The bandits, whether they were own apart of the nobles force or just an average bandits in the Southern Alemia region, are always attracted to Aeternum Navy convoy no matter what. Because it didn’t take too much intellect to know that with just the Seafood’s product alone, as soon as any of them got their hands on it, it was an instant rich for anyone, not to mention the multitude of products and raw materials that were now transported in a large capacity using the ships. Everyone knows just how wealthy Aeternum Navy Convoy is, because no matter how many times the convoy passed through the territory, the ships always without any fails, managed to pays the tolls every single time.I always mandated for any Aeternum owned convoy, to pay respect to the local rules and customs, although is was annoying and burdensome to do so, these kind of things can’t be avoided at all, after all, we are passing through their territories. Then again, the reason as to why the bandits knows just how rich
In the scenario of wanting to have more impact, there should be a main focus in the plan, to make everyone can’t help but being worried and concerned. To start the support everyone needs to be concerned about the matter in the first place. So if we managed to sparks that concerns then everything will just start moving from there, therefore who in Aeternum that has a lot of public influence than me. This is why I decided that I have to be in that ships that would be attacked and also reported in the scene of the news to make more impact, when that happened I am sure that no matter how stubborn people were, they have to send their support one way or another. But naturally, putting myself in a risk, is something that no one wanted me to do.“.…I don’t think that you being there, yourself…isn’t necessary at all…someone can be there…Bina, Mina or me can simply replaced you…and I am sure people will react the same way as you wanted…Sire..”.(Vice President Elijah)“I seconded, Vice President
Finally the end agreed decision for everyone to agreed with my participation, is that Bina and Duchess Kolarova, along side with 100 soldiers each being ready in secrets was agreed upon and it was the conditions for me being in the actions, Although I am pretty much sure that such things isn’t needed for my safety all, but since these arrangement were the only way that they can let it go, I might as well went along with it. Now naturally all that is left, is to spread the news, about the incoming Aeternum convoy and also the news about the first Aeternum Live Holographic news, by now I am sure that everyone surely in need of a new type of entertainments.The Holographic broadcast, is just the same as a Television broadcast, it just that compared to a Television that powered by electronic mass communication medium, the Holographic Broadcast, is using all magic and mana, which is to be honest, compared to the early era of broadcasting, the quality of Holographic magic broadcasting, usi
As soon as we sat down in My office in the Broadcasting Centre, I naturally elaborate the entire plans to Paul, letting him know about this is not at all a problem, one thing about Paul, although he is a celebrity and a DJ radio, he is a person that is capable to keep a secret, also the fact that he is signed a loyalty contract with me that lasted for m lifetime, that alone is a big insurance that he will never the a cause to a leaked information, because the contract will then took his life, it was a contract of life and death that he signed by himself. Beside this guy will be the one that will be operating the Broadcast in the background so he needs to know the details even if anyone doesn’t.“Boss man…don’t you think it was a bit risky?…I mean I know that you were the most suitable person for the job…but you are our King…if we lose you..then Aeternum would be nothing…”.(Paul)“Anything is risky, Paul…but what can we do…this is the optimal choice…”.“Well, anything you say, Boss Man
“Really?!…my lord has become an Aeternum Governor?!…the third Aeternum Governor?!..”.(Viscount Crisp Tackle)The stunned reactions, coming from Duke Oliver Gust most loyal retainer, weren’t just exclusive to just him, but also the rest of the people in the room.“Yes, I am!…I were recommended by, our Family Friend, Governess Countess Jelina, supported by the 1st governess Queen Aqeesha Eloesa…and then also supported by the 5 Ministers!…and ultimately, I were appointed as Aeternum Noble, and also an Unofficial Governor ranks!…not only that, His Highness The President also, granted not just me, but my entire family, and also all of my trusted vassal, be granted the Aeternum Citizenship!…Also, look at this, this is a Governor Token, it is something that were only given to the Aeternum Governor..”.(Duke Oliver Gust)Everyone were still on the verge of disbelief, sure they all know that the Duke isn’t a liar, but for a major stuff like this. Everyone needs a time to absorb the shocking tru
Nevertheless, it was a happy celebration for the Gust Family today, with everything has been explained by the Duke about his appointment and also their exciting schedule for tomorrow where all of them will be registering their citizenship at the Immigration office, which is something that all of them has been dreaming to do so from the beginning of their passion for Aeternum. Finally after a brief dinner that everyone attended and they celebrated enough for the day, it was time for them all to discussed the serious thing that he was already been given explanation to.Everyone understood by now, that Aeternum is really are true to their values and words, they all know that Aeternum has stopped supporting and catering to the Alemia Nation demands and it has been going for half a year now, and the effects is devastating. So when they now know that Aeternum will be helping them, for sure there must be a price to pay for such actions. Duke Oliver and his entire family and vassal are not na
Emotion and grievance were high inside of the Duke Oliver Gust mansion right now. Because now they know the price that they have to pay, for them to make their country become better for everyone.“...At the end…..the only way for Alemia to change..and for our people….we have to destroyed it with our own hands, ourselves….”.(Viscount Crisp Tackle)“It is bound to happened anyway, Viscount Crisp…these days, those two factions are already destroying everything in their wakes anyway…they wreck everything as they liked…I can see why Lord Duke decide what he decided….it is something that must be done…we as the people of Alemia has to clear our own sins...only then…we can be rest assured that our new government will be able to settle fast and govern all the land with care and just…”.(Baron Ermin Sutton)If Viscount Crisp is the Eastern Alemia Region well known general, Baron Ermin Sutton, is the Eastern Alemia Region genius administrator. He is highly regarded by the Duke Oliver as the brain
The unspoken rules and cultures in Aeternum is naturally something that those who isn’t Aeternum hard to know,only those that has been living in Aeternum and actually in the knows would understand about it. The power nature in Aeternum government is also something that never really apparent in Aeternum governance, but if one were to see and inspect them closely they would see that it is happening all the time. Aeternum is just like any government in the world, there is corners to learn and get adjusted to, but compared to all the other Government structure out there, Aeternum is the only government that is following their rules to the bone.“...In Aeternum, Central Government Ministry…is the only Ministry in Aeternum…that is obtained His Highness President complete trust and authority…it was the only Ministry that proudly state their motto as…making the impossible, possible…no matter how hard the mission was…no matter how deadly the mission was…if the Central Government Ministry were
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
