“I am just testing the waters….it is true that the Noble faction there tried to get their dirty hands on my territory….so I retaliate in response….but upon me acting on it…I figured out that what they have there is nothing but a paper tiger…In just a single attack from me….my army managed to break through 5 territory out of the 12 territory inside the Western Region of Hallerus…..even I were shocked to that extent….to just how weak they are..”.(Queen Duchess Angela)Now that is some surprising numbers and shows just how futile and arrogant the Hallerus Kingdom Western Region nobles are. They have no actual powers at all, yet were fuel with their arrogance to them claiming the win of their recent win. It even made the Queen Duchess bewildered, and she had to put a stop to that advance army of hers before things got escalated even more. Even so as the Dukedom of Angela and the Allied Force Army retreated to the Dukedom border, somehow, the Western Nobles through their hubris and arrogan
“If they are weak…then it would be much more easier to get those region for free..right?….since you have been given green light….in my opinion…why not you just get a move on early….just make those region secretly yours right now…..I am sure that you can do it….”.(Elijah)“If you said it like that…..I guess I can do something…should I?….I should right?…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Of course you should….How about…you put your puppets…in place of those that you already conquered..and have them played both sides….therefore…when the Queen looked around..she will found no problem there…whilst in reality…those region is already yours…”.(Elijah)“Wow..Elijah…you think of such sinister ideas just right now..and just said it casually, before me….that is cold blooded of you…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Cold Blooded?…Heh…this is just so basic level scheming that we do everyday..at the A.C.I.A….changing the landscape for our benefits..without anyone knowing….it made it easier to control a nation that wa
“Wow..Elijah…you think of such sinister ideas just right now..and just said it casually, before me….that is cold blooded of you…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Cold Blooded?…Heh…this is just so basic level scheming that we do everyday..at the A.C.I.A….changing the landscape for our benefits..without anyone knowing….it made it easier to control a nation that way….it is much easier to just convert a land that is apart a nation…without spilling to many bloods…”.(Elijah)Although Elijah might sounded haughty and arrogant at the moment. There is nothing Queen Duchess Angela can say to refute her, as she’s also know how insidious the A.C.I.A is, the tactics that they use to scheme in the shadow were so effective that they can simply topple and entire region upside down easily if they wanted to. For example, Queen Duchess Angela has witness personally, how the A.C.I.A has systematically dismantle and drive the persistent Principality of Light out of every single Allied Nation, and they do it in a
“I see….Your, A.C.I.A is as sinister as ever…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Sinister, maybe…but effective…undoubtedly…Look, we can come to and agreements right now…that Dukedom of Angela owned the Western Region of Hallerus…..so, rather than waiting for a long time for it to be official…why not just have it now….Put those Noble family members that is supportive or obeyed you, in the Leadership position….eliminate those that opposed you once and for all…and thus that region will be in your palm…..Let us be honest…Controlling the Central and Southern Region of Hallerus are already stretching the limits of the current Queen….What happened on the west…is beyond her….as long as on the surface things seems to be in place…that is done for her…..”.(Elijah)The current situation of Hallerus Kingdom is a mess, at the moment, the current government were already pulling their hair out of their heads, when dealing with only the Central Region and Southern Region. As for Northern region, it stayed peace
“The western Region lands is perfect for farming…and monsters hunting…not to mention that river route…that is more straight than what you have in your territory…that river connected to the Institute of Artemesia and Crystal Lake…and you know right now we are trying to utilized the rivers right?…”.“Wow…Elijah….the more things you unravel…the more it ignites my greed..”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“I am just stating the obvious, Angela…if you can hold the Western Region….then that will lessen our works….I know for certain that the Young Queen don’t have it in her to do something crazy…..especially not, when her 2 major region left her hand ‘willingly’…..”.(Elijah)“.…as long as it lighten the load, on Mies…it’s already good enough for you..right?…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Yes, it is….he has been working tirelessly for quite sometimes….it is about time we all take a little break and just enjoyed what we have achieved…..before we continuing on again….”.(Elijah)“That I understand…”.(Queen Duc
“.…as long as it lighten the load, on Mies…it’s already good enough for you..right?…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)“Yes, it is….he has been working tirelessly for quite sometimes….it is about time we all take a little break and just enjoyed what we have achieved…..before we continuing on again….”.(Elijah)“That I understand…”.(Queen Duchess Angela)Both of them looked a little somber for a brief second, before smiling again. For Queen Duchess today has been a very fruitful moment for her, not only she were able to secure a massive profitable deal with Aeternum, but also have gotten herself a permission and also a suggestions to get herself the Western Region Hallerus, of which is something that she has been eager to have. Now only she gotten herself the method for it, but also a good motivation to be more eager to obtained it.As for Elijah, today were also a good day for her, as she had just solved a lot of long winded work that will be coming in the future. If Western Region fall into Duk
“.…It’s a great move to motivate her, Sister…soon enough…Hallerus Kingdom will fall to their rightful state…and we all can finally be able to take it easy, with Master…”.(Andrea)“Well…that is the point to all of this, Andrea…By the way…what of the resorts that we planned on doing?…if we are going to take a break later…it is better for that places to be ready…”.(Elijah)“All in schedule…I even already started the Seaside resort construction in South Alemia Region…so don’t worry about it…”.(Andrea)“...Good…soon after this war..finally we are going to take a little break that we all deserved…”.(Elijah)“That is the plan, Sis…”.(Andrea)Just as at the New City were everything started to wrapped up and everyone went back to their own agenda, on the Presidential Airship, the environment inside the ship were quite lax, in compared to the hectic one day ago.“[Aren’t you going to stop her at all….you know that the Queen Duchess has basically tried to asked permission from you to lay waste o

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
“This railway is not merely a connection between nations,” Queen Angela declared, “but a symbol of progress. A bridge between past traditions and the bright future we shall build together.”President Mies added, “With this project, Angela will no longer be isolated or vulnerable. It will be a thriving hub of innovation and prosperity.”The people roared with approval, commoners eager for job opportunities, and nobles eager for increased wealth.Meanwhile, across the border, envoys from Hallerus Kingdom and the Golden Triangle Nation secretly observed the Angela-Aeternum railway collaboration.One Hallerus official slammed his fist onto his desk upon receiving the report. “They’re building a rail network that connects Aeternum to the Forbidden Wasteland?! If this continues, Angela will become untouchable!”A Golden Triangle merchant sneered. “Tch. Those fools in Angela have completely sold themselves to Aeternum. But we can do nothing. Our king already declared hostilities. We are lock
While Angela embraced its partnership with Aeternum, its rival nations were watching with envy and resentment.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both historical adversaries of Aeternum, knew they had missed their chance to secure such a lucrative alliance.In the Hallerus Royal Palace, King Hadrian scowled as he studied a detailed report on the Aeternum-Angela railway project.“They are modernizing too quickly,” he muttered. “Soon, Angela will be just as powerful as Aeternum.”His advisors nodded grimly, but they knew there was nothing they could do.Meanwhile, in the Golden Triangle Nation, Emperor Verix tapped his fingers on his throne, deep in thought.“Aeternum is changing the continent,” he murmured. “And we are falling behind.”With Angela fully embracing progress, Aeternum’s expansion showed no signs of stopping. The railway was more than just steel and tracks—it was the path to a new era. A nation modernizing at unprecedented speed. A people eager to grow
The Dukedom of Angela was no longer just a small kingdom caught between larger powers—it was now on its way to becoming a global trade hub.To further solidify their partnership, Aeternum opened job opportunities for Angela’s citizens. Engineering apprenticeships were offered to young scholars eager to learn Aeternum’s technology. Labor positions in railway maintenance, track laying, and station operations provided work for thousands.Even hospitality and tourism sectors saw a boom, with people preparing for the influx of travelers who would soon visit their cities. Aeternum made one thing clear—this railway wasn’t just for Aeternum’s benefit, but for Angela’s prosperity as well.However, not everyone was happy about this monumental project.The Kingdom of Hallerus and the Golden Triangle Nation, both long-time rivals of Aeternum, watched the cooperation between Aeternum and Angela with growing jealousy and frustration.For years, both nations had sought to expand their influence in t
“Aeternum plans to construct the longest and most advanced railway system in the continent,” Mies explained, unfolding a detailed map of Central Continent on the table.“We wish to connect New City to the Forbidden Wasteland, and we have chosen the Dukedom of Angela as the interconnection point.”Queen Angela studied the map carefully. “So, Angela would serve as the bridge between Aeternum’s mainland and its Wasteland territories?”“Yes,” Minister Andrea confirmed. “We will be using Mana-powered maglev technology, capable of traveling at speeds unheard of in this world.”Princess Angela’s eyes widened. “You mean to tell me… you’re planning to build a train that runs on magic and technology?”Mies smirked. “That’s exactly what we’re doing.”“This will be the first of its kind,” Vice President Elijah added. “And it will set the foundation for global transportation.”The Dukedom of Angela would become the gateway between two of the most significant territories in the world—Aeternum’s mai
For centuries, The Institute of Artemesia had been one of the world’s most respected academic and magical research institutions. But they had always struggled with one thing—funding and access to knowledge.Aeternum had solved both problems. Inside the Grand Royal Library of Aeternum, Head Scholar Callisto Verdan stood in awe.She ran her hands over the massive tomes of knowledge, collected from all over the world and carefully preserved in Aeternum’s archives.Rare magical research, ancient history, modern technological advancements—it was all here.“Aeternum’s funding has allowed us to expand our studies beyond imagination,” she murmured, her voice trembling with excitement.“With access to this library, we are no longer bound by the limitations of our past.”Beside her, Professor Aldrich—one of Artemesia’s leading scholars—nodded.“The rest of the world still clings to outdated traditions,” he said. “But here? Here we can create the future.”Aeternum had become the center of knowle
