“Really?…that is just what you had in mind?…”.(General Eliza)“Hmmm…y..yeah, I guess?…”.“Sure, if you said it is just that..then I will leave it at that….and also, Duchess Kolarova and Grand General Bina had just fully secured the entire Southeastern Region just now…”.(General Eliza)“Wow…that was, fast…”.That was surprising of them to move that fast, so right now the entire old Eastern Region has finally become apart of Aeternum fully secured and open to be manipulated as I pleased.“They heard you feat…and decided that they wanted to join the competition as well…as a result, Grand General Bina conquered and entire town on her own…and Duchess Kolarova literally bombarded an entire city wall and defense using a single warship….”.(General Eliza)“.…..that is unexpected…”.That 2 were definitely competitive, still as long as they conquered and secured the region, it doesn’t mattered much to me. Naturally on their side, casualty is not a problem at all, their mission is rather quite in
When we got to the Georgina City Lord Castle or rather the Georgina Castle, I am quite taken aback by the sheer size of it. It is much bigger than the Sunders Castle, or even my own Presidential Mansion back in New City. The entire castle take over 1 square kilometer wide, located at the North side of Georgina City just shy away from the city wall itself. It even had it’s own 10 meter tall, stone wall with 4 keep to kept the entire estate safe and well guarded. This Georgina Castle is actually well guarded and also more equip than the city itself. It was the English style castle, and it is quite lavish, the gardens on each side and the back were well maintained, there is even a small lake behind the castle.“it is quite beautiful, right?…”.(Agent Marisko)Marisko asked as she opened her arms to the side and inviting everyone in the car to enjoy the scenery.“It is, but at the same time it is quite annoying as well…their castle were this beautiful…but the entire city itself were just l
“Welcome to Georgina Castle, Your Highness and Madam General Eliza…we on behalf of the Castle staff are honored to serve you, Your Highness…This humble one, is named Gerard, Sir…”.(Head Butler Gerard)“Pleased to be here, Butler Gerard…you all may resumed your duty…”.“Understood, Sire….please allow me to guide you…”.(Head Butler Gerard)Like a qualified and wise butler that he is, Gerard only nodded his head and the rest of the group dismissed themselves. Certainly all of them were professional maids and butler, I presume that they must be the Original staff of the castle.“They were the original staff of the castle…and also surprisingly the first member of the People Rebellion Army…all thanks to, Mister Gerard over here…we are able to pin point all the target accurately and also take over the entire castle in just a single night~….he’s done a lot….and beside he is a great servant as well….good at his job..”.(Agent Marisko)“Did I asked anything?..”.I yet to say anything but, Marisk
“Marisko…so how did that task that I have you do…did you managed to get it done?..”.“in this very region…it was done…I made sure of it myself…furthermore, as soon as I done with Georgina City, I also influenced the Northern and Northwestern region population as well…all the eligible one has been secured and those that failed…already on their way to the purge…”.(Agent Marisko)Marisko confidently said her piece, she doesn’t really uncomfortable doing shady work like this, in fact she reveled in it, she excelled in this line of dirty work. And if she said she succeeded, then I would not even entertained that she had possibly failed.“Good…this region is so messy…that the people here is so corrupted in their mindset…whenever they gain a little foothold or hopes…they just become another leech in the society…”.“I agree…eliminating them are the correct answer to this kind problem..as blatant as we want to deal with them in battle…unsurprisingly a lot of them were just a bunch of cowards…w
“By the way, did Knight Joseph voiced his opinion or anything?..”.“Him?…no, not at all…he too realized the oddity of the people behaviour and agreed with the plan…but as he was what I considered just a mere tool….I never exposed the plan to him…I just have him eliminate all the bandits, marauders and criminals all over the places…coincidentally he just doing what we have in mind…his action just need to align to what I deign it to be and that is about it…for the other stuff, we got our Agent in A.C.I.A and M.I doing their stuff…so it success all the way for me..”.(Agent Marisko)“You sounded like a film villain right now..”.(General Eliza)“Oh~ madam general, thank you for that compliment…I really wanted to embodied their character very much…but still, compared to those movies villain…I am more effective and successful compared to them..”.(Agent Marisko)“Hah!..no wonder, Sister Elijah liked you…”.(General Eliza)Both woman were clearly complimenting each other right now. Either way,
“Hello…Elijah, are you there?…”.“[ Yes, Master…I’m here…]”.(Elijah)Since I go time to spare, now that all the things that need to be discussed and dealt with are done, I decided to call Elijah on the phone, and dear me, her voice did not sound happy at all.“Have you heard what I just did?..”.“[ Yes, I have, Master….and first of all…it was unnecessary for you to step out like that….and I might say…that it was quite foolish on your side….sure, Marisko had set everything up for you….but still….it is very dangerous for you to do so….Master, you are our leader, Aeternum and our family cannot bear to lose you or even see you getting hurt…]”.(Elijah)As soon as I called her and heard her somber tone of voice, I know that I am in for a lot of trouble. But again, I deserved to get this much earful from her, all the points that she listed were correct and true. So no matter what, I have to brave through this first hurdled first before anything, lest her anger will shot through the roof when
When I got the news that the 2 were just went full blast on the Southeastern Region, I thought that it was in a manageable degree, but now that I got the full number from Elijah, those 2 just went super ballistic on everything. They literally reduced the entire region back to point 1, now that is what I call overly effective.“...So…how’s the local reaction then?..”.“[ Half Positive….the morale there is only slightly positive….luckily the 2/3 of the population that the 2 decimated were all males that were engaging in all types of illegal activities…that very 2/3 of the population were all criminals…..so when Bina and Kolarova decimate them all…the local populace do looked positively in us, and agreed with out actions…but they were also a little bit worried as we have effectively, almost killed all their males….and to those that were disagreed and disgruntled…all of them have their partner killed…So, I think this kind of reaction is within our expectations…]”.(Elijah)“...I see…it is
“...Master, all of our troops are now safely stationed within the city…and are currently resting….”.(General Eliza)“oh…thank you for your great work, Eliza…”.After a brief knock on my door, Eliza comes in with her report as I sprawl on my chair, massaging my nose bridge.“It seems that you have talked with Sister Elijah…how is she?…pissed?..”.(General Eliza)“Oh she is…she lectured me for the whole 20 minutes, before she finally calmed down…”.“hahahaha…well, you did brought it upon yourself, Master…don’t be too upset at her…she is just speaking on behalf of all of us…we are all worried about you…we cared a lot…after all…if anything were to happened to you…we….we will lose it…as without you..this world would be so meaningless, that we might just destroyed it entirely….”.(General Eliza)Eliza came behind me and massage my shoulder gently, and it truly felt good. Eliza is always the calm one amongst the First Maiden sisters, she is one of the Human females within the Maidens that exce
“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
“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
