“Thank you, my fellow Cabinet members for your welcome and support, Madam Speaker, Your Highness President, Madam Vice President and Madam Ministers..This is my very First to come up here and delivered my report for my Regions….so understandably at the moment…I am quite nervous…Hahaha…but also…I am very proud to be here and speak as a part of our Great Aeternum government….”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)Everyone were looking at him with sense of fondness and welcoming camaraderie, everyone can see that the Duke were ecstatic at the moment, but were doing well covering his nervous nerve at the moment.“.….Sir Governor Duke…please proceed with your report, please…”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“Ah!…the report!…hahaha…I almost forgot about it…first time nervousness I guess…alright here we go…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)Anyone with a sound mind can see that he is currently still very nervous and excited to finally stand and do his job inside the Cabinet Hall. After all it was his dream to
“At the moment, as our war progressed…The Gust Region, which is under my governing…are doing perfectly well…all of our border whether it is sided to the Central Alemia or our other borders, all of it were well guarded and following the protocol…..so far we have no monster outbreak, no Dungeon breaks as well…”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)“Congratulations, Governor Duke Oliver…but what about the Crime rates in your region…I am hearing that recently there is an increase of Bandits…”.(Minister Mina)“Thank you for your Question, Madam Minister Mina, about that increased of Bandits…we have determined that those folks hailed from the Southern Region…It seems that our Forces in Southern Region has been harsh to them…and thus they chose to run into my territory…but it would not be an issue at all…The Police Force paired with my Oliver Family Knights are in a cooperation to cull these Bandits numbers…surely we can expect a good news in a few weeks time..”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)As Always
“Cabinet Hall, now welcome, His Highness President Mies to the stage…”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)Naturally as for the starter as usual, the Cabinet members welcomed me their standing ovation and cheers as always.“Thank you, My fellow Countrymen and women, for your warm welcome…I must say, I am very pleased and happy to see all of our Cabinet members were working hard and devoted to your duties…despite our nation are in a very busy state….to that, as your President…I thank you all…”.“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..It’s our Honor, to do so, Your Highness…”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)As always, it is crucial to show an appreciation to those that are working hard behind the scene, and with that little gesture from me, the crowds were filled with happy cheers and their morale were lifted even more, I am sure that even those that were listening were definitely feeling proud of themselves. After this little gesture from me, is truly a feature that differ
“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)Once again, thunderous claps filled the entire building as I announced this fact. It was understandable after all, the official statement only stated the Eastern Region were the only one that has been fully conquered, I have blocked the information regarding the success on the Southern Region. As always there are those that are in the Cabinet Hall knows about the full progress, but there are a lot of people still oblivious about it, and this is the first time that the learned about the success on the Southern Front.“Under the successful attack by our Proud and Mighty Navy, the Southern Alemia Region, has now finally been fully liberated…from the Alemia Nation reign of tyranny and Evil….With the Leadership of Admiral Duchess Kolarova Qoon Eloesa, the first city to be reclaimed is Pearl City….Our Navy forces, managed to claimed the city with minimal casualties on the citizens side…whilst have done full damage to our enemies…”.“’Liberated
“Ever Since our forces has successfully liberated the 2 region…I can now truly say that, the better day has come for the People of those region and the region itself….No more uncertainty or fear, no more injustice that stemmed from the Noble class and the poor Alemia Governments….no more of those dark days remained…As soon as I set step into that Sunders City, we have culled the Evil baron powers and punished the Sunders Family of their evil atrocities…”.“Clap!..Clap!..Clap!..”.(Cabinet Hall Attendee)“At the same time, We are also enacting Aeternum Governance in these liberated region…from Local Police all the way to hospital, we strive to open and provide all the basic necessity for the people…Not to mention, our Soldiers are also working hard to hunt down criminals and monsters that has been plaguing the land….With this, I am positive to say…Perhaps…by the time this war to be conclude…these region will already being fully integrated into our Aeternum…”.Certainly the claps that I
“Your Highness President…will the border be opened and also any trade activities can be done any time soon?…A lot of our merchants, Citizens and also our 3 Major Association has been asking and inquiring about this matter…”.(Minister Andrea)As anyone that stood to speak in the Cabinet Hall, they had to do some Q&A for a little bit, naturally that also includes me. As always this part of the Meeting is always seems odd and controversial to many, as in Central Continent or in fact the entire Fantasma, questioning a Monarch is just a big NO, in everyone dictionary, but here in Aeternum, we reversed that perception and thus creating a more trustworthy and prestigious image to the Aeternum royal family and also me, the President.“At the moment, we are working towards that path…at the moment, all of our military activities were in a full swing….we are establishing not only a safe environment in the region…but also law and order…both crucial aspect that has basically gone for a long time i
“At the moment, we are working towards that path…at the moment, all of our military activities were in a full swing….we are establishing not only a safe environment in the region…but also law and order…both crucial aspect that has basically gone for a long time in that region……As the Aeternum President and the leader of this military campaign…I hate to see my people be harm in these newly established region…Until our standard of safety were achieved, that border will remained close..”.This might sounded like I am unnecessarily strict on my policy, and it might just be ridiculous for me to deny everything from coming into Alemia Region. But this is a stance that I refuse to budge on and for everyone to just accept that fact. After all, at the end of the day, although I am a bit lax compared to other monarch, this government is still move under my command and this is something that the people had to accept. But naturally I had to put this out as subtle as it can be delivered, just to a
“I have an inquiry, Your Highness, I hope that Your highness can clarify on it…When, will we resume our Liberation campaign?…extending it more inwards?..”.(Governor Countess Jelina)Governess Countess Jelina questions is a well placed and a well timed questions, well actually it was a scripted question, provided from me, just so that I wont be caught unprepared. After all I wanted these Meeting to go on smoothly, and having to be side track at all time is not going to help me at all.“We will assume the campaign…as soon as the current region has been stabilized and good for us to no longer have any lingering concern of it…as for now, of those 2 region…we will need to employ a temporary overseer for those regions..so that the development and the security of those region were not compromised as we all moved forwards with the war…Hence the reason as to why I am here today…in these meeting…we will be electing the Temporary Overseer for the Alemia Eastern Region and the Southern Region…as
I knew what was at stake. We had to uphold this example. We had to show, beyond doubt, that the age of “Human First” was over.That the only supremacy left was the supremacy of character. Wisdom. Unity. Vision. And if we could carve that truth into the very soul of the UNA—if we could bury the old hatreds under libraries, not graves—then maybe, just maybe, this world could finally, finally leave its chains behind.I stood up from my chair, moving to the window. Out there, the city pulsed—an endless, living testament to what was possible when walls were torn down, not built higher. I closed my eyes for a moment. I didn’t want to be remembered as the conqueror of nations. I wanted to be remembered as the architect of a new era.One where no child was born inferior. One where no citizen was condemned by the shape of their ears or the color of their skin or the tail on their back. One where power didn’t mean oppression—but opportunity.Aeternum would be the beacon. And the UNA? The vessel
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
