rough and retained some their bad mannerism, especially toward other races in his city,
the law states that if the insignia mark on their hand would fade they will lose their right to stay and live in their city, Ramiel learn from Granda Tang that loyalty is the one thing that can get easily persuaded by so many factors, treachery and deceit was natural as breathing,
even if you are the most powerful person in the group, greed and desire will always find their way to ruin and hurt the one you love and care about, thrust is a big matter to the Liu Chen family, and Ramiel also concluded in his mind base on the historical fact that many great people were faced with this issue, so the only logical answer was to actually see the loyalty of a person thru his family insignia,
he continued to walk toward the Acadamy as he saw everyone seemed to be living in harmony. It was a beautiful sight to see people from different backgrounds coming together and working towards a common goal. The Orc and Dark Elven law enforcement officers were doing an excellent job of keeping the streets safe,
and their friendly demeanour was a testament to their commitment to serving the community. The occasional minor crimes that occurred were quickly resolved, and the perpetrators were held accountable for their actions. It was evident that the people of this community had a deep respect for one another, regardless of their race or social status.
They had learned to appreciate each other's differences and work towards building a better future for themselves and their families. As I walked through the streets,
he couldn't help but feel proud of this community and all that they had accomplished. It was a shining example of what can be achieved when people come together with a common purpose and work towards it with dedication and determination.
Ramiel continued his walk for this was his second time to see and experience Arcane as an ordinary person, he felt a sense of familiarity and comfort as he strolled through the bustling streets. He greeted the shopkeepers and vendors with a smile, admiring their unique wares and goods. As he passed by the enchanting gardens and fountains, he couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over him.
The people of Arcane were kind and welcoming, always eager to share their knowledge and stories with outsiders like him. He made his way to the city square where a group of musicians were playing lively tunes on their instruments. The crowd swayed to the beat, clapping along in unison. He joined in, feeling the rhythm pulse through his veins.
Meanwhile, new establishments were popping up all over the city, catering to the growing demand for goods and services.
In the midst of it all, Homunculus Imperial Physician Omicron was tirelessly attending to patients suffering from work-related sickness and other illnesses that were prevalent during this season. His expertise and dedication were greatly appreciated by the community, as he worked tirelessly to ensure that everyone received the care they needed. Despite the challenges that came with such a busy and dynamic environment, there was a sense of excitement and optimism in the air,
Ramiel was just observing the small gatherings at the city main square near the Arcane Acadamy as various different students were going to class when the rest were just reaxing and having a great time listening to musicians playing at the park .
The atmosphere was lively and energetic, with people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to enjoy the beautiful day. The sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the scene, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of blooming flowers.
As Ramiel watched, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy and contentment wash over me. It was as if all his worries and troubles had melted away in the presence of such pure happiness. he stayed there for hours, soaking up the positive energy and basking in the company of so many friendly faces.
when a light tap brushes his shoulder Ramiel was shocked to see an old acquaintance of his, it was the Dwarf Beor,
he was happy to see him, he could not hold his excitement and asked about his current situation and how this he get into Arcane and became its citizen,
Dwarf Beor was now retired after a failed raid in the Tridentum Kingdom, or Beastkin Nation a month ago, as Haella and the entire unit had to face dozen of kobold raiders living inside one of many mining caves with towns settlements in the secluded mountain in Tridentum
after the ordeal, he lost his arm and the rest of the Garden Brawlers Hunter member team were severely wounded, but he was the only member who lost the ability to continue to work as a hunter,
and because he doesn't have a home to return back, with the help of an old friend Fransbar, Muldrulir's fourth brother he was able to register here in Arcane last week ago started to work as a blacksmith and fabricate kitchen tools, he wanted to travel more but having to support his daily needs by selling kitchen tools was rather difficult,
but the Arcanian people were kind enough to help him, as they explain to Dwarf Beor, they too were like him, a refugee from a poor village that they regretfully had to leave their land due to numerous night raids from bandits, mutated monsters or worst a corrupt lord,
Ramiel was delighted to see and hear his story, he wanted to heal his wound but like what he saw a few moments ago many new residents were still doing and acting out their rude behaviour, and even if they understood the law he implemented some would even use this brag, scheme and gloat that they were the first settlers in this great land, and even have the guts to tamper their insignia to mar it look darker,
a few men and women rudely spoke to Dwarf Beor and mention a useless Dwarf like him should just leave this city, being a forger with one arm was an insult toward what their great king is implementing, Beor was quiet and rarely tal, but this he was replying back to those who were insulting his ability to earn a decent living, the group of people were mixed from human, Beastkin and elf, seeing the clothing they were wearing it seemed their family was gaining from the economic wealth that his city was providing,
Ramiel was about to react when they all ran toward the Acadamy as an alarm sounded came from the School that he was actually going to, but the group of teens left eagerly but didn't leave withing without inflicting harm to Beor, as they push him aside as he fell backwards and landed on the street pavement as they all laugh running,
"A bunch of arrogant il mannered rude young pricks,"
"if I only have both of my arms, I will beat the crap out of you all!"
" Still a true warrior!"
"Sorry about that, this is a great city but it's not perfect I still encounter people like those, especially the young ones they are condescending ."
"they all thought they have the right to be arrogant and rude, just because they are wealthy"
"I heard great things about the king, but the younger generation like those groups of people need proper discipline, and their parents won't lift a finger to do this"
"by the way where are you heading Ramiel?"
"oh me, I was heading toward the Acadamy,"
"ah, you are going to enrol there ?"
"ah! that I am just going to visit and personally see the place, do you want to accompany me? I know somebody who works there,"
"oh, a one-armed Dwarf such as myself is always free for a good friend."
"Good, after this I shall treat you to the best food and alcohol!"
"so what are we waiting for, lets go!"

As they walked into the entrance gate, the head of security was one of Finbor's sons; he was giving out instructions to the new guards when he saw the king approaching the school gate. He suddenly ran toward Ramiel and greeted him with a chest salute.
He was about to kneel down when Ramiel stopped him and mentioned this was just a casual visit and stopped him from exposing his status, The Orc introduced himself as Ulgan, the seventh son of Finbor, and Ramiel greeted him and complimented him on his action and diligence at work,
"May I ask, did you join the Corvinian mission ?"
"Yes, sir, I was able to join as a field hunter under the command of Lord Gamma."
"I hope you were able to gain new experience on that mission, I will ask Finbor to give all of you guys the opportunity to excel more in the field of battle, and I thank you for your service,"
Ulgan was so proud to receive the king's compliment, while the rest were bewildered about what was happening. Being new to their job as new citizens of Arcane, they have no idea what the king looks like or what his expectations are. However, Ulgan's dedication to his role as a guard and a soldier was undeniable. He had trained tirelessly for months,
honing his skills in combat and strategy. His hard work paid off as he quickly rose through the ranks and gained the respect of his fellow soldiers. As Ulgan stood before the king, he felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him. He knew that he had made the right decision by joining and serving his country. The king's words of praise only solidified this belief.
Beor was also confused, thinking that Ramiel might have come from a wealthy and influential family background, but certain information about Ramiel was still unknown even to him.
As Beor pondered on this, he just assumed this was the case because the Head Guard of the Academy was acting that way, Ramiel smiled and in a low secretive tone he requested that they can enter and not gain too much attention as he wants to covertly observe the place and act like he was a possible student,
As they entered, many students saw them as they casually walked the area, and many of them greeted them and even asked if they needed any help. Many female students saw a very good-looking man and wondered if he was going to enroll at the same school, but a particular group of students were glaring at them and the rest of the students, These were those typical rude and delinquent students pretending to be nice, but everything that they did and thought was inclined to their old bullying habits, which is why the insignia mark was tattooed over because the mark was no longer visible on their skin.
The group of students who were being glared at knew this all too well. They had been victims of the bullies' torment for days, and they could see through the fake smiles and friendly gestures. But they refused to let the bullies get to them anymore, as they continued to come to class with a certain amount of courage as they followed the Kings saying and school motto which was to Adapt, Learn, Overcome, and Survive,
. With each passing day, they grew stronger and more resilient, standing up for themselves and others who were being bullied. They found solace in their hobbies and passions, using them as a way to escape the negativity that surrounded them. They also sought out support from trusted adults and friends who provided them with encouragement and guidance.
As they continued to persevere, they realized that their experiences had taught them valuable lessons about empathy, compassion, and the importance of standing up for what is right. They vowed to use these lessons to make a positive impact on the world around them, spreading kindness and understanding wherever they went. And though the scars of their past may never fully fade away, they knew that they had the strength and resilience to overcome any obstacle that came their way.
seeing them just casually enter the Acadamy ground the group of delinquents saw the Dwarf that they were harassing came to their place thinking that the person who was with him was planning to report them to the headmaster,
this annoyed them as they approach with one simple reason and that was to flaunt their so-called family influence and backgrounds all eight delinquents came toward Beor and started insulting him while Ramiel and BeoR just ignored their malicious taunts, while the rest of the students tried to defend them one of the eight push the young student as he fell of the ground,
Beor had enough of their action; he went to the young man and gave him a hard slap on the face, helping the fallen student stand up with his remaining arm. The guards suddenly came, and the delinquents used their deceitful ways and just blatantly lied about what happened. As they informed the new guard that the two Academy visitors were harassing them and even using violence toward them, many reacted negatively toward what they heard, even saying they were all lying.
However, the delinquents continued to stick to their story, weaving intricate details and convincing the guards that they were the true victims in this situation. The guards, unsure of what to believe, decided to take the two visitors into custody for further questioning. A smirk and smiles came out of their faces as the guards were escorting Ramiel the Beor into the detention office for disturbing the peace when a thunderous, loud shout echoed in the entire open yard.
the headmaster saw everything and rushed toward the scene, he was furious and upset seeing that those eight deliberately made a scene again, the eight didn't even flinch, because they know that their headmaster was not just an average educator, and their wealthy family are capable of pressuring anybody,
they didn't even respect their headmaster unlike the rest of the students who bow own and silently form into an orderly line as more students enter the academy grounds, there were about ten minutes left before class starts as Headmaster Vandom Ragnar Hellmane stood in front of the arrogant Eight students and just openly said
"All of you eight rude arrogant brats are now expelled from this Acadamy!"
"I am fed up with your rude behaviour, I have been patient and lenient because of the out I took to be the headmaster of this academy."
"but this time you all cross the line and insulted somebody, who is a guess at this Acadamy!"
Everyone heard it and was shocked! Even the eight delinquents were stunned to hear this coming out of their very calm headmaster, they all reacted violently, saying that their wealthy and influential parents wouldn't accept this without precautions from their individual families
The headmaster calmly replied that he understood their concerns but was not willing to compromise on the school's values and principles. He explained that the school had a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination and that it was his duty as the headmaster to ensure that all students felt safe and respected within the school's walls.
The delinquents were left speechless, realizing that their headmaster was not going to back down from his decision. , all of them were escorted out of the academy, but the eight saw this as an insult to the family name and immediately went home and reported this to their family heads and created an additional false report that two particular persons were the reason for their explosion, saying they must act face to save their honour before they are able to leave the academy ground, knowing they are going to spend a few hours discussing this matter to the headmaster,
