One can easily see that once Duke Oliver entered the room the atmosphere were turning a little bit lighter, this is his specialty so to say, the old man were just a bundle of light hearted happiness. He is that amiable to everyone, always smiling, he was like that fun and kind uncle that everyone likes to be around with. Which is also set him apart from many of the Alemia Nation nobles or perhaps many noble, he is the rare breed that never really looked in one origin and treated everyone with fairness and kindness, he is a perfect kind of person to be amidst Aeternum figure of power, he is loyal, humble and also followed the book by an extreme. Thanks to him, the Gust Territory has in-doctrine Aeternum law and customs completely, as he finds is that Aeternum rules and customs were just nothing but truth and goodness in it.“The last time that we meet, I remember that you were still just a normal squad leader….looks like someone got promoted recently…”. (Duke Oliver Gust)“It was all t
Project Conqueror is a large scale plan for a large scale invasion, so naturally the planning were also involved in many aspect. So Duke Oliver Gust role in these project is both as an aide and also for him to be the governor of Alemia Nation as soon as the invasion is over. So for the early on, his image has to be created as someone of the remnant of the old Alemia Nation, someone who is still up standing and wasn’t corrupted, of which acknowledge by many, to take the mantle of protecting Alemia Nation and also to rule it under Aeternum. Aeternum in the context of this invasion would act in a retaliation to Alemia Nation provocation and acted to be it’s cleanser, and then Duke Oliver Gust would step up as the calming effect to the entire thing and stopped the onslaught.The plan was, when I were ‘attacked’ and the news broke out, there will be a wide spread panic that would encompassed not only Aeternum but also Alemia Nation, for Aeternum it was feared for the lives of their preside
What agent Marisko said were right, when everything were in motion, the Alemia Nation were only been given illusion that they, were able to defend themselves and perhaps attacking Duke Oliver Gust territory or even just have time before Aeternum comes and take actions. While in reality, everything will me in motion, as soon as everything happened. Compared to many people in these world no one has a scheming perfection just like Aeternum had. I have no worries at all, that the plan would go awry, but rather I am very excited at the prospect of war, where Aeternum would be able to expand itself even more.“That’s right, Oliver,…you don’t have to worry about getting attacked by the 2 faction at all…Your territory will received a protection and backup from the Royal Navy and Eloesa Army…”.“That is very reassuring to hear…but what of the Southern Region side?…”.(Duke Oliver Gust)It was warranted to be worried of the aspect of war, losing soldier is something that is worrisome after all.
My brief and short meeting with Duke Oliver Gust is not the only meeting that I have had for these whole passed week, I meet with Elijah and all the others as well, while I was still based on the Eastern Border Base. I have relocated from the Eastern Border Base to the Eastern Military Base since Tuesday, since I will be holding a few more important and sensitive topic with the members of the government I was much better to hold it on a secure location. Everything regarding the ‘Project Conqueror’ were talked and discussed, just to make sure that everyone would be ready at once. As there would be an expected casualties when the ambushed takes place. Naturally it will be a controlled casualties and the casualties that will be made will not at all impacted Aeternum government in any formed at all.“Your Highness President, all the Inmates has been placed on the Treasured ships….currently they were under a strict control on the Navy officers..”.(Navy Staff Captain Genoa)As I were in the
Meanwhile at the Aeternum Treasury ship no.0, the vibes on the ships is slightly rowdy but at the same time also very orderly. The ship main essential were all protected and controlled by all Aeternum Navy sailors, the ships is naturally operated by the Aeternum Navy, but at the same time, it was also filled with with Prisoners, on this particular ship on the top deck of the ships can be seen a lot of people, and 95% of them is actually just criminals and prisoners. Not a single one of the Prisoners knows as to why they were truly being sent here at all. Yesterday all of them were an inmates in Aeternum Correctional Prison, and the next thing they know they were sent here by the Fearsome prison warden and the strong policemen and they were told that they would be performing their correctional duty, and that is to assist with operating a ship to traverse from Aeternum to Eloesa City.All of the prisoners here were all just low life criminals, they were all a criminals that has performe
There is 4 total ships that would be involved in the Inspection tour from Aeternum Central Shark City to the Eloesa City, with the public aims is to inspect the river routes and also delivering a few important items from the Aeternum Mainland to the Kingdom of Eloesa. There is only a single modern ships in the entire fleet of 4, that modern ship is the Coastal Patrol ship types from the Coast Guard, of which that I bought on earth before, the ship were fully geared up and armed to the teeth, ready for combat. As for the other 3 ships were the slow moving medieval wooden ships caravel, naturally it was all fitted with Magic Sails, for a bit faster movement. Yes, the Sail were magically enchanted so that it would always be able to move albeit slightly faster.The remaining 3 ships were all just loaded with boxes and barrel filled with soils and sands, just to make an illusion of there is something in it. The Treasury ship, is the 3rd ship on the fleet line, and also the ship that where
The president inspection tour fleet departed from the Aeternum Eastern Military base port safely and on time, so to the said, nothing really out of the ordinary happened at all, this journey from the Eastern Border Base towards Eloesa City will take approximately 4 days. Actually the trip can be shortened to 2 days only is it was following the usual standard voyage speed, that the Aeternum ships usually does, but since these voyage has something else planned for it, naturally it would take a scenery routes to prolonged the duration of the voyage. At these time I had nothing to do at all, so I decided to do my paper work on the top deck of the Caravel, near the ship steer wheel. Below deck the Prisoners were actively still doing their work, moving barrels and crates to the lower deck. Everyone were busy doing their work, as I from time to time got a report from all the ships to make sure that I am aware of everything.“Hmm…it seems that we have to ready for road constructions on the Al
By now everyone already get the news that The Aeternum President is already on a ship and started his inspection tour towards the Kingdom of Eloesa, as last night and before the ships departed from the harbour, the radio news were covering the story very closely at all time. After the revelation of Alemia Nation story by Aeternum, people were very curious on whether Aeternum would do something immediately, but regardless of everyone anticipation. Aeternum did not do much of anything other than delivering a warning threat and then just move on with the entire thing and their day without doing much of anything at all. But no one dared to belittle Aeternum for these no existence of an action, because everyone knows that Alemia Nation needs only to slips up just once, and when they did, then everything will changed by then, now the people are paying very close attention to the entire thing, as they were just waiting for Alemia Nation to just do some stupid thing, after all, those people i
“Learn the Craft of Visual Storytelling! Enroll in the Aeternum Film Academy Today!”Students from all over Aeternum flocked to sign up. Aspiring actors hoping to be the next big star. 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.“If there are no theaters, there’s no audience.”Right now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldn’t come from just our own population—it 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 split—40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, 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 Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s 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 glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ 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 world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today 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, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s 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 Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition 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?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s 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
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
