Whilst in the Sunders City, Captain Jolgun were dealing with his team to take down the clueless Baron Sunders, also at the same time, at the Southern Region of Alemia Nation, Right at the border of Visma Nation and Alemia Nation, Aeternum Navy has already made land there, about 20 of Aeternum modern Warship were docked on the river side, inside of the Visma Nation side. Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon Aqeesha were the one that is leading these fleet, as soon as she got the order for the war, she and her fleet were the first one to get the order to move out. Naturally being an Eloesa prided warrior, she, along with many Aeternum Navy moved at once, and they were the forces that is responsible to conquer the Southern Region.“Admiral Duchess, It is an honour to meet you…and be of service to you…”.(Mira Sheerwood/ Mira Sheerwood Yulga)“No need to be so uptight, Team Leader Mira…hmm…who would’ve thought that the ruthless Countess that raise to the power and also literally tamed the entire
Perhaps to the normal folks the strong lady topic of discussion were rather bizarre and even outrageous, but to the both of them, it was something that they felt like they both should talked about. After all they are the officials of Aeternum government, one will be incharge of leading the attack and another was the one that would be covering the back of the force. That is right, Mira Sheerwood duty as the Countess of Yulga, is to actually barricades the Alemia Southern Region from any threat that comes from the Visma Nation. At the moment, the Yulga Territory has already completely being converted into Aeternum outpost, and already very stable and far more powerful that any territory in the entire of the Visma Nation.By Using the Yulga family name, Mira Sheerwood rose terror in anyone that dared to even entered the Yulga territory, be it adventurer of even merchants, they were killed like an animal. Even so, despite her brutal leadership, the Visma Nation Royalty never once dared to
As the Eastern and Southern front of Alemia Nation are already has it’s own generals that would lead the Aeternum army into battle, at the Western front, it was up to Duke Oliver Gust and the newly arrived, Colonel Xing of the Special Force. Colonel Xing is a low key name in Aeternum Military, but even so, his reputation were spread wide and can made those that heard about him in awe, after all, those that knows him only limited to the Aeternum officials, he is after all the leader of the famous Special Force Branch of Aeternum Military. And for this war, he was tasked to do his job from the Western Front, since this part were much closer to the Alemia Nation Capital.“Your territory is really well managed, Governor Duke….and I might as well say…that it looked very much like New City…”.(Colonel Xing)“hahaha…thanks Colonel…it meant a lot from you….I took an inspiration from our capital….took me a lot gold coins to spend on everything just so it looked a little bit identical…”.(Governo
Aeternum is known to have many secrets, and many of those secret was kept rightly that even those that are working for the government didn’t know much about it, and to the extend that they knew about them, is that they just heard of their names and that is it. For Duke Oliver Gust, and perhaps the entire Gust Family and it’s vassal that served the family, who shared the common hobby of interested in all thing Aeternums, they definitely wonders about the Maiden Units. After all, the Maiden Unit fame, is nation wide well known. But even so, there is not much to learned about them nor even let out about them. All that the people were agreed upon, is that they were monstrously strong, and extremely loyal to the Royal Family.“How Strong they are huh?…..Hmm…well, I am not being humble per say…nor I just want to glorified them…but the Maiden Unit is…rather the best of the best in all of Aeternum…from their basic strength, education and even leadership qualities…”.(Colonel Xing)“...That per
Bewildered by the renowned Colonel Xing lax and very casual attitudes and the way he addressed his duty, as if it was nothing to him. Duke Oliver Gust and Viscount Crisp were left behind by the Colonel that took their stood still as their cue to separate from him,and went back to their own business. Seeing that Colonel Xing current focus were no longer on the duo, the 2 naturally picked up the cue and also went on their own way, as both of them as always ponders on what they found out, discussing their new gotten information’s.“Colonel Xing….is really carefree, isn’t he?…he is also quite friendly…”.(Viscount Crisp Tackle)“Certainly….although his beginning is very humble…he still retained those friendliness of his…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)The 2 take their time, as they walked back to the Duke Mansion, passing through the small part of the Gust City, where the Duke fame showed it’s display, as the public and the masses greeted him and Viscount Crisp with welcoming atmosphere. The
Duke Oliver got his eye widened as His daughter mentioned Adriana Jelina can’t make it to become a Maiden. That is very shocking to hear, after all, Adriana Jelina were known as a prodigy and a sought after prospect in the Aeternum Royal University, even to the public, she is a well famous icon, not just as her role as the Student Body President, but also as the Daughter of Aeternum First Governor and a philanthropist.“She can’t make it?….why?..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“It’s Because being a Maiden is a big responsibility….they are serving the President, the Royal Family and also the 5 Ministers…not to mentioned that a Maiden must be above Tier 1 and also able to do everything that is needed….Also….this is told to me, By Madam Elijah herself…..A maiden were chosen…by the Maiden Unit itself…it is not something that can be apply at all…..Dear, Husband….I supposed Colonel Xing has arrived?..”.(Countess Sarra Gust)In the middle of the Conversation between father and daughter, Counte
Ever since the absurd war happened, between Queen Romella and her own son, Crown Prince Amariss, Queen Romella peaceful and lavish life end. The peace and the rich life that she were given by Aeternum were destroyed by her own blood, at least to her that what she felt. To be brutally honest the peace and the victory that she obtained from Aeternum, at all this entire time, she had done absolutely nothing at all to preserved it nor even to even improved the entire nation. Instead the job of administrating the nation, fell to her vassal, meanwhile she just ever so regularly dropped by to see and observed, as long as the situation were just normal, that was enough for her, and she would gladly enjoyed her lavish unlimited life that she never had before.Queen Romella, unlike her son, actually feared Aeternum prowess, and for her, she knew not to offend Aeternum is the best way for her to keep her way of life. But over the course of time, that fear were corroded by ignorance and bliss, sh
The fact that the Viscount openly mocked Aeternum is something that all of them took a great pleasure of doing it. To them they already long forgotten the favour that Aeternum had done to them and their nation, the fact that Aeternum leaved them alone and endured being betrayed by the Crown Prince Amariss in the Hallerus Kingdom Civil war, yet Aeternum did not retaliate, they all see this silence as cowardice act. And then when they plundered the Aeternum fleet, and got no reaction from Aeternum they sees it as, Aeternum as a weak nation. Though Viscount Pearl forgot, that there were many times, where the Aeternum fleet retaliate and every time Aeternum do, he lost his army. Yet, since the nation that he harassed, barely said anything, so ignorantly he sees it as his win.“Perhaps they were strong…hence I don’t want all of us to just ignored their threats….”.(Crown Prince Amariss)The Crown Prince rather haughty and misplaced timing of words of wisdom's, only attracts silence and snee
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
