Park Eun Ji isn’t all that suspicious at all. In fact she is a rather normal employee of Virtue Financial, like any employee of Virtue Financial, those that were abnormally talented or highly competent individuals, all of them that join Virtue Financial have their own story. And her in particular, is probably one of the many cases where the second she enters Virtue Financial, her loyalty is unshakable, the kind of people that wholeheartedly believed in Virtue Financial and worshiped it like some kind of a miracle. The other type of employee, is just the normal kind of employee, and another were spies, that was about it when it comes to Virtue Financial employee type.“Seeing you making a full recovery like these…Kinda sooth my heart a little bit…the last time I say you…you were all wrapped up in bandages like mummy…on top of that…those cancer…at what stage is it again?..”.“Stage 3, Breast Cancer, Sir….I can’t believe you still remember me…I…look really different back then…”. (Park Eu
“Hearing that my casual remarks actually sparks the life out of you…I guess that’s great enough…By the way…did Risk Management recently made a make over?…The place looks nice…”.As we finally stepped into the Risk Management Department Offices, I realizes that the decorations and even the entire looks were all different now, if before the main color were all black and dark, right now, everything is white in color, sophisticated and elegant to put it simply. Then again it fit the theme after all they were no longer a secret existence that they had to hide from everyone and me.“Well, they received billions of dollars of budget from you…it’s given that Director Choi Jin Su would change the theme….”. (Park Zuo Yung)Park Zuo Yung remarks is given, naturally the budgets that almost seems endless contributes to the changes. I don’t really mind about the cosmetics, the result is much more important to me. As we in the long Hallway, right at the receptions desk leading to the office, behind
One thing led to another, Park Eun Ji never once thought in her entire life that she would be in these kind of a situations.Currently she were in the arms of President Mies Sai, her fall wasn’t all hurt at all, instead it looks rather romantic, it looks like a scene coming out of romantic drama. She was being held in a princess carry style in the arms of President Mies, in front of everyone that she knows in her department. She was looking like a docile princess right now, she were stunned and all that she can do, out of reflex at the moment and right now has stayed that way, was both of her hand were around president Mies Sai neck, and her face buried on his chest.“WELCOME, PRESIDENT MIES!!…”. (Director Choi Jin Su & all)In unison, as everyone sees the person that clearly the one who responsible for asking that they portrait to be removed were standing before all of them. Led by Choi Jin Su, everyone greeted him in unison, respectfully bowing at 45 degrees, clearly ignoring the cur
“Risk Management Department, has already make sure that nothing will be able to be alter from the plans that we have devised…For all of the candidates that we were supporting…currently all of them as been safely proceeding to the second phase of the plans…So far, for the Unified Youth Party…all 3 of our candidates is leading the approval ratings by 89%…leaving all the other rivals behind…”. (Kim Yeon Seo)I can say for sure that everything has been proceeding smoothly the entire time these plans has been operational. Choi Jin Su leadership and expertise on these kind of matters, is rather impressive, almost reaching the standard of T.A.S and myself planning. Her moves is practical, logical and precise.“..How about the media social and internet side?…do we have control on that side too?…”.“Yes we did…our Specialist has been monitoring everything, regarding anything that related to our candidates….any sort of rumour, allegations, scandals…were removed as soon as it was posted…on top o
“.….Wait..What?…So all these is because love between, Park Yung Tae and Kim Hyun Nee?..Can..that actually happened?…I mean..isn’t there some other realistic reason other than love?..”. (Park Min Su)Park Min Su wasn’t the only person in these room that also have the same thought as him. After all these is a real life situation would someone really willing to go that far for love and emotions. On top of that when both me and Choi Jin Su were speaking of it on the same wavelength that is making everyone even more confused.“No other reason really?…often times..emotions makes every person moved…some more than others…emotions is a strong motivations…Love?…it can even make you kill someone without blinking an eye…”.“What President Mies said..is true…her emotion is genuine and so does the boy..Sometimes…things are just that simple….”. (Choi Jin Su)“Woah…really…that’s…just…”. (Park Min Su)Park Min Su were speechless right now, and everybody in the room also feel the same, at these point,
The atmosphere inside the meeting room has somewhat changed from a rather chaotic one, to now seems to be a little bit more relax, perhaps from the start everyone never really felt the oppressing vibes that usually happened when they meet me. To be honest, the last time that we all meet, there would usually be Catherine or Ran Hyun Ok beside me, and I rarely talk too much, hence the feeling of facing against the big bosses were rather tense, but right now, I am giving out the rather chill vibes so everyone can easily let out their true self before me and giving out opinion normally.“So are you meeting with Park Kyun Tae today, Sir?..”. (Choi Jin Su)“That’s the plan…”.“But how are you going to do that?..that guy is nowhere to be found…and Candidate Kim Hyun Nee never disclosed his locations to us…even we can’t figure out where she hide him..”. (Kim Yeon Seo)“Hmm?…Oh that…well, I just have to find him..that’s all…just like did with most stuff like these…Sometimes, finding someone…i
“Are we trying to buy a satellite?..I heard about that from Madam Catherine before…”. (Choi Jin Su)“Hmm…everyone denies to sell it to us…that’s just annoyed me…thus, I decided to just makes it on my own…while on it, I kinda wanted to just tries to get to mars…but Catherine were vehemently against that idea…So, I just let her sought out the buying of Satellites then…she was afraid that I might build a spaceship if were to continues with the satellite building..”.“.…….I can see that you were going to make a spaceship when you wanted to just build a satellite…I can already imagined it..”. (Park Zuo Yung)Everyone else were speechless as they heard me talking about the spaceship. For some reason they didn’t doubt it at all, that I am willing to go that far. On the other hand Park Zuo Yung and Choi Jin Su were visibly relief that Catherine were there to stop me on my tracks. I mean what’s wrong with building a spaceship when you were already building a satellites already.“Now..Albert,
In the Risk Management Department office, the Director Meeting room, Daniel Park, Park Min, Kim Yeon Seo and Stephanie Lee who is the new additions to the Risk Management Department Executives of Staff and also Secretary to Choi Jin Su. Felt as if they just got hit by a tornado, the unpredicted visit from the President of the company shocked everyone in the office and even scared them quite a lot. The presence of President Mies completely caught everyone off guard, even now after he left, they were still trying to processed what really just happened.“I’ve seen the President looks before…but seeing him up close…he is really a stunning person, Right Miss Kim Yeon Seo..”. (Stephanie Lee)“Enm…he is definitely a handsome man…no matter how many time I see him…I can’t never get used to him…Also, I can’t believe that just happened…I thought that we were in for some severe dressed down…but the entire time…he just looks as if he doesn’t really give much care..”. (Kim Yeon Seo)Appearance talk
Mrs. Jamey blinked. “Pardon?”The Queen’s proposal was gentle but clear. “Our kingdom—Lirya—is small, yes. But we have abundant cotton, some of the finest silk-spinning traditions in our mountain region, and a rising population of tailors looking for stable work. Nicole’s… would be cherished there.”It wasn’t long before other leaders joined the conversation. Prince Thelric spoke of his nation’s dye-producing forests. A dwarven delegate mentioned an offer to help forge enchanted weaving machines. Everyone wanted to be the first to secure Nicole’s expansion.Mr. Jamey chuckled, both overwhelmed and humbled. “We always thought expansion meant bigger cities in Aeternum. But… I suppose we’ve been looking too closely. Nicole’s could mean something far more if we carry her name into the world.”By the time the sun began to set, the Jameys had exchanged contact crystals with six different representatives. Nicole’s might soon go international.And Nicole’s was just the beginning. Across New C
“It is said that if knowledge was water,” said their guide, a half-elf librarian named Vestra, “then Aeternum’s library is the ocean.”In a grand central chamber, they passed under a dome showing a starmap that changed with real-time sky positions. Every known nation had a section—yes, even the smallest and poorest. Aeternum had made it a point of pride to gather the history of every people in the continent, even those now forgotten by time.“This is… our old crest,” Queen Inariel whispered, her fingertips trembling as she reached toward an illuminated tome. “From three centuries ago… when our land was still one forest, before the wars divided it…”“We thought this was lost,” murmured Thelric as he came upon a scroll written in his kingdom’s ancient language, long dead and unspoken.Their tour grew quiet. There was no mocking here, no pompous declarations of Aeternum’s superiority. Only quiet reverence. A nation this strong, this secure, chose to preserve—not dominate. It guarded the
A knock at the door interrupted the quiet hum.It was Director Kwak Lum, again dressed in his signature dark blue robes, his draconic features smiling as he entered.“Honored guests,” he said, bowing respectfully. “Allow me to welcome you, on behalf of the Aeternum Crown and President Mies Sai. You are the first stars to light the Summit’s sky, and we are honored by your presence.”The gathered leaders rose and bowed in return.“We will ensure your time here is not just comfortable,” Kwak Lum continued, “but fruitful. Tours of the city have been arranged. Economic delegates will arrive within days for pre-summit discussions. And the Four-Leaf’s hot springs are now fully prepared—though I dare say our chefs may be the true stars of the Resort.”Laughter rippled through the room.As Kwak Lum left, Queen Inariel turned to the others. “Let them come in airships. Let them come with fanfare and marching bands. We came with purpose.”“And humility,” Brogath added.“Let’s make sure the world
Ambassador Roland cleared his throat. “Director Kwak… if I may speak freely?”“Always, Ambassador Roland.”He stood, brushing a hand across his waistcoat. “We are humbled. To house our people in such a place… it is more than any of us expected. We… we feared being seen as the weaker voices among the UNA.”Kwak Lum’s smile broadened, his eyes gleaming like starlight. “We do not see you as weak. We see you as family.”The moment lingered in silence, the kind that needs no words. Roland sat down; cheeks slightly flushed but heart a little lighter.Outside, beyond the floor-to-ceiling window, the sprawling city continued its dance of preparation. Massive floral displays were being installed at the roundabout leading to the Summit Plaza. Colorful banners were raised in quick succession, displaying the names of each arriving nation. Already, the delegation from the Dukedom of Angela had arrived in a train of shimmering glass carriages. The Republic of Telvinia’s airship hovered just beyond
“Attention citizens of the Free Nation,” a cheerful voice echoed across cobblestone streets, “this is an international broadcast. In four weeks’, time, the UNA Summit will commence in New City, Aeternum. Thirty-one proud nations will stand together under one flag of progress, cooperation, and shared security. We celebrate an era of peace—an age of unity…”The words echoed like thunder in the council chamber.Outside, people paused to listen. While many among the elite scowled and turned away, others in the lower districts paused, curious. Some even smiled. The promise of unity, safety, and growth was seductive—especially to the common folk, burdened by Triangle Guild’s centuries of unchecked power and exorbitant fees.Kennedy noticed it. “Look at them… even our own people are considering it.”“They’re weak,” Carn muttered. “They don’t understand what’s at stake.”Alphonse’s brow furrowed. “Or maybe they do. Maybe they’re tired of being bled dry by guild taxes and levies. Aeternum gave
In New City, President Kaiser Mies Sai met with his advisors. The room buzzed with discussions about the upcoming summit and the potential threats from dissenting nations.Advisor Elena: "Mr. President, intelligence reports suggest increased propaganda from the Principality. They aim to discredit the summit and our initiatives."President Mies: "We anticipated resistance. Our focus remains on unity and progress. Let their words be drowned by the chorus of cooperation and shared prosperity."The President's resolve was clear. The UNA would not be deterred by the dissent of those clinging to outdated and oppressive ideologies.As the summit drew nearer, the world watched with bated breath. Supporters of the UNA saw it as a beacon of hope and collaboration, while detractors viewed it as a threat to their traditional power structures.In the Principality of Light, the Church intensified its rhetoric, urging its followers to resist the UNA's influence. Yet, whispers of dissent emerged even
The Ministry of Infrastructure has begun preparations to reroute major traffic corridors to accommodate the anticipated diplomatic convoys and foreign delegates. The Ministry of Culture is also curating a week-long cultural exposition to showcase Aeternum’s diversity and progress.President Mies’ spokesperson confirmed that multiple major policy announcements are expected during the summit’s plenary sessions, including topics rumored to include:Official designation of the Aeternum Credit as the UNA’s preferred trade currency. Establishment of the UNA Education Oversight Bureau. Expansion of continental transport infrastructure, and. Strengthened defense cooperation under UNA guidelinesNo foreign media has yet been granted interview access to the President ahead of the summit, but sources within the Black House suggest the upcoming event is being viewed as “a generational turning point.”"The world is watching. The people are ready. And in five weeks’ time, New City will become more
Aeternum would continue to offer education, security, and infrastructure assistance—but always in a way that ensured we maintained our lead.We would teach them how to build schools, but we would own the publishing rights to the most advanced textbooks. We would help them create local militias, but they would still call for Aeternum troops when true threats loomed.We would help them modernize, industrialize, prosper—but they would know, always know, that Aeternum had already blazed the trail further ahead. I didn’t want vassals. I wanted allies who could never quite catch up—because they didn’t need to. They needed us to lead.I rose from my chair and walked toward the window. New City stretched into the horizon, its shining towers and clean streets proof of what discipline and vision could achieve.If left alone, the world would fall back into darkness. If left to their own devices, these medieval kings and nobles would tear each other apart again. The future needed guardians. The U
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
