The Dinner between me and Queen Duchess of Angela Dukedom went off perfectly, for both the romantic side and also the business side. Naturally since we were still excited, right after dinner we ended up taking a long passionate drive before we stopped by at her hotel to dropped her off, and as for me to return home, naturally this little side escapades need to be kept secret for a little bit. Comes the morning of the next day, my day resumed as usual, I stayed in my office and do the job that meant for me as always. Since the product preparation for the Auction is already readied, the only time to wait now is for the Auction to be take place.“Did the venue already done being prepared?…we are building another building just for the Auction house right?..”.“It was already finished being constructed…our construction workers are just working on finishing the fine details…the venue would be done, by tomorrow and ready for use on the evening…”.(Andrea)Andrea,Elijah and Rafaela are right n
Today is the day when Aeternum first opened it’s Auction House, or now it was known more as the New City Auction House. I copied the design from the famous Midway Auction House, the arc way and the subtle yet giving our luxurious architectures made it only one of it’s kind in Fantasma. It screams high class even from a miles away, when one laid their eyes on it, the event would take place at the early evening, since the building exterior looked much more beautiful, with all the lighting illuminates the surrounding of the building. Looking at the crowds reactions, it was easy to see that this building has already impressive enough for Fantasma.“Hoho~…I can’t believed that they take just a few days to built something like this…it was rather enormous and also quite luxurious….now that I have been living in New City for quite sometimes now…the sight of their amazing clear glass has dulled me a little bit…Hahaha..”.(King Helberd Nirewin)“It’s Aeternum, My friend…their wealth is…well….non
The Auction house interior were massive, it was designed like an interior of a opera house, but with just 2 floor, The grand floor were filled with seats and table, which can fit hundreds of people more correctly 300 people. Each table were given a semi circle fixed sofa around the round table, all facing the stage. The table and the sofa itself were not all cheap, it was made with care and comfort in mind. On the first floor, is designated for a private reserved box, it was much more exclusive than that of the ground floor seated area, which is free for anyone to come and participate in the Auction events.For the first floor section, it was made for full privacy, that enable it’s occupants to not just have the full views of the Auction house, but also maintained their privacy and comfort. For the first floor customers they were given more service than the one on the ground floor, here they can enjoyed being anonymous in their trading if they wanted to, some people loved to be sec
The second high profile group that arrived were the ladies, Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein, Queen Zanesia Von Zaredon, Governess Countess Jelina and Duchess Cassi Gust and Countess Sarra Gust. Actually, Jelina were assigned as to be the Queen Duchess and Queen Zanesia entourage, but she brought with her the 2 Duke Oliver wives as well. Naturally the 2 wives of the Duke were also well known, after all their charity works has spread their famed of kind hearted far and wide. The group of 5 high profile ladies surely turned heads of the bystander as they arrived, after all, they were all the epitome of the matured beauty after all.“What a magnificent Auction house…surely it was one of a kinds….President Mies surely downplay everything as he said to me before..”.(Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein)“His Highness President Mies, were always like that…his standard is rather unique…he designed this building entirely by himself…it was a feat for our Construction worker to do it all….hence explain
When it was evening, my mansion were bustling with life, after all today was the supposed Auction event would take place, Elijah and the others were preparing themselves to go with me, Yggdrasil would also come as well. It was a whole family outing for us, and it was the first time that we all did so, I on the other hand since I am a man, I finished dressing far more earlier than them, it’s just that I have yet fastened my necktie as of yet. I am in the living room, currently along with Alfred as always, enjoying my Tea and also fiddling on my personal tablet that shows the Auction House exterior.“That is surprisingly a lot of people coming in…”.I watched at the tablet screen in my hand, I am rather surprised to see that the crowds were spilling all the way to the outside. What is even more impressive is that everyone were dressed formally, like it was a modern events, back on Earth. Aeternum society has truly reached a modernism outlook.“There is about 2000 people attending, Mi L
When it comes to fashion of formal event’s no one can barely topped Elijah. Her looks for tonight is dazzling and sophisticated, she were wearing a Tight fitted dress with opened back, deep V line cuts all the way to her stomach showing her toned abs, the slit cuts on her right side went as far as to reach above her hips, showing a glimpse of her string Lacey underwear as she walks. Compared to the other sisters, Elijah is very interested in fashion world, and she often consumed all the fashion materials that I brought from Earth. Hence making her with Andrea and Mina have the largest fashion brand in Aeternum for women clothing. The combination of the 3 of them had turned their passion, into a currently million credits business empire, trusted by all their customers and adored by everyone.“Chu~..like you said, Master…dressed to impressed…and form that looks of yours…I am sure that I did managed to impressed you~..”.(Elijah)“You sure did, Elijah…and by the way…You looked breathtakin
In Aeternum and for the citizens of Aeternum there is no one other than a certain type of people that can have the most glorious receptions, attentions and respect. And for the sophisticated people of Aeternum, they sees that the epitome of that high class, is the kind of treatment, the Aeternum Royal family had, wherever the go. Everyone dreamed to feel and have the same kind of treatment that the Royal family has, and as they dreamed about it, naturally they know what that kind of treatment looked like. So when a row of Black SUV roaring menacingly down the road, accompanied by The famed police Traffic on the front side and back, people instantly knew who is coming. Especially when the Famous, one an only long black Limousine, with an Royal Coat of Arms on the side of the Limousine.“Oh Look!…it was the Royal Family!!….they come!!..”.(Excited Young Adult)“Oh my god, oh mu god!….look, they finally stopped at the front entrance!..”.(Excited Couple)The sight of the Row of motorcade b
It was quite pleasing to be famous but also very respected, I doubt that there is ever Royals in Fantasma that reach the kind of admiration and stardom as me and my family. When the limo stopped at the front entrance, the Auction House staffs instantly made a 2 row of line on both side of the entrance, lining up all the way to the limo. Naturally the secret service agents also took their spot on the line and around us as per protocol. The crowd instantly went bananas when they saw all of us slowly alighting from the limo. They shouted our names and titles, then followed by words of admiration and adoration. It kinda made me feel like we were a bunch of rock star that were about to head into a concert.“Looks like everyone were happy tonight~…”.(Elijah)“It has been awhile since we all come together…naturally the people were excited..”.(Bina)Elijah and Bina were at the front most lines, they were as always displayed their elegance, and also waving at the crowds with their smiles, whil
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
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
