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
“SILENCE!..You all have done more harm to many people….TO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE BEFORE YOU!!…THAN ANY MONSTERS EVER DID!!!…..you harm them!..exploited them!…you make them live in fear for a long time!!….you all did this!!…you know this people were weak!…and you disdained them all!!!….you treated them like an animal!…because that is what they are to you all!!!!……what a shameful people you are!!!….what kind of a lord?…a leader are you?…..the people put their faith on you to lead them to a better future…and you ruined them?!!…What kind of a human being are you?….Even a monster protect their young and lead their pack properly!!…..and you!…YOU ALL ARE WORST THAN A MONSTER!!!….YOU ALL ARE THE MANISFITATION OF EVIL ITSELF!!!…SHAME ON YOU!!..”.At this moment, the people were already upsets as they were as the Baron and all the accused just simply rambling off all the bad things that they had done, in an attempt to rescue themselves from being punished, and when that rambling were stopped with
As always, when ever I got the chance to discredit the current Alemia Nation royals and all of it’s institutional body it would take a shot at it as it will always be beneficial to have a constant support in this war. And by the looks of the audience have on their face, I can certainly feel that the jab that I took do made a big impact on them, as they now learned that this Baron does not became the way he is by his own credits alone, but due to the support and help from those that were supposed to prevent him from doing the ugly things to begin with. And to Baron Sunders, as soon as he saw where this trial will goes, he naturally were trying to begged for his life as always.“And, IF, you think that I would just turned a blind eye to all of your crimes and let you off free…..Then you are mistaken!!….I am sick and tired of your facade…all the nobles that are misusing their powers all of their crimes and inhumane acts, you are all disgust me!!….I will show you and all you criminals out
The verdict is already out and the sentences has been concluded, and with that comes the thunderous cheers from the crowds in and around Sunders City Square. This moment were a joyous moment for everyone, it was like a dream come true to all of the people that has been suffering for so long now. The people who had long forgotten the taste of justice being served correctly, now can felt the satisfaction of seeing a true justice being served before them. Everyone knew at this moment, the Eastern Alemia Region will changed and it is not just the Sunders City alone, and they also prayed that this changed will also spread all over the Alemia Nation soon. Baron Sunders and His people were still in a stunned state, they didn’t know what to do right now, like a deer on a spotlight in the midnight.“Get Up, criminal!…..”.(Aeternum Soldier)“No..no..no..NO!!!!!….you can’t do this to me!!!!….NOOO!!!!..”.(Baron Sunders)Baron Sunders felt the grip on his arm, and he was yanked up on his tw
From the Sunders City Square, to New City, Aeternum and to the entire Alemia Nation and also the Central Continent. Baron Sunders, His Family and His vassal, sins were ripped opened to the world to see and condemned them openly. The trial that were done by the President of Aeternum himself, set an all new precedent in a true justice and faithful trials, like it was no others. From the proceeding, method and way of judged, Aeternum has literally showed the world, to the uninformed masses how a trial process were done.Up until now, for the many common people, they knew about trial and of it’s existence, and how it was supposed to work. But they have never seen it or even know how it works at all, all they knew is that it was supposed to punished the criminals and upheld justice, but so far, in their entire life the Court of Justice that the know have never ever once do that.Instead of punishing the criminals, it was always the victims that were punished. Hence the trust of the Court of
“[Today, at Afternoon, in Sunders City Square…Baron Sunders, together with his family and also Vassal family, were executed to death sentence…..for the charges of crime of over 30 charges, from murder to warmongering….his time of reign over the Eastern Alemia Region, has started with lies, deception and violence….it was still an unknown reason as to why, the Alemia Royal Court of Law, which once already brought this man to the court and did not punished him at all, when the crime that he does were obvious and so blatant….]”.(Quara Raedrim)“[…It is also a mystery to me, Miss Quara…Then again, a Noble being hold in Court…in this day and age…usually no matter how harsh their crimes is….they will always got away with it…..that is the sad truth about it…in Alemia Nation or in any other nation….I even sees it happened all over the place…BUT!!…look at what happened when a true justice come in play…Boom!..dead…there right there..Justice is served..]”.(DJ Skelly @ Paul)Listeners were nodded
In the evening after the Trial and executions of Baron Sunders and his cronies, the tension in the city and in fact for the entire army as well were lifted, everyone were less tense that what were used to before. As for me in particular, I felt refreshed after the whole ordeal, and I know for certain that this opportunity is something that I cannot let go at all. Baron Sunders trials is served with a purpose in mind, it is first of all served to be the start of a new beginning for the people of Alemia Nation, signaling that from now one they all should be prepared for Aeternum to rule over them, and of course the change of government and also the overall environment of their lives. The second purpose, is to served as a reminder to all the corrupted leaders and nobles that they neck were on the line next.In Alemia Nation nobles and leaders, that are the same as Baron Sunders were literally everywhere, and all over the places, and for me and for Aeternum to really ruled over Alemia Nat
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
