“Then, Master..what about the Doll of Hatred?…why would we need them so much and why does it essentials to us?…as far as I know…Doll of Hatred, is nothing more than a mere Tier 1 Monsters…on top of it being used a toys for the children…but only then, It were only the intact one, were able to be turned into a profits….while 90% of the time, Doll of Hatred were all just broken up toys that is useless…”. (Radian)“Well…we need the monsters…not because it was a toys that can be sold…but rather we need them for something else..”.Doll of Hatred, like Radian have said, it a lowly Tier 1 monsters, not really a threat to any mercenaries, Adventurer and definitely not to any of Aeternum soldiers. Like their name, Doll of Hatred is nothing more than a mere toys and dolls, it was just that they were made by a vengeful spirits monsters. Doll of Hatred was known to inhibits a numbers of forest areas in the Great Southern Wasteland.“What do we need from them, Sire?…their Spirits?..sure, a vengeful
Essentially the values of being in a good relationship with the Great Southern Wasteland, is nothing short of being an enormous benefits for Aeternum. Thus everyone in the room now knows just how I viewed everything up until now. If Aeternum wants to be more developed and become the largest Mercantile influence on the Central Continent, We definitely have to be in a good long terms alliance with the Great Southern Wasteland inhabitants, and keep it that way for a a long time. Which coincidentally good for me, is that the rest of the Continent has viewed those that hails from that area, is nothing but undesirable bunch.“...There is definitely a lot of merits for Aeternum to have good relationship with the Great Southern Wasteland…Perhaps..our first correct moves…is to established a safe and secure lines of communications..and also most importantly a direct roads of transportation from Aeternum and the Great Southern Wasteland…”. (Sofia Di Gianna)“I am sure that Master and all the Min
All over Aeternum, the atmosphere of the entire nation has been quite active as of lately, as the Government and the President himself has announced to the public that the entire nation will be entering it self development period. Aeternums has spring to life, everyday Aeternum woke up in the morning and head to their work, the business has been kicking off rather great, despite the Aeternum were closed off to the other nation, it own internal economy has been rather more greater than before. Aeternum were known to only buy and used their local produce, and rarely they bought the outside produce. After all, when it comes to products no matter what it is, be it food or furniture, Aeternum made has always been the best in the market.The sight of bustling New City, has been nothing but a spectacular sight for many, especially those that comes from outside of Aeternum. Although Aeternum has closed their borders to a lot of people, but there were still foreigners that were permitted to en
These days for the Staff at the Royal Yggdra Cafe, they have been rather busy, since they were one the top cafe in the entire New City, naturally that have been so for the cafe. Little that many know, Royal Yggdra Cafe, is actually owned by the Aeternum Royal Palace. It was one of the many business that were owned by the Aeternum Royal Palace, and these Cafe in particular is quite famous because, it was frequently Visited by Princess Yggdrasil herself. At the same time, it was also a chosen spot for a lot of the foreign dignitaries to enjoy their time. Because the cafe were the only cafe that , while still in the Commercial District, it was placed at the very end of it. So it has a very scenic views that made it able to see, almost the entire New City sight, it was closer to the Aeternum River, facing the New City Grand Central Square & Park, then facing the Aeternum Grand Temple, and also facing the entrance to the Residential District, Central Government District and the Science and
The party from the Great Southern Wasteland were stunned as they looked behind them. When it comes to legitimacy and status, naturally they can’t compare to the long linage of royalty such as the House of Angela of the Dukedom of Angela, the most status that all 4 of them can be known as is just some average low ranks nobles. So they can’t help but be respectful of the Princess and her Aide. But what is more baffling to them, is the Little girl beside the Princess, who seems to be only about 9 or 10 years old, and the one that is behind the little girl. The lady behind her, is wearing the famous Black Suit with the Silver Gilded lining, it was a famous iconic attires that only the Aeternum Royal Guards or the Secret Service agent wears them.The little girl, is rather stunningly beautiful and cute, unlike any other child that they have ever seen before, chubby rosy cheeks, large green eyes and then her silvery hair that were cutely tied into a two buns. She is also wearing a very high
In Aeternum, seeing one of Aeternum Royalty is really not easy, seeing the President and the Minister is possible, but to be able to meet and see the Princess of the nation is something that only a few were able to see her. Why, because it was widely known that the President as well as all the Ministers loved her dearly, and she were also known to be sickly, although the president never once forbid her to do anything that she wants, she still received the love and educations that befitted a successor to the throne of Aeternum, despite not being named yet as the heir to Aeternum crown. These show to all people that, No matter what, Princess Yggdrasil position in Aeternum is really high.On top of all these, the Princess were also well known and loved by all Aeternums, because she is all over the Aeternum, sending helps and contributing to charity. There were also a few incidents where the Princess herself will be personally helping any citizens that were involved in some misfortune. In
As the time passes by, instead of being excluded from the table, Princess Yggdrasil invited everyone from the Great Southern Wasteland to join her on her table. Naturally the conversations were circled around the topic of their origins, after all, the Princess is rather inquisitive about it as she is clearly fascinated with their story and tales about the wonders of the foreign places. Over the course of time, everyone were getting more and more friendly with each others, Crown Princess Angela Seraphim, didn’t mind the company and even enjoying it, as she can see the cute Princess Yggdrasil, cute acts, and also converse with her old acquaintance.“..So, why do you sisters and brother wanted to meet with Father?..Mother Andrea, said that…our Country never made any contact with your place…is there something bad happening there?..”. (Princess Yggdrasil)Her voice were a little concerned, because in these brief of time, she felt pleased with the representative stories. But she remember of
Like they all were being unconsciously being brought and lead by their nose, the Great Southern Wasteland, who’s just now talking with the Princess Yggdrasil and also Crown Princess Angela Seraphim. Has now got, perhaps something that is much more than they have ever anticipated. Because right after their conversation with Princess Yggdrasil was over, and the princess already left the cafe. They were left, with one of the Princess guards, right where they stand.“It’s Miss Amalinde Stammler, Mister Qekin Rivgog, Miss Lobelia Mudswan and Mister Luth Alantar, correct?..”. (Princess Guard, Knight Mathild Hindergrass)“Ah..yes…yes, Dame Mathild..it was us..”. (Amalinde Stammler)Knight Mathild Hindergrass, is Princess Yggdrasil Head of guard, the entourage leader of the Secret Service unit that incharge of protecting Princess Yggdrasil, her rank is Captain. She were the kind of soldier that were proud of her duty, after all, her Knight values also felt that she deserved to be in such pos
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
