After all the pleasantries is passed with, it was time to get into the true conversation that seems to have been bothering Duke Oliver Gust quite a lot. I noticed his rather odd behaviour from before, from the moment I saw him he seems a little bit off, his usual confident self is somewhat waver. Also both of his wives, is also quite shaken a little bit, so does Student Francesca, she is usually mirrors my behaviour, being objective and unfazed, I sees Francesca a lot in this mansion of mine, she and Adriana Jelina often sent Yggdrasil home. Turns out, both her and Adriana Jelina is already close friend with Yggdrasil, so in returns I usually teach Francesca Oliver a few things and guided her and give her a chance to grow into a fine future leader.But today, she seems a little bit shaken, like she were worrying about something and I am sure it was because of her family. Now that I remember what Mot said to me earlier, she had met with Duke Oliver whilst she was hunting down the spies
Duke Oliver asked me why not just wiped everything that bothers me, he is really a straight forward person he is wise, but at some region, he is just not very good in some of things. On the other hands, Countess Sarra Gust his wife seems to picked up something from my words and her expression is that of understanding of Aeternum approach. Seems like Jelina is correct about her, this second wife of the Duke is quite a charmer for Aeternum style of governance.“Dear…if A.C.I.A just decided to just demolish everyone…then Aeternum will get a bad reputation and disagreement from everyone…they would all backed out and started to fall out of line..people need a hopes..even if that hopes is an empty ones….beside, from their own spies…we can control what they can know or not…it is much simpler that way…”.(Countess Sarra Gust)“So..it is better for them to get something that they thought they got it with their own efforts…while in actuality it was something that WE gave them instead…just so the
Meeting with me, I supposed has eased quite a lot of tension in the Gust Family, I supposed, because today they are already resuming their halted activity. Also, Gust Family really are quite rich, in just a single day, they have deposited roughly about 100 million credits into their family main account, on top of that they are already in their shopping spree, buying cars and everything. Perhaps, the Gust Family, already entering the top 1 percent wealthiest family in Aeternum, despite them not even opening a business or anything. When their Eastern Territory were brought in, with the abundance of their mines there. Even the Monti Family who is now, the mogul of Aeternum private constructions business might have to yield their richest family status to Gust Family.“Looks like someone is enjoying their time to the fullest…”.“They did, they even bought a lot of high end furniture's to bring back to their territory..which cost hundreds of thousands…”.(Andrea)Right now, in my office I a
When it comes to the refugee situation in Aeternum, such problem rare got settled at all, every day the numbers of refugees that comes to Aeternum only increase, it never goes down. And naturally as for Aeternum benefits, we never really turned them down at all, we accept all that we can, because the added numbers of new population would always helped Aeternum to grow even bigger and provided Aeternum with a lot of benefits. Up until now, The Alemia Nation and Aeternum border, or the Eastern border of Aeternum as we called it. Has been shut tight under my direct order, it was for Aeternum protection from the pest at the Alemia Nation.Due to the Crown Prince Amariss betrayal and the non responsive Queen Romella about the entire thing. I have decided to just barred them from access to Aeternum, which I am certain the effects has not only cause a lot of negativity going on in the nation, but also has made them loss quite a lot of their finance. Refusing to not just barred the entire nat
“Yeah..let’s do that……Sareen, Call Director Paul from the Entertainment and Broadcast Department..and also call Selie too…”.“[Yes, Sir…understood]”. (Lieutenant Colonel Sareen)Upon my agreement, with Mina suggestions, I intercom Sareen with the phone on my desk and have her call the 2 person for this plan at once. Rather than leaving this matter just sat like this, it was much better to do it now, this situation has been brewing a little bit too long. Beside some starting good publicity is something that is always welcome right now, quite honestly we re going to start the chain of plans to invade the Alemia Nation with a righteous attitude.Lieutenant Colonel Selie is someone that is just qualified enough to represent the Central Government Ministry. I know that Elijah we busy and so does everyone else in the Ministry. They are right now are dropping in Agents into the Alemia Nation, they were at the initial phase of their mission, so I don’t want to bothers them too much. As
In Aeternum just like on earth, I have implemented the threat level warning, from level 1 to 5, level one being just a concern, but still need to be addressed, but even if it wasn’t being dealt with, it would not do any harm, and probably just a mere destruction of buildings or just a few lost lives. A Level 5 threat, is just a nation wide destruction and extinction level threat, so to say. Which up until now has never been issued at all. So, for this matter, a threat level 2, which is a national crisis, It was appropriate. A level 2 threat is something that were always alarmed Aeternum. It was the normal warning when the Monster Stampede happened.It is also a crisis serious enough that it can kill a lot of lives and destroy a lot of things. Also it requires a lot of attention and seriousness to it, the Aeternum Masses naturally already knows this and no one ever takes this warning lightly. Therefore this is why the Threat Level 2, National Crisis were appropriate to be alarmed to th
All over Aeternum, not just the New City, the day has been going on just fine, everyone were living their lives, some goes to work, some goes to schools. A typical life of anyone in the world, as the day getting older, everyone are already on their way home or already home. Right now it was around 4 in the afternoon, it was safe to say that most people were already back at their home and currently relaxing with their families after a day of tiring works. For the Aeternum, usually when they got back home, they would tuned up the radio and enjoyed the entertainment. Music would play, and the Radio Dramas would air, it was their favourite time of the day. And usually all the family members would sat together in their living room where the radio were being put on and just enjoyed their time together.Everywhere else in Aeternum were mostly the same, at this time, the taverns, bars or restaurant, were all getting their highest volume of customers and at this time the Radio’s were also play
A threat level 2 warning is not something that is can be taken lightly. Although usually this kind of national warning never really does cost anything to the Aeternum or the Aeternums, it was a magnitude of an event that previously would killed a lot of people and ever destroys villages and towns. But now under the protection of Aeternum government, the past disasters has never repeated itself again. It was all being handled before any casualty ever takes place, therefore when a nation wide warning were issued, and more over, the President himself has took the stage and addressed this particular situation to the entire nation. Everyone would listen and pay attention, because if the President himself take command, meaning this Threat Level 2, might have something special on it.“[Good Afternoon, Dear citizen of Aeternum…I am Your President, Kaiser Mies Sai….it has been quite awhile, since I have personally addressed the entire nation like this…as always, Myself and my family has always
“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
