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
At this point in time, the trial had become like a market place, every single person before me just spout out incriminating facts one after another, and it was just as absurd as it looks as it was as steadily incriminating as it goes. I don’t know if they were just outright stupid or just already went crazy, or they just forget that they were In a court and I am before them right now are a judge that proceeding of the entire trial. But still then again, the more they speak the more apparent their crimes are, and each single one of them deserved to be punished to the full extent of the punishment. Murder, kidnapping, robbery, sexual assault, embezzling literally every single crime that one can commit they all have done it. From the Baron all the way to the insignificant vassal before me, all of them had done some messed up things.“…Silence!!!….Enough!!…Order in the court!!….how dare you all turned my court into a shouting contest between you all!!….Bailiff!…bring an o
“Learn the Craft of Visual Storytelling! Enroll in the Aeternum Film Academy Today!”Students from all over Aeternum flocked to sign up. Aspiring actors hoping to be the next big star. Writers eager to bring their stories to life. Technicians fascinated by the magic of film.Even our allied nations sent students, eager to learn about this new frontier of entertainment. The future of the film industry had been secured.“If there are no theaters, there’s no audience.”Right now, Aeternum was the only nation with cinemas. But the true money wouldn’t come from just our own population—it would come from exporting movies and cinema technology to our allied nations.And so, we struck a deal. Each allied nation would provide land and funding for the construction of cinemas. Aeternum would bring in the technology, train workers, and provide the films.The profits would be split—40% for Aeternum, 60% for the host nation. This trade cooperation would not only strengthen alliances but also ensur
“Coming Soon: Aeternum’s First Movie – Directed by the President Himself!”The public reaction was beyond anything I had imagined. People were talking about it in markets, cafes, and even at work.“Did you hear? The President himself is acting in this film!”“I don’t even know what a movie is, but if the President made it, I have to see it!”“They say it’s like a play, but the characters are on a magical screen. How does that even work?”The excitement was contagious. Even foreign merchants and diplomats in Aeternum were intrigued—they, too, wanted to witness this mysterious new form of entertainment.Shooting the movie was not easy. Unlike Earth, Aeternum had no experienced film industry professionals. Camera operators had to be trained from scratch.Actors had to learn how to deliver lines naturally instead of exaggerated stage acting. Lighting and set design had to be invented entirely from the ground up.One of my biggest struggles?Teaching the actors to not look directly at the
On screen, ANBC reporters walked the streets, interviewed important figures, and even showed battlefield footage of Aeternum’s military exercises. The people were shocked, their jaws dropping as they saw moving images of places they had never been."It’s like I’m standing there with them!" A shopkeeper had exclaimed in an interview, reacting to seeing footage of Angela’s train network expansion.But news wasn’t the only thing that took the world by storm.I had taken it upon myself to recreate classic entertainment from Earth, bringing a whole new level of culture to Aeternum.Dramas and Soap Operas – Noble romance, political intrigue, thrilling battles, and dramatic betrayals captivated viewers. Families gathered around the television, watching scripted stories unfold before their eyes for the first time.Short Films & Movies – Storytelling evolved overnight. Actors and playwrights who once worked in theaters had now found a new home in television. The birth of Aeternum’s film indust
“For the first time ever, we bring to you, the Dukedom of Angela—as seen through the lens of Aeternum television!” Quara announced proudly.The footage zoomed in to Angela City, its sprawling medieval-style castles and townships standing in stark contrast to Aeternum’s modern metropolis. The streets of Angela were bustling, the markets filled with traders, and most importantly, the brand-new train station was shown in full glory—with an Aeternum-built high-speed train pulling in.Loud cheers erupted from across the nation.“I never thought I’d be able to see another country without having to travel!” a young boy marveled, watching from his family’s living room.Back in the Angela Grand Plaza, where a giant public viewing screen had been set up, Angela’s own citizens were watching themselves on the Aeternum News.A young Angela nobleman paled, tugging at his collar. “Is this how they see us? We look so… so old-fashioned compared to them!”His companion, a wealthy merchant, nodded. “The
As life in Angela rapidly modernized, one final surprise awaited its citizens—a marvel unlike anything they had ever seen before.Under President Mies’ orders, Minister Rafaela of A.R.D.H.M. (Art, Research, Development, Health, and Magic) had finally completed a project years in the making.Aeternum had officially invented the world’s first television.At Angela’s Grand Plaza, a massive gathering of people stood in front of a newly constructed screen.“Is this… some kind of moving painting?” an old man asked, adjusting his spectacles.His grandson, a curious boy named Emile, tugged on his sleeve. “Grandpa, look! The picture is… changing!”The crowd gasped as the screen flickered to life, revealing an image of DJ Skelly and Quara Raedrim, two of Aeternum’s most famous radio hosts.“Greetings, citizens of Angela!” DJ Skelly’s booming voice echoed across the plaza. “Today is a historic day! For the first time ever, the people of Aeternum and Angela will witness the future of entertainmen
At Fort Steelward, a border outpost near the west, Angela’s Captain Cedric Durand stood alongside Aeternum’s Colonel Matthias Kael, watching as their combined forces executed a tactical drill.“You train your men well,” Captain Cedric admitted, watching as Aeternum’s soldiers swiftly took down training dummies with precise gunfire and coordinated tactics.Colonel Kael smirked. “Efficiency is key. We fight with strategy, discipline, and superior equipment.”Angela’s soldiers were still adjusting to Aeternum’s modernized warfare, but the results spoke for themselves. Crime rates near the border had dropped by 60% in just three months, and monster activity was at an all-time low.For Angela’s government, this was the best possible outcome. A safer nation meant a stronger economy, happier citizens, and more stability.In the halls of Angela’s Royal Palace, the nation’s ministers convened for a special meeting to discuss the growing partnership with Aeternum.“I must admit,” Minister Jean-
“So…” Baroness Elise folded her arms. “Are you telling us that our businesses are failing because we refuse to acknowledge the common folk as valuable clients?”“Precisely,” Lionel said. “Look, my friends—tradition is fine, but wealth does not care about tradition. You must ask yourselves, do you wish to cling to outdated ideals and watch your investments fail? Or will you embrace modernity and open your doors to the true economy?”The Angela nobles were silent.Marquis Alistair eventually exhaled. “Damn… I hate to admit it, but you’re right.”Duke Clarence sighed, rubbing his temples. “It seems we have much to reconsider.”Lionel smirked. “That’s the first step to success. Now… shall we discuss how to properly revamp your business strategies?”By the time Angela’s nobles returned home, their entire perspective had changed. Within weeks, their resorts underwent major rebranding, opening their services to the wealthy merchants, military officers, and successful craftsmen that made up A
Duke Clarence and his companions exchanged glances. The idea of a nobility focused on economy and culture rather than ruling and taxation was unthinkable in the Dukedom of Angela.At that moment, Countess Vivian Lancaster, a noblewoman from Aeternum’s east, approached the group with a knowing smile. “And you should know, Duke Clarence,” she said smoothly, “there is far more wealth and prestige in industry than in ruling over struggling farmers.”She produced a document, sliding it across the table. It was an investment portfolio—Aeternum Nobles had turned entire mountain valleys into profitable spa resorts, old castles into boutique hotels, and hunting grounds into elite golf courses.Marquis Alistair leaned forward, his eyes widening at the immense profits outlined in the reports. “By the heavens… you’re making millions in mere months,” he whispered.Viscount Lionel nodded, clearly enjoying their shock. “And it is all because we embraced progress, rather than clinging to the past.”Ba
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
