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
After all the pleasantries is passed with, it was time to get into the true conversation that seems to have been bothering Duke Oliver Gust quite a lot. I noticed his rather odd behaviour from before, from the moment I saw him he seems a little bit off, his usual confident self is somewhat waver. Also both of his wives, is also quite shaken a little bit, so does Student Francesca, she is usually mirrors my behaviour, being objective and unfazed, I sees Francesca a lot in this mansion of mine, she and Adriana Jelina often sent Yggdrasil home. Turns out, both her and Adriana Jelina is already close friend with Yggdrasil, so in returns I usually teach Francesca Oliver a few things and guided her and give her a chance to grow into a fine future leader.But today, she seems a little bit shaken, like she were worrying about something and I am sure it was because of her family. Now that I remember what Mot said to me earlier, she had met with Duke Oliver whilst she was hunting down the spies
Duke Oliver asked me why not just wiped everything that bothers me, he is really a straight forward person he is wise, but at some region, he is just not very good in some of things. On the other hands, Countess Sarra Gust his wife seems to picked up something from my words and her expression is that of understanding of Aeternum approach. Seems like Jelina is correct about her, this second wife of the Duke is quite a charmer for Aeternum style of governance.“Dear…if A.C.I.A just decided to just demolish everyone…then Aeternum will get a bad reputation and disagreement from everyone…they would all backed out and started to fall out of line..people need a hopes..even if that hopes is an empty ones….beside, from their own spies…we can control what they can know or not…it is much simpler that way…”.(Countess Sarra Gust)“So..it is better for them to get something that they thought they got it with their own efforts…while in actuality it was something that WE gave them instead…just so the
Meeting with me, I supposed has eased quite a lot of tension in the Gust Family, I supposed, because today they are already resuming their halted activity. Also, Gust Family really are quite rich, in just a single day, they have deposited roughly about 100 million credits into their family main account, on top of that they are already in their shopping spree, buying cars and everything. Perhaps, the Gust Family, already entering the top 1 percent wealthiest family in Aeternum, despite them not even opening a business or anything. When their Eastern Territory were brought in, with the abundance of their mines there. Even the Monti Family who is now, the mogul of Aeternum private constructions business might have to yield their richest family status to Gust Family.“Looks like someone is enjoying their time to the fullest…”.“They did, they even bought a lot of high end furniture's to bring back to their territory..which cost hundreds of thousands…”.(Andrea)Right now, in my office I a
When it comes to the refugee situation in Aeternum, such problem rare got settled at all, every day the numbers of refugees that comes to Aeternum only increase, it never goes down. And naturally as for Aeternum benefits, we never really turned them down at all, we accept all that we can, because the added numbers of new population would always helped Aeternum to grow even bigger and provided Aeternum with a lot of benefits. Up until now, The Alemia Nation and Aeternum border, or the Eastern border of Aeternum as we called it. Has been shut tight under my direct order, it was for Aeternum protection from the pest at the Alemia Nation.Due to the Crown Prince Amariss betrayal and the non responsive Queen Romella about the entire thing. I have decided to just barred them from access to Aeternum, which I am certain the effects has not only cause a lot of negativity going on in the nation, but also has made them loss quite a lot of their finance. Refusing to not just barred the entire nat
“Yeah..let’s do that……Sareen, Call Director Paul from the Entertainment and Broadcast Department..and also call Selie too…”.“[Yes, Sir…understood]”. (Lieutenant Colonel Sareen)Upon my agreement, with Mina suggestions, I intercom Sareen with the phone on my desk and have her call the 2 person for this plan at once. Rather than leaving this matter just sat like this, it was much better to do it now, this situation has been brewing a little bit too long. Beside some starting good publicity is something that is always welcome right now, quite honestly we re going to start the chain of plans to invade the Alemia Nation with a righteous attitude.Lieutenant Colonel Selie is someone that is just qualified enough to represent the Central Government Ministry. I know that Elijah we busy and so does everyone else in the Ministry. They are right now are dropping in Agents into the Alemia Nation, they were at the initial phase of their mission, so I don’t want to bothers them too much. As
“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
