The only feasible reactions that an Alemia Royal faction loyalist can give when they heard that Duke Oliver Gust and his entire family and vassal is currently in New City instead of dying from the assassination attempts that the Hidden Hands were supposed to be success at, is nothing but slamming a fist on a table to quell their rages. Nicholas were outright baffled at what he is hearing at, Shad isnât someone that can make mistake, in fact, all of the Hidden Hands Spies werenât the type that would make a mistake on recognizing the Alemia Nation nobles, especially the one that is the entire nation should be wary and concerned about.âDuke Oliver is here?..what is he doing here?âŠdidnât he were just in his territory?âŠall of the runaways were heading to their territory!âŠso how?!âŠwhy?!!âŠ.you said that he was at the Government District right?âŠwhere is he heading towards to?..â.(Nicholas)Nicholas were on the verge of a break down, questioning everything that passed through his mind. When i
â...Greetings, Director MotâŠI never think that we would be foundâŠbutâŠApparently I were too naive for my own goodâŠ.how long has Aeternum knows about us?..â.(Nicholas)Calmly and politely, Nicholas stepped forward before Mot and asked, all the Hidden Hands spies shaking their heads for him not to do so, but Nicholas knows that if Mot were here, then it is game over for all of them, and perhaps for Alemia Nation as well.âA polite and civilized leaderâŠinterestingâŠ.we know from the startâŠ.how many of you..what you were doing..whoâs the leader and to whom you provide your services toâŠ.for a long time, I canât be bothered of your presenceâŠand we just decided to let you be by your ownâŠbut it was a different story nowâŠ.so, Nicholas, Leader of the Hidden HandsâŠyou know what is to become of you and your menâŠnow..correct?..â. (Director Of the Internal Audit, Mot)Nicholas could only swallow his bitter saliva, as he heard that this entire time, they have been in the mercy of Aeternum hands, and
In the hidden dark of Aeternum sunny sides, a purge were currently in progress. With the Internal Audit Department, getting a direct order from the Ventral Government Ministry. All of Alemia Nation related organization that were working against Aeternum interest, were all being hunted down and destroyed, without any mercy at all and all of them were prosecuted and trial on the spot. Although the order were to simply just kill and purge everything, Mot as the Director of the Internal Audit herself, refuses to just committing mass genocide without a proper protocol, she would follow her rules and the law to the letter, that is just the way she is, Still despite, that legal following protocol, everything still moving on smoothly.âSister Elijah, my department has purged, hunted down, prosecuted and confiscated, almost all of the Alemia Nation related organization, be it the spies or their dirty Dark OrganizationsâŠ.Seriously sisterâŠwhy have you decided to let this kind of people in our co
At the Broadcast centre, things is already moving fast, everyone were busy since the President himself has set foot in the building and has been working for a full day and now entering the second day already. There were a lot to do when it comes to convincing a lot of people at the same time, whilst everyone were doing their part, naturally one of the most essential part of the entire thing also had to worked hard. That âs why, Paul, Quara Raedrim and President Mies has been working at full capacity. Thankfully the search for the new news anchor that will be colouring the Aeternum new type of entertainment, has already been picked.âDamon Oak is really unexpectedly charmingâŠfor a Dwarf he sure is good lookingâŠâ.(Paul)âThatâs trueâŠI like himâŠhe is what a personification of a Dwarf should be likeâŠMagnificent fiery red beard, rough looks and excellent deep voiceâŠthat guy is perfect..â.Me and Paul were talking about the new news anchor that passed the audition today. His name is Damon O
Excessive words and expression werenât much needed between me and Mot, we both can just sit here at the edge of the studio and looked at people, for hours if we wanted to, She especially loved it. She told me once that she liked being around me, and didnât mind just be with me all day. But after we got passed our earlier days and now everyone has their own works and responsibility, she limited herself to be with me to at least once a month. Anubis Demi-Human race, is unique, the were emotionless and also do not have any sexual urges at all, they just live In any form and style the like. And apparently, what is better for an Aeternum Anubis race is that, they dedicated their dedication to the benefits of Aeternum, but for Mot, she dedicated her life for me. So the least that I can do for her is fulfill her needs.âDid you already done with cleaning New City?..â.â...Yes, I didâŠExecuted the all leaders, and also 200 members of themâŠand I also left 30 of them aliveâŠjust like Sister Elija
Meanwhile at the Gust Family Mansion, today their day started perfect. In the morning, the whole family, including the vassal and their family were all moving together in a large groups like a tourist groups. Instead of just driving their carriages or take a taxi like they all used to. Duke Oliver Gust went out of his way, to spend his fortune and appreciate and celebrated the momentous day, by renting an Aeternum Double Decker bus, 2 of them in fact, to use as their vehicles for the entire day. They moved like the super rich naturally, but nevertheless it a happy moment for every single one of them because they were now going to be an Aeternum citizen, finally.For Duke Oliver Gust and his family and vassals, this is something that needed to be celebrated. They have dreamed to be apart of Aeternum and itâs culture and now they are finally being accepted into the fold, in the midst of this trying times. It was a great opportunity and honour to them. Naturally the entire thing proceeds
It was definitely an actions that provoked an awkward response from anyone that has to face it upfront. Thankfully, for Duke Oliver Gust, Vice Manager Leah Willow is a person that is well versed in communication with nobles such as duke himself, laughing. Smiling or anything that isnât a replies to his enthusiasms is something that can be easily led the Nobles to react hostile, thus as always, Leah Willow naturally treated him with utmost professionalism.â..Of course, it is possible, Great SirâŠnow If you will, please follow meâŠwe have prepared a special venues to accommodates your registry in an utmost comfort..man as your stature in Aeternum is quite rare..it is only appropriate we treated you and your entourage accordinglyâŠâ.( ARCB Vice Manager Leah Willow)â..a bit excessive..but I do understandâŠhahaha..â.(Duke Oliver Gust)To Duke replies, Leah Willow just smiles. They know that nobles are just too arrogant, especially when in a place of high establishment like this bank, the dif
All this time, it can be said that the Gust Family, has been experiencing Aeternum luxurious lifestyles, although they were an Alemia Nation people, they spend their fortune here, in New City most of the time. But even if it was so, they were just experiencing the lifestyles, not truly living the lives, of a true Aeternum high end people. So even if they were rich, there were a lot of services and places that they cannot even enter with just how much prestige they have, no matter how hard they tried to do so, no one would complied to their needs if they didnât match the qualifications. And Aeternum did not compromise those that do not follow their rules, it as simple as that.One of the privileges that the Gust family has been dreaming of getting for quite sometime, is one of it is owning an Aeternum Magic Vehicles. Since the release and introductions of Aeternum Magic Vehicles to the masses, everyone wants to have them in their possessions. Especially the rich and the nobles, Duke Ol

At first, even with professional teams and structured matches, the stadiums werenât full. People didnât understand why they should care. But then⊠he first matches were broadcasted on television.

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.âIf there are no theaters, thereâs no audience.âRight now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldnât come from just our own populationâit 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 splitâ40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
âComing Soon: Aeternumâs First Movie â Directed by the President Himself!âThe public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.âDid you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!ââI donât even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!ââThey say itâs like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?âThe excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intriguedâthey, 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 Aeternumâs military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."Itâs like Iâm standing there with them!"

âFor the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angelaâas seen through the lens of Aeternum television!â Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternumâs 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 gloryâwith an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.âI never thought Iâd be able to see another country without having to travel!â a young boy marveled, watching from his familyâs living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angelaâs own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. âIs this how they see us? We look so⊠so old-fashioned compared to them!âHis companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. âThe
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizensâa marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Miesâ 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 worldâs first television.At Angelaâs Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.âIs this⊠some kind of moving painting?â an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. âGrandpa, look! The picture is⊠changing!âThe crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternumâs most famous radio hosts.âGreetings, citizens of Angela!â DJ Skellyâs booming voice echoed across the plaza. âToday 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, Angelaâs Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternumâs Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.âYou train your men well,â Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternumâs soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. âEfficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.âAngelaâs soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternumâs 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 Angelaâs government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angelaâs Royal Palace, the nationâs ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.âI must admit,â Minister Jean-
âSoâŠâ Baroness Elise folded her arms. âAre you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?ââPrecisely,â Lionel said. âLook, my friendsâtradition 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?âThe Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. âDamn⊠I hate to admit it, but youâre right.âDuke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. âIt seems we have much to reconsider.âLionel smirked. âThatâs the first step to success. Now⊠shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?âBy the time Angelaâs 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
