As the time passes by, instead of being excluded from the table, Princess Yggdrasil invited everyone from the Great Southern Wasteland to join her on her table. Naturally the conversations were circled around the topic of their origins, after all, the Princess is rather inquisitive about it as she is clearly fascinated with their story and tales about the wonders of the foreign places. Over the course of time, everyone were getting more and more friendly with each others, Crown Princess Angela Seraphim, didn’t mind the company and even enjoying it, as she can see the cute Princess Yggdrasil, cute acts, and also converse with her old acquaintance.“..So, why do you sisters and brother wanted to meet with Father?..Mother Andrea, said that…our Country never made any contact with your place…is there something bad happening there?..”. (Princess Yggdrasil)Her voice were a little concerned, because in these brief of time, she felt pleased with the representative stories. But she remember of
Like they all were being unconsciously being brought and lead by their nose, the Great Southern Wasteland, who’s just now talking with the Princess Yggdrasil and also Crown Princess Angela Seraphim. Has now got, perhaps something that is much more than they have ever anticipated. Because right after their conversation with Princess Yggdrasil was over, and the princess already left the cafe. They were left, with one of the Princess guards, right where they stand.“It’s Miss Amalinde Stammler, Mister Qekin Rivgog, Miss Lobelia Mudswan and Mister Luth Alantar, correct?..”. (Princess Guard, Knight Mathild Hindergrass)“Ah..yes…yes, Dame Mathild..it was us..”. (Amalinde Stammler)Knight Mathild Hindergrass, is Princess Yggdrasil Head of guard, the entourage leader of the Secret Service unit that incharge of protecting Princess Yggdrasil, her rank is Captain. She were the kind of soldier that were proud of her duty, after all, her Knight values also felt that she deserved to be in such pos
In the brisk of morning, the hopeful views of the Inhabour City that were still under constructions were looking glorious and it was the land of hope, that would soon not only contributed to the advance of Aeternums as a country and perhaps the city that would revolutionize the future of water ways of the entire continent. Yesterday, the entire city were surprised with a great news that the President were here on the city to inspect and also visiting the area. Certainly the morale through out the entire city were high, everyone were happy to catch a glimpse of him, and knowing that their leaders and kings were not just simply sit idly on their throne but actually went down to worked together with them.“Did you hear, last night our supervisor told us that the President has decided to add more workforce onto the building of the Bridge… talking about a timely arrangements…crossing the river with that wobbly boats is quite hard everyday…”. (Town worker Ralph)“I heard right…the administr
On the Bridge and also everywhere in the Inhabour City, as all the workers and soldier that were on the site, all of them were shocked and astound at the previously empty finished docks, has now being filled with all kinds of large ships. And the most striking sight of all, is the 3 Warship that docks mighty and proud, and beside it, were numerous kinds of ships ranging from fast boats, ferries, and then the 3 largest cargo ships that no one in these world have ever sees. Some that have seen that Warship that were used in the Navies knows it, they called it the Mighty Iron Vessel. It is the Navy strongest ships that can went toe to toe with the strongest sea monster, even these far inland, the tales of the Warship Navy battles echoes.“It was like a mighty castle!….it Is much bigger than any ships that I have seen!…it was a floating land!!…”. (Construction workers A)“Dear god..these ships is even bigger than the building that we build….the president were the one that brought all thes
It was fascinating for them to see, these lines up of ships before them. And for sure they also recognized that I also a little bit pleased and delighted by the views of it, and since I know quite a lot than them about the ships, at the same time they also realizes that they Warship that were right in front of them are much more different that the one that is currently being used by the Navy. After all the previous ones is the ships that is of the old models and I just bought them, which were provided illegally. But these time the warship that I bought is of newer models, on top of that, it was bought somewhat legally and it comes with much more ordinance and much more high technology than the others, also it was a little bit taller and bigger.“Well…it is much bigger, faster and much more fiercer than you can ever think of…remember our old Warship…times that ship capability 10 times…”.“.……What?…is that possible?…of course it is, Since Master said so…still the old Warship is alread
Sofia, Radian and Selie once they heard my annunciation about the slight reveal about the New Warship firepower capability. All 3 of them were smiling slightly, now they really understood why I wanted to explore and exploit the Central Continent water way systems, why, it was to further strengthen Aeternum military capacity and bolsters it’s defense. After all, the River system inside of the Aeternum territory is very much unique and very strategically places. First the river were deep enough and also wide enough for all kind of ships to maneuver in all sides without any problems, second, Aeternum Rivers is actually flows throughout the entire nation. What is more that, Aeternum rivers were all connected, from the Agriculture City to the Border of Dukedom of Angela and also the Principality of light, then flow in a curve.I flows in a large curve that conveniently follows the Aeternum borders, from the Inhabour city it flows down, to cover the Entire Shark Region, then enters the Cent
Currently the intake of Refugees recently, has already finished and all of them have been placed and assigned to their designated places. Naturally since I have included in the clause of accepting them wanting to become a citizenship of Aeternum they have to complete the mandatory labour and also mandatory military services. But since Aeternum is pressed on labour shortage at the moment, I decided that all of them will first served in the labour forces first then military later, this suited my plans, after all currently the entire Aeternum military is undergoing a large scale domestic operation and also currently in the state of reorganizations as a lot of new implementation is currently being done, to further bettering the Military.As such, all the refugees has been placed on their work site, with Radian request then, I have to then discussed with Andrea to fulfill her request. Possibly I will have to pick the Agriculture Region site to pull a little bit labour from there and put it
After 30 Minutes of drive from the Inhabour City site, entering the roads heading northwest, we finally arrived at Aeternum Second City, and looking at the way that it has been looking at the moment, it can be said that, Shark Central City can be said as Aeternum second largest city which is following the footsteps of the New City. It was build on the old city that were once under the Monty Family governance under the Alemia Nation, which was once an old and average the same as any other developing city in Fantasma. But under my direct order, the City were being relief of the Monty Family as I have given them another plot of land at the east Shark Region and then , let the City to become the Central Shark City, that is fully owned By the Royal family, which is me. And can only be govern by the elected Governors.I solved the dispute of the land and the city, on top of that settling the issue of other possibly incoming problems. On thing that I hated the most and possibly the easiest m
“That settles it,” said Queen Inariel. “I want one. No—two. One for me, and one for my heir.”There was laughter, yes—but beneath it, genuine interest and burning ambition.These weren’t simply rulers indulging in luxury. They were leaders who understood symbols. In their home countries, where roads were still dirt and carts still squeaked over stone, returning in a Presidential SUV would not merely signify alliance—it would inspire transformation. A visual cue to their people that change had come.Brogath turned to Cassana. “And how do we acquire these… symbols?”Cassana smiled. “Each vehicle is available through our UNA Government Procurement Program. With subsidies for infrastructure partners. If your country commits to hosting an AAM-supported maintenance center, we offer reduced fleet prices.”Prince Thelric’s eyes lit up. “So, we wouldn’t just buy cars. We could build an AAM branch?”“Exactly,” said Cassana. “It’s part of Aeternum’s development outreach.”The implications were e
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
