“[I am sure by now, although none has spoken about it..nor dare to speaks about it…we all know how solemn it is in Hallerus…Although it was embarrassing for me to say it…but, my father…King Robert has fallen from it’s former grace….crime has gotten out of control, injustice spread like bush fire…I know, and feel it, the cries of my fellow Hallerussian…praying and begging for a change!….Though my family has ignored all of this…but I will not!!..]”. (Radio)
The many people who listened to the radio were shocked at the confession. For a royal to confessed the fault in their monarch is not something that is easy to say, in fact up until now, there is never the case where a member of a royal that would openly confessed that they were at fault. This has shocked many people and the shaky voice of Princess Helen, managed to touched the heart of the listeners, especially for the many Halleru
“Thank you for the heartwarming confession and by far the largest decisions that I have ever heard been don inside of this radio broadcast, Your Highness Princess Helen…then, Mr.President if you please…”. (Quara Raedrim)As of right now, Princess Helen Hallerus has already finished her speech and statements. Now it was left to me to speaks for myself and relay to the audience the Aeternum stands in this matter. Quara Raedrim swiftly handed the speech to me and I went on.“Thank you Quara….Good Afternoon, fellow listeners both in and outside Aeternum…I am, Mies Sai, The president of the Independent States of Aeternum…in this moment, I just wanted to say and express how relieve I was, to see, meet and knowing Princess Helen….To me she was deserving of the Hallerus throne…she is compassionate towards her people, pure and have a big heart for justice..”.
As celebration went off like a fireworks all over the Hallerus Kingdom, many listeners around the Central Continent can’t help but feeling awed by this development. It was the first time that they actually be able to witness some historical moment happened with them knowing the whole story. This is a rare opportunity also to some who able to smell some windows to get something out of this war, especially for the mercenary group and Adventurer Teams, who going after, 3 crucial things, that is money, fame and connections. For many that knows about Aeternum, they know that this little nation is no push overs, and they know an opportunity is waiting for them.“Hurry, tell everyone to get ready!…we are going to Merrica City today!..”.(Silver Farm Mercenary group leader, Mongoose)Silver Farm Mercenary Group is fairly a new Mercenary Group, a low level group to be exact and only at the Copper Ranks.

The announcement regarding Princess Helen Quest for the Throne, in just a few hours has become a wide spread news that broke many anticipations. Thanks to this a lot of opportunity has open to anyone that want’s to seek them, be it fame, money or anything, when there was a war, then everything will go. This also meant, that those that were having greedy thought about Hallerus Kingdom also sees this news of civil war as something that they should take advantage of. A slick opportunity to get what they want. One of those force that eyeing for the Hallerus Kingdom, is Visma Nation and Battle Star Empire.“<BAM!!>…I thought that the Hallerus Kingdom is finished as soon as I heard that Prince Robert The 2ndannounced that he will be warring against his father…hehehe..who would’ve thought…that instead of that lofty Prince it was his sister that actually stood to the occasion…”.(King Vismark The
Aeternum, New City, Black House Meeting Room.With the Radio Broadcast has already done with, it was now time for the last strategic meeting, with all the involved party. Luckily there was 12 meeting room inside of the Black House, and about half of them can be joined together by simply just removing the partitions wall. So for this large meeting that would involved many forces, 3 room has been conjoined into one large room.“Currently Present!…From Dukedom of Angela, Princess Angela Seraphim and Baroness Rebecca Gen Andersson..”.(Lieutenant Colonel Sareen)Since this was an official high level meeting only those that were of high ranked were allowed inside. Sareen has took the role of Secretaries in this meeting and so is the other second and third in command of the department. As per the protocol of the meeting, roll call was important, starting with the foreign ambassador, Sareen ca
The numbers of Mage were quite short actually, probably almost to the point of useless even, but 10 Grand Wizard is sufficient enough also, as a Grand Magus of Tier 6, the old man is quite good actually. He’s a living legend so to said, famous a few hundred years back for participating in a lot of wars. But this sight from Institute of Artemesia is understandable, after all, they were not actually a country, but rather just a large private school that has it’s own land, most of the time they were neutral. But everyone can see that the time has changed, eventually they have to picked a side, since then they have chosen to side with the First World Alliance, hence they have to keep their parts of the bargain.“From Free Nation of Triangle Guild, Mercenary Association President Sir Alphonse Gilbert and Aeternum Mercenary Guild Branch Guild Master, Mister Balnur Halor..”.

“Hohoho…I never thought that I would be joining this meeting thou…I am honored to see all of you..leaders..”. (Count Redwall)Seeing that Setting Sun Kingdom were the only unnamed nation in the room, the kind and timid Count were rather embarrassed and felt out of place being in this room. After all, no one other that the Aeternum knows who he was and where he comes from.“We are all humbled to see you, representing the Setting Sun Kingdom joining us on this meeting table…As one of the ally nation..you are deserved to be here….<CLAP!>..Everyone I needed your attention please….Thanks, Sareen I will take over from here…”.Seeing me comforting him, does put a lot of ease on the timid Count, it was surprising to see him like this after all, when he was about to save his wife, he couldn’t be more gallant and brave. Taking the lead in the room I stan
“It was fairly simple…and quite easy to figure out how the King Has fall from grace…Greed…and Overwhelming sense of greed..that not only stem from himself..but those that were around him…”.As the room curtains were closed, and the light were dimmed. The presentation started, and with that a tsunami of information were shown on the slide shows. Which shocked everyone in the room, which mostly not only due to the amount of information that I had collected but also the technology that I showed them. After all PP Slide shows is something that not Medieval era People could see.“(…This is amazing..just how could a pictures just hovers out of nowhere….Hohohoho…Aeternum has never cease to amazed me…Right Lion Boy~)”. (Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)“(They has always like this…It was all thanks to His excellency…Ingenious mind,

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
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
