Duke Oliver got his eye widened as His daughter mentioned Adriana Jelina can’t make it to become a Maiden. That is very shocking to hear, after all, Adriana Jelina were known as a prodigy and a sought after prospect in the Aeternum Royal University, even to the public, she is a well famous icon, not just as her role as the Student Body President, but also as the Daughter of Aeternum First Governor and a philanthropist.“She can’t make it?….why?..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“It’s Because being a Maiden is a big responsibility….they are serving the President, the Royal Family and also the 5 Ministers…not to mentioned that a Maiden must be above Tier 1 and also able to do everything that is needed….Also….this is told to me, By Madam Elijah herself…..A maiden were chosen…by the Maiden Unit itself…it is not something that can be apply at all…..Dear, Husband….I supposed Colonel Xing has arrived?..”.(Countess Sarra Gust)In the middle of the Conversation between father and daughter, Counte
Ever since the absurd war happened, between Queen Romella and her own son, Crown Prince Amariss, Queen Romella peaceful and lavish life end. The peace and the rich life that she were given by Aeternum were destroyed by her own blood, at least to her that what she felt. To be brutally honest the peace and the victory that she obtained from Aeternum, at all this entire time, she had done absolutely nothing at all to preserved it nor even to even improved the entire nation. Instead the job of administrating the nation, fell to her vassal, meanwhile she just ever so regularly dropped by to see and observed, as long as the situation were just normal, that was enough for her, and she would gladly enjoyed her lavish unlimited life that she never had before.Queen Romella, unlike her son, actually feared Aeternum prowess, and for her, she knew not to offend Aeternum is the best way for her to keep her way of life. But over the course of time, that fear were corroded by ignorance and bliss, sh
The fact that the Viscount openly mocked Aeternum is something that all of them took a great pleasure of doing it. To them they already long forgotten the favour that Aeternum had done to them and their nation, the fact that Aeternum leaved them alone and endured being betrayed by the Crown Prince Amariss in the Hallerus Kingdom Civil war, yet Aeternum did not retaliate, they all see this silence as cowardice act. And then when they plundered the Aeternum fleet, and got no reaction from Aeternum they sees it as, Aeternum as a weak nation. Though Viscount Pearl forgot, that there were many times, where the Aeternum fleet retaliate and every time Aeternum do, he lost his army. Yet, since the nation that he harassed, barely said anything, so ignorantly he sees it as his win.“Perhaps they were strong…hence I don’t want all of us to just ignored their threats….”.(Crown Prince Amariss)The Crown Prince rather haughty and misplaced timing of words of wisdom's, only attracts silence and snee
As both side of the Alemia Nation warring faction were wondering and pondering about the clear silence and absence of Aeternum. At the same time, all over the nation, a clear shift of mood are already spread throughout the entire nation, without those that are deemed to be the enemies knows about it. A.C.I.A who’s controlled and already become the crown monarch of Alemia Nation underworld, has already started to move, being they were the the one that formed and supported the Alemia Civilian revolution forces, word and news of warning were spread, from one town to another, and one village to another.Inside the sealed and siege Alemia Capital City, 4 noble family, are currently in conference with a few more people of the Civilian revolution officials. Today, it was a good news for everyone, because after a long time of them waiting and hiding in the city that is currently in war. A messenger comes knocking on their door, and it comes from their hopeful leader that they all put on the
The motivation and the belief behind the Alemia Civilian Revolution army were simple, they just wanted a better life and to be safe as the lived as they always was. And to all the revolution soldiers and their army, the closes they ever be and experience to this dreams of theirs is when they were ruled briefly under Aeternum Military. That is the only fond memories for everyone in Alemia Nation, the only moment that the commoners, slaves and nobles actually able to live without any worries, got enough food to eat and safe from banditry, war and monsters. The presence of Aeternum governance, brought the feeling of safety, serenity and prosper, the kind of feeling that they never felt under the rule of their nobles and Royals.Even Duke Oliver Gust, the one that they all called leader strive the same goals as everyone and he was the one that ushered everyone that. For everyone to be able to actually live their life to the fullest, is for Alemia Nation to become apart of Aeternum. With e
Aeternum were known and also believed by all, that they were kind, just and also benevolent, but at the same time, they were also known for their stern and strict manners. They does not tolerate anyone that do not conform to their orders and regulation, this is a value that everyone knows about Aeternum, and for this naturally, the Alemia People also knows about this, as they not only have been under Aeternum once, but since many of them strive to become an Aeternum citizens, they abide by these rules and values. If Corporal Leku were any normal military officers or even a noble from Alemia Nation, this order and a reminder from him, would be ignored by Viscount Danny Eliot, Emet and the others, but as he was an Aeternum military officer and the order that he brought were only by Duke Oliver Gust, but also the Aeternum Grand General. Them as just a normal plebeians had to stand down.“Stand down…stayed inside and just listened to the radio?….that’s it?…..why?..”.(Emet)Viscount Danny
Just like what is currently transpire in Alemia Capital City, where Corporal Leku were tasked to delivered the secret mission to the Revolution forces. All over Alemia Nation, that same kind of event were happening all over the entire nation. Thanks to Duke Oliver Gust fellow nobles that supported his effort, and collaborating with the Civilian forces in order to liberate themselves. The night of the order were given, all over Alemia Nation the Alemia Civilian Revolution forces were all busied themselves as they all spread all over the places and planted the radios, in preparation for the big day tomorrow. For sure, that when the radio news were aired, there will be no corner in Alemia Nation that people couldn’t hear the declaration of war.Meanwhile, in Aeternum as all the gears were in motion, The President of Aeternum, along with a dozens of Maidens, were on the road to the Military Base in the Eastern Border. The convoy moved at the afternoon of the day, and as always it created
My arrival at the Eastern Border base, is not at all a secret that need to be kept, hence once I arrived, immediately the Eastern Border Town, instantly sprung into liveliness. Civilians comes from all over Aeternum territory flocked here for the historic moment, that they knew will be written in Aeternum history, or perhaps they were just here to see me. I will not brag at all, but my popularity as the President and also the ruler of Aeternum is actually widely spread, and it was not even exaggerating that many were worshiping me, to the point that I even worried about it, I am afraid that the people would make a cult about me.Suffice to say the change that Aeternum had made in this world were massive, and the fact that Aeternum has become a haven for the Demi-Human and the rejected had contributed to Aeternum popularity and me. The changed that I made, impacted a lot of lives, and it was all thanks to me that these people were able to live humanely as they should be and deserved. T
“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
