The entire court proceeding were being done live on the Radio and also Holographic broadcast, and thanks to that, the whole thing were also being listened and watched by not just the Sunders City citizens but also in Aeternum and every nation all over the Central Continent. Simply this one broadcast had truly opened the people mind and thought of what is possible, in fact for many this is perhaps the first time ever in their life to see a Noble, a Baron were being reduced to such state, showing to the common people at the end of the day, the Noble is perhaps isn’t so smart and mighty as they claim they are. Because, before Aeternum law and judge, in a court where the Justice is truly upheld, nothing but truth mattered, and so far, only the Court were the one that has been speaking truthfully, producing evidence after evidence to go against, Baron Sunders excuses and pleas.“So…..to all this crime you have committed…Baron Sunders….how do you plead?…”.(President of Aeternum/Judge)Like
At this point of the trial, to be honest I did not expect much from Baron Sunders or all the others before me, I know for a fact that these people have all been long checked out from reality. Baron Sunders is a spineless man, a person without any real character to even become a competent villain, his rise were simply coincidental, one success is all he need, after that, he is just simply gain his current stance thanks to already shaken region, the scared populace, and then a bunch of good for nothing followers that were all just a bunch of brainless idiots. He doesn’t have any quality at all to lead anyone, but he do got an overwhelmingly narcissistic value to think of himself far above the others. Still, in the end, I do not expect him to drop to this low, completely selling his family and followers to me, just to saved himself, and he even said this out in the open. And as of right now, despite his uselessness, he do make a great entertainment prop.“What a shameful man….I can’t bel
At the same time, In New City, Aeternum, Inside the Black House. Almost the entire Black House Staff were watching the Broadcast of Baron Sunders trial live, and everyone were just flabbergasted with the trial that seemingly just went unhinged and became a soap drama. Certainly the development of the trial were not at all, something that were anticipated, after all, ever since day one of the Eastern Alemia Region acting up, everyone had been paying attention to Baron Sunders and his development, and everyone were always regards him and his family as a threat and those that need to be paid attention to, instead at the moment, the display were just disappointing to everyone. At the moment, inside the Black House briefing room, Vice President Elijah, Minister Andrea, A.C.I.A Director, Matriarch Kasuma, and Governess Countess Jelina as well as Governess Queen Aqeesha were currently sitting around the long table, and were just baffled at the broadcast.“[Shut it!…Shut it!!…Shut it!!…all of
By every means the trial has been moving on nicely, although the court has yet to come to a verdict and finishing the trial, all sort of things has come out without even needing to do much of anything. But everyone that were following the entire trial process knows that, those accused are truly inhumane and slowly, little bit little their drama is just getting more and more overbearing to listened to. And to be truthful, this trial has done nothing but put more smeared on the Noble society more and more. And by their obnoxious behaviour, anyone can get annoyed by them, and one of them were the judge himself, Elijah, someone who knew a lot about the President, can see that the President were getting quite annoyed by Baron Sunders and his antics.“I guess they are that stupid…wow…the entire family, followers and the Baron himself were dirty….….”.(Vice President Elijah)“What is it, Madam Vice President?…”.(Governess Countess Jelina)“Nothing really….but look at His Highness……he i
Many commoners that came from Alemia Nation to Aeternum has lived through countless of injustice and suffering, and in all honesty they have already long forgotten and already lost hope for the judicial system a long time ago, as it is never fair to them and often times that judicial systems had often punished the wrong people and always letting go the true criminals. And that prejudice and wariness is something that the people carried with them to Aeternum, they feared that the same injustice would happened in Aeternum judicial systems and fear it to be so, furthermore that fear were amplified as they themselves has never stepped into the court to see the system works. Hence this is why the people reaction to this trial were constantly in turbulence and chaotic, as they also feared that Aeternum judicial systems will be flimsy, and that was something that can be understand, after countless time being on the receiving end of the injustice, the people reaction is understandable.“It is
With the trial were still in progress in Sunders City, everywhere in central continent, all thanks to the broadcast, many can pay attention to the trial, be via radio broadcast or the Holographic broadcast. And this trial certainly an attention grabbing broadcast, with nearly all those that listened and watching to it, stopped their daily activities, just to listened and watched it. And all those that do stopped and payed attention to it is nearly all of them were the common people, after all, it is not only a trial where Aeternum had captured the main culprit that has sparked the war between Alemia Nation and Aeternum, but also because the Captives were actually a noble. And this is something that never happened before, a Noble man being trial in public.Usually when trial of crimes, when it connected to the Noble, those trials were done in a secluded place, hidden from the masses eyes. Hence naturally due to the secretive nature of the trials, the result is always a dubious ones and
In New City Holographic Centre, the masses emotions were getting riled up as the many revelation came to light. Many were already furious as the time went on and right now, they were all wanting to just see, those blasted noble to get what he deserved. As for the many Aeternum new citizens that have personally experienced the horror that were revealed, they are now on the edge of their seat, as some of that has finally got the truth that they have been waiting for these entire time, finally they got to know who is the one that were killing their family or loved ones, who is the one that is truly responsible for their suffering, to made them run away from their homes and finally seek refuges on another land.“A man selling his followers and his family…just to saved himself…..this kind of guy should just die….gosh!…even listening to them makes me sick already!…Look!..look at that!…the whole family were just the same as the Baron!!….god!…this is just outrageous!!…”.(Old Corg)“That is ri
People in this era has had their faith in a judicial systems crushed so many times, time and time again as they hoped that any trial would be fair and just, would always ended up the other ways. Especially when the one that were on trial were one of the noble origins, often times no matter what the crime were, be it murder, rape or anything at all, these nobles often walked away unpunished, probably they were slapped on the wrist, lose a few money and that was just the end of it. The faith in a true justice and law were already basically none existence at this point. But in Aeternum, especially those that had become a true Aeternum citizens, knew that Aeternum judicial systems were not like any others. There has not been once where Aeternum justice were skewed, not even once, not even when the accused were noble. Before the Judge and in the court of Aeternum law, status, origin and classes, is nothing, what is mattered is the truth and that is it.“...Really?…You think so, Renee….I’ve
“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
