“...I assumed…you Ladies had already talked about this, and already reached an agreements?..”.“Yes, We have….we talked about it awhile back….after all, all of us agreed…that their transgression are already too much…and it’s started to become a hassle for all of us…”.(Andrea)Backing up Elijah, Andrea speak up. Naturally all of them were already agreed that something need to be done, after all the amount of spies that the empire had sent relentlessly to infiltrate Aeternum is about to become unbearable, so this needs to stop now, for them. Needless to say, I also had seen the numbers of arrested spies, and to be honest, I am rather impressed at the Empire to be able to sent that many professional and wasted it on us.“Well…if you all, already agreed…then..it’s fine with me…”.People in these medieval era were too boastful, filled with inflated ego, and just to hard headed to acknowledge that they have lost, and they should take a step back. It was the day and age where words and honou
“I guess…that should settled the problems, with the spies then…”.(Andrea)“We will strike them so fast and so hard that they will be dazed for days…”.(Elijah)“Alright, Ladies…ease up, on the tension…Our kid, is here…”.Both of them just flashes the devilish smiles that their pretty face can do, and truth to be told, I am sure that they both will give the Empire hell, for what they have done. Their intent were bubbling up so I had to suppressed it as Yggdrasil were here. Yggdrasil were still happy being surrounded by me and her mothers, so for her it was all a good time, it has been quite awhile since we all just sat down together and just lounge about, enjoying each other company.“Dad….when will you be done..with that war?….”.(Yggdrasil)“It shouldn’t take too long, Yggdra…but even so…I need to make sure that everything went well…without a hitch…after all….War and fighting…must be done with a perfect planning and execution….so no rush…”.Done with napping for a few minutes in Mina a
“This war…that we wage…is necessary…a lot of people were being treated unfairly and just abandoned there…so although we were fighting..but ultimately..we are also saving these unfortunate people…and also bring some order to those land…”.“So…we are doing a noble job then?..”.(Yggdrasil)“In away…yes….but always remember this….when you decided to do something like this….weight out the outcome first..the benefits and the minus….it a big thing to do…so always think twice about it…”.“YES FATHER!..”.(Yggdrasil)Yggdrasil performed a perfect salute at me, of which I humbly replied to her. I know that she is absorbing and processing everything I taught her, and she are capable of comprehending even the hardest thing I thrown at her, this is her attributes and personality, even at a young age, she have already shaped herself to become my heir. Of which I have never imposed on her that responsibility at all, she just took it on her own, so I have decided if she is going to put herself on this
Our little family outing can be said a relaxing one to me, as we all able to simply just sit out her talks and relaxing with each other. Although our ranks in these society were high, still I enjoyed this kind of commoner style outings. Usually for nobles and royalty they always hanged out at those high end places, but only in Aeternum where the Nobles can be seen just hanged out at a place like this. Perhaps they all were just getting influenced by me, or maybe, it was because thanks to the modern designed of all Aeternum shops, that the high society were able to not be embarrassed to be seen eating or dining in the franchise style restaurant or cafe.“Like I said before….My association can help a lot…with everything!….war, battle..monster hunting…or even just help with transporting supply…we can do it!….Can you just arranged a meeting with Minister Andrea, Please?..”.(Orthum Bronzehammer)“That’s right, Madam Countess…even on my side…my Adventurer guild members…can also help with an
Out of nowhere, the silence on the 1st floor of the cafe were slightly broken. The 1st floor itself were big, and our reservation area, were actually on the entire right side of the floor, which have it’s own balcony and outdoor area as well as a barrier, barring the common floor and the VIP area. The one that were recently coming up from the floor were surprisingly, Countess Jelina and the 3 Aeternum Association Chairman, Claire Valkary, Orthum Bronzehammer and Sith Rik. They were very striking, as the 2 female were Human, one Dwarf and one Dragonnewt , and all 3 of them were clearly pestering Jelina for something, neither of them notices us on the same floor as them.“Even so!…it is hard…His highness President is in New Sunders City right now…in the middle of the war…I might be able to reach, Madam Vice President about this….but I want to remind you all….that I am not promising anything….”.(Governess Countess Jelina)“That’s right…you shouldn’t Promise anything at all….also…stop bei
“That’s right…you shouldn’t Promise anything at all….also…stop being so loud…inside..there are other customer here, Jelina….”.(Elijah)Elijah decided to announced our presence here, perhaps slightly annoyed that our peace were disturb right now. She is known to be a bit sensitive when being disturbed of her peace, on the other hand, I am just watching them with interest, and actually very interested when I heard, Sith Rik mentioned that having a meeting with me, is especially difficult. I know for a fact, that I am open for meeting with anyone, should they followed the process correctly and asked for my audience., unlike any other Royals in Fantasma, I might the only Royals that is easier to meet with.“Madam Vice President?!!….Madam ministers, Princess…and even His Highness President?!…..Ah…my apologies, Madam Vice President, Sire President…”.(Governess Countess Jelina)“Please forgive us, Your Highnesses!…”.(Claire Valkary, Orthum Bronzehammer & Sith Rik)When they noticed all of us
Seeing that I already cut off their way out of here, for sure right now all that they can do is enjoyed their brunch in an awkward pace, meanwhile me, Elijah and the others were still in the same mood as we were before. Right now, I am sure that what they just discussing earlier, they know that we heard them and for now, they are slowly stewing in that knowing.“Look….you don’t mind, if I joined you all right?…”.“is..is it fine, Your Highness?..we..don’t mind if you wanted to sit with us…in fact, it was our honor….”.(Governess Countess Jelina)By now, if I just left them alone, that would be cruel of me to do so, as right now, all 4 of them were just silently sipping and biting on their brunch in an awkward silence, so I joined them.“It is fine…Yggdrasil, were playing with her mothers so…it’s cool and all..Anyway…I heard that you, Sith Rik..wanted to see me…but can’t…why is that?…”.“Umm….”.(Sith Rik)Like a worker got caught talking behind their boss, whilst they were talking about
“It is fine…Yggdrasil, were playing with her mothers so…it’s cool and all..Anyway…I heard that you, Sith Rik..wanted to see me…but can’t…why is that?…”.“Umm….”.(Sith Rik)Like a worker got caught talking behind their boss, whilst they were talking about him, Sith Rik tongue were tied for a few seconds, and he could only muttered ‘umm’ for a little bit. Not that I am that petty to implicate him or anything I just genuinely wanted to know what they were on about. Meeting me is sure are quite hard, but not entirely impossible, most of the hassle is that one had to wait for a few days at the very least, as I have quite a busy schedule, as I am the President of a nation and I definitely can’t just meet with someone just because they wanted to.“You know, if you all wanted to meet me…just booked an appointment at my Secretary office….and they will arranged you all a meeting time with me…or you can just wait for the Cabinet Meeting to happened….and then you..as well as other concerned citiz
At 6:45 AM, the order was given. Admiral Duchess Kolarova, commanding the Navy Fleet from the southern front, initiated the launch sequence. The missile streaked across the sky like a comet, its white trail a harbinger of devastation.From the Dragon One, I stood on the bridge, watching intently as the missile’s trajectory was displayed on the holographic screens. My officers around me held their breath, anticipation thick in the air.A few moments later, the missile hit its mark. The explosion that followed was nothing short of spectacular. The Alemia Capital City gates were obliterated, along with the surrounding walls and everything within a 100-meter radius. Dust and debris rose into the sky like a dark mushroom cloud, blotting out the early morning sun.The impact was beyond what any of us had anticipated. The "lowest-grade" missile had proven to be anything but low-grade.The news of the missile strike spread like wildfire through the Aeternum ranks. Soldiers, commanders, and of
BOOM!The object slammed into the city gates, unleashing a deafening explosion that shook the ground beneath their feet. The shockwave rippled outward, sending soldiers sprawling and shattering windows across the city. Dust and debris filled the air as the once-mighty gates crumbled into a smoking ruin.Amariss stumbled backward, his sword clattering to the ground as he stared in horror at the devastation.“What… what is this? What is happening?!”he stammered, his voice trembling with fear. In the distance, the Aeternum Navy Fleet stood poised, their warships bristling with firepower. The single missile had been a warning—a demonstration of Aeternum’s overwhelming strength and precision. And it had achieved its purpose.The soldiers of Amariss’s army, already demoralized and terrified, broke ranks almost immediately. Dropping their weapons and abandoning their positions, they fled in every direction, their panic spreading like wildfire.“Come back! COME BACK, YOU COWARDS!”Amariss sc
“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
