Chapter 248

Arcane was busy as ever as the information of their master new force entered all those who were connected with collective consciousness. The joy they felt was pushing them even harder to evolve and truly become alive again with all the connected resources and functions of a living being, fueling their determination to unlock the full potential of their newfound power. 

As they delved deeper into the collective consciousness, they discovered hidden knowledge and ancient wisdom that had long been forgotten, propelling them towards a profound transformation. With each passing moment, Arcane could sense themselves growing stronger, their abilities expanding beyond what they had ever imagined possible. 

Those who became citizens of Arcane could not ask for anything else, as they were all happy living under his rule. Each inhabitant was being influenced in a small way by Ramiels own mindset and personal characteristics in viewing what happiness really means, and that is to have a caring and pro-active family.

 the mystery of how they no longer have certain attachments toward the seven sins was unexplainable. Even if these so-called instincts emerged and tempted them, the joy of overcoming these temptations was more powerful. Ramiel's leadership fostered a strong sense of unity and resilience among the citizens, enabling them to resist the allure of sinful desires. This newfound strength allowed them to prioritize their collective well-being over individual indulgence, creating a harmonious and virtuous society in Arcane. 

And because they were already kind in the first place, they were openly accepted. The mark on their hands was enchanted by 4 spells: first, tracking, healing, a low-frequency link or connection to the collective, and lastly, a protective barrier that shielded them from external negative influences. These enchanted marks served as a symbol of their commitment to the collective and reminded them of their duty to uphold the values of unity and resilience in Arcane. With these additional spells, the citizens of Arcane were not only kind-hearted but also equipped with the necessary tools to maintain their harmonious and virtuous society. 

But Lady Laerdya Galadhiel only told them it was a symbol of loyalty toward their benefactor, as she saw what Ramiel meant by having a family rather than a companion and recognized the genuine love and compassion they had for one another.

 Lady Laerdya Galadhiel believed that this symbol of loyalty would serve as a constant reminder for them to always prioritize the well-being of their loved ones and the community as a whole. With this newfound understanding, Ramiel and his companions embraced their roles as protectors of Arcane, working together to ensure a prosperous and virtuous future for all its inhabitants. 

Slowly, the Homunculus officers were like the rest of the populace, as they were treated normally on their rest days, as Ramiel enforced that everybody has the right to enjoy their free time to do whatever they thought appropriate in their leisure time.

 Ramiel believed that treating all the Homunculus officers as equals, it would foster a sense of unity and camaraderie within the community. This approach not only strengthened the bond between the officers and the rest of Arcane's inhabitants but also created a harmonious environment where everyone felt valued and respected.

Beta, Echo, Alpa, and most of the Homunculus female staff, personnel, and officers, would use their time to indulge in entertaining themselves by going to bars, eating, and shopping. Ramiel, with the help of Muldrulir's entire clan, created a huge multi-level shopping building with all the available stores selling everything available on the entire land. Even Countess Herleva Mirielis, Lady Laerdya Galadhiel, and even the empress herself were not immune to the addicting feeling of shopping,

 finding joy in exploring the diverse range of products and indulging in retail therapy. The bustling atmosphere of the shopping building became a symbol of unity and camaraderie as people from all walks of life came together to share their love for shopping and discover new treasures. 

Ramiel also allowed tourist to enter their domain but in a limited time as Muldrulir and Lady Laerdya Galadhiel created a simple device that will be used upon entering the transfer given as an official Arcanian immigration officer will provide each tourist a simple necklace that can be adjusted on how many days the user will stay in Arcane, after spending the allocated day, in the end, the user will just be informed as the pendant will emit a bright light informing that the person wearing the necklace has ended the tour in Arcane, but losing or removing said device around the neck has also a spell on it at it will immediately alert the enforcers to imprison of deport the tourist back to his or her homeland.

This necklace serves as a convenient way for tourists to keep track of their allotted time in Arcane. Additionally, it acts as a security measure to ensure that visitors adhere to the rules and regulations of the city. Ramiel Hilas and Irles Filri would be roaming the streets of Arcane and just enjoying their day, as he promised them both he would always do for them. Before the wedding that would be held as soon as the Sovereign King and the rest of the Demiurgo family responded to his wedding invitation, Ramiel wanted to make the most of their time in Arcane, as he knew it was a unique and enchanting city. Exploring the streets together, they marvelled at the stunning architecture and immersed themselves in the vibrant atmosphere. Ramiel couldn't wait for his loved ones to experience this magical place with him during their upcoming wedding celebration. 

Beta, Echo and Alpha instantly became close as they saw each other in a familiar territory, they all looked like teens around the age of 18 years old in human age, so because Alpha was new to their group she was introduced to a variety of interesting socio-cultural and interactions with the normal world were being part of society was the essence of being part of the community the three notice the increasing number of tourist in their kingdom,

Many tourists who were foolish enough to cause trouble were never given a chance to come back; some just got traumatized from doing the illegal action again, as Echo's team was responsible for the culprit's discipline, ensuring that the kingdom remained a safe and welcoming place for both residents and visitors. Despite the occasional incidents, Alpha quickly realized the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship between the locals and tourists, as it played a crucial role in sustaining their kingdom's economy and cultural exchange. 

ensuring that they faced the consequences of their actions. Alpha quickly learned the importance of maintaining a harmonious relationship between the kingdom and its visitors, as it was crucial for the overall well-being and reputation of their community. Despite the occasional challenges, Alpha felt privileged to be part of a team that upheld justice and protected their beloved kingdom. They were having a great time introducing alcohol to Alpha, and this made their activity more interesting as the three were awful at managing their alcohol intake.

As the three just roamed the streets of a shopping district like real teens, they couldn't help but feel a sense of freedom and excitement. The vibrant atmosphere of the shopping district added to their enjoyment, with its bustling crowds and colorful storefronts. It was a refreshing change from their usual duties, allowing them to momentarily escape the responsibilities that came with protecting the kingdom. 

The usual shenanigans of teens were seen in the action, as they just had fun with a certain amount of dignity and grace as they were still representing the king, but the Arcanian citizens just let them be and gave them the freedom to let loose and enjoy themselves. The locals greeted them with warm smiles and even joined in on the festivities, creating a sense of solidarity between the visitors and the community. But not all tourists were happy seeing this kind of scene, as the trio got away for being loud and drunk. Sadly, a group of teen aristocrats with their bodyguards also visited the notorious, powerful, and advanced vast kingdom of Arcane in the commercial and restaurant district. 

The teen aristocrats were accustomed to a more reserved and formal atmosphere, and the exuberant celebration of this specific trio made them feel annoyed. They couldn't help but compare it to the grandeur and sophistication they had been displaying all these years. 

Some even say that if these three female teens were in their domain, they would end up getting whipped or sold into slavery. These teen aristocrats were no longer enjoying the scene, as they felt it was beneath their social status. The loud music, crowded streets, and casual attire of the partygoers clashed with their refined tastes and expectations. They longed for a more elegant and exclusive setting where they could truly feel at home. Sadly, Echo accidentally spilt wine on one of the teen aristocrats' expensive shoes, causing a momentary pause in the conversation.

The teen aristocrat's face flushed with embarrassment as she quickly tried to salvage her stained shoe, realizing that her refined image had been momentarily tarnished. This is something that Echo never expected, but she was kind enough to ask for forgiveness and even offer to clean the teen female aristocrat's wet shoe. As soon as Echo leans down to touch the wet shoe, the aristocrats kick her in the face and adding to the shock, the kick is imbued with an attack spell, and a huge smoke of dust engulfs the open place. As they were eating and drinking outside along the regulated street,

The commotion caused by the sudden attack drew the attention of nearby patrons, who were startled. They dropped their utensils and hurriedly moved away from the chaotic scene. The atmosphere that was once filled with laughter and conversation now became tense and uneasy as everyone anxiously awaited an explanation for the unexpected aggression, Echo was still in the same posture and the aristocrat's feet were touching her face as if nothing had happened. . Some onlookers began to speculate about the possible motives behind the attack, while others grew increasingly concerned for Echo's well-being.

 The aristocrat's nonchalant behavior only added to the confusion and frustration felt by those witnessing the disturbing scene. Beta quickly grabbed Echo by the arm and acted as if she were her older sister, asking for forgiveness and trying to diffuse the tension. She guided Echo away from the aristocrat, ensuring all of their safety and giving her a sense of comfort. Meanwhile, whispers of the incident spread throughout the crowd, with people expressing their disbelief at the aristocrat's lack of remorse., and attacking the wrong and worst possible person in the trio, Echo was smiling as Beta dragged her away, 

" nice! you want to play with me, young girl?"

" he he he… I want to play with you, you started this game!"

Beta grabbed Echo on both of her shoulders while facing her, Echo was drunk and losing control her murdering intent was leaking out of her body as her smile got creepier, while she was still staring at the female aristocrat that kicked her, the crowd grew increasingly uneasy. Some onlookers began to fear for the safety of the aristocrat, worried that Echo's unsettling demeanor might escalate the situation even further. Others, however, couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction seeing the arrogant aristocrat finally face some consequences for her actions. 

When an incident arose in an open street bar, Beta took charge and tried her best to diffuse the situation with the group of visiting Aristocrats. even bending her head to demonstrate her humility and dedication to upholding peace. Despite facing initial resistance, Beta's diplomatic skills and ability to diffuse tension allowed her to successfully resolve the situation without any further conflict.

As they move along, hopefully this situation wont escalate even more, ensuring that everyone can continue to enjoy the precious moments without any disruptions. Beta's calm and composed demeanor sets a positive example for others. Deep down in her gut this won't be that simple, as arrogance and stubbornness often hinder progress. Just to assure Echo, she will have her opportunity if those groups still insist on acting out their foolish inhibitions and doing something stupid the moment they get their chance. She knows she must stay vigilant and prepared for any potential escalation. Beta understands that it's important to address the underlying issues causing the disruptions rather than just reacting to them. She remains hopeful that, through open communication and understanding, a resolution can be reached that benefits everyone involved. 

a sign of a true diplomat, but Echo, on the other hand, seems to lack the same level of diplomatic skills as Beta. His loyalty is unwavering towards his masters, but his actions and reactions may be driven more by personal ego than a genuine desire for resolution. But her twisted and frigile ego was triggered to the point that it made her smile like an absolute maniac, while Alpha was just enjoying her meat barbecue.

Echo was walking with a pouting, annoyed look on her face , but Beta just continued to walk with a calm and composed demeanor. He seemed unfazed by Echo's behavior, understanding that her reactions were more about her own ego than any genuine disagreement. Beta knew she was a sensitive person but it not mean she is wicked; she just lack the tolerance from people who bullies her base on her young appearance, which often led to her feeling defensive and easily provoked. Despite this, Beta chose to remain patient and understanding, knowing that Echo's outbursts were not a true reflection of her character. 

soon Echo mood gradually change for the better as she saw Ramiel  drinking coffee with Hilas and Irles Filri a few feet outside a known drinking establishments that they usually visit, Echo ran toward her master and greeted her like a young sister with delight and hyper activeness , and after elegantly bowed to the two soon to be queen, the two smiled and complimented Echo as if she was truly the youngest member of their huge families, while Alpha and beta casually greeted the tree most powerful authority in Arcane,

Beta bow and wanted to report something, but Ramiel smiled and just raised his hand, gestured a simple response, and told her it was their rest day. Whatever happened, he trusted her that they would do the right thing and that their actions were justifiable and proper, assuring her that he had faith in their decision-making abilities. He emphasized the importance of taking time off to recharge and reminded Beta that they would address any issues when they resumed their duties. Ramiel's confidence in their team's integrity and professionalism put Beta at ease, allowing her to trust in their judgment and enjoy their well-deserved break. 

the trio smiled and all bow down to continue their day, knowing very well they were being already watch, Ramiel just smiles and utter the words 

"a bunch of fools!"

soon the trio continued their day off debauchery and along the way saw most of their co piers like Imperial Hell Guard commander Gamma without his armor, the huge sturdy muscular looking bald headed braided beard man that loo like was around forty year old and stood seven feet tall and was Ruggedly handsome, and beside him was Imperial Enforcer Captain Sierra a six feet tall short red color side-swept bangs and has a firm slender body that all men saw alluring and captivating, she has his stern look but the moment Gamma offered his compliment she would just smile that melts that serious look on her lovely face,

as they were seen coming out of a store were freshly baked pastries were made and sold, this was the second time Beta saw Gamma buying sweet pasties , and seeing Sierra with him now means tells a lot about their relationship. Beta couldn't help but wonder if there was something more than just a casual friendship between Gamma and Sierra. The way they interacted and the genuine smiles exchanged made Beta question if there was a deeper connection brewing between them. 

Like any other shopping and commercial district, the entire street was lined with various establishments that catered to the needs of every visitor to its long open streets, including restaurants, bars, and shops. and at the very end of this street was the first multi level floor building with more shops inside as they call in the shopping center, 

this was their final destination, as the street were filled with so many people from all walks of life, as the trio greeted everybody happily and they were greeted back because the citizen knew who they were and just understood that they have their reasons being just part of the vibrant community and just be normal, as the place were filled with so many interesting people, each with their own unique stories and experiences to share. The trio felt a sense of belonging and excitement as they immersed themselves in the diverse atmosphere, eager to learn from and connect with the individuals they encountered. 

Unfortunately, most tourists who flocked to that particular commercial district, were unaware that the three were recognized as their leaders and top officers, and their actions were never questioned because they didn't used their authority in any way, and ruin their master honor. as Beta holds the title of Grand Vicegerent, Echo is the Imperial Hellmage, and Alpha is a humanoid wolgan who serves as Ramie's guardian and protector,

even with their influential positions, they were inconspicuous in the busy street, interacting with locals and tourists alike without drawing attention to themselves. This allowed them to gather valuable information and maintain a low profile, ensuring the safety and security of their kings and the kingdom as a whole. Beta's role as the Grand Vicegerent involved overseeing administrative tasks and maintaining order within the kingdom, while Echo, as the Imperial Hellmage, was responsible for protecting against supernatural threats and maintaining the balance of magical forces. Together with Alpha, they formed an unstoppable trio that safeguarded their family and ensured the prosperity of their realm. 

but today they were just ordinary citizen of Arcane who were enjoying their weekly recreation break like the rest of the townspeople. They relished the opportunity to temporarily set aside their duties and immerse themselves in the simple pleasures of everyday life. Engaging in activities such as strolling through the bustling marketplace or indulging in a friendly game of cards,they revelled in the sense of normalcy that enveloped them during these precious moments.
