Listening to Elijah, now my interest has pique, after all, Yggdrasil is my child, and knowing that she learned from me quite a lot, I wondered would she be able to copied my vision for the business as well, but perhaps I have to limit my expectation a little bit, after all she is still a child.“Okay…but you know, I kinda worried about her now…Yggdrasil tend to wanted to work..rather than play like any other child at her age….will she be fine?..”.(Mina)“.….She will be just fine….beside she asked for this herself….as a Princess of Aeternum, and also our daughter…she need to be challenged a little bit….we cannot coddled her all the time…”.(Elijah)“Really?…but still a balance must be there, Sis…”.(Mina)When it comes to parenting, each one carried their personality with them and tried to influence their child as they wanted. Whilst Elijah were strict with her style, Mina were much more loving and overtly pampering towards Yggdrasil, like this, it was more balanced, which is good for Yg
“Sir President, Madam’s…we have arrived…”.(Lieutenant Colonel Sareen)“Oh..thank you, Sareen…Ladies, Let’s go….”.As my SUV came to a stop, all the Secret Service agents, naturally did their duty first, by securing the perimeter and the threat assessment first. And only then will my car door be opened, and as always the person that opened the door, is Sareen, informing us that we have already arrived at the cafe. I come out first, then followed by Elijah and Mina, all 3 of us were still in our work uniform so we really stand out in the public compared to everyone else in our surrounding. As soon as we stepped out, there were already crowds forming right outside the perimeter of the shop and on the side walk, so instead we instantly became a spectacle to the public.“These people seems a bit too early to just comes and gather here…”.I can only smile and waved at the crowd that seems to me just magically multiply by the second as we were here.“The news of your arrival back, were publi
“The news of your arrival back, were publicized on the radio…so there were already a few gathered at the Airport…then I guess they followed us here….and also…this area are right next to the mall…this place is always congested with people…”.(Elijah)“That, Makes sense, I guess….”.What Elijah said does makes sense, then again, my popularity are no joke here in Aeternum. After all, celebrity are not yet being made, even the Radio Drama that I created were still in it’s earliest bud, I guess, after this war, perhaps I can the Aeternum entertainment program, just so this world will be more colorful.Then again, making an entertainment industry in these day and age, especially in the medieval times, is quite a precarious moves. In medieval times and in Fantasma age right now, Fame is a deadly thing, especially when the noble and strength base society were prominent. Let’s just say, people at this time and age, when there is something that are beautiful and famous, they can just easily beca
“.…Welcome~….Eh?…Dad, Mom?…”.(Yggdrasil)“Hmm?….Yggdra?….hey…what are you doing here at this time?…”.As my mind were adrift on my thoughts, when I walked towards the shop counter, the one that was behind the cashier machine, were Yggdrasil, my little princess, standing on a stool and operation the machine with a smile on her face, in a full employee get up complete with her hat and apron. When she spoke, she here visibly shocked to see me and her mothers before her, it seems like she were skipping school this time, as right now it was still 10 in the morning and the school were clearly in session.“...ah….ummm….I’m just looking around at the shop?…”.(Yggdrasil)“.…..Then why are you wearing your work uniform and greeting customers?……you know, your moms will be coming after you right?…”.“Um….”.(Yggdrasil)I can see the panic in her eyes right now, when I said that her mom’s would surely grilled her, when she got back. Elijah and Mina saw her already, stunned and petrified befo
“.…Welcome~….Eh?…Dad, Mom?…”.(Yggdrasil)“Hmm?….Yggdra?….hey…what are you doing here at this time?…”.As my mind were adrift on my thoughts, when I walked towards the shop counter, the one that was behind the cashier machine, were Yggdrasil, my little princess, standing on a stool and operation the machine with a smile on her face, in a full employee get up complete with her hat and apron.

“...I am so sorry, Your Highness….I just can’t stop her at all….”.(Store Manager Corn)Store Manager Corn, is a 2.5 meter tall, Werewolf, a giant of a person, very menacing even. But in truth he is very calm and docile person, despite his race and looks, he is an Sergeant Army veteran, and what is funny about him is that he is named Corn by his previous slaver, and that is because he is a Vegan Werewolf and actually allergic to meat. And he is also here as a protection initiative for Yggdrasil, of which I personally put him here.“It’s Okay, Corn….I guess she used her Owner privileges on you and her Princess title…right?..”.“Yeah….”.(Store Manager Corn)“Don’t worry..it’s fine…..that is on her’s….her mother will scold her personally….just make sure when she is here…you make sure she is safe…”.“That is given, Your Highness…as long as I am here..nothing bad will ever happened to the Princess..rest assured, Sir….and here is your order, sir….let me bring it to your table, Your Highness…
“Thank you, Corn…I appreciate it…”.I smiled and started to walks upstairs following behind corn and his staff carrying trays of my orders. At the same time, I felt a tug on my pants from behind, and only to looked back at Yggdrasil grabbing my pants with both of her hands. And when we met eyes, she gave me her best puppy eyes, clearly begging me to save her from the wrath of her mothers.“Daddy…help…”.(Yggdrasil)“…I help you these time, Kiddo….at home, you will have to deal with your mothers, by yourself okay?…”.“...Alright~…”.(Yggdrasil)Hearing my answer she is slightly beamed, but then got shot down and depressed at the same time. Being her saviour at this time, I gently picked her up and carried her in my arms, then turned to Elijah and Mina, who is at the moment fuming with anger.“Alright now, Ladies….calm down for now….let’s saved it, when we got back home….let the child eat for now…beside…it has been awhile since she spend time with all of us together right?…(Act, Cu
“…..Alright….But, Yggdrasil….you, young lady, we will have a talk with you later at home….”.(Mina)The one that replied to me was Mina, whilst Elijah were still staring at Yggdrasil menacingly, though with my words she eventually had to let go of her anger towards her for now. So at the very least for now, Yggdrasil is safe, that is only until night time when everyone were home at the end of the day, Andrea, Rafaela will join us later, Bina were still in the Eastern Alemia Region, she are taking over my position for now, after all I can’t just leave the war front leadership position vacant, even for a short time.With that all 4 of us, just walked upstairs headed to our reserved spot on the first floor, naturally it’s a window side section, since I love an area that overlooked the outside of the street whilst I enjoyed my time here. Everything were great naturally, although when we came here there were crowds outside the shop and on the side of the street. Now, it seems that th
“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
