Reborn as a Bully

TARAH CITY

The City of Tarah is the Capitol City of Drachia kingdom and is the seat of the kingdom's Crown Prince's Palace and also the Conjurer's Court.

Tarah City is a place where magic weaves through every street, and the air is filled with the scent of enchantment. Nestled in a hidden valley, Tarah City is a sanctuary for conjurers from across the Ten-Kingdoms. Here, templar magic is not only practiced but celebrated, and the city thrives on the extraordinary talents of its inhabitants.

As we approached Tarah city, we were greeted by towering gates, adorned with shimmering glyphs that pulsate with arcane energy. Beyond the gates, the cityscape unfolds like a dream. 

Cobblestone streets wind through a labyrinth of spellbound buildings, their architectural styles blending seamlessly between eras and cultures.

The structures themselves are an enchanting sight to behold. Elaborate towers reach toward the heavens, where sparks of magic dance across the skies, casting vibrant hues of azure, emerald, and amethyst. 

The city's central plaza was the Magic Arena, a bustling hub of magical activity. This was where conjurers of all disciplines gather to share knowledge and showcase their talents, usually in a duel in the arena. 

Throughout the city, enchanted marketplaces offer an array of mystical wares. 

Elusive potion shops sell vials filled with shimmering elixirs that grant temporary powers or heal even the gravest of wounds. Arcane bookstores brim with ancient tomes that hold the secrets of forgotten spells and rituals, waiting to be rediscovered by the eager minds of ambitious conjurers.

Tarah city's inhabitants embody the magical spirit that infuses the city. Everywhere we turned, we encountered conjurers in flowing robes, jeweled staffs, and with mystical familiars by their side. 

The streets were alive with the sounds of incantations, and the air hummed with raw magical energy.

Within the city's depths lies the Conjurer's Court, a vast building where the most skilled templars gather to delve into ancient and forbidden magics. Accessible only to those deemed worthy, the Conjurer's Court is a place of great power and peril, where the boundaries of reality are pushed to their limits.

I heard about this Court before since I was an apprentice conjurer in Slowan village while looking through the books of my Master, Greenduff.

This was the body where all conjurers wanted to join, and I even used the prestige of their name to punish an ignorant bully in the village. Who would have thought that after so many years I would finally come to see the Conjurer Court with my very own eyes.

The Kaleon family's migration to Tarah city was without many obstacles. The Kaleon family has started business in this city, after making a big killing, profiting from the war in Staari city.

Of all the merchants and families of Starri city, only the Kaleon family remain unscathed after the demon army invasion. In fact, the family's coffers grew remarkably after the war, turning the family into one of the wealthiest in the continent.

There were many resentments among those who came to Tarah city after having to pay exorbitant fees for the air passage here, flying on Kaleon's new airline. The family were unscrupulous demons among the business community of Starri city.

But on the ground, there was another story to tell about the Kaleon family.

------

"Praise the Angels of All-seeing, Bless the Lord of Kaleon", someone shouted out a prayer as he collected a bag of grain and several portions of cured meat.

There was a line at the Kaleon family mansion in Tarah city and these were refugees from Starri city who came here after the war there. They were collecting free grains and meat from the Kaleon family who offered them to the refugees as charity.

"Young Master, you are back, what took you so long?" Hagar, the family's elder and manager asked me.

"We must get as many people out of Tarah city as we could", I replied to him.

"The charity you do for the people is unheard of, I am so proud of you, young master Oriese", Hagar said to me.

"There is a benefit to charity. Now at the very least, we have the support of these people that we brought out from Starri city", I said to him.

"Yes, we have become the heroes of Starri city, at least for the poor refugees, but it is impossible for us to give charity to them indefinitely, despite all the money we earned earlier before the war", Hagar said to me.

"Yes, that is something I want to talk to you about as well, son", Orol said to me.

"The refugees are not beggars, and they don't want our charity if they have a choice and jobs", I said to him.

"I bought a large piece of empty land on the fringe of the city, and we will develop it. The refugees who can work will have plenty of jobs. After the new town is developed, we can set up industries here to support our people with more jobs", I told Orol and Hagar.

"I did not have such ambitious plans when we came to this city. I only thought about starting our Trading House again", Orol said to me.

"We are now the wealthiest family in the Ten-kingdoms, we are no longer just a Trading House", I said to them.

"What are you suggesting?" Hagar asked me.

"Arrange a meeting for me with the prince of Tarah city, the ruler of this city", I asked Hagar.

Tarah city is the capital of Drachia kingdom, and is ruled by the crown prince of Drachia, Prince Raslee. 

"Who? Why will the Prince of the city see us?" he asked me.

"The Prince will be interested to know how we are going to support the thousands of refugees that we brought to his city, he will see us", I replied to him.

------

The opulent residence of Prince Raslee exuded extravagance and luxury, adorned with priceless antiques and lavish materials. 

Our journey through the palace led us to the corridors to the main halls, where a spectacle awaited – a legion of full armors of valiant knights flanked by the remains of mythical creatures like dragons and wyrms. 

This impressive display not only showcased the city's soldiers' bravery, who undertook daring expeditions to hunt these formidable beings but also served as a testament to their valor and efficacy.
