The Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein moves to let the Aeternum or in these case, the International Alliance Conference and also the Aeternum Associations, to be the one that were investigating the whole thing, and also providing the solid case against not only the Guilds but also the opposing nobles, is actually a plans that were suggested to her by The Aeternum President right after the Conference ended. Actually at the meeting when the motion regarding spreading the Associations to all the allied nation were made, the reason as to why the Queen Duchess immediately agreed to the motion and also seems to be visibly angered at that time, is because Aeternum has provided her with the situations that is concerning the safety on the entire Dukedom.On that files that she received in that meeting, the content of it were shown all the Guilds secrets operations these entire time, and just how the guilds has been secretly helping and the nobles are also paying the same help to the guilds to ens
Despite the sudden changed of the 3 Guild master expression to the doomed of their fates as Aeternum top figures walks into the Court and just ruined their plans, without them able to say a single words of retort. At the same time, the entire court were also took by the storms as Director Mot went ahead and also unmasked all the opposing nobles factions it her findings. Which undeniably enable the Queen Duchess and also Crown Princess Angela to instantly took the opportunity to punished them as well. Everything just happened so fast, for all the members of the court to keep tracked of what is currently transpiring before their eyes.But ultimately they all knows that The cases that Director Mot and Aeternums Justice Department made against the Guilds and also the opposing nobles were all true, and it was all backed with irrefutable evidence and solid cases. So instead they were taken aback by Director Mot affluent words and presentation through out the cases, and find themselves to ju
Whilst all over the Alliance nation is undergoing a huge waves of changes, now that they have all agreed to apply and wanted to live following the progress tracks that Aeternum has let them all to use. At the Great Southern Wasteland, the situations were a little bit difference because on the contrary expectation that the wasteland will be more manageable for the Aeternum forces, surprisingly it was a little bit to chaotic at the moment. Because currently, the Expedition Division is still in the midst of an intense war against the hordes of Wild Monsters that lived in the Wasteland.Currently, the only person incharge of the entire operation on the scene is Colonel Alessia Di Gianna, as she were with the first of the 2 batch groups that were supposed to be here. Her task is to lead the the Eternal Nights Divisions of her’s to secure the site that were given to the Aeternum by the 4 Representative and set up the perimeter to established the forward operation base. Before the second ba
Ever since the Aeternum Expedition Division touched down at the Wasteland, The 4 young representatives were able to get back to their territories for a few hours, enough for them to go back and report the results of their negotiations to their settlements. Naturally it was great and happy occasion for them, because not only the negotiations were positives but Aeternum forces is already with them. All 4 of them didn’t let the Aeternum forces alone for too long as they all come back to the base after a few hours, with a team of 5 for each of them.But before anything can be discussed or they can even make a welcoming gestures for the Aeternum people that come to these Wasteland with them. The Wild Monster Stampede happened, leaving them stuck without any chances to go away to safety or even doing anything. Naturally, they didn’t want to abandoned the Aeternum forces, as doing so, will reflected negatively on them, so instead they joined Aeternum soldiers on defending the base. All 4 of
Just as the annoucement ended, the entire sky were darkened, what all saw it seems that it was about to be rain that is coming down, instead it was a downpour of Cherry petals, but unlike it’s beautiful appearances. The petals were very deadly. All over the base, the seemingly calm and slow petals that slowly descending to the ground, just suddenly just speeds up and started to cuts everything that it passes through. Nearly all the monsters that were in the 100 meters of the base were killed, riddled with holes all over their tops. For 10 seconds only, the entire areas were filled with wailing monsters screams and howls.To the Representative that took the chances to stands up and run to the upper wall, to take a look at the current situations, they were shocked to see that a single moves from the Aeternum President that as of now, doesn’t even shows his face yet, already cause so much devastation. Their mouth were gaped in shocked even more as on all of the base sides, were then drop
In just 30 minutes, the entire base area were already peaceful, devoid of any monsters aside from the carcasses. As of right now all the base personnel of the first batch already safely went to their long awaited rest and recovery, as the Second batches personnel went off and took over all the works that were left behind by the first batch. So the works continues on, as for the representatives, although they wanted to go an welcomed the President, instead they were told to also take a rest in their designated areas. Which they were more than agreed upon when they were provided with the choice, after all, they too were exhausted by the constant actions.Aeternum soldiers and the Resource Staff that comes in the second batches are now divided into 2 large squads, one was to finished the base out line and second team was to collect and process all the Wild Monster carcasses at once. Luckily all the Airship were being grounded by the president order for now, because to many surprises whic
It was a warm and sunny day, in the Great Southern Wasteland today. To be honest, I thought that it would be looking more grim than what currently I am seeing at the moment. Sure the overall environment of the wasteland, is barren, the situations of the entire scenery looks and felt like the Grand Canyon on earth, it was looking almost like a desert but not yet. Also rather than the temperature looks like it would be high to the point where you can just cooked an egg with the sun. It is actually not that hot, rather it was only slightly above the usually temperatures at Aeternum.The scenery have some greenery on them, there were a little bit of green forest here and there. And there is also all kinds of colour of fauna here, even the trees quite a lot of them were not at all green, in fact there were colorful, be it red, yellow or even purple. Naturally trees with abnormal colour such as these were considered rare and sought after resource that will be very popular in the carpenter
“We visited the Antfolis City, Stammler City, then to Mud Town and Half Stone City, ultimately we started from the North side of our base…circle down to our south..that is the general directions of all 4 of those settlements from our base…it was safe to say that Aeternum Land in the Wasteland, isn’t sandwich between all of them…we are situated a little bit far on their right side….”. (Sergeant Miguel)“I see…that explained why on the way here…I were able to catch a glimpse of those Stammler City…Still, I don’t really supposed that we aren’t surrounded by other settlements…in the next few days, we need to send scouts to starts maps out our surrounding…”.“That’s right, Master…I already deployed 2 team to our south and west side of our base…it’s just a 3 hours mission for each team…it should be enough to secure at least 3 kilometers of our perimeters…”. (Colonel Yvone)I nodded at Yvone timely and considerate planning to arrange teams for scouting at these time. Currently we are having
“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
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
