The crowds at the New City International Airport were in their all time high tense, they already caught a glimpse of the President that is clearly bound on the wheelchair at the moment, although the sight of the Royal Family of Aeternum greeting and welcome him home were touching, still many were still worried to see that their President isn’t looking as well as he does when he left, but the crowd were still polite and orderly, patient as they were waiting for the President to do his welcome home conference, that has been promised by the Radio news earlier last night. And soon enough, the crowds inside the Airport finally caught the glimpse of the President, the Royal Family brought him together with them to the stage that were prepared for the press conference.“Oh look!..it was His Highness president!..awww…look he was holding Princess Yggdrasil!…what a loving scene…I must get this picture!…..”.(Angel City News Journalist)“Although he was seems to be bound on the wheel chai
Hearing that the Vice President Elijah stood up at the podium and thanking the masses for their attendance is really a touching moment for Aeternum people, this kind of royalty that thanks their people for just a little things were very rare for many people of the other nations or just to the masses of these world. But that was making the Aeternum Royalty different and likeable to their people and the masses, they were not like any other royalty, they were approachable and kind, which is an enigma to many and also enviable, and the people response to their calling is also odd, the people truly respect and loved their royalty unlike in many other nations.“People of Aeternum…these last few days has been an harrowing experience to us…yesterday, we almost lost our Beloved President..I along with my sisters and also our Princess were almost feeling lost, as we saw..our beloved almost lost his life…and so, I can say truly…to the family that lost their son or father..in yesterday incident…I
Aeternum witnessed as the President that were getting helped by his Ministers slowly getting used to the situations. This entire time that he was seemingly pushing himself to stand and looked just fine to the public, everyone that lays their eyes on him, got a feeling that his conditions were not ideal at all for doing this talk. Many were shouting asking him not to force himself for doing this, and just for him to take care of his health and rest earlier. The people has caught a glimpse of him and that was enough for them already, there is no use to force more of an injured man that is just get out of war. But despite the people, cries, the President just simply smiled at all of those that were shouting and just waved at them, and Finally after a full 2 minutes of setting up and preparation, the President finally begin his speech.“...Greeting’s my People…Aeternums of all age, and also to those that were listening to my speech today..at home or at work…or wherever you are, through t
Before the entire crowds, I decided to recounted everything that had happened during the war, explaining every single bits of it and made everyone be able to imagined what is happening during the war. This entire time that I were speaking everyone were keeping their silence and listened to me well. Not a single voice can be heard other than mine, I am sure the same thing can be seen on all the radio listeners as well. I depicted how harsh the battle was, and just how many Aeternum lives were lost in that battle, stopping a few time to catch my breath or cough, then to be consoled by Elijah again and again, but I pushed through an told every story. In a sense, my words, were simple, the battle were a surprised, we were caught of guard, but we won at the end.Naturally I also reminded everyone time and time again, that Aeternum had paid fees for toll to use the rivers and protection when using it, and the Alemia Nation has not only accepted the fees, but also attacked Aeternum fleets mu
Intentionally as I were already speaking about many of the true nature of the situations and who is the one that is responsible on the attacks, people’s mind has started to charged themselves and they started to think on what should be done. I know that many of them already started to think that the best thing to deal with Alemia Nation is to truly dealt with them with war and total domination. Knowing that even after a civilized action has been taken, the Alemia Nation still did not honour what is supposed to be respected. Meaning words and agreements is totally useless with them, and all that Aeternum should do to protect it’s interest is to just takes the matter into it’s own hands.But, naturally I did not mentioned anything about me or Aeternum thinking about going to war, nor even saying of intent to do any such things. If I did said such things at these moment, that it can be easily interpreted that I am just bummed about the entire thing and now eager to just fight. That is no
As soon as Elijah done with saying the past part of her speech we all leave the Airport at once, no longer gave anyone a chance to hold our back and asked more questions to us. After all, nowadays, the Journalist, especially those that were from the other nation, is not already started to embodied their journalist nature and sometimes just went ahead and asked their question, barely able to hold themselves back. Besides the paper journalist from the other nation isn’t just some normal journalist, they also an informant for their nation. All foreign journalist that worked for their newspaper is working directly under their government.Under my advice, all of Aeternum allied nation had their own news paper company and it was owned and managed by their government. It was so that the news is much more credible and also the government can control what information they wanted to release, I gave them this idea and power to do so and all of them naturally loved it. But since many of the juicy
In terms of a new young generation of leadership in Aeternum we do need those that are different, and in Aeternum there is not a lot of people that were stand out from the many, and a lot of those people that do stand out from many is those that are really talented and deserved to be given a chance. Aeternum is not a simple nation, I made it with a lot of things that set it apart from the common medieval nation, in this era, especially the educational part, in Aeternum all of it’s citizens were educated and only about 1% of the population weren’t able to read whilst the rest can. This numbers can’t even be achieved by the other nation. Aeternum is a nation of the educated, but even so, not many were able to think outside of the box.So when there is someone that were able to think differently from anyone else that were all educated, then that person is definitely have some talent that can be utilized. Elijah is not one to not easily missed out a talent and not used it, whenever someon
Inside the Aeternum Presidential Palace, Right after the president has arrived, the entire palace were in a peaceful vibes, for the maids, butlers and all the Palace staff, this peaceful vibes is something that they haven’t felt for far too long, especially when the news if the president get harmed, that day, was gloomy for the entire Palace, were everyone were walking on eggshells. But today, everything were serene. A lot of security as well as the medical staffs were inside the palace at whole time. Right outside the President bedroom, The Royal family members can be seen waiting, as soon as the doctors and the nurse got out, one of the doctor went to face, Elijah.“Is everything done, Doctor?..”.(Elijah)“It is, Madame Vice President…we have done all we can for now, we correct all the stitches, cleaned the wound and changed everything anew….Beside, with Minister Rafaela healing magics…the President is a good as new now…But he still need to rest for at least 2 days, before diving
At the city square, a young boy tugged on his mother’s sleeve, pointing to the horizon.“Mama, is it true? Are they here to save us?”The mother, her eyes brimming with tears, nodded.“Yes, my child. Aeternum is here. We are saved.”As the Aeternum Army drew closer, their banners unfurled, and the symbol of Aeternum—a golden tree encircled by a shining sun—fluttered proudly in the wind. The soldiers marched in unison, their disciplined movements a stark contrast to the chaos that had gripped the city for so long.In the midst of the approaching forces, the Dragon One Airship hovered like a mighty eagle surveying its prey. Onboard, Mies Sai stood at the helm, his eyes fixed on the Alemia Capital City.“This is it,”he said softly, his voice carrying a weight that no one else could fully understand. Beside him, Lt. Colonel Selie and T.A.S. stood ready, their expressions mirroring his determination.“Mr. President,”Selie said, her voice firm but reverent,“Your orders?”Mies Sai glanced
“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
