“As you all know…our Aeternum, is constantly evolving and improving…and thus for this we need more and more talented, dedicated and also visionary leaders within our midst…and hence this Election method…is something I created for that aim…for a modern nation that will always strive to be better…it is time for us to include the voices of our people and prompted up the new generations among us….and thus, Under command and decree…I wanted all 4 Ministry joined by 4 Governors to present to me 4 candidates… 2 candidates for each positions…and of those 4…we will elect 2 candidates to become the Temporary Overseer….also please keep in mind, that all 4 candidates will be personally reviewed by me….remember…this is our first step towards the future…”.The entire cabinet hall were silent for a little bit, as everyone took their time to think about what I just said and the information to sink in. After all, I have just defy the normalcy of thing by giving the people a power to elect their own le
“Aren’t the timing for this is a little bit early?..”.(Elijah)As I got back to my seat, Elijah lean in closer to me and asked, election procedure is something that we both have discussed and agreed that it should be held at some point, but I supposed it caught her off guards that I held it here.“...probably…but it is an appropriate time and also suitable for us to test whether it work or not…since the chances comes up for it…I think, it is about time we do it…”.“If you say so…then I supposed that it is my time to put forward my candidates…I already have one person in mind for that position…”.(Elijah)“.…I see…then all the more great that is….I am hoping to see some qualify individual to take up that task…”.“Naturally, Master…you can be excited about it…”.(Elijah)When she put it that way, as always I can’t help but felt a little bit excited about the entire thing, knowing her she would naturally put someone that is capable and probably the most ideal person on that positions after
All of Aeternum domestic project were going as planned without any issues at all, be it the interstate highway project or any project at all, all of them were either on schedule or above schedule. After all, all thanks to Aeternum modern machinery and labour division, all works can be done faster than ever, it is not an exaggeration to say that at the moment, Aeternum perhaps the only nation in Central Continent that have a professional workforce and labour, and this help Aeternum to surpassed any nation when it comes to working in a mega project. As always Queen Duchess who also inside the meeting hall, were left with her mouth agape with shock as she listened all the mega project being done faster left and right. Even for the Dukedom of Angela, they too have a mega project of their owned, but yet they only capable of doing just one of that and even that they were struggling, whilst before her eyes Aeternum were doing the same scale of project left and right.“...I must say…you Aeter
“...I must say…you Aeternum truly never ceased to amazed me…Constructing Airport of the size of 2 Kilometer wide…on top of that at all 5 location at the same time….that is just marvelous feat of humanity at that point…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Even I heard it..still struggle to believe it…but since I have seen it myself…as the Airport were being built at my city…I learn to accept it…”.(Queen Zanesia Von Zaredon)As the Cabinet Meeting has conclude, we all went out of the building and about to go to have our private meeting as promised, Queen Duchess as always still in awed and find a solace to discussed about it with a fellow Queen, Queen Zanesia Von Zaredon. If it any normal medieval people surely they would already faint with the shock.“Setting that aside…don’t you have something to talked with me?…”.“Yes, I do…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)Just as we are about to get on our vehicle, I turned back to Queen Duchess Angela that has just done with her small talk.“We can just head to the
“Everyone, Please come in…and make yourself comfortable….”.I can comfortably say this, as I know that my office will always be in a pristine state, no matter how hectic my schedule are, after all Alfred were there to correct everything and managed the cleanliness of every government building and he even put an overemphasized on my things.“So let is just cut straight to the point…..I heard..that you want a priority on our labour purchase…correct?…”.“Yes, we do, Your highness…since Aeternum are offering to do so….we would like to be considered as the first on the list…As you know….we are currently in the state of redeveloping our own land at the moment…and due to our recent side activities…our labour forces has down slightly…”.(Count Leonard/Dukedom of Angela Prime Minister)“.…I see…Elijah, Andrea…what is our feasibility on this?..”.The one that answering my straight question is Count Leonard, the Prime Minister of Dukedom and Queen Duchess most reliable and trustworthy aide, who h
When it comes to any nation shortage of labour, of all the allied nation Dukedom of Angela were the apparent one with this issue, but they weren’t the only one who vastly interested in trading slaves. For example on the Eastern alliance, the Grand Coastal City of Meerkat are also very interested in this trade, as they were actually one of the biggest trader in the Eastern hemisphere of the Central Continent, and they are known to be the hub for slave trading, although in a modern world this type of trade is frowned upon, here in Fantasma, a medieval world. This is just a normal thing, and thus as one of a player in this world stage, Aeternum had to follow along, but still as always in Aeternum I had set up a law and order to make sure that this kind of activity were limited in Aeternum.Also, what Elijah meant, is that it is better to deal with Dukedom of Angela in this trade, as we know in compared to other nations, in Dukedom, they tend to align themselves with Aeternum culture and
“Sir…my I proposed one thing?..”.(Minister Andrea)“Sure…what is it?…”.“How about we…appointed Dukedom Of Angela as our designated seller for the labour that we obtained in this war….as we all need to focus on the war efforts and a lot of other things…with Dukedom as our designated seller…this will take a lot of burden and time of our shoulders…”.(Minister Andrea)“.…Hmmm….should we?…..I mean…..Prime Minister Leonard….would you be willing to take this deal instead?..”.“Umm….”.(Prime Minister Leonard)This change of deal, is not the kind that was downgrade, but instead it was an upgrade. Essentially I am offering them to be the trader on behalf of Aeternum. In an instant, Count Leonard understood the meaning of this hence he was a little bit taken aback and actually had to turned his head back to his Queen Duchess for help.“Are you sure about this, Mies?..”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“I am actually….to be honest...I don’t have that many free time to engage in this new type of business v
“Are you sure about this, Mies?..”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“I am actually….to be honest...I don’t have that many free time to engage in this new type of business ventures…since you need this labour injections…so why not…you heard Andrea right?….so..what do you say, Angela?..”.As we both turned to each others and talk, everyone in the room were visibly silenced, as everyone can see that we both talk on equal footing and also a very friendly manners, just like a close friends. Naturally others cannot do this kind of interactions, but for them to see this I supposed that it was very unexpected for it to happened.“...I don’t see why not….it is a good venture for us…and as you know…when it comes to that type of commodity…we tend to deal with it delicately…after all…we don’t want to let this deal to became a tool for the others to use it against us….”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“I thought that as well….The Grand Coastal City of Meerkat already made an offer as well….but you know them…they just
“Then let’s make history. Order the Navy Fleet 01 to launch three additional Type-1 Missiles. Targets: The East, North, and West gates of the capital.”The entire command bridge fell into stunned silence.Every officer, every technician, every strategist momentarily froze. Their eyes flickered with a mix of shock and anxiety as they processed my command. Even the seasoned veterans among them seemed momentarily taken aback.It was one thing to deploy a single missile.But three at once?That wasn’t just warfare—it was an annihilation order.Bina, Lucas, and Eliza, who had been following the situation via video conference, immediately reacted. Their holographic images flickered on the massive display before me, each one expressing their own unique emotions.Bina, ever the stoic and composed tactician, furrowed her brows, tapping her fingers against the table.“Mr. President… I assume you understand the full implications of this move?”I met her gaze without hesitation.“I do. This is th
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
