Everyone were delighted when I considered their suggestions naturally. I thought the same thing as them, they knew just how troublesome it is if there were someone that playing the string in the dark and taking advantage when everyone were busy. More over, for Elijah, Mina, Bina, Andrea and Rafaela these matter is personal to them, they knew and everyone else knew that these Dark Organization although they directed their evil towards the humans, the one that suffers the most it the Demi-Human and Non-human races. It has always been like these, not to mention that, in Alemia Nation, the population of Demi-Human and Non-Human isn’t at all small.In fact, 2/3 of the Alemia Nation population in Alemia Nation is Demi-Human and Non-Human, sadly, these population were all slaves. In Alemia Nation the human supremacy still rampant, even a farmer family usually owned 1 or 2 slaves to work for them. And as always slaves treatment is always worst, no matter where it is, especially when the owner
After a long winded lectures from Andrea lasted for dozens of minutes, the clock is now pointing at lunch time, so rather than continues the meeting with Duke Oliver Gust directly. I’ve decided to let everyone take a break for a lunch first before continuing with the meeting. I know that these meeting will be going on for an entire day, and looking at the Duke condition right now, he would find it hard to continue if he wasn’t given enough time to arranged his thought. The man already decided to betray his country after all, it must be so hard for him right now, that he had to cover them with a constant smiles and all.“So..Elijah..what do you think about him?…to be honest, I never thought that he actually proposed for us to conquer Alemia Nation at all…”.“Duke Oliver Gust, is certainly a decisive person…a little bit in flexible in many ways…but he is the kind of person that have the traditional leadership qualities..but he does work hard to renewed his mindset…which is admirable…He
Meanwhile, while the President and all the Minister were having their private lunch, Duke Oliver on the other hand were invited by Countess Jelina and Queen Aqeesha to dine elsewhere outside the Black House. Although both of the Governess, actually have their own office that includes not only room but also a Dining room for their own use, they decided, since it was a special occasion today, they will bring their new soon to be colleague to their favourite places to eat in the New City.“Isn’t that Governess Queen Aqeesha and Governess Countess Jelina?…Hello, Governess!! when I grows up I wanted to be just like you both!…after I graduated, please let me work under the Governor Office!!..”.(Enthusiastic Male Academy Student)“Sure~…make sure to study hard~..”.(Queen Aqeesha)“Thank you, Your Majesty Queen~!!..Thank you Madam Countess!!..”.(Enthusiastic Male Academy Student)Whilst all 3 of them were seated inside the Restaurant private area, there are still many people that recognized t
Who would’ve thought that both Countess Jelina and Duke Oliver daughters would be happened to meet with each other at a restaurant today. Adriana and Francesca were bring their trays and were about to sit down at their family table, which used to be empty, now it happened that their parents were actually there enjoying their foods.“Oh!…where are my manner…Greetings, Your Majesty Queen Aqeesha and Greetings, Lord Duke Oliver..it was a pleasure to meet you both today..”.(Adriana Jelina)“Greetings, Your Majesty Queen and Greetings, Madam Countess…it’s a pleasure to meet with you both today..”.(Francesca Oliver)Not forgetting their nobility customs, still with a tray full of foods in their hands they deliver their greets flawlessly. Putting a smile in Duke Oliver and Countess Jelina face.“Nice to meet you both too…Young ladies…seems like you both were about to dine as well…might as well joined us…Right, Duke Oliver, Countess?..Besides…I wanted to hear more about Our University student
As Queen Aqeesha nonchalantly talks that the Duke will soon become Aeternum 3rd Governor to both Adriana and Francesca, the correct and most appropriate reaction from them is naturally shocked and astound, that such things can even happened, Jelina Family and Gust Family were naturally close with each others, in fact, should Jelina Family does not comes under the Aeternum Governance, it was safe to say that they will become the Vassal of the Gust family. Given that fact, Adriana were closed to Duke Oliver Gust, he even acted like a father figure for her at some times, so she knows just how loyal he is to the Alemia Nation Crown.On the other hand, Francesca Oliver, Duke eldest daughter also understand just how loyal and hard headed her father are, actually the ideas of coming under the Aeternum Governance was come from her, after she was sent to New City for study and grooming, she once told her father about the idea of leaving Alemia Nation and joined Aeternum. At that time she remem
To be extremely honest, I am not really eager to conquer Alemia Nation at all. Like I have said before, I don’t want Aeternum to once again plunge into a war, right after just finishing the last one that has cause me loses. Actually, Hallerus Civil Wars barely incurs any loss to Aeternum, in fact, we gain more profits that any of the nation involved, as we secretly robbed a lot of nobles that has squandered the Hallerus Kingdom treasury. But it was also inappropriate to say that Aeternum did not lost anything, we lost a few soldiers lives and ammunition to, not to mention Aeternum pride were scarred that day.The plan initially was to let the Duke lead his men to the war, whilst Aeternum worked in the shadows to cull all the obstacle secretly. The plan was to just create a straight and easy path for the Duke Army to defeat both sides in the battles, naturally, the operation was to eliminate the high ranking officers, generals, nobles and such, thus collapsing the entire command and po
“Now that you said that…I think that is kinda of a nice idea…we have yet have the chance to see the effectiveness of out new Armada..when it was used against land target as of yet…Ah!…Rafaela, didn’t your Ministry already done with the improvement of our Magic Missile Systems?..”.“That research…and in fact all the new modification and refitted for all of our heavy ordinance and the overhaul of Aeternum Navy Armada has all been completed a month a go…it was true that we have yet checked the capability of our Water to ground capabilities as of yet…I supposed…these is a good chances to do it, Master…”.(Rafaela)Now that Bina has proposed the ideas of Using our New Armada to joined the war, I think these will work better to our side. Ever since I let out the new Navy and also all of it’s ordinance, the Research and Development Department, under Rafaela Ministry has been tasked to reformed everything and also developed everything to fit the Magic systems of these world. Since I don’t want
After the lunch time, which is quite meaningful time for Duke Oliver Gust apparently, on my side, we already pretty much discussed quite a lot about the prospect of the upcoming war and operation that would be done to conquer the Alemia Nation. Everyone right now are already basically agreed to Duke Oliver propositions. So rather than delaying anything any longer, is was just better for me to go with the flow, since there in no downside to having Alemia Nation lands as my own, in fact, it would make it much more easier for Aeternum to further develop. After all, compared to Aeternum Current land and the trajectory of every aspect, Aeternum needs more land in order to produce resource.S predicted that the current Agriculture Region that is already being used at 100% capacity, in about 30 Years or so, it would not be able to support the growing Aeternum populations. Because right now, Aeternum is on a growing path, be it development, resource consumption and the populations. The news o
At first, even with professional teams and structured matches, the stadiums weren’t full. People didn’t understand why they should care. But then… he first matches were broadcasted on television. And suddenly, everything changed.For the first time, people saw their own cities competing. New City United vs. Shark Bay FC. Ironridge Titans vs. Silverport Eagles. Blazing Tundra vs. Redwood Strikers.It wasn’t just football anymore—these were their cities, their teams, their pride. And when fans saw their teams winning, they felt the rush of victory. When they saw their teams losing, they felt the bitterness of defeat.The spark had been ignited. Soon enough… Supporters’ clubs started popping up. Fans flooded stadiums on weekends. People debated tactics in bars, cafes, and workplaces. Children started dreaming of becoming professional players.Saturdays and Sundays were now known as Football Days, where everyone tuned in to watch their favorite teams battle for supremacy.The AFL wasn’t j
“Learn the Craft of Visual Storytelling! Enroll in the Aeternum Film Academy Today!”Students from all over Aeternum flocked to sign up. Aspiring actors hoping to be the next big star. Writers eager to bring their stories to life. Technicians fascinated by the magic of film.Even our allied nations sent students, eager to learn about this new frontier of entertainment. The future of the film industry had been secured.“If there are no theaters, there’s no audience.”Right now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldn’t come from just our own population—it would come from exporting movies and cinema technology to our allied nations.And so, we struck a deal. Each allied nation would provide land and funding for the construction of cinemas. Aeternum would bring in the technology, train workers, and provide the films.The profits would be split—40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, too, wanted to witness this mysterious new form of entertainment.Shooting the movie was not easy. Unlike Earth, Aeternum had no experienced film industry professionals. Camera operators had to be trained from scratch.Actors had to learn how to deliver lines naturally instead of exaggerated stage acting. Lighting and set design had to be invented entirely from the ground up.One of my biggest struggles?Teaching the actors to not look directly at the
On screen, ANBC reporters walked the streets, interviewed important figures, and even showed battlefield footage of Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
