“Oh, by the way…how does our populace react to our campaign as of recently?…”.Right now we are already inside the Black House and inside my office right now. Elijah and Andrea is with me, as they too have a work to deal with me as well.“The reaction is positive…everyone understood and of supportive of our campaign, they know and already implanted in their minds that the Alemia Region is rightfully ours and should be better of under us…”.(Elijah)“Really?…Wow, that’s nice…”.“it is all thanks to, Miss Renee Coral and her youth troupe….they actually rallied out everyone to their cause…and with our support and reach…their claims reach even further….all thanks to her background and fiery speech..she managed to changed the narrative from us conquering Alemia Nation to us, Freeing and also claiming our rightful place….”.(Andrea)“Woah….that’s unexpected of her to do so…and the people actually accepted her?…”.“The people did….after all, her name…Coral…do bear some weight….Once She reveal
“Anyway….it seems that the Queen Duchess caught the news that you were back…and looks like the Western Allied Nation, wants to discuss about the offer that we were giving…”.(Elijah)“She is quite perceptive aren’t she?….”.“Considering her nation situation, she sure wanted to get that offer from us….she had just culled a large portion of her labour force….and she need to replenished that aspect fast…”.(Andrea)“Well…I will be leaving tomorrow anyway..might as well squeeze in her in my schedule before I left then…”.Queen Duchess Angela sure are steadfast as she has always does, she knows when to grab an opportunity and how to turned something to her favour. I know what she had done on her side, she had basically took my advice on purging her own corrupted people and took control of her own nation and solidify it. In one of our meetings, I noticed that Dukedom of Angela foundation as a nation were starting to get rotten secretly, so I pointed it out to her and suggest the simplest solu
To be quite honest, these 2 nation were just nothing but a headache to me, Battle Star Empire with their never ending envy and stupidity. And as for the Kingdom of Hallerus with their ignorance and just idiocy on every single aspect of their ruling. For a nation that I have personally saved and taught them how to effective rule their nation, after I left, they still haven’t being able to stabilized their nation, instead as soon as I left they are now busy stabbing each others backs just to sit on the throne. Not that I would care about them anymore, but the problem is they were just next door to me, and their issue were just constantly popped up near me, and they basically can’t even hide it anymore. More and more Hallerus citizens wanted to escape to Aeternum, but due to my order of closing the border to Hallerus, no one on that side can enter at all, which unintentionally has created a massive problem in the border side of Hallerus and Aeternum, nowadays.Hallerus Kingdom is not a s
As I slaves away in my office today, to the point where I slept inside my own office in the Black House without going home, the thought of future threats just constantly stayed inside my mind, it just hovered on top of my head as I constantly doing the paperwork on my desk, leaving the nation for a bit for war, the work back home started to piled up. Still it was reassuring to read and signed all these documents as it stated that Aeternum were still going strong the entire time.“Sire, Your Coffee and breakfast is here…”.(Andrea)“ah..thank you, Andrea…”.Pushing the cart filled with breakfast and coffee next to my desk, Andrea and Elijah has already arrived to the office and accompanied me inside my office, making the atmosphere inside my office felt a little more vibrant early in the morning.“Here’s the files for today Cabinet meeting, Master…..I see that you were looking at the Kingdom of Hallerus files….are you interested in them?…”.(Elijah)Elijah come over and put down a folder
“Here’s the files for today Cabinet meeting, Master…..I see that you were looking at the Kingdom of Hallerus files….are you interested in them?…”.(Elijah)Elijah come over and put down a folder for me on my desk and her eyes catch a glimpse of the information folder of Hallerus Kingdom, thus spark the interest from her side.“Interested, concern and also looking forward for their progress….what are your opinion on their state now, Elijah?….”.Although there is a constant surveillance on the Kingdom of Hallerus state, with the A.C.I.A agents all over the corners of the entire Kingdom and information constantly coming in. Personally I wanted some insight from Elijah as I know if there is any opinion that I should take a weigh on, it was hers, and I am sure that she also have the same insight on that nation as me.“Well….it’s a mess… and also just ticking time bomb…Princess…oh no….Queen Helen…can’t rule properly…her uncle has shown hiss true color as soon as we walked out on them….and wi
Queen Helen Hallerus, the betrayer in my account of hers, now she realized and as well as everyone else also realizes, that when Aeternum retreated, we also brought everyone with us, and hence left them alone, and in turned leave her alone as well. And thus her backing just vanish into the thin air, even with Duke Merrica behind her, she can’t stood for long as she only have 2 noble family behind her, and the rest that used to be behind her has now shown their fangs as well, now that we were gone. And right now, her backing has been reduced to just one, the Murr Family, now that her ‘uncle’ Count Kabronel Carou has decided to no longer wanted to play ball.“Also at the moment, aside from us…Dukedom of Angela all the way to Visma Nation…all of them were bidding their time to wait for that critical moment….and when that happened, everyone wanted to shave off Hallerus Kingdom land and power for themselves…”.(Elijah)“Really?..”.“Yes…Queen Duchess herself has talked with me secretly befo
“I guess, Perhaps my next meeting with Queen Duchess sure does have a lot of agenda that we can talk about…”.“If we were going to dive into Hallerus Kingdom….I sure hope that we can settle things with Alemia Nation first…after all, we as Aeternum should really step carefully in Hallerus Kingdom…..our story with them were still fresh in everyone’s minds…”.(Elijah)“Sure…I’ll remember that….our last effort sure are a mess….nowadays, I wondered what is going on with Duke Merrica…he sure got it bad these days…”.“Aside from the sitting Queen….he sure does have a hard time…he had to sacrifice a lot of his influence to keep his niece on the throne…and with us backing away from him and his territory..it was safe to say that they just got back to their dark time…”.(Elijah)Duke Merrica is one cool dude, but unfortunately we fell out of favour, with him standing beside his niece who is now a queen and the entire nation policy is against me, we had to backed away from him, his territory. His t
“Aside from the sitting Queen….he sure does have a hard time…he had to sacrifice a lot of his influence to keep his niece on the throne…and with us backing away from him and his territory..it was safe to say that they just got back to their dark time…”.(Elijah)Duke Merrica is one cool dude, but unfortunately we fell out of favour, with him standing beside his niece who is now a queen and the entire nation policy is against me, we had to backed away from him, his territory. His territory is sure his one big customer for Aeternum merchandise and service. It was quite a sizeable loss for Aeternum, but since we were already on this path, there no turning back anymore, each of us had to chose our side and our own ways.“It’s not like we don’t warn them about the repercussion to go against us…..so they deserved this treatment from us…..anyway, when will the meeting start?..”.“at 9 in the morning, about 2 hours from now…Everyone are already here…even our latest Governor already arrived wit
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
