Who would’ve thought that the President himself were here to ease her tension. Once they realized that the President we before them, all of the students were stunned and speechless, but thankfully despite the pressures, they didn’t forget the correct manners when meeting with an Aeternum royalty. Naturally all of them performed a military salute and then bowed to him, the president returned their greetings with a smile on his face. Then continues to engage in a casual conversation with Adriana Jelina“Your Mother were here with me too…don’t just greeted me..”. (President Mies)Her being to stiff were clearly made a good impression to everyone, meaning that she weren’t to over achiever.Adriana reputations on her personality and her academics situations has become a center of attentions of many Ministry department that wanted to recruit her in their midst. She is after all a high quality prospect for potential high level officials, as a proof she is now doing her internship at the Cent
It was a jubilant moment is the Aeternum Cabinet Hall, with the appearance of the President inside the hall and will be inside the meeting as well, meaning that their meeting today will be a progressive ones, instead of just discussing matters and reporting their progress as all of the Cabinet Members has done a few meetings ago. Marking the special occasion of the today meetings is the Oath of Truth were delivered by a Student of the Aeternum Royal University, which is never happened before. Hence everyone were all standing up as the Oath of Truth were delivered by Student Council President Adriana Jelina and her Vice President, Maidel Ibryill.“We the Cabinet Members of the Independent State of Aeternum, selected by the President of the Nation and the 5 Minister…solemnly swears to uphold the truth, justice and honourable conduct as we took part in these sanctimonious and important ceremony…Promise to served the nation, the people and the Royalty of Aeternum with honesty,dedications,
As the meeting progressed, now everyone is finally able to get hold of the entire pictures of the mega project that Aeternum is currently undergoing. As the project can already be considered as it was already entering it’s 20% progress. When it was started everyone can only figured out about roughly the the entire situations, as the project were being spearheaded by the President and the Minister themselves, then all of them were only getting hold of their parts to do an performed them without much questions about it. But as they all were able to glimpse through the details of the project, all of the cabinet members were astounded by the sheer sized of everything related to the project itself.“Currently…our Ministry has spend a total of 500 million credits on the entire project itself..and these spending were inclusive for the entire thing…from the employee salary all the the way to our materials…and we estimated we need to spend 500 million or more…as the project went on…”. (Minist
Hearing that money wise issues is not at all a problem for Aeternum, everyone is finally assured that it is not at all a problem for Aeternum government. Their worries is understandable, after all in these current era, people of power is known to always become a foolish and greedy when it comes to money and riches. But Aeternum has never once skip on their promise to pay, no matter what, so although they fear of not being paid, they also feared that they country might fall into bankruptcy, by then they are for sure not getting paid at all. Still hearing that the Funding were backup by the Aeternum Royal Family, then they were more assured than ever, because after all, the richest family in the entire Aeternum, is the royal family.After all, 20% of the national income is rightfully belonged to the Royal Family, on top of that, the member if the family is the president and the minister themselves that is explained just how rich the royal family were. But for Aeternum none of them can e
After the Homeland Defense Ministry left the stage with an impressive successful report on their achievement of protecting Aeternum internal conflict. The fights against corruptions inside of all Aeternum government branch done by Mot and the Internal Affairs is something that really impressed me. The decision from me to give her the full authority and my support were right the entire time. Internal Affairs Department, is one of the department that were under by direct command, Sure their method were tyrannical, but it works perfectly and precise 100% of the time. Then again, the Anubis Demi-Human is really have a biological and suited to become a personnel that dabbed in the world of judicial and investigations works. Mot were Anubis Demi-Human too and as well as 30% of her task force.Thanks to Mot and her department, me and T.A.S were able to finds out that, some race of Demi-Human, just have a biological edge based on their race, and also it seems that their edge were somehow, hav
Now that everyone knows that Ministry of Defense is perhaps one of the top 3 busiest Ministry in Aeternum government. Peoples knows about the Agriculture Region Operations as well as the Inhabour City dungeon eradication operations, but they never thought that Aeternum longest border, which is also labeled as Border Zone B, that is the Alemia Nation and Shark Region border line is quite busy. Unbeknownst to many, the border line between the 2 country is very active, despite the order of that border is being close. Now people were able to catch a glimpse just how active the things are.“Currently in the border zone B…our border defense is constantly active..engaging 2 types of of apparent regular threats…the 1 st type is the monsters threats…and the second is the man made threat….Monster Stampede, has been rather frequent on Border Zone B as of lately…just last night…we have quell 3 separate stampede coming from 3 different places…and it were all determined to be coming from the Alemia
The matter of security inside of Aeternum, is by far nothing but safe and secure. There is no issues at all, even though there were multiple cases of Stampede happened inside the country, every single occasion that it happened, the military were able to handled those incidents without an issues at all. But hearing Bina, who is the Minister of Defense, said that the border zone B does not looking good at all, it was warranted for a worry. To be honest, I also wondered why does the Alemia Nations currently seems so off, actually, after the Hallerus Kingdom Civil war, I cut off Alemia Nation entirely off Aeternum, as the first phase of my retaliation. At that time, I know for certain that they are already warring against Visma Nation on the south.As per my decision to fully cutting off Alemia Nation, I pulled out everything, from aid, trade, security agreements and even all routes coming from their sides, and only open a 2 routes that passed through them, the River water ways and also t
Bina claims about the Alemia Royalty abandoning the Aeternum and Alemia Nation border line area, is perhaps true. Currently it was only their deductions and the conclusions that were made by the investigation team, but seeing the clips, I am afraid that their deductions might come true. I wondered what had happened to the Alemia Royals, these territory is rather crucial to them, not only the land there were fertile suitable for planting corps that might be enough sustained the entire country food stocks and possibly filled up their national granary. The territory also very close to Aeternum border, and before the border were closed, the nearby territory often engaged in a trades with the Shark Central City, that brought them millions of gold coins each month.To be honest, looking at the footage it was clear that even before the devastation, those once thriving towns and village were being overlooked by the Alemia Military or even their cares. I noticed that on one of the building on
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
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
