After a round of compliments coming towards Bina as her subordinate is actually very capable, the scene on the screen has started to get very active. The Crowds at the Auction house are mainly those that were at the middle income and higher, so all of them can be considered quite educated. And what is more, that quite a number of them has their own Mobile Phone, that has the basic messaging application on them. Secretly under the initiative of the A.C.I.A all mobile Phone that were in the Area of the Auction House were getting a government text message. Informing them that there were suspicious people in their area, and alarm them to be extra careful and followed the Police Officer instruction when the time comes.“Ohhh~..the Swat already arrived….and…surprisingly our citizens is really quick witted…”.(Andrea)“Not that they were quick witted…the A.C.I.A has sent message text to all the mobile phone user in the area alarming them all of ‘Suspicious Activity’ going on…that is why the c
At the same time, Outside of the Auction House.For the Assassin Group from the Battle Star Empire, The Spider. For these whole time that they were eyeing for the end of the Auction Events, they have been very lax about how they approached these mission of theirs. To the Spider Group, They deem that Aeternum, is just a barely capable small nation that were still naive in these world of strong beating the weak. Aeternum, their citizens and their leaders were foolish to reject the Emperor generosity, and for that Aeternum were nothing but weakling nation that only waited for their time to be culled by the Empire blades. Thus they didn’t even take this mission seriously.They have been looking down on Aeternums these entire time, as there is no way a small nation like Aeternum were even able to withstand their power and their top tier skills that has been proven, time and time again all over the world. Little that they know that their hubris of an action would come back and bite them in
The Atmosphere outside the Auction House area, were filled with hostility and cautious, both coming from the Assassin’s sides and Aeternum Police and the A.C.I.A. Both side shows different type of feelings around them, The Spider Assassin’s were giving up the vibes of Confident and also very arrogant, after all they still believe that even with them being surrounded, they would still come up on top of these people, the same as they always does, no matter whom their foes are. Meanwhile on the Aeternum side, everyone were giving up the feeling of cautious, with unmoving confidence.Unlike the Spider Assassin Group, the Aeternum Police and the A.C.I.A were confident in their prowess, not to mention unlike their opponent, Aeternum side knows quite a lot of their opponent capability and background. Which to Commissioner Layla and the others, thinks that compared to their glorious tales, the one before them were very pale in comparison. Aeternum side has more than enough high Tier combatant
In the face of been given such ridiculous choice from the arrogant Assassin Master, what comes in return from Commissioner Layla is something that no one can ever fathom, what would be her reply. Rather than answering with yes, the entire area were brought to a surprise by Layla simple retort.“BANG!!!..”.“Arrrghhhhh!!!!…yo…you!!..what have you done to my knee?!!!…Arrrghhhh!!!!…”.(Master Assassin Kyle)The Assassin Master that has been arrogant all these time, were brought to his knees in a mere fraction of a seconds. He is now sitting on his but on the ground, clutching his right knee caps that is now in a mess of bloods and a hole. He could not comprehend what had just happened, his right knee cap were blasted open by Commissioner Layla simple gesture.“Woman this..woman that…what concubine?…serving a better leader?…what a FARCE!!….so much for a Master Assassin!….with all that legend around you and your group….you can’t even predict what I was going to do…you don’t even realized w
In a span of 5 minutes, the ever so glorious and most fearsome Empire Assassin Organization were dealt with utmost ferocity and precision. They were cornered on all side, and before even a single one of the Assassin can stand up and defended themselves, or even wanting to attack, they were shot down without ant ounce of mercy at all. The S.W.A.T team that they regarded as a common foot soldiers stood tall like a menacing wall that broke off their routes. And their guns acted like a reaper scythe that reaps deaths whenever it booms.“Master!..Senior Disciple!…Please!..Run....Thud!..”.(Junior Disciple Assassin)“NO!!!…”.(Senior Disciple John)One of the Junior disciple assassin were tried to cover the 2 pillar of leadership of the Spider Assassin, wanting to be seen as heroic, but instead his attempts were useless, as the second he stood before the bullet, he died all the same like any other assassin that were around him, the arrogant and obnoxious Senior disciple John that were
The ever so glorious and fearsome, The Spider Assassin Organization that were once fearlessly and pridefully act under the direct order of the Emperor of the Battle Star Empire himself, were treated as it they were a bunch of nobodies, by the combination of Aeternum Police force and the A.C.I.A. No one were ever able to see the end result of this showdown at all, aside from the Aeternum side themselves. Commissioner Layla from the Police Force and Sasu who represent the A.C.I.A were expecting the showdown would at least be something that were possibly hard for them to handle, and they might even have to call for backups from the more battle oriented department for help.But instead what had happened was the confrontation were very easy for the Aeternum side that none of them were even breaking a sweat at all, In fact, many of the police and the agents were even puzzled to the point that they think for themselves, that was it really necessary for the S.W.A.T operator to enter the scene
Inside the Auction House, at the VVIP Room belonged to the Aeternum Royal Family, the reaction to the end of the whole fiasco were rather greeted with mixed emotions, a part of it everyone in the room think that I was rather funny how it ended, then there is an aspect of worries as to why the incident were to happened and what is the assassin motives in all of this, and what is the bigger angle of the entire thing, is the Empire finally setting their sights on Aeternum. Because if the entire does started to avert their focus and started to divert their attention to Aeternum then some precautions needs to be taken.“That is rather surprisingly…boring…Alfred did these Assassin really are from those prolific organization?…”.(Elijah)Not just Elijah everyone were also thinking the same thing. After all the subjugation of the supposed renown assassin groups seems to be so easy.“They are the so called…The Spider…and as it said..they are quite prolific…and were controlled by the Battle Star
Today although the Auction Events were a momentous event to be celebrated, there were many aspect to this night that also need to be taken into account, especially about the The Spider assassin groups and the Empire sudden shifts. Everything were just to sudden for me to just assume anything that Empire might make a move, so I decided to put that information at the back of my thought at the moment. The event can be considered a success, the auction has netted Aeternum a lot of money, and the masses and the customers that were spending tonight were also very satisfied and happy. There are many thing that can be improved regarding the Auction events, above all, that although me and the others has taken precaution regarding trading the Tier 4 materials. It seems that we still not cautious enough.“It looks like, even though we were careful…it seems that a Tier 4 materials is still very sought after…to the point that many things could go wrong…”.“I agree…Sire President…We in Aeternum wer
“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
