The night sky over Valencia was alive with stars, twinkling like diamonds scattered across a velvet canvas. In the heart of the city, the royal garden was transformed into a spectacle of lights, casting a magical glow that danced on the faces of the gathered crowd. The scent of blooming flowers and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze added to the enchantment of the evening.
As the moon hung low, a hushed anticipation settled over the garden. Lord Wolcott, Adelyn, and Richmond stood among the guests, their eyes fixed on the horizon. Castiel, wearing an attire befitting the grandeur of the occasion, stepped forward, commanding the attention of every onlooker. His voice, steady and confident, cut through the night air.
"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests and beloved citizens of Xander," he began, his eyes alight with passion, "Tonight, I stand before you to unveil a marvel – a symbol of progress, ingenuity, and the limitless potential of magic harnessed for the betterment of our world."
A collective murmur of excitement rippled through the crowd. Castiel raised his hand, and in that instant, the garden plunged into darkness. Gasps of surprise filled the air. Then, slowly, the darkness was banished, replaced by a soft, radiant glow that emanated from every corner of the garden.
The assembled nobles and dignitaries marveled as new LED lights, powered by the Arc Reactor, illuminated the garden with a gentle, energy-efficient brilliance. Flowers in vibrant hues, trees swaying in the wind, and the faces of the people present were bathed in a harmonious symphony of colors.
Castiel's eyes sparkled with pride as he gestured toward the cityscape beyond the garden's edge. "Behold, not just a garden transformed, but an entire city reborn," he announced. The guests turned their gazes, and their expressions filled with awe and wonder.
In the distance, the city of Valencia glittered like a jewel. Streets, buildings, and homes were now adorned with LED lights, casting a warm, steady glow that dispelled the shadows of the night. The city seemed to breathe with newfound life, embracing the future that had dawned upon Xander.
"I present to you the future of our nation," Castiel proclaimed, his voice carrying the weight of his vision. "Clean, sustainable energy that lights our homes, fuels our dreams, and propels us into an era of boundless possibilities. This is the power of the Arc Reactor, a beacon guiding us toward a brighter tomorrow."
The crowd erupted into applause, their hands coming together in thunderous acknowledgment of Castiel's achievement. Lord Wolcott, Adelyn, and even Richmond, though begrudgingly, joined in the ovation.
Castiel couldn't contain his excitement. The unveiling of the arc reactor was supposed to be a month away. But, he couldn't resist the urge to rub it in the face of the Troca Union's delegations, wanting to make them realize that their days of exploiting Xander were numbered. He has been planning this since the day he learned of the impending visit of the Troca Union's representatives.
As the applause gradually subsided, the guests couldn't contain their excitement and curiosity. Whispers and exclamations filled the air as they exchanged astonished glances, their faces illuminated by the soft LED lights. Lord Wolcott, his usual composed demeanor shaken, turned to Castiel with an expression of sheer amazement.
"Your Highness, this is beyond extraordinary!" he exclaimed, his voice tinged with awe. "I've never seen anything like it."
Adelyn, too, was entranced, her eyes wide with wonder. "It's as if the entire city has come to life," she breathed, her voice filled with admiration.
Richmond, though still stubbornly silent, wore an expression that hinted at begrudging acknowledgment. The sight before him was undeniable proof of Castiel's genius, and for a moment, even he was caught in the enchantment of the illuminated city.

The foreign dignitaries and ambassadors stood in awe, their minds racing with the implications of this revolutionary technology. Whispers in various languages floated through the air, expressing amazement and intrigue.
The Beastmen envoys, in particular, were deeply moved. Their eyes, accustomed to the vast expanses of wilderness, now beheld a city aglow with ethereal light. Sir Lugar Wolfram, the Werewolf leader, stepped forward, his voice a low growl softened by genuine admiration. "This is a testament to the brilliance of Xander," he said, his tone resonating with respect. "A new era has dawned upon us."
Even the Queen, who had watched the unveiling with a quiet smile, approached Castiel. "My dear," she said, her eyes twinkling with pride, "you have brought magic and innovation together in a way none of us could have imagined. Xander will be remembered for this moment. YOU will be remembered for this moment."
Castiel, humbled by the reactions of those around him, nodded graciously. "Thank you, mother. But this is only the beginning. With the Arc Reactor, we will continue to achieve marvels that defy the limits of imagination."
The atmosphere in the garden was charged with an electric sense of possibility. As the night wore on, the guests mingled under the radiant lights, their conversations filled with excitement for the future. Ideas and collaborations were sparked, alliances formed, and, amidst the glow of innovation, a shared vision of progress united them all.

The unveiling of the Arc Reactor had set the stage for a new age – one defined by innovation, unity, and the boundless potential of magic and technology combined.
Under the resplendent glow of the LED-lit garden, Minister Iliana D'Fleur seized the moment to unveil Xander's groundbreaking new currency system. The air was charged with anticipation as the elegant and composed minister stepped forward, holding a small, ornate box in her hands. The crowd fell silent, their curiosity piqued.
"Ladies and gentlemen, esteemed guests," Iliana began, her voice carrying across the garden like a melodious tune, "tonight, we embark also on another new chapter in Xander's history. We are introducing a revolutionary currency system that reflects our nation's commitment to progress, innovation, and security."
With a graceful gesture, she opened the box, revealing the newly minted Xanderian coins and notes, each intricately designed and infused with magical enchantments that shimmered in the ambient light.
"These coins," Iliana explained, lifting a stainless steel coin, "forged from enchanted stainless steel, possess an unmatched resilience. They are a testament to our technological expertise and commitment to quality. Counterfeiting them is a feat beyond the realm of possibility."
She then turned her attention to the paper notes, showcasing them for everyone to see. "Our paper currency, embedded with powerful enchantments, ensures absolute authenticity. Any attempt to duplicate these notes will be met with failure, for the magic woven into them reveals the truth."
The guests, including the Troca Union representatives, watched in awe. Lord Wolcott, his eyes reflecting admiration, approached Iliana to inspect the new currency. "Minister D'Fleur, this is a marvel. Your nation's ingenuity knows no bounds. I am genuinely impressed."
Richmond, though initially skeptical, found himself captivated by the exquisite craftsmanship of the currency. He exchanged a glance with Adelyn, both realizing the historical significance of the moment.
Iliana continued, her voice resonating with unwavering determination, "With this new currency system, we are forging a path towards stability, transparency, and prosperity. Xander extends an invitation to nations across the globe to join us in this innovative endeavor, ushering in an era of secure trade."
The crowd murmured in approval and excitement. Iliana's eloquence and the tangible proof before them had instilled confidence. As the evening progressed, discussions about the new currency system buzzed through the garden, intertwining with the enchantment of the LED-lit cityscape.
In that magical garden, beneath the radiant lights, Minister Iliana D'Fleur had not only introduced a transformative financial system but had also painted a vision of Xander as a beacon of progress, inviting the world to share in the brilliance of their innovation.
