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
In Aeternum just like on earth, I have implemented the threat level warning, from level 1 to 5, level one being just a concern, but still need to be addressed, but even if it wasn’t being dealt with, it would not do any harm, and probably just a mere destruction of buildings or just a few lost lives. A Level 5 threat, is just a nation wide destruction and extinction level threat, so to say. Which up until now has never been issued at all. So, for this matter, a threat level 2, which is a national crisis, It was appropriate. A level 2 threat is something that were always alarmed Aeternum. It was the normal warning when the Monster Stampede happened.It is also a crisis serious enough that it can kill a lot of lives and destroy a lot of things. Also it requires a lot of attention and seriousness to it, the Aeternum Masses naturally already knows this and no one ever takes this warning lightly. Therefore this is why the Threat Level 2, National Crisis were appropriate to be alarmed to th
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
