Governor Countess Jelina right now, can be considered as the Gust Family biggest benefactors, ally and also backers in Aeternum. Gust Family, relies on her to relay any information that is considered secrets within the Government and also they relied on her judgement in many matters, whilst also learned the ways of navigating inside of Aeternum governance. The way of Aeternum governance runs things are very different from any method that the Gust Family knows. Favour is barely working, becoming a lackeys doesn’t work at all, kissing up is doing nothing at all. The way things works is very different, and it takes times to full understand the new ways. That is why, no matter what it is, Duke Oliver will always think the bad first before the goods. And today that is the case of it.“[What do I think about your situation?….well…first of all…what did Director Mot said to you when you meet her?..]”.(Governor Countess Jelina)“Well…she doesn’t really say much…she just told me there is Alemia
The Infamous Internal Audit department, is only famous within Aeternum only, and not to the outside world, after all, it was a domestic department after all, their existence should only be knows to only Aeternums only, but it was all thanks to this department that Aeternum is basically corruption free. Everything were kept in order and made sure that everything were moving well, without any issues at all. Duke Oliver considered this as his new lesson as he know were going to work for Aeternum, after all once he became the governor, whether he wanted it or not, the Internal Audit Department is one of the many department that he has to work with.“Thank you…Jelina…if it’s not because of your reassurance…I might still be in panic because all of this fiasco that those Alemia nobles and royals doing….”.(Duke Oliver Gust)“[Don’t mentioned it….it was my pleasure to do so, to my new colleague after all….also, so..now you already brave enough..to use the words ‘those’ for the Alemia people hu
“Does Princess Yggdrasil really that influential?…”.(Duke Oliver Gust)“[The Aeternum Cathedral of Faith appointed her as the High Priestess, The first and largest shopping mall were named after her, and the President and the Ministers created a cafe and restaurant just for her…so…that alone explained how she were dotted by not just her parents but the entire country…if she says ‘you’re bad person’ in public…best belief even an old grandmother would beat you with her cane to death..she is that much powerful…]”.(Governess Countess Jelina)“Oh…that is…something to take note of…”.“[Of course…but don’t worry, she is still a kind hearted child…often sees everyone in a good light no matter what…she often comes to my office to play, in the Black House…so..for that words…you can think of it as you like…..oh make sure that she is happy with you…don’t feed her to many sweets…if you do, then Minister Rafaela will be angry at you…and make sure to escort her back to the Aeternum Royal Palace befo
A few minutes ago, the entire Gust Family were in chaos, all thanks to their own jumping conclusions and panic attacks. But now right after the call with the Governess Countess Jelina everything were alright, everyone were calm and already back to their routine. They know now to not panic and rather than just assume something, they learned to wait and actually finds out what is going on properly, doing thing the Aeternum kind of way. Since everything has calmed down, the Duke, Countess Sarra and Francesca Oliver came down to the Mansion Garden to meet with Princess Yggdrasil. After all they as the now loyal subjects has to introduced themselves to her, because now, it was their duty to protect and served their new lords and family.Duchess Cassi were attending Princess Yggdrasil really well, she almost like her temporary baby sitter right now, caring her with attention and love, she played along with her, in whatever she does, and not only that. The 2 of them were becoming quite close
At this point, whenever something profound comes from the Princess mouth, is something that no one would take lightly at all. They all knew that the Princess is someone that is truly befitted her place and crown, although she was a little bit innocent all the time, her words carries some weight. And when she speaks about death, she really meant it, she is warning Countess Sarra Gust about her behaviour towards her. She knows that the Countess did not meant ill will towards her, and she knows what the Countess is trying to do, which is determining her values in Aeternum, and she straight up told her not to do it to her.“Princess, What do you mean, that Vice President Elijah loves, Snakes minded people?..”.(Duke Oliver Gust)He knows his second wife, is a calculated and also knows how to scheme, but nevertheless she is a great wife, woman and mothers. She is kind and gentle, only acted hostile to her enemies. And such classification from the princess is not a harmful words to her or th
As soon as the car pulled over in front of the Palace entrance, Knight Mathild, were fast to opened the door to the Princess side, has her habit were to jumped out as soon as she arrived as she always does. As a great bodyguard she knows this as a part of her routine, and never wanted to impede her mood at all. 2 rows of professional butler and maids were lined up on the both side of the red carpet leading to the Palace front door, a magnificent shows and tradition. That shocked the Gust family as soon as they saw this views.It is not easy or cheap to have a professionally trained maids and butlers, with a perfect aspect on all of their profession aspect. It was a perfect display of not only servitude but also professionalism, even most royals did not have this kind of wealth to have such privileges. This naturally stunned the Gust family, moreover for Duke Oliver Gust, Duchess Cassi and Countess Sarra, they were stunned when they saw, an old gentleman waiting at the door. The man we
The Gust Family is currently enjoying their time, visiting the Aeternum Royal Palace, everyone were welcoming to them and what is more that, the Palace head butler, Alfred Monticello were there to accommodate them entirely, letting them know and learned about the Royal family and history. It was like a study visit for everyone, since the palace has a lot of Aeternum historical artifact of display, which most of them is Aeternum earliest developed tech items. Everyone were peeling their eyes with amazement the entire time, it was certainly enjoyable, but above all, Duke Oliver Gust he come here actually in hope of meeting with the President.Since he was here, why not speaks with him about the earlier matter, and clear everything up. It is much better this way rather than assuming things and hoping everything to be just fine. But, even if this was the Aeternum Royal Palace, meeting a royalty that lived in it, is not so easy, it was the same as every royal family out there, Aeternum als
For the Gust Family, who is now in audience with the President of Aeternum, they were all on their toes, after all this is their new lord. For President Mies, this is a rather surprising situations, for them to actually meet with Yggdrasil and bring her home. Earlier today, this family were the target of assassination of their previous nation, intelligence organization. The Intelligence organization that hailed from Alemia Nation were already being squashed by now, all the Alemia Nation intelligence network in New City has all been destroyed just a few minutes ago, and now the operation has spread to all over Aeternum, which a full complete elimination might be done in tomorrow or the day after.“Seeing you here, Duke Oliver..is rather surprising to me…I never thought I would see you today…oh, Student Treasury Francesca..it’s nice to see you again, young lady….did, our Princess being a troublemaker today as well?..”.“It is nice meeting you again, Your majesty…Princess Yggdrasil is al
“T.A.S.,”Mies Sai said, his tone shifting to one of command,“Open the communication line to the admiral.”Within seconds, the image of Admiral Duchess Kolarova appeared on the screen. Dressed in her pristine navy uniform, her sharp features exuded authority and confidence.“Admiral,”Mies Sai began,“I want your fleet to break away from the southern troops and position yourselves for long-range artillery bombardment. Your fleet’s firepower is unmatched, and I want the enemy to understand the futility of their resistance.”Kolarova saluted crisply.“Understood, Mr. President. The fleet will move into position immediately.”“Additionally,”Mies Sai continued,“Prepare to launch one small missile during the bombardment. It’s not about destruction—it’s about sending a message. Let the enemy see what they’re up against.”A sly smile crossed Kolarova’s lips.“Consider it done, sir. The missile will remind them why Aeternum is a force to be reckoned with.”The Aeternum Royal Navy, with its
“Mama, will the President make our whole country like Brighthelm?”The mother smiled, tears glistening in her eyes.“Yes, my child. He will. And no one will ever hurt us again.”An older man, a former soldier of Alemia’s army, clenched his fists.“This is what we’ve been waiting for. Aeternum doesn’t just bring soldiers—they bring hope. Let them march. Let them finish this.”For the Aeternum soldiers, the atmosphere was one of steely determination. The order had come down from the President himself: March forward. No more stops. No more delays. The war ends now.In the Eastern front, soldiers moved in unison, their steps a rhythmic cadence that mirrored their collective resolve. Vehicles rolled steadily forward, their engines humming a low, determined growl. Tanks, Humvees, and armored carriers trailed the long columns of soldiers, while helicopters hovered overhead, their shadows dancing on the ground.Inside one of the vehicles, a young recruit turned to his comrade.“Do you think w
“Madam Vice President, all personnel have boarded. The airships are ready for departure.”Elijah turned to him, her expression one of quiet determination.“Good. Ensure they have a secure flight. The success of this mission doesn’t just depend on the battlefield—it hinges on our ability to stabilize Alemia the moment it falls.”As the airships began to lift off, Elijah clasped her hands behind her back, watching the fleet ascend into the sky. She allowed herself a brief moment of satisfaction. Aeternum’s reach was about to extend further than ever before.In a private moment, Elijah returned to the War Room and gazed at the holographic map of Alemia Nation. The Central Region, highlighted in red, was slowly being surrounded by the advancing Aeternum forces.T.A.S, the President’s sentient AI, chimed in through the room’s speakers.“Madam Vice President, all preparations are proceeding according to plan. Victory is statistically inevitable.”Elijah smirked.“It’s not just about victory
The café, with its elegant glass windows and flourishing ivy, was abuzz with its usual morning crowd. However, one table in the corner stood out. Crown Princess Angela, seated with her usual poise, sipped her chamomile tea as she addressed the gathering of foreign dignitaries.Around her sat Countess Hessina Redwall of the Setting Sun Kingdom, a cunning diplomat who rarely minced words, Princess Yuneda Crystal of the Giant Lake Crystal Duchy, known for her charm and pragmatism, and Princess Nelly Nirewin of the Kingdom of Nirewin, a fiery orator with a sharp tongue. Despite their differences in personality and origin, all shared one thing in common: their countries' fates were intertwined with Aeternum’s ambitions.Angela placed her teacup gently on the saucer and let her steely gaze sweep across the table.“Ladies, let us dispense with pretenses,”she began, her voice firm but elegant.“Today marks the beginning of a new era—not just for Aeternum, but for the entire Central Continent
In bustling city squares, people gathered around public radios and large screens broadcasting the speech. Patriotic songs erupted spontaneously, as street performers played instruments, and the crowds joined in singing with fervor. The sight of Aeternum’s blue-and-gold banners fluttering in the wind became a symbol of hope and unity.For Alemia immigrants like Dario, a young carpenter who fled his homeland years ago, the news hit like a thunderbolt. Dario’s hands trembled as he gripped the edge of the workbench he was leaning on.“They’re going to free it,”he whispered, disbelief coloring his voice. His coworker, an Aeternum citizen, clapped him on the back and said with a wide grin,“Not ‘they.’ We are going to free it.”Dario smiled for the first time in years, tears glistening in his eyes.“Yes. We are.”For the millions of Alemia refugees living in Aeternum, this was a moment of vindication. They had fled their homeland in search of safety, many of them leaving loved ones behind.
“Good afternoon, citizens of Aeternum, people of Alemia, and brave soldiers of our army.Today, we stand at the cusp of history. Today, we march towards the final chapter of a war that should never have been necessary but became inevitable due to the greed, corruption, and incompetence of Alemia’s rulers.For too long, the so-called leadership of Alemia Nation has plagued this continent with its tyranny. Their greed led them to exploit our kindness, pillage our ships, and harm our people. For months, they ransacked our trade routes and embezzled millions of gold coins from our donations meant to help their suffering people. They took what was given freely and returned betrayal.But this war is not only about Aeternum’s justice. It is about liberating a land that has been drowning in oppression for decades. Alemia’s nobles and leaders have ruled with fear, corruption, and cruelty, subjecting their people to a life of suffering, where crime and evil fester unchecked. Their governance ha
“Enough,”I said, my tone firm but calm.“I understand your frustrations, but we must remain focused. This isn’t about them—it’s about us and the legacy we’re building.”Bina and Lucas nodded, though their anger was still palpable. Eliza wiped a tear of laughter from her eye, her grin fading as she straightened up.“We’ll use this situation to our advantage,”I continued.“Their incompetence is our opportunity. At 1:00 PM, we’ll begin the march towards the Central Region. Every front will advance simultaneously, stopping just 2 kilometers from Alemia Capital City.”The generals listened intently as I outlined the next steps.“When we reach that point,”I said, my voice carrying the weight of the moment,“I will address the nation through a live broadcast on Aeternum Media. The people need to see our resolve, our strength, and our commitment to ending this war. This isn’t just about conquering Alemia—it’s about uniting this land under the banner of peace, stability, and progress.”Bina
“You’re telling me this is the actual state of their forces?”Selie nodded, her expression unwavering.“Yes, sir. I confirmed all the information personally during the mission, and cross-referenced it with Count Dracul’s intelligence. The data is accurate.”The absurdity of the report was almost too much to process. According to the findings, the Crown Prince Amaris and Queen Romella’s forces were in complete disarray. Each side could barely muster 10,000 combat-ready soldiers, and those were in poor condition. Their leadership was non-existent, their strategies laughable, and their morale utterly shattered.“It’s like they’re begging to lose,”I said incredulously, setting the report down.“How did they even make it this far?”“They haven’t, sir,”Selie replied with a faint smirk.“They’re just floundering, hoping to outlast one another. Both sides are puppets, controlled by the nobles and vassals around them who are more interested in their own power plays than the war itself.”I le
“Summarize the troop positions and supply lines,”Selie instructed Maiden Aria, who was already pouring over a detailed map of the city.“Yes, ma’am,”Aria replied, her voice calm and professional. Meanwhile, Maiden Liana compiled a list of key figures within the enemy forces, cross-referencing them with the profiles provided by Count Dracul.“Do we need to wake the President?”Victoria asked as she filed her portion of the report. Selie shook her head.“No. The situation doesn’t warrant it. This is less of a war and more of a clean-up operation. The enemy forces are barely worth the effort. We’ll brief him in the morning.”The Maidens nodded in agreement, their movements efficient and precise as they continued organizing the information. Selie couldn’t help but feel a mix of satisfaction and disappointment as she reviewed the compiled intelligence. The state of the Crown Prince Amaris and Queen Romella’s forces was abysmal.“The Crown Prince’s forces are exhausted, demoralized, and p
