Whilst the warring faction of Alemia Nation were in their own dilemma, the rest of Alemia Nation were on the other hand, were in chaos, this is because the always silent without updated radio, suddenly aired the News. And what is even shocking is that everyone can hear the news from wherever the are. Out of nowhere, the Cities, towns and village, everyone that were living in silence inside their house, or those that were even being hold in prison and dungeons. All of them can hear the radio broadcast. Not knowing where actually the sound came from, all that is certain for the people of Alemia Nation is that the Radio noise came from everywhere all at the same time.“Where is that Radio broadcast came from?…”.(Guard Captain Rome)In the Sunders City, the entire Guard garrison of the city were thrown into a chaotic mood as out of nowhere, the entire city were resounded with the Aeternum Radio News. The sound just came from everywhere and until now no one were able to find where that sou
Once the sudden radio news went on air and on top of that the entire city were engulf with the sound of that broadcast, in many cities, no nobles or lord ever dared to stepped out of their castle and mansion. After all, this sudden mass phenomenon just spooked everyone out of their minds, after all, as the civil war were still at it’s peaks many territory that were far from the war, were not at all at peace, instead, one by one the noble families be it, if they were lord of the land or not, they were all seemingly died out or just outright disappeared, further scare many that were in power. In Georgina City for example, the city lord are now being reported to be hiding in his castle, after over a dozens of Noble families died out in the span of few days.Naturally, this reluctant of action from the City Lord, created the opening for the Alemia Civilian Revolution Force to slowly came out of their hidings. And as they were all received the same secret order from the Aeternum Government
People would always be self entitled, and think that they deserved everything that is good, for the Alemia People that tasted a little bit of power that is what they are, plain and simple. Actually most people are like that since they did not know what heaven and earth truly are, but for those that has been baptized with Aeternum knowledge and education, these self entitlement behaviour were gone and replaced with a really positive values. For Marisko at the moment, Joseph and his Revolutionary force were like this, they have yet learned their lesson fully. But unfortunately for them, their army were actually just a by product of Aeternum scheme for the stage of Aeternum and Alemia Nation war. No one in Aeternum would care about them, in fact should they stepped out of line.The President himself and the entire Aeternum Military were ready to decimated them all, in a huff of a breath. In actuality, the one that actually still thinks, that they should be the one in charge is just a few
Whilst Knight Joseph and his Alemia Civilian Revolutionary army were just saved from their unknown future extermination thanks to Supervisor Agent Marisko curbing their greedy desires. The rest of Alemia Nation, for the common folks that didn’t know anything about the current situation. Other than their nation were being torn apart by the war again and again. Everyone that woke up in the morning of today, were all stunned silly as they can hear the recognizable voice in the air, all around them, it was started from the musical chime of the famous Aeternum Radio News then followed by the voice of DJ Skelly, when they heard the familiar noise, in an instant the entire neighborhood woke up. The people that woke up early went from house to house to wake up their neighbour, telling them to wake up and listened to the news, that has been gone for so long from their lives.In Sunders City for example, a commoner household who woke up early usually goes to the City Market to buy their family,
Saying stuff like that is akin to a rebellion these days. A few days ago a merchant family were even killed for went up against the guards, it was safe to say everyone are really on the edge at the moment. Still for the old man like Grandpa Kennedy that were already tired of everything he didn’t care a single bit. After all, it was the truth, many Alemia Nation Citizen nowadays believed in Aeternum more than they believed in their own nation.“Heh!..you and your worrisome attitude!…I am just speaking the truth here!…we all believe and wanted Aeternum to come and rule us….that Aeternums do a lot for us in a few months than these nobles and lord do for us for centuries!……Look even Johnny agrees with me! Right Johnny!..”.“You sure did!..old Kennedy…Morning Kennedy!…”.(Guard Johnny)Just then leaning against the wall near the window of the family house were City Guard Johnny, a friend of Kennedy, with his spear in his hand he lean and said hi to the family.“Hi Johnny…is that okay to say
It was safe to say that the Radio New Broadcast, has already gotten it’s supposed impact as soon as the broadcast went on air all over the Alemia Nation. As for it Aeternum, All of Aeternum Citizens were feeling proud when the broadcast started. The aura of Patriotism is spread all over Aeternum, and it can be seen that everyone were eager to have the war started. Which from a normal perspective, it is quite odd, usually in Fantasma, when it comes to war, people would surely despised it and avoid it like plague. But in Aeternum the situation were different, as the decision that were made from Aeternum cabinet were all supported and understood by the common folks and they knew that this war had to happened and they also blindly believed that this war will surely ended up in Aeternum complete victory.“The Aeternum is sure are scary…Lady Rebecca…Still their faith towards their leaders is really something that is enviable…If only our people were just a little bit the same as these Aetern
When Crown Princess Angela Seraphim came to her mother with a cherry tone, saying that Aeternum were currently already started with their campaign, Naturally Queen Duchess doesn’t want to miss the moment, after all, the ruler of the Dukedom of Angela and as Aeternum largest partner and allies, she had to keep up with everything, although she do prayed for Aeternum Victory, but still, in an unpredictable event’s such as war. Victory were not all certain, at this phase, Aeternum is far too valuable to be lost, for a nation that has not only advanced but also helped pushed others to a new Era, by all means Aeternum had to be preserved. And thus the Queen Duchess, with her daughter, left the bloodied Audience Chamber and headed to the Queen Saloon, where it was fully equipped with the latest gadget, furniture's and items, from Aeternum, and naturally, the new Gadget that the Queen obtained from her last visit, the Family sized Holographic Projector Box.“Demeria, prepared the Projector Bo
When the live image from the Holographic Projector, showed that Aeternum President, President Mies were standing on a stage and currently in the middle of his speech, and before him were rows of rows, of Aeternum soldiers all of them were currently fully equipped with their armor and weapons. And then paired with the many lined up magnificent machines and vehicles that were belonged to the Aeternum military, and some were not even known to the outsiders, Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein, Crown Princess Angela Seraphim and Lady Countess Demeria, at this time, fully realized that Aeternum weren’t playing around, nor even intent to halfhearted the war, as everyone thought they would do. Instead in that image alone Queen Duchess Angela, knew that this war, will be something that is very different that the war that she had known all her life.“See!, it works just fine!….Hmm, looks like Aeternum is really going to war..”.(Queen Duchess Angela Weinstein)“And they are going to go at it at thei
“We’re sending an envoy,” I said. “I want a diplomatic team ready to leave within the week. Formal clothes, soft language, but firm posture. They’ll deliver the proposal to reopen channels with Hallerus.”Andrea raised an eyebrow. “And if they hesitate?”“They won’t,” I said. “Helen’s smarter than she was. She knows what Aeternum means now—not just power. Stability. Progress. A future. Her people know it too. They’re already lining up to buy our products again. Her economy needs us more than she’d ever admit.”Andrea took notes. “Do we offer full partnership or just trade?”“Start with trade. Let her work for the rest.”Elijah crossed his arms. “You’re playing the long game.”“Always,” I said. “She showed backbone. Now she has to show consistency. If Hallerus stays clean, stays reformed, we talk alliance in two years. Maybe joint ventures. Maybe intelligence sharing.”Andrea looked up. “And if they regress?”“Then the gloves come off,” I said. “I owe Merrica nothing now. The ledger is
“Shadow diplomacy?”“Shared progress,” I corrected. “No puppet states. No conquest. We build allies, not subjects.”“And if she fails?”“She won’t.”“You trust her?”“I trust momentum.”Silence settled between us. Weighty. Calculated.“She came to the edge,” I said. “She looked down. She chose to climb.”I placed my palm on the table. Pulled up the interlink data from the last ACIA relay. A still frame of Helen and Merrica, standing beside a new council—half of them former commoners. Not a single noble.“She’s rewriting the code of kingship,” Elijah said.“She’s writing history.”Elijah nodded. “I’ll alert the Council of Governors. Phase One integration can begin. Cultural exchange programs. Civil training volunteers.”“Quiet. Measured.”“As always.”I watched the horizon past the glass. My reflection stared back. Older now. Sharper.“Hallerus lives,” I said.Elijah placed the closed folder back into his case. “And Aeternum listens.”I sat behind the presidential desk, sunlight spilli
"Your Majesty, to attempt full restoration in so short a time—""Will cost," she interrupted. "Yes, I know. But the people have paid enough. Now it’s our turn."What followed was a flurry of action unlike anything Hallerus had seen in decades. Labor crews moved out in droves. Merchants were granted tax reprieves to reopen. Public works officials received emergency authority. For once, the gears of governance turned swiftly.But still, the people watched with wary eyes.In the village of Elbarrow, a merchant shook his head as soldiers repaired a broken bridge."They say it’s Queen Helen’s will," he muttered. "But we've heard such promises before.""Aye," replied a farmer, watching with folded arms. "But maybe this time it sticks. She walked among us, didn’t she? My cousin swears she saw her with the duke."Rumors of the queen’s journey spread like wildfire. With them came cautious hope.One evening, at a small gathering hosted by village elders in Merrowind, Helen removed her hood and
"Transparency will be paramount. Council sessions will be documented, and decisions made in conjunction with the Crown will be communicated openly. This is not a move to consolidate power, but to distribute it wisely, ensuring that the governance of Hallerus reflects the will and welfare of its people."Lord Dallren, who had been silently observing, stepped forward. "Your Majesty, such a council could indeed bridge the gap between the Crown and the nobility, fostering unity. I support this initiative."A ripple of agreement spread through the assembly.Helen continued, "Furthermore, to address the grievances of our citizens and promote economic growth, we shall implement reforms aimed at equitable taxation and the eradication of corrupt practices that have long plagued our administration."Duke Merrica added, "These reforms will not only strengthen our internal stability but also enhance our standing among neighboring realms, fostering alliances and trade relations."Viscount Rellan,
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
