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.

“.…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
“Wait, What?…how?..”.Yggdrasil at the moment, clearly were not bothered at all by these scene, just from her expression alone I know that. These crowds usually can just stood all day and cheer, that is I know of what they are capable of, after all they can be considered a super fan. So when Yggdrasil said she were the one that thought the fans to held back I was rather curious to learn how she do it.“Well…I work here aren’t I?….I always come here after school….usually when I got here…there were a lot of people here waiting for me and cheering at me and stuff….but a lot of them just do that, and they were not buying anything….so, one time I got angry and I told them off…they cannot stay, if they aren’t buying anything…so they must leave….since then…the crowds has become like this…they stay for a little bit then left on their own…”.(Yggdrasil)“Oh really…..that is brave of you to tell them off like that..But, did you went together with your Secret Service Agent?…”.“I did….Mathild wer
“Hi Everyone!!….”.(Andrea)“Sis..you are being too loud, now…”.(Rafaela)Andrea and Rafaela just casually strode In on us, naturally both of them were still in their work clothes, Rafaela in her doctor coat and Andrea with her overall, seems like Andrea were just back or still in the middle of working in a warehouse at the moment.“...No…I am being too excited…and loud volume is just the by product of that excitement….Hi everyone……Welcome Home, Master….”.(Andrea)“Hmph~…Welcome home, Master…”.(Rafaela)Both of them, once they saw me, just like Elijah and Mina earlier, greeted me first and warmly give me a peck on my cheek first, before ruffling Yggdrasil hair who sat beside me, which prompted a pout from our little princess. With the members are gathering here, the conversation flowed normally, and even for me, I just evaded talking about work entirely and just decided for now, I wanted to take my mind of that subject for now and simply enjoyed my time for now.“...Hmm?….the Cof
“...Hmm?….the Coffee…smells..different….why is that, Yggdra?…”.“Oh..you can smell the difference, dad?….wow..that is amazing….”.(Yggdrasil)I noticed that the Coffee smells seems different than what I used to, for the cafe and as well as the coffee that were sold in Fantasma, I just decided to bring Instant coffee from earth, at the moment, the coffee trees sprout that I brought from earth were still being raised in our farmland, and so far no result on that end bear a yield, yet. Also at this moment, I already like a super human by human standard and thus my sense are sharp, so I know that there is something different about my coffee, Different that it usually smells.“Well!…that is because…the coffee that were used in your coffee….is a new type of Coffee!…..and I made them!!…”.(Yggdrasil)“Huh?…”.Now that is a shocker, Yggdrasil made them, that is rather hard to believe, but judging from her excited reaction, this seems to be 100 percent true, in fact, as I reeled back from by bri
“The reports… the soldiers… they are abandoning their posts. Even the Prime Minister has—”“I know,”she interrupted, her voice calm but laced with resignation.“Let them go. They were never loyal to me to begin with.”Her Royal Knight Commander, Lucas Perdue, entered moments later, his face grim.“Your Majesty, the palace remains secure for now, but the city is unraveling. The people are heeding Aeternum’s call, not ours. And the army… they’ve lost the will to fight.”The Queen closed her eyes, taking a deep breath.“Lucas, prepare for the inevitable. Lock down the palace. Imprison those who remain loyal to the Prime Minister and the other schemers. And… prepare for my surrender to Aeternum.”Lucas hesitated, his hand tightening on the hilt of his sword.“Are you certain, Your Majesty? To surrender is to admit—”“To admit that we’ve failed,”she finished for him.“Yes. Because we have failed. And the longer we cling to this throne, the more my people suffer….it is of no point to figh
Back at the frontlines, as soldiers readied themselves for the final march, they were moved by the reports circulating from command. The evidence of Alemia’s corruption and the suffering of its people only solidified their resolve. Around campfires and inside armored vehicles, soldiers shared their thoughts openly.One young soldier spoke with determination:“It’s not just about winning the war. We’re here to do something right—to fix what’s broken.”Another nodded, clenching her rifle tightly.“The President and the Vice President have never hidden anything from us. They’ve told us why we’re fighting, and that’s why I’d follow them anywhere.”Even the most hardened veterans were touched by the weight of their mission. One grizzled commander, looking out at the stars, muttered to himself,“We’re not just soldiers. We’re builders of a better future.”As the evening turned to night, a quiet anticipation spread across Aeternum and the liberated regions of Alemia. Farmers working their fi
“[To the citizens of Aeternum, know this: our soldiers, our leaders, and our government are united in our cause. We fight not for conquest, but for liberation. We fight to bring light to a land that has known darkness for far too long. And we fight because we believe in a better future for all.]”As she reached the conclusion of her address, Elijah’s voice softened slightly, carrying a note of hope.“[Let us move forward together—with courage, with resolve, and with the knowledge that we are on the side of justice. Aeternum stands as a beacon of hope, and together, we will bring peace to Alemia Nation. Thank you, and may we all stay safe in the hours ahead.]”The response to Elijah’s address was immediate and palpable. Across Aeternum, workers paused their tasks, families huddled around radios, and soldiers standing in the encampments felt a renewed sense of purpose.In one bustling Aeternum farm, a group of farmers stood together, their hands still muddy from the fields, listening in
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
In the heart of New City, the nerve center of Aeternum’s military operations—The Black House War Room—was abuzz with activity. Communication officers called out coordinates, screens lit up with battlefield updates, and every second was accounted for as the final stages of the Alemia campaign unfolded. Vice President Elijah, seated on the imposing Command Throne, presided over it all with her usual steely composure.But then, a phone rang—a call not routed through the usual secure military channels. The sudden interruption brought the entire room to a halt. All eyes turned to Elijah as she picked up the receiver.“This is Vice President Elijah,”she announced firmly.A familiar but timid voice greeted her.“Vice President Elijah… this is Queen Romella of Alemia.”The room fell into complete silence. Every officer present held their breath, straining to catch any hint of what was being said. The weight of the unexpected call hung heavily in the air.Elijah’s voice turned ice-cold, her t
Meanwhile, in the Aeternum camp, soldiers discussed the situation in hushed but animated tones. The transparency of the president’s leadership and the reports of the Alemia government’s incompetence had ignited a fiery determination among them.“Did you hear the latest report?”one soldier asked, leaning over his meal tray.“The queen herself admitted to being a puppet for the nobles. Can you believe that?”Another soldier scoffed.“It’s disgusting. They let their people starve and suffer while they live in luxury. No wonder Aeternum had to step in.”A younger recruit, still fresh to the army, spoke up hesitantly.“Do you think we’re really doing the right thing? Taking over an entire nation?”The veteran sitting next to him clapped him on the shoulder.“Kid, we’re not just taking over. We’re fixing what they broke. Look around you—this isn’t a war for power. It’s a war for justice.”The recruit nodded slowly, his doubts fading.“I just… I’ve never seen a leader like the president bef
“You know what I appreciate most about this war?”he asked, his voice thoughtful.“It’s the transparency. The president told us everything—why we’re here, what we’re fighting for. I’ve never served in an army like this before.”The others nodded in agreement.“That’s because there isn’t another army like this,”a veteran said proudly.“We’re not just fighting for a paycheck or some king’s ego. We’re fighting for something real—for justice, for the people who’ve been suffering under their rule.”The soldiers’ confidence was unshakable. They knew they were on the right side of history, and the enemy’s disarray only reinforced their belief in the righteousness of their cause. As the sun began to set, the Aeternum Army remained motionless, their lines unbroken, their discipline unwavering. On the horizon, the camps of Crown Prince Amariss and Queen Romella descended further into chaos, their once-proud armies teetering on the brink of collapse. Inside the Dragon One, I stood at the observ
