It was still early and the busy streets and commercial district of the Royal Capital lie always filled will so many various people and different races from all walks of life, the news that was announced recently made everybody question many things considering they never heard anything about this so-called new kingdom rising inside the forsaken forest that was months of travel away from were they are,
Another ploy or scheme from greedy nobles to earn more territory and natural resources from different lands, the only thing that they all knew was true was that many small towns and villages were plundered, attacked, and invaded by those same nobles, stating that it was necessary to maintain a certain amount of peace and stability as these villages and many of the residents were plotting against the Royal Capital,
but the truth was far from it. The nobles were simply using this as an excuse to expand their own wealth and power, at the expense of innocent people. The small towns and villages were left defenseless against these attacks, with no one to turn to for help. It was a vicious cycle that seemed to have no end in sight. But there were those who refused to stand idly by and watch as their homes and loved ones were taken from them.
These brave souls banded together, forming a resistance movement that would fight back against the corrupt nobles and their armies. but they failed, and some just wandered the land seeking another place to call home until many of them found it in the most unlikely of places. They stumbled upon a hidden valley, nestled deep in the forsaken forest, where they discovered a community of War Orcs who were serving a direct lineage to the Queen.
At first, they were hesitant and reluctant, but seeing that the Orcs were civilized and honourable, they agreed to join their growing community. sharing their knowledge and resources to create a safe haven for all who sought refuge from the tyranny of the ruling class. As word of this sanctuary spread, more and more people flocked to its borders, seeking shelter from the chaos that reigned outside.
The community grew and prospered, after a few months it became a city as they built homes, farms, and schools with the help of their protector and head, in a place where death was inevitable if you are weak and helpless.
the once notorious forest there had been only death awaits rise to a strong and lavish kingdom. And as they all worked together to build a new life, with honor, loyalty and order under the guide of those who serve the leader, and follow his examples and mindset with pride and dignity as they saw he was truly capable of bringing them into a prosperous future,
they also began to plan for the day when they would fight and protect what was given to them by their leader and become their king, as they personally confirmed what the Orcs told all of them was rightfully his to claim.
It was not an easy task, but with each passing day, their resolve grew stronger. They trained in secret, honing their skills and preparing for the inevitable conflict that lay ahead. And when the time finally came, they were ready.
Meanwhile, Ram was doing his daily task as a garrison servant, while listening to the travelling merchants who were talking among the inhabitants and local citizens in the area, about the drastic fall of this city in the hands of those greedy noblemen and wealthy influential merchants, who had been exploiting the poor and vulnerable people of the city for their own gain. Ram couldn't help but feel a sense of anger and frustration at the injustice that was taking place right under his nose. He knew that something needed to be done to put an end to this corruption and restore justice to the people.
As he continued with his daily tasks, he started to think about ways in which he could make a difference and bring about change. Perhaps he could rally the people together and form a resistance movement against the oppressors, or maybe he could seek out more allies among other cities that were also suffering from similar injustices. Whatever the case may have been, Ram was determined to take action and fight for what was right. He knew that it wouldn't be easy, but he was willing to do whatever it took to make a difference and bring about a better future for himself and his fellow citizens.
Beta was leading twenty-five of her own Symbiote Homunculus units as carriage and transportation drivers in the city, with the help of the seven community leaders her task was smoothly implemented, and because they were able to interact with many people including the lower servants going in and out of the royal castle walls,
while most women, who were ill-favored by many because of their look weak appearance and old age, were new standard practices in gaining a maid, this was forcibly implemented by Baroness Leena Erdan, because many female maids were getting abused and raped while conducting their daily duties at the castle, the royal governing buildings reputation was being dragged down because of this malicious acts, so she just hired the less desirable woman to avoid more immoral acts,
so since a few months ago, many ill-favored women were now serving the inner castle as maids doing manual labor like housekeeping and custodians to noble families that work inside.
The disguise queen has somewhat annoyed seeing so many casually walk inside the governing establishment and use it as they see fit without even observing a certain amount of decency or following protocols she and her other siblings created and established. She was known to be impulsive, but she never disobeyed or broke any rules she implemented.
Her marauding title was given to her based on her action on the front line in the great sovereign war. Being the youngest, she was rather hyperactive and of a very unpredictable nature, but her courage and bravery in battle were unmatched. She fought with a ferocity that left her enemies trembling in fear. Her reputation as a fierce warrior spread far and wide, and many looked up to her as a symbol of strength and resilience. Despite her wild nature, she was also known for her kindness and compassion towards those who were less fortunate.
She often spent time with the sick and wounded, offering them comfort and solace in their time of need. Her leadership skills were also highly regarded, as she had a knack for bringing people together and inspiring them to work towards a common goal. In many ways, she was the embodiment of what it meant to be a true leader: someone who was willing to put herself on the line for the greater good, someone who inspired others to be their best selves, and someone who always led by example.
So seeing these people as conceited and too self-important with their status, they just came to her home, which was the symbol of social achievement, changed everything inside, and made it their mission to prove her wrong.
as she recalled working tirelessly to organize events and initiatives that brought together people from all walks of life, regardless of their social status or background. They focused on creating a sense of community and belonging and encouraged everyone to work towards a common goal: making the world a better place for everyone. As time went on, more and more people joined her cause, inspired by the passion and dedication of these loyal individuals following the Queen's example.
Together, they organized charity events, volunteer programs, and educational initiatives that helped uplift those in need and bring hope to those who had lost it. Through their tireless efforts, they were able to break down the barriers that had once divided them and create a truly inclusive community where everyone was valued and respected.
And at the heart of it all was their leader, a woman who had once been skeptical of their intentions but had come to see the true value in bringing people together for a greater purpose. Today, their legacy lives on as a testament to the power of unity.
She was cleaning one of the meeting halls when a rude noblewoman ordered her to bring them some refreshments as eleven female noble wives and representatives discussed the upcoming war and used this situation to further exploit the people's fear to put more gold in their families' pockets.
but one of them refused. It was Countess Melronna Preszeiros. She knew that their cause was bigger than any one person's greed, and she would not compromise her principles for anyone.
The woman felt a sense of anger and frustration as she watched the noblewomen disregard the needs of the common people. She knew that this was not what unity was supposed to look like. Unity was about coming together for a greater purpose, not exploiting others for personal gain.
But she was outnumbered by the other female nobles and aristocratic participants in the meeting, even saying she was a fool to believe in those notions of being honorable despite the fact that her husband's territory was lacking in so many things.
Countess Melronna Preszeiros refused to act in a despicable manner and stood firm in her beliefs as the rest laughed at her idiotic belief in being a person of sympathy and generosity toward those who have nothing. As she stood up and walked toward the meeting hall door, the old female servant bowed her head and mentioned that she was an honorable person, great fortune and blessings would come to her family.
Countess Melronna Preszeiros heard this and looked at the old maidservant and gave her the same respect and smile as she went back to her husband's domain after being away for more than a week, to tend to her four children's needs while living at the Royal Academy boarding house to study. This was her last day,
as they will all go back home with her two sons and three daughters after the Crown regent declares war on an unconfirmed and unseen kingdom in the heart of the forsaken forest. Countess Melronna Preszeiros felt a mix of emotions as she prepared to leave the Royal Capital She was excited to be reunited with her children and return to her husband's domain.
but the news of war cast a shadow over her homecoming. The thought that they were all leaving the safety of the city and venturing into the unknown depths of the forest made her uneasy. She wondered what kind of kingdom could exist in such a place and what kind of people would be willing to wage war against an unknown enemy inside the most dangerous place in the land.
As she gathered all their belongings and made sure to secure her children's safety inside the carriage, and as she said her goodbyes to those she was able to help inside the city, even her children were emotional after many months of seeing these same people serving them with a smile and warmth.
As they left the city gates, the mother couldn't help but feel a sense of loss and uncertainty. She knew that their journey ahead would be long and perilous, with no guarantee of safety or success. The road was rough and winding, and the weather was unpredictable,
with sudden storms and extreme temperatures. But she also knew that they had no other choice but to press on for the sake of their survival Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months as they travelled through unfamiliar lands, encountering different cultures and languages along the way. They faced many challenges and obstacles,
from bandits and wild animals to harsh terrain and scarce resources. But they also experienced moments of kindness and generosity from strangers who offered them shelter, food, and guidance. Despite all the hardships they endured,
she never lost hope or faith in their quest for a better life. She instilled in her children a sense of resilience and determination that kept them going even when they felt like giving up. while the old man Beta was listening to them as they journeyed back home for two days was cut short when Beta used a transfer gate toward their home,
transporting them instantly to their land, as soon as the carriage stop they were confused thinking they might be getting robbed in the middle of the road, scared for her families life Countess Melronna Preszeiros took out a dagger and pointed it toward the Carriage door, the moment it opened she was shocked to see her husband standing in front of the door,
as dozen of carriages were seen coming out of their individual transfer gate with family members of the nine noble lords who were loyal to the Queen and were now inside the unconfirmed kingdom of Arcane,
as the old man driving them greeted and welcome Countess Melronna Preszeiros's family, while he morph into a good looking short curly black hair woman who was wearing an official uniform with a familiar insignia on her coat jacket,
Count Uthorim Preszeiros held his wife's hand and explained the reason they had to do this and pointed out that all nine nobles that she personally knew were all transported here for their personal protection, while the rest of their people were being protected and trained by the Queen and prince army, confused and bewildered to what was happening she couldn't utter a single word,
but the moment she step out of the carriage she was dumbfounded to see huge towering infrastructures that were beyond what they saw at the Royal capital, everybody was amazed at what they are now seeing,
even if they were inside a vast coliseum-type structure it was so massive the open field inside it was able to hold more than a few thousand people with ease, it stood tall with seven floors encircling the entire area,
Even the structure, was massive and what made their eyes grow wider was seeing a taller building defying logic standing outside the place they were at, reaching towards the sky with its sharp edges and sleek design. The cityscape was a far cry from what they were used to, with bustling streets and futuristic metal carriage vehicles zooming past them.
The air was thick with the scent of technology and innovation, a stark contrast to the natural scents of the towering forest trees they dreaded entering before.
As they travel through the city, using nine magic-powered large comfortable vehicles, that were designed by the prince himself, all the nine noble families couldn't help but feel small in comparison to the towering structures that surrounded them. The people here seemed to be in a constant state of motion, always rushing from one place to another with purpose. It was overwhelming, but also exhilarating.
as they reach their final destination and they all nearly faint seeing a magnificent modern palace that was a fifty-floor building that Beta mentioned will be their temporary home until everything settles down, as she introduces Sharn to be the officer who will be tending to all of their basic needs,
