“…sergeant…I will be leaving my office for a while…if anyone comes searching for me…tell them I am in a meeting with Admiral Duchess…”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)“Yes, Madam..”.(Navy Sergeant)As Colonel Aida left her office, she naturally alarmed her assistance, a sergeant that were working on his desk outside of her office. To Colonel Aida, she knew that there will be someone from the Aeternum Military Court will be coming here to the Pearl City Prison to also do the same thing that has been done at the Riverside Prison so it is better to be prepared for everything before hand.Colonel Aida Oneal, left the Pearl City Prison by herself, naturally driving her jeep straight to the Pearl City Administration Office, which is just a large Keep, that use to be the Pearl City Count Keep and estate. Which is now has been turned and changed into an Administration office for the Aeternum Government, this is where the Southern War Theater base were, where all military activity were based upon
At this point, it was safe to say that that the Pearl City has already shed it’s previous looks, of gloomy, filled of fear and corruptions. Instead the entire city has come to life and bustling with activity. Unlike the Sunder City, Pearl City, only took a single day to changed and accepted Aeternum as it’s new ruler. This is because, compared to the Sunders City, Pearl City got influenced by Aeternums by a lot, as this city often got visited by Aeternum ships, and the local population has already favoured Aeternum people ever since. And when the change in administration has started. Every single person jumps on the trend very fast, when they finally learned that they can now be an Aeternum people just loved it a lot, and just naturally changed, as now they don’t need to live in fear anymore.So right now, whilst the Sunders City people were still looking shabby and tried to gather their bearing on life, the People of Sunders City were already dressed like an Aeternum and were already
“…Commander Barika!…what are you doing here, out in the street?…”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)As Colonel Aida were driving down the street at her own leisure, she spotted Commander Barika from the Navy Marine, just standing on the side of the road, beside an Woman.“…Madam Colonel, nice to see you….I am just happened to meet, Major Orin over here…she just arrived from New City and are about to meet with Admiral Duchess herself…”.(Commander Barika)“Really?..”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)“…Afternoon, Madam Colonel….I am Major Orin, of The Royal Military Court of Justice…..I am here to meet with Admiral Duchess, per the order of His Highness President and also the Cabinet….”.(Major Orin)Her words and action were seemingly devoid of any emotions that is Major Orin, she was wearing her official uniform naturally, it was a Black with White lining uniform, and official uniform of a Military Court of Justice Judge. Military Court of Justice Division is a very rare existen
Although Major Orin said that she was shocked her expressionless face tell people otherwise, it was already a common knowledge that the people from the Military Court were all eccentric people, this Major Orin is definitely one of them. As she just get on, Colonel Aida Oneal jeep and sat at the passenger seat calmly, of which puzzled the colonel to the point that she just agreed to her and immediately drive away, leaving the baffled Commander Barika on the side of the street.“HEY!!!…what about me?…”.(Commander Barika)As if he was invisible, Colonel Aida Oneal and Major Orin continue on their way, headed straight to meet up with the Admiral Duchess. Inside of the Pearl City Administration Office, the situation were not at all the same as the bustling city that filled with vibrant voices. Instead the entire building were barely have any voices around at all, but the people inside were constantly moving about and busy doing their work. Also, the old Keep interior were also now have cha
“Come in…..Hmm? What is is Aida?…..and why is a Judge here with you?…”.(Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon)Standing up from her chair and taking off her glasses as she stopped for a moment from working on her paper, Duchess Kolarova asked Aida Oneal, her closes aide, and the appearance of a military court judge beside her, really do raised a big question, after all, a military judge rarely do a home visit at all, that is unless the one that they were visiting were guilty of a crime, or something, though Admiral Duchess herself knew that she is not at all in a possibility of being convicted or anything, still a judge out in the open like is rare, so her interest were at all time high at the moment.“Afternoon, Admiral Duchess….I’m here to report something to you….and here….is….”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)As Aida were in an awkward moment to say something and introduce the Judge in question, Major Orin step forward and introduce herself, in a very robotic manner. And thus further solidified the
“Madam Admiral, I am Major Orin, a Judge that were assigned by his Highness President and the Cabinet to handle all the trial and proceeding regarding the Pearl City Prison…Here is a paper and documents regarding my assignment and also the proclamation from the President and the Cabinet, Madam Admiral…”.(Major Orin)Major Orin put down all the paper that she showed on Admiral Duchess desk, of which only prompted the Admiral Duchess reaction to just reached out and read all the paper and a few second later she done reading and put down her signature, and then In the same manner she return the paper back to Major Orin.“I am rather shocked that this decision were coming way to fast…but also at the right time as well….our prison had already experiencing overcrowded problem right now….to the point that I had to expand the prison, just so we can hold more captives…”.(Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon)“Certainly, Madam Admiral…this overcrowded issues also rise in Riverside Prison as well, but,
“I see…..now that I know about it…I understand the urgency…”.(Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon)Since the decision were actually coming from the President himself, no wonder everything comes to unveil rather fast and quick, as for the Military Court of Justice, Duchess Kolarova knows that, the reason they were so eager to work, is because this is finally their time to shine, within the military base, they rarely have any chances to work and shine, as there are barely any cases at all to work on, given that the Aeternum Soldiers all of them were stick with discipline. Now finally they can show the world what they are worth and what they can do it was natural that they were excited about the whole thing.“Thank you, Madam Admiral…”.(Major Orin)“Right…then, I assumed you wanted to get on with your duty as soon as you can?..”.(Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon)“Yes, Madam…me and my staff are all ready for duty at any moment now…”.(Major Orin)“Great…you may proceeds, should you need anything o
“Great…you may proceeds, should you need anything or additional support…you request it from Colonel Aida Oneal here…and the Navy shall provide with everything you need, Major…”.(Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon)“Will do, Madam Admiral…thank you for your time…then, Admiral Duchess, Colonel…I shall take my leave…”.(Major Orin)As calmly as she came, she left the same way, and thus leaving only Admiral Duchess and Colonel Aida in the room to just stood there and take in the after effect, when the eccentric judge left the room.“...She certainly a unique one….I heard of her reputation…but never meet her personally…”.(Colonel Aida Oneal)“That she is…but believed it or not, her track records were nothing short of a stellar….she is one of the top Military Judge in our Military….by the way…why are you here, Aida…”.(Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon)“Actually, I’m here to tell you what I just know…but it seems that, Major Orin already beat me to that….also, by the way…The President just left the E
“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
