“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
“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 citizens can apply to appear in the Cabinet Meeting to appeal to you particular issues……even though, I am your Presidents….I am not that haughty enough to just outright ignored you all….you know that right?…”.I uttered this is an approachable manner, speaking in a humorous and smiling style so that they wont be too nervous about it, than they already are.“Of..of course, Your Highness…we didn’t know about that before..but now we do…surely we all are going to follow the procedure correctly…”.(Orthum Bronzehammer)“Sure…it’s good to see you again, Lieutenant…looks like working as a chairman for the Association has helped you regain your vigor again…”.“Hahaha..Thank you, Boss….”.(Orthum Bronzehammer)“Anyway….so…why you all wanted to meet me?…”.
At first, even with professional teams and structured matches, the stadiums weren’t full. People didn’t understand why they should care. But then… he first matches were broadcasted on television. And suddenly, everything changed.For the first time, people saw their own cities competing. New City United vs. Shark Bay FC. Ironridge Titans vs. Silverport Eagles. Blazing Tundra vs. Redwood Strikers.It wasn’t just football anymore—these were their cities, their teams, their pride. And when fans saw their teams winning, they felt the rush of victory. When they saw their teams losing, they felt the bitterness of defeat.The spark had been ignited. Soon enough… Supporters’ clubs started popping up. Fans flooded stadiums on weekends. People debated tactics in bars, cafes, and workplaces. Children started dreaming of becoming professional players.Saturdays and Sundays were now known as Football Days, where everyone tuned in to watch their favorite teams battle for supremacy.The AFL wasn’t j
“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
