The sun was at its highest position signaling it was already noon, Ramiel was getting hungry and still haven't seen all of his territories, since applying the loyalty mar to all of his people he could easily see those who truly have the same mindset as his. Based on how dark the symbols were, certain residents still haven't achieved those qualities to call a loyal member of his community, may are still doing acts that maligned his ideology and belief, but he never minds because he understands that it takes time to change and they are still free to choose their own path,
Ramiel decided to take a break and have lunch, hoping that he would come across some of those residents who are still struggling to be loyal. He believed that by having a conversation with them, he could understand their perspective and help them align with his vision for the community.
after seeing how Grandpa Tang and Grandama Mao receive respect among their piers still eluded him, question still linger in his mind is gaining more power and fear turns hesitation and doubt to loyalty or the act of kindness toward those who are in need of help turn desperation into loyalty,
He realized that respect is not just about power and fear, but also about acts of kindness and compassion towards others. He decided to follow in the footsteps of his grandparents and strive to be a kind and compassionate person, which he believed would ultimately lead to loyalty from those around him.
when he was still a human being, he act of kindness and generosity was known to all of his classmates and friends at Ms Dolores Tesfaye school,
but the moment hardship befall on any of them, they easily turn their back and seek others who were capable in helping then base of their influence and authority,
Despite the disappointment, he continued to show kindness and generosity towards those in need, even if they didn't reciprocate it. His actions proved that true compassion comes from within, not from external factors like popularity or wealth.
he understand the feeling of being helpless to protect what is important, seeing his Human mother get abused before was his wake up call, he develop a defense coping mechanism to hide all that pain and resentment toward those who made his mother suffer,
luckily before something vile was born out of that hate , he still hope that somebody will show him the way, that is why everything that the Liu Chen family showed him was a blessing that he can never forget the foundation of his belief now was because of their example.
their sympathetic and kind attitude came from years of hardship and overcoming all of the issue they had do deal with, they all influence him to be who he was now,
He admired his human foster family and including his own mother Amelia resilience and learned from their experiences, which shaped his own perspective on life and his approach to challenges. Their positive influence on him was immeasurable and he was grateful for their presence in his life.
" they all influence me, to be the person I am now,"
"How did I didn't realized this before, "
"I influence many of them to seek their own worth and gain the desire to move forward by just watching my own action."
"Grandpa Tang used his kindness to shape another person's mindset, in thinking that person has a choice to change in order to live,"
"continue doing evil things and succumb to the fact death will come in many shapes and possibly,"
while he took out a few coins from his pocket he saw a local bakery and saw pastries that made his stomach grumble, so he went in and something to eat, a woman was carefully placing the warm newly bae bread and saw him staring at their products, while her husband and lovely daughter was at the counter selling to their customers,
while her oldest son was busy making more batches of bread to sell,
the bakery was located near the new housing development area where Maltathdar Galadhiel younger brother of Laerdya, was part of the planning development team, the area was quite impressive seeing concrete streets and was lined with 50 square meters of Victorian 3-floor housing design on the entire two-block radius, he was seeing architectural design from gaining by the classicism of regency style, he was like walking the streets of Great Britain in the earth,
"Nothing like a strong, chocolaty-smelling coffee to open your senses in the morning."
"wait! They have chocolate here in this world too?"
the amazing aroma of the chocolate being brewed creates a smell so wonderful he can almost taste the steamed cup of his childhood happiness in his mouth He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath, savoring the moment as memories of his grandmother's kitchen flood his mind. The rich scent of cocoa and warm milk brings him back to a simpler time when all that mattered was the comfort of a hot drink and the love of family.
There is nothing better than sipping a good cup of hot chocolate on rainy days, it soothes and warms up my insides, those little fluffy white things typically made from sugar made him smile while reading a book of watching the rain drop from the sky,
The smooth liquid never fails to give joy or satisfaction whenever it is being drunk hot or cold. It may be bitter like the challenges he faces, but it can be strong like what we should be during challenges. It may be sweet and bursting with different flavor's like life when things seem to go perfectly well.
The whipped cream that clouds white in the center made Ramiel give out a huge smile of delight whenever Amelia his mother would make him some, every sip was amazing the hot chocolate will soon hit his bloodstream, and he feel more awake. his drink was scrumptious and left him feeling happy.
he stood silently dazed while remembering those days when he was able to taste chocolate The sweet aroma of cocoa beans filled his nostrils as he reminisced about the time when he could indulge in the rich, creamy goodness of chocolate without any guilt. Oh, how he longed for those carefree days! when the woman gently tap his shoulder and said
"Young man, are you ok?"
but before she could say anything his stomach grumble once again and the woman heard it a smile, he got embarrassed and showed her a few coins in his hand saying
"I would lie to purchase this bread and that hot drink but, I don't think I can afford both,"
" I'm sorry, I don't have much, but would you mind if I just buy a small snack with these coins? I haven't eaten anything all day."
suddenly a rude customer was bothering her daughter again saying he was a wealthy man and really likes her to become his partner, and even show he is actually training as an elite enforcer and was personally selected by second commander Vandom Ragnar Hellmane because of his skill and high-level ability in battle,
The mother quickly intervened and firmly told the customer that his behaviour was inappropriate and unacceptable. She reminded him that her daughter was not interested and that his status or profession did not give him the right to harass anyone.
Ramiel also partake in the discussion, and politely ask the group of men to be courteous in addressing the shop owner's family, when one of the four men saw that Ramiel doesn't even have the mark of Arcane just laughs at him saying
"How arrogant can you be! you don't even have the mark on your hand,"
"you are a nobody, you are just a refugee seeking shelter in our magnificent city, how dare to talk to me in such a manner!"
" you don't even know who are you messing with, I am the son of the wealthiest merchant in this city,"
the man grabs his collar and was about to punch him when the bakery shop door opened and more people came in buy, seeing they were still wearing training uniforms they didn't want to make a scene and just left but stare at Ramiel saying this is over,
he just gave out a sigh!
"Wherever World you go there are still people like this, what a shame!"
he was about to leave when the mother and daughter gave him their thanks by offering him free food and drink that he wanted to buy, he was declining the offer but they insisted, saying those groups have been coming to their shop for days now and nobody stood up to them because of their so-called lineage,
the father also told Ramiel that his daughter is also a cadet in training at the Arcane Military school to be an enforcer, after being influenced by the deed and actions of our king, and just offers to help at their Bakery after each class, the young lady offered the sandwich and hot chocolate that was place inside a metal flask container that was given to the cadets as one of the few items given for free for showing innate skill and talent for their own personal use and as a simple gift and recognition from the commanding office
he was impressed by the young lady's determination to become an enforcer and admired her willingness to work hard. He thanked her for the sandwich and hot chocolate and promised to visit the bakery again soon to return the flask container, and he was also intrigued by the metal flask container and asked the young lady about it. She explained that it was a special item given to cadets who showed exceptional skills and dedication and that she had earned it for her marksmanship during training. Ramiel was impressed by her skills and promised to keep an eye out for her in the future.
after hearing this he happily accepted and thank them for being so kind and helpful. He promised to keep in touch with them and expressed his gratitude for their generosity. He felt fortunate to have met such wonderful people who were willing to lend a helping hand.
