Every eyes were glued to the screen as they appreciates the beauty and the looks of the Aeternum Vice President, Vice President Elijah then made a polite yet regal bow addressing the entire nation of viewers and listeners, then went behind the desk, sitting down and settling herself perfectly before the screen. The camera then panned forward and now in full focus, capturing the Vice President image, fully.“[…Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen…I greet our beloved Citizens of Aeternum across our territory…To our President, Ministers, officers and soldiers that are currently in the front line….I greet you all and prayed for you safety and glorious day…..To the people of Alemia Nation and to all of the people that are watching and listening to this State Address…Good Evening and may god bless us all with prosperity and happiness…..Citizens of Aeternum…Today, on behalf of the President, the Ministers and the Cabinet…I am here to address you all, in regards of our nation current state…..My
“What the heck?!…200 million people?!!….that is outrageous?!…and yet they still kept fighting?…”.(Mr.Taran)“Why are you that shock, young man?….to those idiots…we the common people were expandable to them…and see…this is the prove of it all…but never have I ever thought that I learned such facts for the leader of other nation…”.(Old Grandpa)“Sob~…huhuhuh~…my son~!…”.(Old Grandma)Beside the blunt grandpa, sat his wife, sobbing her heart out as she called out to her deceased son, one soul of those 200 millions that has lost in the reign of those horrible nobles. Every refugees heart were broken all at the same time, as they finally learned that the injustice that they experienced were not only felt by just them but to many other Alemia citizens, and naturally it only hurt more,as this fact were said, addressed and acknowledge by the other nation leaders and their own.“[ Under the reign of Queen Romella, Crown Prince Amariss, Alemia Royal Court, Nobles and Lord….Corruptions, injustic
“The gate has been closed and the matter regarding the Refugees has been handled….Oliver are you alright…it kinda rare to see you just daydream like this…”.(Major General Lucas)“.…It’s nothing….oh and thanks for the help…the sudden order caught me and the staff off guard by a lot….…at the very least…the lives of these refugees will spared right?…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)Following the Duke, General Lucas also stood before the window and gazed at the crowd in the Plaza.“You worried about some useless stuff, Oliver…This war were led by His Highness President himself….and also all the top brass were at the fore front of this battle….they will not be massacring the entire population….we are not some barbaric army…rest assured…only those that deserved it will die…and it will also be punished accordingly….”.(Major General Lucas)“Hahaha….I just can’t help myself to be worried…I have been through a lot of battle and war myself….but every time I do…death were everywhere…When I sa
“As soon as we started to march…we planned to immediately conquer all these settlements whilst we move forward…they were in our paths…I suggest subdued them and thoroughly made sure that we left no gap behind our back…”.(Major Fontana De Ark)“Conquering these 30 settlements as we move forward, huh…..it can be done as you planned…but this will slow our movement even more…., especially if we wanted to follow the initial war plans and get to Georgina City in 3 days from now…I wanted to mention that…Georgina City is the border between the Central and Northern Region….and we need to control that branching point as fast as we can…remember we need to conquer the Northern Region as well…and this…all this settlement..is still within the Eastern Region…”.(Sergeant Leku)Leku pointed at the map with his finger circling all the settlements that Major Fontana asked to conquer as the army moved forward. “Sergeant Leku is correct if we decide to conquer this settlement as we move forward…we will b
…maybe we are overthinking this a little bit too much…”.(Major Fontana De Ark)“I guess the pressure to do your very best has gotten into you all, huh….Gentlemen….I am the one that is pushing this agenda….naturally, I will be the one that making sure that everything will go as planned…all that you all have to do is perform as good as you all can do…the rest leave it to me…”.“Understood, Sir…we all just might be a little bit nervous…after all…this is the first time we are going blitz like this…as far as I am concerned…no one has ever done things like this ever before…”.(Sergeant Leku)I decided that it was time to calm everyone a little bit, the one who was pushing the idea to finish this war faster was me, and naturally, I had to take responsibility for it. The stage is already set for this war and so does the way to do it, tomorrow everything will happen so fast and so easily, that even my own soldiers will be wondering what they were doing.“Just because no one has ever done
“Good…now you’re getting the picture…”.It was a fact that there will be some empty villages ans town within out targets, with the amount of people that has come to New Sunder City recently, it bound to be true. Recently the influx of people that were coming to this place has been increasing daily, and so does to the Pearl City, hence comes the questions, where does this people were coming from, the answer is from all the surrounding places in the territory. For the New Sunders City, these extra population comes from these small settlements.With them coming here,meaning that there 80% chances that the target will will be just an empty shell of a settlement and posses no values at all, and that is why I am sending the Recon team ahead of time, to make sure that if there is an empty target, we will move on right away and focused on dealing with only those that have a resistance in it. Right now if my calculation is right maybe there will be just a few of this settlement that weer far a
“Good, Marisko…you have done what I asked of you perfectly…controlling the underworld will give us many benefits in the future…congratulations…”.“[It’s an honour, Sir….all I’ve done…it is all for you and Aeternum…]”.(Supervisor Agent Marisko)I give credits where credits are due, and for intelligence agents like Marisko, although she cannot get a public recommendation, a words of gratitude from me is enough for her, and perhaps she is half Maiden unit herself, that appreciation from me meant a lot to her as well.“By the way…I know that you aren’t calling me just for this….is there anything you wanted to say to me?..”.“[Yes sir….I have assumed soft control of the entire Georgina City, Sir…ever since the war started and our forces has controlled the New Sunders City and Pearl City…the People Resistance here has been motivated to do the same thing…and hence I have provided them with motivation and ways to do it….and as a result…we are now controlling the entire city….secretly….]”.(Sup
“[I am glad to be of assistance, sir…..but….a show?…what do you mean by that sir?..]”.(Supervisor Agent Marisko)“.….right now, everyone are still a little bit worried and skeptical on whether this war we started is a good one or not, right?…..so…what if…I can conquer Georgina City…in a day…..and also all by myself?…”.In a brief of a moment, I got a funny idea, and with the entire Georgina City already under Marisko control, then surely I can do something with it. So I decide for it to be a show, a moment of absurdity that will be written in all the historical epic. And not just some fabricated and exaggerated story, but a true real one.“[….Sir….let me get this straight….so you were saying that you wanted to conquer Georgina City all on your own?….just with a single person?…]”.(Supervisor Agent Marisko)“That is correct….tomorrow…I will flew to Georgina City and on my own…I will conquer the city…won’t that be something that will stroke the fire of motivation to our soldiers….and per
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
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
