Duke Halden puffed up, trying to recover the old bravado. “So what? The Empire may be distracted, but we are Lone Star! Aeternum is nothing compared to our might. We only need rally more banners, conscript more men—”

“More men?” General Marrec’s voice cracked with disbelief. “I watched our knights crumble under storms of fire. I saw our vanguard pinned like cattle in a slaughterhouse. Ten more regiments would only mean ten more mass graves. If we march more men into that cursed ravine, we are not reinforcing them—we are feeding them to wolves!”

The chamber erupted in shouts. Nobles jeered at the general, accusing him of cowardice. Others whispered anxiously, their faith shaken. The king sat silent on his throne, face red with fury, but eyes betraying something else.

Fear.

That night, when the nobles had dispersed and the hall lay empty, King Veyran remained alone, staring at the lion carved into his throne.

For the first time, the thought gnawed at him: What if I was wrong?

He had bel

  • Traveller Of Two Worlds   Episode 2866

    “Aeternum Builds, the Star Region Rises.”Andrea stood close beside him, arms crossed. “You’ve built an empire that works, Mies. Not through fear… but through function.”Mies gave a small, weary smile. “Fear fades. Systems endure.”For a moment, they simply watched — husband and wife, leader and minister — as the city below pulsed with new life. The Star Region, once the seat of arrogance and cruelty, now thrummed with the sound of progress. The hum of turbines, the clang of steel, the hiss of steam — this was the sound of rebirth.And high above it all, illuminated by the last rays of sunset, the Aeternum flag rippled in the wind — no longer just a banner of conquest, but the mark of a civilization rewriting history in real time.*********************The Star Region no longer woke to the tolling of church bells or the barking orders of nobles.Now, it woke to the rhythmic chorus of machinery — cranes swinging in the morning haze, engines humming like a great metallic heartbeat acros

    The Star Regional Bank, backed by Aeternum’s treasury, launched new micro-loan programs for small businesses. Shop owners expanded. Artisans returned. The hum of prosperity was back.In an interview broadcasted across the nation, a local teacher said:“We used to dream of escape. Now we dream of what we can build here.”Even former skeptics — nobles stripped of their power, old merchants who once scorned Aeternum’s order — quietly admitted that life had never been this good.The Iron Vein had done more than transport goods — it transported hope.One night, aboard the first ceremonial train running from Star City to Aeternum Capital, Mies sat by the observation window. The world outside blurred into streaks of silver and light — forests, rivers, bridges flashing by like the pages of history turning.Elijah sat across from him, sipping tea. “It’s beautiful,” she said. “You’ve tied the world together with steel.”Mies smiled faintly, his gaze distant. “Steel breaks,” he replied. “But the

    That night, when the council dispersed and the halls fell silent, Mies walked alone to the balcony overlooking Star City. The skyline shimmered — glass towers rising beside restored marble domes, trains gliding like silver veins through the city’s heart. The streets were alive with lights and laughter.He rested his hands on the railing, letting the night air brush against his face.Far below, the people danced under the glow of electric lamps, their joy reflecting in every window.Behind him, Elijah appeared quietly. She said nothing — just stood beside him, sharing the view. Together, they watched the horizon as the first faint glimmer of dawn began to rise.Mies spoke softly, as though to himself.“Empires fade by the sword,” he said. “But civilizations… they endure through justice.”Elijah smiled, taking his hand. “Then let this be our beginning — not an empire of conquest, but an empire of reason.”The first rays of the new sun spread across Star City, bathing its towers and stre

    Behind them, Elijah looked out at the horizon — the banners of Aeternum fluttering against the morning light.“All threats neutralized, sir. Star Region is fully stabilized.”Mies’s gaze softened as he looked out over the city, the people, the sunrise.He had seen war, he had built nations, and he had silenced empires.But at that moment, as the first rays of sunlight brushed across the Star Palace, he understood the price of it all.“Peace,” he murmured, “is not given — it’s built. Brick by brick, choice by choice.”Below them, the citizens cheered, unaware of the silent machinery of order that had secured their safety.The great city gleamed under the dawn — calm, beautiful, unaware of the shadows that had made it so.And thus, Aeternum’s rule over the Star Region was not just born of victory… but maintained by quiet, unseen resolve.***********************The dawn that followed the wedding was unlike any other in Star City’s long, turbulent history.The air was sweet with the smel

    That day became known across the continent as “The Day the Bells Never Stopped.”Music filled every corner of Star City. Processions of soldiers, teachers, engineers, and children paraded through the boulevards. Food stalls gave away free meals; dancers performed in the squares; fountains glowed with luminescent lights. For one day, there were no titles, no ranks — only citizens of a new world rejoicing together.Inside the palace, the Coronation Feast began — a grand affair filled with laughter and diplomacy. Foreign leaders toasted Mies and Emilia, the walls echoing with clinking glasses and polished words. But amid the splendor, Mies’ gaze occasionally drifted toward the city below, to the people who celebrated not as subjects, but as equals.Later, as the sun set and the last of the guests departed, the great hall grew quiet.The music softened to a gentle waltz, played only by a handful of musicians who remained. Under the dim amber light, Mies turned to Queen Emilia.“We’ve buil

    “History may remember this night not for a wedding… but for the dawn of an empire.”From his balcony, Mies stood quietly, the fireworks bathing him in light. Elijah joined him, wrapping an arm gently around his. She smiled, her voice calm against the echoing booms.“They came to witness a marriage,” she said. “But they’re really witnessing the rise of something greater.”Mies looked over the city, where banners waved and music drifted through the streets. His eyes were steady — not of a man drunk on power, but one who understood it.“No, Elijah,” he said softly. “They’re witnessing order. The world has lived long enough in chaos.”The last of the fireworks burst into a radiant star above the palace — silver and gold entwined — the symbol of Aeternum and Star Region united.******************At dawn, the city awoke to the sound of bells.They rang from every tower, chapel, and clockwork spire across Star City, their tones woven together into a single melody that rolled across the skyl
