On this particular day, the town was bustling with activity. The several buildings that had been built for the past few weeks had finally been finished and an institute had been opened.

Hope Institute was like the new order, no one has ever seen something like this before and the appearance of such a place was quite shocking and just like its name, it ignited the lost hope in all people.
This day was very special, the place was going to officially open and start operating. And the owner of this institution, the lady boss of the shop, ’THE RISEN PHOENIX’ which happens to be in the Dark Forest was hosting a huge feast and she invited everyone to come and celebrate.
They just didn’t understand just how much money this person has to afford such a huge feast but it didn’t matter, for to them getting food for free was of great importance.
Alayna had prepared greatly, to accommodate everyone, she had bought large quantities of everything including meat. The staff and some few friends’ servants had been busy cooking from morning till evening and it was quite a tiring effort.
Alayna managed to fill in all of the children’s rooms with kids from the age of three to ten. As in this world, kids over ten can be considered adults and can work to earn money, she didn’t see the need to save them.
Of course, they can come to get some food or run some errands to earn their food but she didn’t need to accommodate them fully. She wasn’t going to keep all the kids in the future as she was going to adopt the modern orphanage approach.
As long as there is a good person out there, she was going to let them adopt the children. She didn’t want them to grow up without having a sense of belonging.
If someone out there can adopt them as children, she will be very glad but the children must be fond of the people as well. when they are grown up, she will see what to do with them.
As for the elderly, she found around twenty that were homeless and didn’t have any families to go to. And fifteen of them were still capable of doing something, so she was planning on letting them bring some value to the organization rather than being taken care of.
Everyone finally gathered and the place was crowded with a lot of people. Alayna couldn’t help but sigh as she lamented her overexcitement that made her issue an open invitation like this.
If she had known that people will come in multitudes like this, she would have sent invitation cards to a few people.
Looking at the people gathered, she straightened out the gown she had specifically had the dressmaker make for her. tired of wearing the old and ugly designs, she sketched her own and sold the design to the dressmaker.
She was wearing a white dress with red flowers, it looked very festive and beautiful. People couldn’t help but wow when they saw her dressed like this.
[Damn, that dress is very beautiful.]
[Where did she buy it from?]
Alayna wasn’t a shy person so standing in front of the crowd with a smile on her face she began to talk using a megaphone she had also made to allow everyone to hear her perfectly.
"First of all, I just want to say thank you for gracing this institute with your presence. It’s been a lot of hard work for this place to be finally finished and seeing it this way, I am very happy.
Hope Institute is an organization that is aimed at helping the kids and the elderly. You can consider it as an orphanage and an old people’s home. There are several people out there who don’t have a place to call home, no food to eat, and are always begging for survival. Instead of letting them starve to death out there, I thought of accommodating them in this place.
This place requires a lot of resources and this can’t be solely done by me. These kids and elderlies are just like our own families and they need our help. So today I want to implore you that if you have anything in your house that you can’t use, don’t hesitate to come and donate.
There is someone out there who wants your help. It doesn’t have to be money; all they need is just some love and those things you find unnecessary. So please if you have anything, don’t hesitate to give me a helping hand.
Today is a happy day, let’s all eat and celebrate," Alayna made her speech with a smile on her face, illuminating everyone in the crowd.
The crowd gave her a round of applause and those that were lucky enough to have been adopted by the institute were shedding tears of joy. They were very happy to have been given a place to stay and food to eat.
The celebrations were very simple, everyone received a plate and the food began to get served.
Alayna was currently sitting with the town’s mayor she had personally invited. This man was not a corrupt one at least, she could see his clear eyes and she could tell that he had been doing his best to help those that needed help.
The man even donated a few things to the institute and she was very grateful for that. He even lowered the tax that she was supposed to pay to the government and this was good news.
Although the tax wasn’t much but it was better if that money was spent on those that needed it the most.
"But how did you even think of this?" Mayor Hobson asked as he looked at this beautiful place with shock.
He had seen the place before but seeing it again, he just kept on getting shocked that it became a norm.
"Do you want the truth or the lies, mayor?" she chuckled as she looked at the man.
"The truth, give me the truth," Mayor Hobson answered with a faint smile on his face.
"It’s very simple actually, one day I left to find if there is a place that I can donate some vegetables that I bought previously. They were too many and I couldn’t finish them.
It was on that day that I saw how horrible life was for others and the angel in me wanted to help. I even thought of donating some money, clothes and many others but when I thought of how those things can be pocketed by some greedy individuals, I decided to just build my own institute and help those in need in my own way.
At least this way I don’t need to worry about my money or the donated ones being taken by others. I may be able to save a few people but at least I can provide a place that they can call home. It’s pointless to hoard a lot of money when you can’t even finish using it.
As human beings we should learn to help a little, maybe the heavens will take pity on us and grant us some heavenly blessings," Alayna sweetly narrated as she looked at the man.
At this stage, it wasn’t the mayor who was listening but several nobles were also listening.
"Alas, I have learnt a lot from you. I guess I should do some good deeds from now on," the mayor nodded his head with a smile on his face.
"You will see that as long as you help even one person your life will move very smoothly and even sicknesses will flee from you, hahaha," she chuckled as she spoke.
Of course, these were lessons she learnt after being a bad person in her first life, if she had done some good things, she would have transmigrated as a better person and suffered less.
It took hours for everyone to eat the food and for the pots to be emptied. There was singing and dancing, everyone was having a lot of fun.
The celebrations lasted until midnight and everyone finally separated. Those with carriages left on them and for those who walked could only walk in groups going back home.
Alayna and Elena were escorted back to the forest by the carriage driver that they hired early in the morning. That night everyone slept like a baby.
The next day, the news spread about the institute so far that its popularity became widely known and the news ended up in the famous royal city.
Without herself knowing, Alayna attracted the royal family and they were very curious about her. She was just doing a good deed and didn’t want any trouble for herself.
Ciliren news firm printed a lot of newspapers and those who haven’t heard about the institute heard about it and they all wanted to see this place and meet this awesome person.
As for Alayna, she was currently in a daze as she looked at the beautiful rainbow flashing right in front of her eyes.
