As soon as Elijah done with saying the past part of her speech we all leave the Airport at once, no longer gave anyone a chance to hold our back and asked more questions to us. After all, nowadays, the Journalist, especially those that were from the other nation, is not already started to embodied their journalist nature and sometimes just went ahead and asked their question, barely able to hold themselves back. Besides the paper journalist from the other nation isn’t just some normal journalist, they also an informant for their nation. All foreign journalist that worked for their newspaper is working directly under their government.Under my advice, all of Aeternum allied nation had their own news paper company and it was owned and managed by their government. It was so that the news is much more credible and also the government can control what information they wanted to release, I gave them this idea and power to do so and all of them naturally loved it. But since many of the juicy
In terms of a new young generation of leadership in Aeternum we do need those that are different, and in Aeternum there is not a lot of people that were stand out from the many, and a lot of those people that do stand out from many is those that are really talented and deserved to be given a chance. Aeternum is not a simple nation, I made it with a lot of things that set it apart from the common medieval nation, in this era, especially the educational part, in Aeternum all of it’s citizens were educated and only about 1% of the population weren’t able to read whilst the rest can. This numbers can’t even be achieved by the other nation. Aeternum is a nation of the educated, but even so, not many were able to think outside of the box.So when there is someone that were able to think differently from anyone else that were all educated, then that person is definitely have some talent that can be utilized. Elijah is not one to not easily missed out a talent and not used it, whenever someon
Inside the Aeternum Presidential Palace, Right after the president has arrived, the entire palace were in a peaceful vibes, for the maids, butlers and all the Palace staff, this peaceful vibes is something that they haven’t felt for far too long, especially when the news if the president get harmed, that day, was gloomy for the entire Palace, were everyone were walking on eggshells. But today, everything were serene. A lot of security as well as the medical staffs were inside the palace at whole time. Right outside the President bedroom, The Royal family members can be seen waiting, as soon as the doctors and the nurse got out, one of the doctor went to face, Elijah.“Is everything done, Doctor?..”.(Elijah)“It is, Madame Vice President…we have done all we can for now, we correct all the stitches, cleaned the wound and changed everything anew….Beside, with Minister Rafaela healing magics…the President is a good as new now…But he still need to rest for at least 2 days, before diving
The news of me getting attacked by the Alemia Nation forces, seems to already spread all over Alemia Nation somehow. To be quite honest, I have already make sure that for the last few days the radio broadcast service in Alemia nation were blocked, just so that I can limit the news and information that they were able to get. But at time we all knew the power of medieval gossip, this kind of news spread faster than anyone can thought, if I were to guess, I supposed it must be spread by the merchants that comes into Alemia Nation from other nation, After all, I do not restrict that nation border after all. Still learning that they were now visibly shows their fear towards me, that is something refreshing.“It seems that Alemia Nation are in the know that they were under our scrutiny…Look, they send yet another letter…”.(Alfred Monticello)Alfred came into my office and put 2 letter enveloped on my desk, before me. Both of the letter were sealed with the royal Alemia Nation official Royal
The day after the return of Aeternum president back to New City, nothing much has changed at all, the life still continues as it always does, people still works and live their lives, the children rushes to schools as always. But underneath these normality, there is a wary and excitement brewing in the hearts of all the people, because today is Monday, and it was the day of the week that the National Cabinet meeting were held, just like any other Monday’s in the weeks, but unlike the usual, everyone knew and anticipated that today meeting were not like any other before it, because everyone believed that today meeting would brought more discussion more than ever.“…Uncle Suchong!…the usual lunch menu’s for me, okay..”.(Young Jackson)Young Jackson has just, finished his rallying for war campaign, and now were about to eat his lunch at one of Aeternum most famous spot for cheap food. The door bell of Army Bar, chimed and the owner of the bar, Suchong an Aeternum military
Just like Young Jackson at the Army Bar with Suchong the owner were waiting for the radio to be airing the usual Aeternum Cabinet Meeting for these week, the rest of Aeternum and also those that were outside of of Aeternum were also doing the same thing. All of the listeners were stuck near to their own radio and waited, because all of them knew that today might be the changed of course for Aeternum and quite possibly spelling the end for Alemia Nation absurdity once and for all. At these point thanks to the rumour that were spreads by the merchants and paddlers that had visited Alemia Nation, many had heard the nasty rumour about that nation. Many were saying that the nation were not safe, filled with crimes and violence, and the society there were not actually viable and suitable for any merchant or profitable business at all, thanks to their nation reputation that is constantly corrupts and also in wars.Then thanks to Aeternum radio news, the situation in Alemia Nation were then w
“[Also, due to the recent incident…Me, along with the Ministers had made a collective decisions….that from today onwards…we have closed and tighten the security of the Eastern border, to a state of war….and also closed the River routes….starting from today, the river trade routes, entrance and aids to the refugees nor anyone on the Eastern Border will be closed until further notice…I have decided that, Alemia Nation and it’s border is no longer a safe area….]”.(Vice President Elijah)To everyone that were listening to the Radio broadcast, all of them were shocked at this revealing bombshell that the Vice President of Aeternum has dropped, Closing their border and eve go as far as denouncing the other nation and labeling them unsafe, that is rather very straight forward. So far Aeternum had only denounce a single nation, and that is The Principality of Light, and along with their denouncement, that nation has fall from grace so low that everyone barely heard from them anymore.“[Due t
“Woah…doesn’t this mean that we once again, obtained a new Vassal state…meaning more city and nation now under the banner of our nation…right?..”.(Young Jackson)“..That’s right, Kiddo…our nation has gotten bigger and much more stronger than ever…hah!…they said that our mixed nation would go nowhere..but here we are, gaining another vassal state…”.(Suchong)The atmosphere inside the Army Bar were at all time high happy and in jubilant. Aeternum citizen’s unlike many other commoners, knew about the significant changes that these news would bring to them. Aeternum Citizen were made to know and were educated to know about the allied nation that ally themselves with Aeternum. And they all know that Kingdom of Zaredon were a small nation, but even so, these new nation has now become Aeternum vassal state is a big accomplishment, because in the last few hundred years of central continent history. No nation has ever accomplished such feat at all, most of the warring state just went and invad
“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
