Chapter 205

Waking up from a dream was never this meaningful, after days of re-organising the Royal Capital all of the inhabitants were finally returning to their normal state as if nothing happened, but the fact remained in their hearts that their Real ruler came back stronger and more resolute with her policies in giving all those who are under her care the utmost freedom and comfort to pursue their dreams,

Queen Allatou Estrith Demiurgos never indulge in extravagant celebration and deemed it unnecessary luxury, a natural born and raised warrior as she see the simplicity of life, the only thing that was announced publicly was the acknowledgement of the Kingdom of Arcane under the Royal rule of her son Ramiel Sinclair Demiurgos,

Ramiel gave out his statement concerning his domain and stated there is only one Ruler of Sheol. Ramiel emphasized that while Arcane would maintain its independence, it would still adhere to certain regulations and guidelines as a sister kingdom. He clarified that the reason for this was because the territory on which Arcane was founded did not fall within the boundaries of the newly established Empire of Sheol, which is now under the rule of the Marauding Empress Allatou Estrith Demiurgos.

Additionally, Ramiel assured everyone that, despite these changes, the sovereignty and unique identity of Arcane would remain intact. He emphasized that the people of Arcane would continue to govern themselves and make decisions that align with their values and traditions. Ramiel also highlighted that maintaining their sovereignty would allow Arcane to preserve its distinct culture and heritage, ensuring a harmonious coexistence with the Empire of Sheol.

Letters poured in from all the other realms that were governed by the Demiurgos clan, congratulating Empress Allatou and her son, King Ramiel, for successfully establishing Arcane as an independent kingdom. The letters also expressed hopes for a strong alliance between their respective realms and Arcane, recognizing the potential benefits of such a union.

Like his mother, he just wants a simple life. Peace in the land can never truly be achieved; freedom is always accompanied by choice, and this particular right tends to get swayed easily by greed and personal interest, turning privilege into special rights. Unlike in Arcane, Ramiel understood the complexity of choice and freedom, so a simple rule was to establish, follow his social and moral mindset, and be part of his community with all the necessary freedom they could have in a form of an insignia mark on their hand.

As a way of identifying those who were in sync. or in line with his personal views, Ramiel implemented the insignia mark as a symbol of unity and shared values. This mark served as a visual representation of their commitment to upholding the principles of choice and freedom within their community.

but the remaining nobles who swore fielty to the Empress declined this type of implementation now, considering the citizens were abused by the former ruling noble leaders, so the majority of the citizen of the Royal capital will reject this and negatively view this idea, unlike in Arcane they freely accepted this because of the drastic need to have a place to stay and call home,

Ramiel Went back to being a Guild hunter to freely travel the land and explore and learn new things while there was still peace, knowing that this was just a short vacation because Tharkeroth Dallmethad and his entire clan were still free to wreak havoc. Ramiel's decision to assume his task as Guild hunter was driven by his desire to explore, learn and finally protect innocent lives from the wrath of Tharkeroth and his clan. With their continued freedom, Ramiel knew that danger loomed and it was his duty to bring them to justice before they could unleash chaos once again.

And because his identity was kept hidden even though he stood on top of the main castle and in front of all the citizens of Sheol as his mother the Empress declare him her only son without exposing too many details, and only showed half of his face he could easily walk the street and any part of the land without getting any unwanted attention, by just changing the colour of his hair and eyes and hide his enormous energy that could be easily be felt by any average being,

before venturing out again to explore the entire land, Ramiel gave out specific orders to never share vital and critical magic-fused technology with anybody even if they were their allies, even the Empress agreed to this certain magic-fused technology artefacts were prohibited mainly for the reason that these Magitech has already drastically changed the landscape of their world, and they both understood the implications of this devices might do if it falls into the wrong hands,

transfer gate spell was personally created and personalized by Ramiel and only those who were loyal and close to him can freely use and cast it, Lady Laerdya Galadhiel was the head Magitech developer to ensure that her creation was safe she places from getting into the wrong hands and be used for vile things, she places a scanning spell that certain genetic physical code of the user has in their body, these Magitech items were hand-held energy weapons, communication head visor devices both visual and Audio, and chemical weapons were strictly banned.

while Magitech that was used for entertainment was approved on the condition it must be only publicly available to the masses and not become an individual product, knowing the full effect of having a handheld entertainment device on hand tend to get addictive and gradually corrode certain aspects of proper social engagement and physical interaction,

so portable energy crystals were regulated and exclusively manufactured and controlled by Arcane, these so-called entertainment Magitech devices can be seen in all affiliated cities within the safety confinements of their domain such as public places indoors or outdoors, these were installed to provide free information or news, music and entertainment to all citizens like traditional and cultural theatre plays that everybody could see and appreciate

within the Magitech development project. Lady Laerdya Galadhiel's expertise in safeguarding the technology extended beyond just the scanning spell. She implemented a complex encryption system that made it nearly impossible for unauthorized individuals to tamper with or replicate the Magitech devices. This made Ramiel feel at ease, knowing the knowledge in his home world was in safe hands,

Ramiel prepares to leave Arcane and visit his first self-imposed friend

Loki Ingeborg, as he turns his hair less white and a bit darker nearing the colour ash grey and his eyes less golden and wore the energy suspension Magitech on his body as Symbiote armour glady infused the device function in its body and because the Symbiote armour was a sentient animal before they still can reshape into a material form most of the time an armguard or the lower half mask,

as soon as he was transported to the back building of the Royal Guild office in Ivlares city to first visit the guild manager and resume his guild task and just ignore the widespread news of the Queens Allatou's return to power and establish a new era as Empress and the rumoured battle Archmage was her son, Lā mǐ'ěr was just the jumbled letters of Ramiel,

many speculate that there was a certain young man who resemble and was similar to the king of Arcane, and even recalled he also has the same look and name, everybody got into a frenzy as they each gave their reason and speculation, until Loki told them that it is impossible to increase one's innate born power,

Ramiel enters the guild lobby everybody saw him and those who knew him rushed toward him including Loki and question him directly about his resemblance to the king of Arcane. They were eager to uncover the truth behind this uncanny similarity and understand if there was any connection between Ramiel and the king. The air in the guild lobby was filled with anticipation as they awaited Ramiel's response, hoping to finally solve the mystery that had captivated their thoughts.

Ramiel took out his Guild ID pendant and showed everyone he was level 25, and even requested to be appraised there and then by the guild staff to confirm his energy level, a mage with assessment power cast a spell in him as they all gather around, it was a chaotic scene that he already assumed will happen the moment he walks in the main lobby, but he knew it was necessary to prove his worth and gain their trust. As the spell revealed his impressive energy level of just 25, a wave of excitement and somewhat a sense of sadness and relief washed over all the guild member's faces,

their determination to uncover the mystery was now answered, as they all saw and personally confirmed that this young man whose name was similar to the king of Arcane was truly one of the and not the so-called Black Battle Archmage who was registered to have a power level of more than a thousand,

Everyone gave out a disappointing sigh because they were all hoping that the Ramiel who was sitting on the guild table lobby was truly the same king of Arcane, s they can gain a certain amount of bragging rights and openly say They knew this great warrior, sadly everything they hoped for came crashing down, even knowing for a fact many inhabitants of the land has white hair and changing one's colour can be attributed to the ever-growing aristocratic and female fashion lifestyle in any city, anybody can easily change their hair colour,

Many eyewitnesses mention the Black Battle Archmage's eyes were not your average gold eyes, but instead, Lā mǐ'ěr eyes were glowing gold, emitting an otherworldly aura that captivated all who saw them. This unique trait further fueled the legends surrounding the warrior, as it was believed to be a manifestation of their immense magical power.

As they continued to stare into Ramiels eyes, there were no signs of this so-called Radiant glow, Ramiel'sone by one they just tap his shoulders and utter the word

It's just coincidence, guys"

as they casually apologise to the young hunter and just return to their daily drinking routine after a task was done Despite the lack of the rumoured Radiant glow, Ramiel's reputation as a skilled and level-headed hunter remained intact. Their comrades knew that true power resided within Ramiel, regardless of any rumours and speculation, they even pointed

" his hair wasn't even white, to begin with!"

Slowly everything went back to normal and Ramiel was now free from all of their speculations about being the king of Arcane, allowing them to focus solely on their duties as a hunter. their individual and group dedication and expertise in hunting down dangerous creatures, this was a good sign for Ramiel his identity was still hidden and with this he can freely move around and do whatever he needed to do, being normal and average was a relief for Ramiel. He could finally blend in with the crowd without drawing any unwanted attention.

It was a fresh start for him, where he could explore his interests and live a life free from the burden of being a ruler of a powerful kingdom. Now, he could pursue his passions and discover who he truly was outside of his royal title, Loki Ingeborg was now able personally talk to Ramiel and asked him what happened in the past few days, and even ask how did he manage to lower his energy level to what was indicated in his guild necklace tag,

he was about to answer Loki when Taeriel with Fionne the beastling and Cathetel Adoe Guild staff members erratically just sat down near the two and erratically also question Ramiel, eager to know the details of his recent adventures. The sudden influx of questions overwhelmed Ramiel, but he couldn't help but feel a sense of camaraderie among these guild members. As they all shared their stories and exchanged everything, so Loki had no choice but to force a task on Ramiel just to stop them from continuously questioning him by his staff,

"This is an open support task, in the western land seven days of travel and the reason was still unspecified this was sent by the Garden Brawlers a few days ago, and many already took on the task travelled there,"

eager to uncover the mystery behind it. The Garden Brawlers, known for their strategic expertise, rarely sent out open support tasks without a clear objective. or a dire threat lurking in the western land only added to the intrigue surrounding this mission.

" it came from Haella Talaedra!"

"do you know the Garden Brawlers leaderHaella!"

"yes."

"This unfair brother Loki, Ramiel just came back and now you are sending him off on another task,"

"You are really cruel!"

"Don't worry Taeriel m I will return right after helping a friend of mine,"

"If you say so, I really can't stop you anyway it's your job as a Guild member. but still, you just came back!"

Ramiel gently brush Taeriel's hair and stood up and gave Loki and hand shake as he mention that Hilas will be happy to see him, even mentioning a few group Adventurers and hunters will be departing toward the same location tomorrow after lunch, Ramiel nodded and went on his way to see one of his fiancées,

The city of Ivlares was now twice as busy after Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron took a risk by signing an economic and non-aggression pact with the kingdom of Arcane a month ago. The government-operated trader in this city is controlled by the Viscountess herself with the help of a few loyal nobles who became her trusted advisors and staff personnel.

The pact with the kingdom of Arcane brought a surge of trade and investment to Ivlares, attracting merchants and entrepreneurs from all over the realm. As a result, the government-operated trader in the city became a bustling hub of commerce, with goods and resources flowing in and out at an unprecedented rate. Hilas Ugrihron's decision to include and involve loyal nobles as her trusted advisors and staff personnel proved instrumental in efficiently managing this increased economic activity.

The very centre of this operation was the Viscountess Mansion, Hilas Ugrihron forced Earl Reeve Gallien to manage most of the internal workings and actual leg work as she was more focused on personal matters considering he was his second cousin, it was a well-known fact that Hilas Ugrihron was not really into business but right after her husband died In the Arm of another man, she had to act fast and try to salvage what was left in his dead husband family name,

She dislike having the surname of Ugrihron it kept her reminded that she was just another political bargaining chip in the game. Despite her initial reluctance, Hilas knew she had to marry an unknown misogynist or a woman hater just so her father can move up the political ladder and earn more respect toward other nobles that sadly turned their back the moment, these nobles lost interest in her father's progressiveness,

Hilas felt trapped in a web of societal expectations, yearning for her own independence and the chance to forge her own path. She knew that breaking free from the chains of her family name would require immense courage and sacrifice before, slowly as she realize that having a title and wealth can never fill the void in anybody's heart, trying so hard to gain acknowledgement was not the right answer,

but her encounter with Ramiel who was unbelievably enigmatic and made her question everything she thought she knew about herself and her desires. Ramiel's mysterious nature and unconventional way of life intrigued Hilas, igniting a spark of rebellion within her. As they spent more time together, Hilas began to see the possibility of a different kind of freedom - one that came from within herself, rather than from societal expectations or material possessions.

the Antlion outbreak and massive political shift in the region caused widespread panic and uncertainty among the population. The Antlion outbreak, characterized by the sudden surge in their population and destructive behaviour, led to the destruction of crops and habitats,

further exacerbating the already dire economic situation. in poor areas. Simultaneously, a massive political shift occurred as long-standing leaders were purged from power, leaving a power vacuum that added to the chaos and instability in the region. it took everybody's time and survival instinct to overcome this issue.

resulting in a collective effort to find innovative solutions. Communities, guilds, and merchants came together to implement sustainable farming practices and develop alternative sources of income, and at the very core of this movement were the nobles who secretly accepted Count Tiarsus Mirielis's proposal to support the leaders of Ivlares city and Avarel, who was in a non-formal agreement before to protect the inhabitants of Sheol from the corruption of the other nobles who were manipulating and abusing their power,

As numerous skirmishes and lawlessness ran rampant every were, it was obvious that Duke Gilvores Dallmethad was doing nothing to prevent this even made it worst by appointing a well know warlord to sit as the crown regent head councillor to manage the issues of the kingdom, so he many lower nobles had to keep their mouth and eyes shut just to survive, until everything change when the Black Battle Archmage appeared and created hope base on his honourable acts toward the weak,

And now after officially confirming that Black Battle Archmage named Lā mǐ'ěr is indeed Royalty,

Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron had to act accordingly and not just force everything based on emotion, that is why she has been working tirelessly for days now to efficiently govern her city to the sudden change of the political landscape and ensure a smooth transition for her citizens. With the newfound knowledge of Lā mǐ'ěr's royal status,

Viscountess Hilas Ugrihron understands the importance of diplomacy and strategic decision-making in order to maintain stability and gain the support of other influential figures in the realm. She knows that her city's future depends on her ability to adapt and navigate this new political landscape and ensure placing the proper personnel that will occupy her spot when the time comes when she gains the title of Dextral Queen,
