Prince Amariss signed the deal as soon as he saw my demands, my demand was fairly simple and straight forward. One, Aeternum will be given 3 territories bordering Aeternum (300km2). Two, Aeternum shall be given full tax exclusion for 50 years on any business owned by Aeternum or Aeternum Citizen in the Alemia Nation. Third, Aeternum holds full border access to Alemia Nation. Forth, Alemia Nation were forbidden to enter any war against any country (Except for self-defense)unless we're given permission by Aeternum. Fifth, By no means Alemia Nation can attack Aeternum for 100 years.
Prince Amariss were baffled as to why do I seem to want such an odd request, normally people would want money and woman. Instead, I was asking for policies, he can't wrap his mind as to what I was thinking. In fact, I think fewer people in this would even request the things that I demand. My demand will actually enable me to control Alemia as a puppet without them even knowing, of course, peopleAll the preparations for the Alemia nations alliance were already finished, the spies were also in the Alemia nations, currently sniffing out secrets and information on the targets. Due to this, I have also detected some bad news, that there's a noble army waiting for Prince Amariss to return, Thanks to that, Prince Amariss and his entourage were unable to relay the news to her mother.Of course, this matter was only known by me and my people, The Prince who was in a good mood already started to leave New City, Luckily the Immigrations Department were able to block them and send them to my Black House. Currently, I and the Prince were sitting opposite each other, The Prince were suspicious but only able to wait for me to speak."Prince Amariss, we need to get this Alliance out…"."...Surely, but why?..". (Prince Amariss)Feeling odd, but he doesn't dismiss the idea."Because unfortunately, You and your men were unable to leave
"Although she was a Queen, She was also a woman, a daughter, and most importantly a human…I'm sure if anyone were put in the same situations as her, will result to do the same right?..". (Mr. Paul)Without any restraint, Mr.Paul @ Deejay Skelly tells the story about how the Queen Romella was taken advantage of and how the noble made her look like a tyrant. His revelation has made every single listener, realize the true story about Alemia conflict, and sympathize with the current Queen plight."A few days ago, A diplomatic representative from Alemia nation has come to Aeternum seeking for asylum and help…Our great President has spent a time to have a heartful talk with them…and has taken the opportunity to launch an investigation on their claim..that is how we're able to find out the truth..". (Mr.Paul)All the listeners nodded in agreement as if they agree and approve the brilliant move by the Aeternum President. Everyone in Alem
50 Kilometer from Aeternum Border, Roc Mountain.Baron Kemasia who is a member of Noble Coalition was assigned to lead an ambush on Prince Amariss and his entourage was already waiting on the foothill of the Roc Mountain. A few weeks ago, Noble Coalition who's been busy launching a full-scale war against the Royal crown, has caught the news of Prince Amariss secretly entering the new Kingdom Aeternum seeking for an Alliance, Although the Coalition has sent their men to intercept and assassinate the Prince, the effort was proven to be fruitless until now.As a safety net, Baron Kemasia who is also one of the trusted members of the coalition were sent by the coalition to guarantee the job done. Baron Kemasia did not question the job, he was proud to get such work, the deaths of Prince Amariss will surely be a devastating blow to the Queen Romella as he was the last of her son and heir. Along with his trusted and experienced knights, he waited for
"Sir!!…The Scout got something, there's a caravan heading our way..". (Knight-Captain Jack)Without wasting any time, Jack immediately alerted Baron Kemasia, but instead of directly entering the tent, he just stands near the entrance. He knew the oblivious Baron was deep in his indulgence, and by all means, he never wanted to see the hairy baron in actions."Good, tell our men to capture the Prince alive and bring him here…..and, get that bloody bastard Lucas here to..Ahh…make sure they were alive… want to kill them myself!!…SUCK IT DEEPER YOU WHORE!!..". (Baron Kemasia)Despite Knight-Captain Moss effort to evade witnessing the Baron in the act, the latter simply order one of her whore to pulled the tent blind fully displaying the Baron in the act, as he was giving his order, the baron was having his dick sucked by one of the Young Maiden he kidnaps, the girl was treated roughly by the baron. The sight made Jack fe
1 hour before the {Double Ambush Ops}."Today we will be launching an ambush on the ambush that has been set up for the Prince at the Roc Mountain pass…4 platoon will be divide into 2 places..". ( Major Juliet)In the Airship, the combination of Aeternum Special force and 1st infantry were already en route to Roc Mountain, the field officer for today was Major Juliet. All the soldier currently having their mission brief in the Airship cargo hold."Platoon Alpha and Beta will be dropped at the Roc bridge and set up ambush position inside the jungle on both side of the bridge…I want 1 squad to be the bait, and act as the decoy…the decoy is to proceed slowly, and stop before the bridge to draw out the enemy...if the enemy was detected…As always, eliminate everyone who fights, detained anyone who doesn't..after that secure the position and ready to move out to point B..".(Major Juliet)"YES MADAM!!". (Platoon A &
Aeternum Black House, War Room."Point A secured, hostile subdued..requesting to proceed to point B..". (Platoon A leader)Inside the War Room, all officer was busy fully dedicated to doing their job, Mina, Elijah, and me were silently watching the whole mission under progress. Point A was already fully controlled, no casualties on my soldier, not even injuries, everything was perfect."Platoon Leader, permission granted you are clear to move out…also dragged the bodies and prisoner along with you..". (Major Juliet)"Roger that Judgement..". (Platoon A leader)Of course, there's a prisoner detained, not all the knights on point A fought, they have been caught in a surprising attack, naturally, due to the sheer firepower from Platoon A and B, it was enough to make them get PTSD."Dragon nest, this is Judgement do you copy?..". (Major Juliet)"Judgement this is Dragon nest..proceed cop
Alemia Nation, Alemia Capital City.Alemia Capital city has finally entered it's peaceful and stable state after a long time of silence and defiance from its citizen, all of it thanks to the Aeternum Radio broadcast that has shed the light on the truth of Queen Romella actions. Still, the city was far from safe, as the city itself was under attack by the Noble Coalition several times in the course of the past 6 months, now thanks to the Stampede Months, the invading attacks have slow down but the monster attacks was still a concern.The public views on the current monarchy have change 360 degrees, the citizen has now admired the Queen that they once show hatred for, Queen Romella was different from the previous King and other noble who ruled the nation before, during the time of Stampede Moths she has personally attend the wall to personally battled the stampede that attacks the wall of Alemia capital city.Just after the siege battl
Alemia Capital City, Alemia Castle.After the Prince has safely arrived unharmed to the capital city, the previous palpable tension atmosphere in the castle was lessened. Everyone was happy and in a festive mood, to them who have tasted defeat so many times, just the safety of their prince was already qualified to be celebrated. A small celebration dinner was hosted by the Queen inside the castle, she invited all the noble that supported her and the guest of Honor Director Mot."Today we celebrate the arrival of my precious Crown Prince..also the Successful collaboration with Aeternum!!..Cheerrss!!!…". (Queen Romella)Happily presented her toast to the whole room."Cheerrss!!..".(Nobles)Her good mood was shared among her avid supporter, though the environment was definitely merry, the attendee was merely in 2 digits number. Unlike the whole crowd, Director Mot who originally a
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
