As the situation in both Riverside and Pearl City Prison had been sufficiently handled and on it’s way to be dealt with carefully for any further same situation. The same progress also happened at the Western Region of Alemia Nation, namely, the Gust Family territory, of which by now are already had become apart of Aeternum governance. But unlike the other 2 region of where the structure and also the administration had to be done from the ground up. Here in the region that had already embraced the Aeternum Government, everything had fallen to become much more simpler, The Gust Territory has already have a functional Military and also a Governor, hence the process were much more easier.“So, you were saying that we will be implementing these trial and judgement system for the Prisoners of war here?…and these motion has been approved by the President and the Cabinet just now?..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Yes, Sir Governor…it was an implementation that were taken by the President hims
“…hey guys, what’s happening here?..what are you guys were talking about?..”.(General Lucas)Whilst the 2 were sitting inside the Governor office in the Gust City administration office, General Lucas who is in charged of the Aeternum military operation here, come inside the office with a wide smile on his face. Governor Duke Oliver and General Lucas has become a good friends ever since they know each others and for them such sudden appearance and coming into each other office without a warning has been a rather normal situation, that no one can stopped it.“Nothing much…just talking about the new approach from the President that come in just now…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Oh…about that prison stuff?..”.(General Lucas)The conversation between the 2 of them surely not at all looked like a 2 high government official talking about something major but rather like a 2 close friend bantering with one and another. Casually, Lucas pour himself with a liquor from the Govern
When General Lucas said this, saying that the president seems to frown upon his recent decision. Governor Duke Oliver, were a bit taken aback and slightly worried, as a lot of people knows that such occasion were very rare and usually such situations do have a significant stories behind."Why is that so, Lucas?".(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)"Well...he hated treated people like that...in fact all this time he had been fighting, and making a lot of effort to free and helped people all the time....and now... he had to decide and come to this...".(General Lucas)"I see...well, that is kinda disheartening to hear..".(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)Before their conversation were full of positivity, but now a gloomy topic has been touched. It is kinda bummed the mood inside the room a little bit, no one wanted to dismissed the mood upfront, as they all know, it was a bit insensitive to do so. And naturally as the one that bringing up the downcast mood, General Lucas were also the one that lifted
“Well…he not entirely against it…he just disliked the idea of it…so he tried to avoid it if possible..but if he can’t then he would be just fine with it…..”.(Major Cohen)Unlike the 2 of them, who can be considered just recently get to know the President in person and served under him faithfully for just now a brief amount of them, naturally they do not dared at all to talked in regards of his liking at all. But for General Lucas, he can just blabbered on his own, after all compared to many he is considered in the first generation of leaders that is close to the President and he deserved the credit to even be friendly to the President and no one can even say a single thing about it.“Anyway…I think in a few days….the war is going to be intensifies…I just got off call with the Grand General before I come here….and according to her….soon enough…the Central Region of Alemia Nation will be stormed by our attacks….so above all…we need to get ready and prepared for everything…”.(General Luc
“Well….Oliver….Grand General, the President and the Cabinet has approved the plan of attack for the Central Region…..and…their plans….were to bomb the entire place…”.(General Lucas)“Wait…they were going to Bomb the enemies?…wow…that is certainly a fearsome tactics to use…”.(Major Cohen)“Bomb?…what is that?…”.(Governor Duke Oliver)So far not many in Aeternum knows about the terms ‘Bomb’ in the military sense. As until now, there were only a few people that knows about Aeternum military capability, even in the Aeternum itself, Governor Duke Oliver naturally were still clueless about it as he didn’t know about it, and the only reason as to why Major Cohen knows about it, it is because he is a military judge who happened to be, apart of the highest position in the Aeternum Military.“Well…it meant that, the Crown Prince and Queen Romella…now have a very low chance to stay alive after the attacks begin…in fact, perhaps….the entire enemy army might just burn into ashes…Like I said before
“That is right, You Know….even for me, I have yet seen the truth with my own eyes….but I have read the reports about the Bombing actions…what it is capable of and what it can do….and let’s just say, Governor…..when that happened…it will surely changed everything…”.(Major Cohen)“I see…that is quite a shocker..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“It is mostly great for us….but for the enemy….not so much….all that I can describe is….it kinda looks like…you just hit destroys on everything you hated…you see…The Navy used these a lot…one of their favourite thing to use is..Missile….and that thing can kill up to Tier 6 Sea Monsters like it was nothing…heck, when the explosion happened…it just vanished everything that are around it…and that was on the sea…so…imagine that..”.(General Lucas)“Wow..that is just scary…then, if we were to just use these..then it would be a game changer…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)The atmosphere inside the room, silent a little bit, as General Lucas just told Duke Oli
“It is…on the terms of power and strength…when that missile hit…well, we might as well become the strongest nation on the land….perhaps…even the Battle Star empire would be wary of us….”.(General Lucas)“No, Lucas….if this goes how you said it would supposed to go….those at the empire would be scared of us and certainly back away from us in a hurry….these I guaranteed you…”(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Oh, I believe you…You see, ever since our name has been spread all over the place…those Empire guys…has started to moved against us…”.(General Lucas)“Really?..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)Now this is a piece of news that not many knows about, even some in the Cabinet can even barely heard about this, after all, this is a state secret, but not that top of a secret that no one were allowed to talk about it. Lucas naturally knew about it, and sharing it with Duke Oliver Gust and Major Cohen, as they were a member of upper echelon of Aeternum government, so these secret is something that t
“I heard that the A.C.I.A were handling them…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Yep….and those guys really handling them..playing them like a fiddle….they just poked at us a little bit…and the A.C.I.A just wiped their entire existence from inside of our nation all the way to all of our Allies nation…that sure will teach them a lesson…”.(General Lucas)“Wow….the A.C.I.A really are not messing around…they sure uphold to their reputation…”.(Major Cohen)“They always did…Honestly…all of our Military Intelligence Agent, received the A.C.I.A agents training…that just how good they are….heck…it would not be an exaggeration to say that…A.C.I.A might just be the best Intelligence Agency in the world…that guys can find out about anything if you asked them…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)To that words from Duke Oliver, Lucas just smiled and chuckled, as that statement were true. It is a common knowledge, that the A.C.I.A were a very capable government agency, but not many truly knows their true capaci
“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
