Since I am already on my knees before her, Saintess Elena who got her hand hold by me this entire time, were almost overheating, even though everything was supposed to be a holy and pure actions, it seems that skinship and time to be on one on one with me, were just too much for the elf maiden. Who would’ve thought that by just us holding hands and me kneeling before her as my head touches her navel, were already enough to make her orgasm. It was lucky that her garments were thick and absorbent as it was clearly enchant with magic, if not, the people might see the Elf Saintess gushing from her secret place, on first contact our relationship has already leaped beyond normal by now.“Hmm?…Saintess why are you also kneeling before me?..”.Right now, I am rather shocked as Saintess Elena also knelt before me, but unlike me she kneel on her two instead of one, her breath were haggard and her face were blushed and flushed with redness.“My knees….are weak, My lord…and also…to me…this is mor
At the same time as the Aeternum royalty along with all of it’s high society figure were all being blessed by the Cathedral of Faith, the news were broadcast in the radio. It has been a few days since Aeternum Radio Broadcast has lifted their banned broadcast, naturally the enemy nation, Alemia Nation were still barred from receiving the latest broadcast. The event at the moment, where the head of the nation were receiving a blessing from multiple religious heads of which he personally came to the Cathedral instead of the Cathedral comes to him, were something that piqued everyone interest greatly.“[Currently, the Five Ministers were receiving their blessing on the stage, from all the religious leader…Saintess Elena Sunlight, the Director and also the leader of the Cathedral of Faith were incharge of leading the blessing ceremony…what a monumental moment we have here, Quara..]”.(DJ Skelly / Radio)All over the central continent, everyone were taking time out of their morning schedule
After the funeral ceremony ended, Aeternum has went back to it’s normal flows of time. Yet still everyone were on the edge or rather holding their excitement for the war to finally begin. For the Aeternum government official in the other hand, these period of time were the time where everyone had to be careful and do their best at everything, after all everyone were already being told that before and during the war time, everything must be on point and be done perfectly like they always has been. For the war, the border will be fully closed and perhaps even months after the war is over, only the border to the Dukedom of Angela would be opened to the public during these time.At the moment, since the nation were about to go to war, the Homeland, Immigration and Public Security Ministry, that are led by Minister Mina is on their highest priority meeting, after all when the entire nation were focused on the war, they were the last line of defense to the entire nation security. And by now
Unlike any other nation, Aeternum were known to managed their dungeons. Aeternum does not simply just destroyed every dungeons that they discovered and meet. Although dungeons is a common commodity in Fantasma, of which every place has it, it also known to provide boons for those that explored it, it also increased strength and gave opportunity for those that used it. But naturally it isn’t all that it brought, Dungeons also provides dangers for not only using it, but also not using it. Only Aeternum and it’s allies knows that Dungeons also one of the contributor for an intense Monster Stampede phenomenon, and also the dungeon break phenomenon were also stemmed from dungeons that has not being managed properly.Aeternum were the only nation in Central Continent that were known to managed their dungeon carefully and also harvested the dungeon yield constantly. Certain dungeons often times has some specific harvest-able resource from it, for example, there is a Dungeon in Agriculture R
In Aeternum, Aeternums and the government were constructed in such a way that everything would be in of a national interest and semi secular. Everything that is inside of Aeternum would be dealt by and only within Aeternum on Aeternums devises. This so that nothing would be brought outside and enable others to profits from Aeternum domestics. Not to mention that Aeternum had a lot of secret to keep, hence opening an International Channel for the Association is such a delicate issue for Aeternum Government. Then again, when it comes to profit and reputation, this is not that much of a complicated situation.“Opening the International Channel, huh….”.(Minister Mina)“Yeah…I think that would help with a lot of issues…sure there is some complication that would come with it…but I am sure that many adventurer and mercenary were already matured and understood our constitution, by now…”.(Mercenary Association Chairman Orthum Bronzehammer)“I see…”.(Minister Mina)If there is one thing that hi
By the end of the meeting, Ministry of Homeland, Immigration and Public Security, finally agreed with the 2 association suggestion to open the International Channel for their association. It was certainly a big move and also a risky one for both the Aeternum and also the Associations, but at the end of the day, it was for the best, since the pro is outweigh the con’s. Aeternum dungeons and monsters issues had to be controlled after all, since the military would have to focus their attention somewhere else, there had to be a concrete solution to replace their place even for a little bit. Not to mention these moves, is also something that is a little bit experimental for the government, before the real thing would take place.“Looks like the 2 of them left with a smile on their face..good for them I supposed…”.(Immigration Department Director Imlay Joel)“Well…it’s a good news for them….they finally got what they wanted…more jobs and contracts for them and at the same time also helped t
The Aeternum war preparation weeks had entered it’s first day of the third week, it was safe to say that everything that needed to be prepared and done before the war is about to be begun is already done and ready. Every aspect of the Aeternum industry, whether it was going to be used in the war, or those that were just a normal everyday thing were already prepared with triple check on everything. It was safe to say, that when it comes to preparation no one has ever done it like Aeternum ever does. And by now, everyone in the Aeternum higher government knows that, all that is left is for the President to give his words and soon everything will be started.Inside of the Black House largest Conference room, all of Aeternum highest position leaders were in the room, all of them are now in the last meeting session before the war is about to begin. Even Duke Oliver Gust were in the room, seated next to his fellow governor, dressed in his now official governor uniform, since he is now alrea
The entire preparation took Aeternum 2 and a half weeks from announcing to go to war, all the way to prepared for the after war care. All the troops are ready for deployments from their gears, ammunition, training and their self preparation it only took Bina and her entire military branch just one week, all the economic industry and the domestic preparation took only 2 weeks, for everything to just run perfectly during and after the war. As for the invasion planning and protocol, it took only 1 and a half week to prepared, step by step and calculation of everything. Under my order and Elijah as well as the sister careful observation and management, we managed to prepared the entire nation for war, much faster than any government ever done on earth. And Aeternum preparation were very detailed and it was unlike any government on Fantasma ever achieved.“...So what do you think?….do we all performed as you expected us to be…or even better?..”.(Elijah)Elijah were fixing my tie as we both
A murmur of agreement rippled through the assembly.Helen's gaze swept over the room, her eyes meeting those of each noble in turn. "I have summoned you here not only to reaffirm our unity but to propose measures that will ensure the stability and prosperity of Hallerus for generations to come."Viscount Rellan, his earlier defiance now replaced with a veneer of compliance, inclined his head. "Your Majesty, what measures do you propose?"Helen took a measured breath. "Firstly, we shall establish a council comprising representatives from each noble house. This council will serve as an advisory body, ensuring that all voices are heard and that governance is conducted with transparency and fairness."Baroness Yvette Darrow, her scepticism barely concealed, arched an eyebrow. "And what powers would this council hold, Your Majesty?"Helen met Yvette's gaze unwaveringly. "The council will have the authority to propose legislation and oversee its implementation. However, ultimate executive p
Amidst the turmoil, Duke Merrica found himself face-to-face with Lord Dallren."Merrica," Dallren sneered, blood trickling from a wound on his brow. "Betraying your own kind for that girl?"Merrica's grip tightened on his sword. "My loyalty lies with Hallerus, not with those who would see it rot from within."Their blades met in a fierce exchange, each strike echoing their clashing ideologies.Nearby, Baroness Yvette confronted Queen Helen."Your Majesty," Yvette began, her tone almost mocking, "you've become quite the thorn in our side."Helen met her gaze unwaveringly. "And you, Baroness, have leeched off this kingdom for too long."Yvette smirked, drawing her dagger. "Let's see if you're as formidable with a blade as you are with words."As the battle raged on, it became evident that the Queen's Faction held the advantage. The support of the common folk had bolstered their numbers, and the corrupt nobles' forces began to waver.Count Vorell, witnessing the disarray, turned to his r
A trusted royal scribe—a man who had served the palace for over a decade—was found dead before sunrise. A dagger coated in poison was discovered strapped to his leg. The second attempt followed soon after.A servant carrying tea for the Queen was intercepted before she could enter the throne room. Hidden beneath the silver tray was a vial of deadroot extract, a lethal poison. The servant, after interrogation, confessed that her family had been taken hostage by nobles who ordered the hit.Then came the third, fourth, and fifth attempts. Archers on rooftops. Explosives set along the Queen’s carriage route. Blades hidden in the folds of a courtier’s robes.Each time, the assassins failed. Each time, they disappeared without a trace. Helen knew who was behind it. But rather than show fear, she faced the storm head-on.Seated in her war room, Helen traced her fingers along a map of Hallerus, where red ink circled enemy strongholds. Duke Merrica stood beside her, arms folded, his sharp eyes
Aeternum had taught her a valuable lesson—control is not about force, but manipulation. So, she would make them turn on each other.Helen began summoning the nobles one by one, speaking to them in private meetings. She whispered honeyed words into their ears.“Viscount Talis, I need a reliable man. Duke Rehn is plotting against me, and I require your loyalty.”“Countess Ferros, your influence is invaluable. I fear Duke Rehn is siphoning funds, and I need someone I trust to investigate.”“Duke Rehn, the other nobles are moving against you. You must act swiftly before they remove you from power.”With every meeting, seeds of distrust were sown.The nobles—drunk on greed—were too blind to see that they were being played.And so, one by one, they began to conspire against each other.As the nobles scrambled to destroy each other, Helen’s true loyalists made their move.Under the cover of darkness, handpicked assassins carried out eliminations with precision.Duke Rehn?Found dead in his s
“Then Mies will destroy Hallerus.”Helen turned sharply toward him. “You think he would go that far?”Merrica didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”Helen stared at him, searching for a lie. A hint of hesitation. But there was none.“He will not give you mercy a second time, Helen,” Merrica said. “If those nobles push for war, if they even dare to challenge Aeternum—you will lose.”He took another step forward, his voice heavy. “And I will not be able to protect you.”For the first time in their conversation, Helen looked away. Merrica saw it. The fear. The realization.She already knew everything he was saying was true. She had just been too proud—too trapped—to admit it.Silence hung between them. Then, at last, Helen spoke.“…What do you want me to do?”Merrica finally allowed himself a small sigh of relief.“You already know what must be done, Helen,” he said gently. “You must take back your court.”Helen slowly nodded, though her expression remained grim. “Those nobles will not leave peace
“Merrica understands that if Hallerus moves against Aeternum, we won’t hold back.”Kasuma gave a knowing smirk. “And you won’t hesitate to destroy them.”I met her gaze, unblinking.“No.”A heavy silence fell between us.Kasuma leaned forward, her voice softer but firm. “You don’t want war with Hallerus.”“No, I don’t,” I admitted. “The people of Hallerus don’t deserve to suffer for their queen’s mistakes. Merrica doesn’t deserve to be put in that position.”Kasuma studied me for a moment before sighing. “Then let’s hope Duke Merrica succeeds.”I ran a hand through my hair, my thoughts swirling. Visma was controlled. Chaos was their prison, and we held the keys. Hallerus, however, was different.It was once an ally, a friend, a brother. But betrayal had shattered that bond. Still… I didn’t want to be the one to crush it completely. I drummed my fingers on my desk. If Helen could be saved, then perhaps—A knock interrupted my thoughts.“Enter,” I called.An ACIA officer stepped in, bowi
The Merchant Guild Leader, Darvio Vinn, who had profited the most from blocking Aeternum trade. His warehouses stored inferior goods at premium prices, keeping the economy strangled in his grip.The General of the Royal Army, Lionel Ferin, who had bled the treasury dry with excessive military spending, preaching about “independence” while weakening their forces with outdated tactics.They had to be removed. One by one, quietly, without causing suspicion. But how? Merrica could not simply accuse them—Helen trusted them. If he moved too boldly, she would see him as the enemy.No, he had to be careful. He had to play the game. Merrica stood, pouring himself another glass of wine. He would begin by exposing the corruption—turning the people against the parasites that fed on Hallerus.The merchants would learn how Darvio Vinn had been overpricing basic goods. The military officers would see how General Lionel Ferin had been wasting funds on obsolete strategies. The court would hear whisper
At a local tavern, I overheard a group of soldiers drunkenly complaining."Our weapons are old.""Our rations taste like pig slop.""Did you hear? Even Alemia is receiving Aeternum goods now.""We should have never broken ties."I smirked. They knew. Their queen had failed them, and their nation was falling behind while the rest of the world thrived under Aeternum’s soft power. The people of Hallerus were not fools. They saw the rising prosperity of the allied nations, the luxurious goods, the technological marvels, the entertainment, the food. They could only watch in envy.At sunset, I met with Duke Merrica Murrs at his estate. His once-proud posture had been replaced with exhaustion. His eyes, which once held confidence, now carried deep regret.We sat in his grand study, the silence stretching between us. Finally, he spoke."I should have stopped her."I said nothing."I vouched for her. I believed in her." He exhaled, shaking his head. "And now, my people suffer because of my mis
Meanwhile, in Yulga, Maria sat comfortably in her study, reading the latest reports.Lysander stood beside her, amused. "Another assassin failed. This is getting predictable."Maria smirked. "Vismal thinks he’s playing chess, but he’s only moving pawns."She set down her glass, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Let him keep trying. Let him think he has control.""And when he finally realizes he doesn’t?" Lysander asked.Maria leaned back, exhaling softly. "By then, he won’t be king anymore."While King Vismal wasted his energy plotting assassinations, he failed to see the true danger.His nobles squabbled over the black market. His people secretly craved Aeternum goods. His own soldiers whispered of defecting.Visma was rotting from the inside out. And Maria? She simply watched it happen. She wasn’t just controlling the black market. She was controlling Visma’s fate. One failed assassination at a time.King Vismal III believed he could eliminate Maria Yulga. He believed he could take
