Eastern Region, Virella Town…
Virella was bustling with activity as people from outside the town came to trade or just look around.
Since coming under Elina's control, the town had made remarkable progress. Its area had even doubled in size.
To give the town a more orderly layout, houses that had once been built haphazardly were demolished and relocated to the southern part of the city.
Meanwhile, the downtown area was designated for shops and lodgings to accommodate merchants coming to do business.
Although construction was still going on, everything was running smoothly. The people of Virella followed the rules set by Elina and Rafine without complaint.
After all, their lives had gotten much better thanks to the two of them.
Boom!
Dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, followed by a loud clap of thunder that echoed across the area.
Before long, heavy rain began pouring down, soaking the entire town.
