Of Many things that differentiate Aeternum from the many other nation, is that it’s proud culture and the sense of righteousness that has been embedded inside each and every single citizens of Aeternum. Unlike any other nation citizens, Aeternum citizens were taught and were made to know what the nation values was and they could be proud of, each and every single person knows what they wanted to live and strive for in their lives. They did not live aimlessly and just willing to survived day to day just like any other citizen of other nation out there. And this path of lives were made very clear in Aeternum Military that were raised by hands by the President himself.In his teaching as he rose the now famous and strong Aeternum army, he had made it clear that the Aeternum soldiers were made, trained and educated in order to protect Aeternum land and it’s people. No matter what, they duty is for the nation and it’s people, to keep the peace of the land and protect the peaceful lives tha
It was safe to say that thanks to Governess Countess Jelina raised concerned and comment, that the entire Cabinet hall and also the entire nation were back to calmness and deep thoughts. It also displaying to the entire world that Aeternum is a nation of progressive thinking that they can set aside their baser instinct by succumbing to rage, and instead decided to really weigh out their option to further maximized their profits in whatever issues that they were in. As such to many leaders of the nation, that were listening to these Cabinet Meeting were able to see, just how competent and wise Aeternum government and their statesmen, furthermore to many nation that only have male in power in their government were also very shocked to hear that there is many Stateswoman in Aeternum that is far more competent that they are.“Like I said before…see, Elijah disciple as as just as shrewd as she is…Countess Jelina is a very calculative person…she is the one that raise the Shark Region into a
Back at the Cabinet Hall In New City, the debate are getting more and more prolonged, as Governess Countess Jelina reasoning has now gaining more and more supporters. Everyone now basically agreed that Aeternum should retained and obtained a substantial reparation first before moving onto anything else. It was all universally agreed upon that Aeternum should be gaining something solid first before to fund the war before anything else, but the questioned is who is going to provide that reparation, everyone agreed that Alemia Nation should be the one that is paying for the damages but, who would be giving Aeternum that reparation, as there is no on in Alemia Nation that is capable of giving out that funding.“[With all due respect, Madam Governess….you have been on and on about the reparation funds…and we should find someone on Alemia nation to pay us that money….But who?…from who should we asked it for?…For many years!…that nation has been constantly in fights!..in war….they ignored th
When the people that were supporting more intense and active action to be taken by the government against Alemia Nation, heard the declaration from the Aeternum Minister of Defense, Grand General Bina, said that she is more than happy and ready to bring the hammer of justice onto the enemy, people cannot be more than happy to know that their opinion were supported on the Cabinet. Sure, Aeternum were kind and docile most of the time, but they were also known to be extremely capable, and Alemia Nation has touched the bottom line of Aeternums many times that it cannot be ignored anymore. Everything related to that nation has become an annoyance, it was the source of many problem that has come to Aeternum and it was this nation that would have to remedied many absurd things that the Alemia Nation people that had ran to Aeternum.“[Everyone knows that war is not the solution for every problem….but I am compelled to believed that…on this particular problem…I am afraid that we as a nation ha
Whilst the debated inside of the Cabinet Hall were getting more and more heated as more secret information regarding the Alemia Nation wrong doing were brought to light. At Aeternum Royal Palace, the atmosphere were rather serene and calm, though today there were a guest that seemingly unable to seat calmly as he heard about the many irreversible things that had happened between Alemia Nation and Aeternum. Duke Oliver Gust, right now were sitting inside of the President private home office, facing the president himself at the moment. It was apart of his schedule, actually he was supposed to be here after all, but his debut inside of Aeternum political realm has not yet started today.“[….on top of that they were the one that robbed us AFTER they obtained the paid tolled by us…up to this point, on the loss for the toll payments and robbery that has incurred on us..has already reached…500 million credits…all that I can say..is that this is frustrating..]”.(Radio/Minister Mina)“…h
Like it was universally known about The Gust family, they are very influential not only in Alemia Nation but also the nation that were bordered with their territory, for example the Kingdom of Zaredon and Kingdom of Nirewin, both of this nation were bordering the Gust Family territory, and none of them ever said anything bad about the Gust family for as long as their history together. The Gust family, is simply a well known and reputable good Noble family and rulers of their lands. For generation they were known as one that is kind to their land and people, as well as the one that remained unbiased to the government of Alemia Nation and the noble faction. Acknowledge by all as the protector of the western Alemia Nation border, and one that keep to themselves, at this point, it was clear to be seen that they were a territory that are self governed, almost like a nation of their own.If only the Gust Family, were a little bit greedy and smart, they can already formed their one little na
All thanks to Duke Oliver, it can be said that Aeternum had already have a soft invasion done through out the Alemia Nation already. This is even without me even lifting a single finger and making my move, Duke Oliver and his family has already secretly influenced many nobles to sided with me and at the moment waiting, anxiously for Aeternum to move against Alemia Nation, and by then when that announcement were made, the entire nation would fall like a dominoes. Obviously at these moment, all of them were not as guaranteed as The Gust family, so all of the nobles that were following the Gust family advice were on the edge and nervous as they were waiting for the ultimate confirmation from Aeternum side.Still, Duke Oliver were smart to not give a protection, by saying that all these nobles that sided with him would be safe 100 percent. After all, I already noticed that there were a lot of snakes and bastards nobles that actually joined him, just so that they can be saved, being a trea
The second Duke Oliver laid eyes, on Renee Coral, he immediately stood up from his seat and ran towards her and gave her, his signature bear hug. Then, for 5 minutes after that, both of them were instantly fell into a swamp of sappy moment, it was true that both of them were in the know of each other, Renee Coral also closed to the Duke and his family, apparently as she were 2 year older than the Duke oldest daughter, and with the Duke being to fond of kids, he instantly went fatherly on the young lady. Meanwhile the entire time, I and Alfred were just stood on the side, witnessing everything, both of them need their time with each other, and it seems there is more story as to why Renee Coral did not come to Gust family for help.“Ahem!..Duke Oliver, Miss Renee…It is time for both of you to take seat..now, please…”.(Alfred Monticello)“Ah!…Apologies, Your Highness..”.(Miss Renee Coral)“Hahaha..sorry about that, Sir Alfred…Come Sit Down, Renee..here, right next to Uncle..hohoho~”.(Duk
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
