As the first day of the Cabinet meeting were conclude with no ending decision at all, of which were all according to plans, the second day started with more or less the same as the day before. Both side were representing their case with vigor and heated debate, but it was really clear by now that the decision is leaning towards the war, though no one really wanted to admitted it, but many were looking forward to it, Then again, when it was announced that war is going to be the solution, it would take at least a week or two for any preparation to be done and then and only then, the war will be officially start. So right now, I am already recovered and currently working in my Presidential office at the Black House, I wanted everything to be in place before the war.Personally I wanted this major war event is something that can be felt through out the entire nation, people had to know that war is undergoing, so I am going to start and trained Aeternum the wartime traditions. Meaning at t
Holgun Iron Horn is one MI agent, more specifically his designation is 005, but what is unique about him, he and all his tribe member’s is also apart of the MI Agency, well, his tribe were left with just 20 people after they were saved by the Army. They were the worker of the agency, their entire tribe is, although they were Minotaurus Demi-Human, they were very intelligent and despite their big stature they are very nimble, Their species were Highland Cows, so they are quite hairy with a big horn, when it comes to Demi-Human, if one thinks that one race would only be represented by one species type, that is wrong. For example, for Minotaurus, they have many different type of Minotaurus and this is what differentiate their tribes.The Iron Horn Tribe, is considering themselves as one of my direct Vassal, ever since my army saved them, Holgun search for me like crazy, and when he meet me, he intermediately swore his loyalty to me along with his entire tribe as well, Since then they hav
The names on that list is extensive, and most of the targets were all a lord of a land, and they were somewhat have some influence of themselves. This operation is truly something that need a finesse when it’s done, it is because above all, I don’t want Duke Oliver to have a second guess when joining me and Aeternum, him knowing that I might be the one that killing of the names that he has been happy to collect, will put a doubt in his mind. The guy were nice, that is why he was trying to help and saved as many people that he knows as he could, despite not really knowing that some of those people were just using his kindness just to become a snake on my side.Although even if he knows that I killed those people for my own reason, he would probably by them just wavered his heart but still served me, probably, but if he finds out that through his kindness that these people were using him to leech on Aeternum, when that happened, I am sure that he would blamed himself to much and deem hi
After Holgun Iron Horn took the folder of the assignment that I gave him and his people, that is pretty much concludes everything that had to be done for the secret side of the war, now everything is already set in place and waited for the motion to start. To be quite honest, I rather quite excited to see everything comes to play right now. For a long time, I have been doing this kind of thing not for myself, but for others, I saw how those that I worked for gained what they wanted for my plans and executions, but never once that I have done everything and the one that would reaping every benefits would be me. Al in all, this very new for me, and I guess I should be the one that is waiting for result now.“I must say, Sir..in all my life serving a ruler, never have I served someone like you…your plans encompassed everything..and covers every things and even things that might have happened in the future…quite careful…but was it always had to be in these detailed?..”.(Alfred Monticello)
In Aeternum New City, the life still goes on as normal, people commute to work and their daily lives,as if nothing major had happened, it is true but at this moment the entire nation were actually waiting for the major decision that would be taking place perhaps today. The debate of whether war or no war, in the Aeternum Cabinet has been getting more and more intense and now that debate that would determine the future of the nation has entered the 3rd day today. And everyone come to a consensus that today will be the final day that this issue will be discussed at the nation highest and most legitimate hall in the entire nation.“Oi, Suchong boy…right here!..”.(Madame Betty)Madam Betty are seated at the many now slowly occupied stone bench, hold up her hand to beckoned the Army Bar owner, to come to their group. Today, a lot of shops in New Cit were closed since it was Sunday, and at the same time it was also the 3rd day of the Cabinet hearing, and thus the Holographic Broadcast Audit
When the clock showed 10 o’clock in the morning, at that time, the Holographic Broadcast were then turned on, grabbing the attention of all Aeternum citizen at all the Holographic Auditorium all over Aeternum. The Holographic Broadcast Auditorium were akin like a community centre at all of Aeternum settlement, be it a village, towns or city. All of these places had them, right now the Holographic entertainment has been frequent and it became many people source of information and entertainment, but since this Auditorium were used for the public, hence it became a public gathering place and a place for community to come together, thus lessen the gap of connection between the authority and the people.“Has it already started?..”.(Winston)“It was about to…the Broadcast is already on…so you got here just in time Winston..”.(Wallace)In Agriculture Region, the Wheat Town, the Town administration hall, which also function as the Holographic Broadcast Auditorium were packed with all the Whe
When most of the Aeternum citizens has already settled in, in front of their own place of Holographic Broadcast, at that moment, finally there were video feeds coming through at all the Auditorium, and the first face that comes out were the one that many has already recognized by now, as the first ever face of Aeternum entertainment industry, it was Quara Raedrim. Today she is reporting live inside a Broadcast booth, inside the Cabinet Hall itself, and right now,the atmosphere inside the Cabinet Hall were filled with tense as many of the Cabinet Members, assistant and attendee made their way to their seat.“[Greetings and good morning Aeternum…I am Quara Raedrim, your presenter for today Aeternum Cabinet Meeting…Today, will possibly a momentous day…perhaps even a historical moment, in the History of our Nation…as today, would be the last day and also the day of the decision…for what has been a 2 long days of intense debate and discussion to determined the path that our nation will be
For every single viewers and listeners, many thought that today would be just the regular ending for the meeting, never once they would thought that the President that is currently known is recovering from his injured would come out and personally joined today’s meeting. This is really a surprising moment, today and just when Quara Raedrim spoke about the president making his appearance, the camera were shooting at the President making his entrance. He is looking fine and mesmerizing as he always does, with his signature black and gold uniform, but today he is using his swords as his cane to walk.The Cabinet hall were in all full attendance at the moment, everyone were already on their seat, and the President and the 5 Minister were the last one to enter. The entire hall were silent still as he walks in, fully dressed and with each steps he takes, the cane knocked on the floor, making a thumping sound that echoes through out the room, as if commanding awe and respect and silence has
“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
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
