The Duke Recollection of what he had gone through is a story that all of Aeternum were proud to hear. By now it was already clear as a day of just how different Aeternum military are. And just how worst the Alemia Nation situation were, for an influential Duke of another nation to say such thing, is unheard of. Saying that Aeternum saved him and his people when the nation were failed at doing so for many years until now, that just show just how the Alemia Nation has fall and now, are an unreliable ally and are no longer qualified to be helped if the one that were currently in power stayed the same. All the Cabinet Attendee were all thinking of everything along this line of thought right now.“..Many of the Nobles after the civil war and the peace come were all just blatantly complaining about a lot of things,Naturally….but when the war passed they all went back to their original color…fighting for land, oppressed their own people…doing all kind of crimes….But unlike all of them….Me, M
Claps filled the Cabinet Hall after Duke Oliver Gust delivered his heartfelt hanks to the entire Aeternum, as a nation that saved him and his territory from demise. Now that is a brave move from him, and everybody knows it, he has blatantly revealed the ugly truth about his nation and disregards it, and at the same time he has just thanked Aeternum for every good things that had happened in his territory. What he sat were clearly not a popular opinion at all on his side of the country, in fact, by now it was safe to say that the way that he is right now and the side that he was on right now, he can be already be labeled as a traitor to Alemia Nation. But here, before the Aeternum people, he was already known as the only Nobles in Alemia Nation, that were know how to be thankful and honorable, to all of what Aeternum had done for the Alemia Nation.“And so, my Territory, my family, my subject and I…for the last half a year…has been literally a new colony of Aeternum government…althou
Duke Oliver Gust is now already accepted by every Aeternum by now as he has said is basically on the line of agreeing to everything that Aeternum governance is a the best way to governed a land and a nation. He basically said that the cure to Alemia Nation is let Aeternum ruled over it and all the problem will be gone. It was very clear right now that the problem not just start at the Nobility society but it shoot all the way up to the monarch itself.“...Sad is it…how just after a war was settled…another just pop up out of nowhere…while the people were still struggling to even live and feed themselves…the war just started all because a person that just came back from war after backstabbing someone..felt that the were the one that won the war and now wants a throne for himself….Everyone in Alemia Nation…forgot that the Civil war that they had and the one that were just won…were all fought and won by Aeternum….what a joke, seriously…”.(Duke Oliver Gust)His lamentation, does brought a
From following Aeternum doctrine to improved his own land for his people, become a copy of Aeternum by following everything faithfully. Proud to have all his child stayed in Aeternum and learned in Aeternum education system, to help his own nation and failed at it. Being scorned and alienated by his own comrade, to denouncing the civil war and now about to get assassinated and being saved in time by the A.C.I.A that were sent by the Vice President herself. Duke Oliver Gust story has brought everyone that were watching and listening on a mighty roller coaster of emotion and suspense, ow the finale to his story were about to come.“After all this troubling situations…I were forced to think of anything that I can do to save my land, people and my nation….at this point, with the current Alemia Nation government…even if the war will be won by one faction by the end of it…the same destroying cycle that benefits no one will once again started…..and at that time…I come to a conclusion that wh
If it was not as clear as a day, from the look on his face, Duke Oliver already showed everyone on whether his declared of loyalty were excepted by the President or not. And as of right now, everyone has already believed that they are now is apart of Aeternum, and also as the Vassal of the Aeternum Royal family, a feat that is not at all easy to achieved, as by now, the Aeternum Royal Family, despite it’s status and legitimacy, are only known to have a single Vassal Family at the moment, and that family is the elusive Count Di Gianna Family, and now, the Ducal Gust Family is also swore loyalty to Aeternum Royal family and became it’s lord.“It is certainly, what to me is an obvious decisions…I have seen and experienced how Aeternum governance works and benefits everyone…. and I truly believed, that only Aeternum can save my failing nation…and thus, I will put my faith, on His Highness President Kaiser Mies Sai, Wisdom and leadership…to change those troubled land….Hence, Dear Cabinet m
The 4th governor of Aeternum has been elected today, and it was a monumental event for the entire nation, and also a clear innuendo for the entire nation, to the listeners and viewers that were keeping up with the broadcast. A Duke of Aeternum of which previously another nation duke has given up his land, and were now given back to him as it was now being announced under the governance of Aeternum. The fact that Duke Oliver Gust were elected as the Regional Governor of a region called Alemia and not the western Alemia region, say quite a lot on where these sign would lead. Still nevertheless for many Aeternum people, gaining another governor is a happy moment and warranted a celebration on the spot, so the celebration continues as it should be for a few more minutes.“He become a Duke of Aeternum, an ally and then a Governor all in a same day…..now that is some news we got there…”.(Suchong)“Everything just happened to fast…..but then again…let’s just say that he deserved it right?..”
As quick as the celebration was, that Is also as quick as everyone got focused when I were standing in front of them. Now that Miss Renee Coral propaganda movement and Duke Oliver Gust joining Aeternum has been announced. I am very sure that the entire nation is now on the same boat as me, and now will take the up and coming war, not as a burden, but rather a collective responsibility and a proud movement that everyone has to be taken as a citizens of this nation. So the time is very ripe to take the fruit right now.“It was a difficult time for all of us right now….with everything that is being going on lately…it is only right for us to take a united stance on this matter….Although, I as the ruler of Aeternum, has the power to make a decision entirely based on my discretion…But I believed…when it comes to a decision that would affected our entire nation…..such decisions had to be made carefully and collectively...by our trusted member of the Cabinet…our community leaders and our peop
After 3 long days of debate and meeting it is finally come to this moment, it is time to finally for everyone to make a final decision on this matter of war. And to be quite honest I thought this moment would be a nerve wrecking moment for everyone, but instead everyone seems to be more fired up than they ever been before this. I guess all this thanks to the many inspirational speech before all of this time and it is definitely working. All this time, although the steps to arrived at this point do feel be a bit too long, I am just trying to make it seems more epic, after all the first call to war for my nation, it has to be special after all.“Cabinet Member, Governor Countess Jelina..Yay or Nay?..”.(Lieutenant Colonel Sareen)Naturally at this time the one that will be calling everyone to vote is not me, as my duty Right now, is to looks as cool as possible and regal as heck, by just standing still like a Knight statue. I kinda wanted to set a ceremonial vibes to this moment, so that
“Then let’s make history. Order the Navy Fleet 01 to launch three additional Type-1 Missiles. Targets: The East, North, and West gates of the capital.”The entire command bridge fell into stunned silence.Every officer, every technician, every strategist momentarily froze. Their eyes flickered with a mix of shock and anxiety as they processed my command. Even the seasoned veterans among them seemed momentarily taken aback.It was one thing to deploy a single missile.But three at once?That wasn’t just warfare—it was an annihilation order.Bina, Lucas, and Eliza, who had been following the situation via video conference, immediately reacted. Their holographic images flickered on the massive display before me, each one expressing their own unique emotions.Bina, ever the stoic and composed tactician, furrowed her brows, tapping her fingers against the table.“Mr. President… I assume you understand the full implications of this move?”I met her gaze without hesitation.“I do. This is th
At 6:45 AM, the order was given. Admiral Duchess Kolarova, commanding the Navy Fleet from the southern front, initiated the launch sequence. The missile streaked across the sky like a comet, its white trail a harbinger of devastation.From the Dragon One, I stood on the bridge, watching intently as the missile’s trajectory was displayed on the holographic screens. My officers around me held their breath, anticipation thick in the air.A few moments later, the missile hit its mark. The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular. The Alemia Capital City gates were obliterated, along with the surrounding walls and everything within a 100-meter radius. Dust and debris rose into the sky like a dark mushroom cloud, blotting out the early morning sun.The impact was beyond what any of us had anticipated. The "lowest-grade" missile had proven to be anything but low-grade.The news of the missile strike spread like wildfire through the Aeternum ranks. Soldiers, commanders, and of
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
