Old Corg, who had been teetering on the brink of a nervous breakdown, found himself calming down. There was something about Minister Mina’s presence—her gentle, calming manner—that reassured him. She had a way of making even the most daunting situations seem manageable, of making him feel that he could speak his mind without fear of reprisal. With her standing by his side, ready to cover for any mistakes he might make, Old Corg felt a newfound confidence stirring within him.“Thank you, Madam Minister… I feel calmer now,”.(Old Corg)Old Corg said, a small smile creeping onto his face.“I think I can speak my mind and my opinions more clearly now. Hahaha… I’m sure that when I speak, there might be one or two Cabinet Members who’ll be offended…”.(Old Corg)Minister Mina chuckled softly, her eyes twinkling with understanding.“Well… they might be offended, but such is the nature of speaking honestly. At the end of the day, the truth is better than a lie, right?”.(Minister Mina)“That’s t
“Your Excellencies, I stand before you today not as a politician, not as a leader, but as a simple man—a fish hawker from the wet market,” .(Old Corg)Old Corg began, his voice steady yet humble.“I have been chosen by the people to represent their concerns, to speak on their behalf regarding the proposal that is currently before you.”.Though his voice lacked the polished rhetoric typical of the chamber, it carried a sincerity that demanded attention.“The war we are fighting is not just a battle for land or power—it is a fight for our way of life, for the future of our children,”.(Old Corg)Old Corg continued, his conviction evident in every word.“To talk of stopping the war now, when so much is at stake, is something that we, the people, cannot accept. We believe that ending the war prematurely would be a grave mistake, one that would cost us dearly in the long run.”.(Old Corg)His words, plain yet powerful, resonated deeply with the Cabinet Members. Old Corg spoke without pretens
“Ladies and Gentlemen, since we have listened to the words, the opinion, and the voice of our people, it is time we come to a vote—a vote to dismiss the memorandum of stopping the Aeternum-Alemia war once and for all. Let us hold the voting process at once,”.(Vice President Elijah)Declared Vice President Elijah, her voice steady and authoritative.The tension that had gripped the Cabinet Hall began to dissolve as everyone in the room prepared for the decisive moment. There was a renewed vigor among the members, a sense of clarity that had been missing before. The impassioned speech from Old Corg had stirred something deep within them, reminding them of the stakes and the will of the people. As they cast their votes, there was a shared belief that they were finally on the path to the solution they had all been seeking.The voting process began, and for ten intense minutes, the Cabinet members focused on the task at hand. The room was silent, save for the occasional rustling of papers
Governor Duke Oliver Gust, still standing beside Old Corg, turned to the Cabinet members and spoke with the authority of a leader who knew the importance of the moment.“Let this day be remembered as the day we reaffirmed our commitment to the fight for freedom,”. (Governor Duke Oliver Gust)he declared, his voice ringing with conviction.“The people have spoken, and we will honor their will. We will continue this war until Alemia is free, and we will not rest until justice is done.”.(Governor Duke Oliver Gust)His words were met with nods of agreement and murmurs of approval. The decision had been made, and the path was clear. The war would continue, but now, it would do so with the full support of the nation—united in purpose and determined to see it through to the end.As Old Corg prepared to leave the hall, he felt a sense of closure, but also a sense of beginning. He had played his part, but the real work was just beginning. The future was uncertain, but for the first time in a l
Today will go down in history as a momentous occasion for everyone. The people have risen to challenge the absurdity taking place within the Cabinet—the very heart of where the nation's crucial decisions are made. Through their unified demands and unwavering opinions, a decision was reached that resonated with the voice of the populace. Not only was the war saved from the brink of discontinuation, but the nation's attention and focus were also firmly redirected back to the battlefield. Everyone was determined to see the war through to its conclusion, with a renewed fervor driving them forward.For Elijah, today was nothing short of triumphant. She had successfully achieved her goal: ensuring that under no circumstances would anyone, be it the people or the leaders, object to the war. No one would dare question its purpose or direction. The people of Aeternum, along with the entire nation, were now united behind the war effort, supporting it wholeheartedly, no matter what challenges la
"You know how eager and capable the Eternal Night Division is, especially at night. When they asked for my permission, they executed their orders with full force... and that’s exactly what happened," .(President Mies )President Mies explained, his voice a blend of satisfaction and mild amusement."I see... I know how they operate. Sitting around idly must have been intolerable for them," .(Elijah)Elijah responded, her tone becoming more serious."But I hope the Eternal Night Division will remain confined to the Northern Region. We cannot afford to expose their existence or their capabilities to the outside world... not yet.".(Elijah)The Eternal Night Division was one of Aeternum's many secret military divisions, but it was undoubtedly the most formidable. Unlike the Special Forces, the Eternal Night Division surpassed all others in every aspect—physical attributes, effectiveness, and tactical prowess. What set them apart even further was the fact that every soldier in the division
Among the populace, there was a sense of vindication. The trials represented more than just a legal proceeding; they were a symbolic act of retribution, a cathartic release for years of pent-up anger and frustration. The people of Alemia Nation had suffered under the yoke of their lords for too long, and now, with the arrival of Aeternum, they saw a glimmer of hope.Inside the makeshift courtroom, I observed the preparations with a critical eye. Since I will be the one that will be overseeing the trials, ensuring that everything went according to plan is just natural. It was a delicate balance—on the one hand, I needed to demonstrate Aeternum’s strength and resolve; on the other, they had to do so in a way that would win the hearts and minds of the people.“Everything must be perfect,”.she instructed her aides, her voice firm.“The people need to see that we are not just punishing these nobles out of vengeance, but because it is the right thing to do. This is about justice, not reven
“People of Georgina City….Today….we will be holding a trial….a trial to judged over these people….these worms that had been plaguing this land….plaguing your lives for so long….Today...I promise all of you that all your grudge and anger would be settled once and for all….”.Truth to be said, the crowd has yet come to believe that this trial would do anything, it was understandable for them to react as such, after all, I am sure that before me there were other trials has been held by their previous lord, and in which inside that trial it was never gone to the way the people want the to be. But little that these people know that this trial would be something that made their heads turns 360 degree.“Will…things even be right?…I doubt it…”.(Reginald)In the midst of the massive crowds, Reginald were there standing in the spectator area along with the other citizen of Georgina City, looking a the massive makeshift trial court with skeptical views. Which is something that he can’t help to b
“Do you hear that?”the man asked, his voice tinged with disbelief. His wife tilted her head, confused.“Hear what?”“Exactly,”he said with a small smile.“No cries, no screams, no clashing of swords. Just... peace.”She leaned her head against his shoulder, her own smile forming.“Maybe this is where we can finally start again.”For the refugees, Gust City wasn’t just a city; it was a promise of what their lives could become—a life of safety, hope, and renewal under the watchful governance of Aeternum.The Gust Ducal Palace stood as a beacon of Aeternum’s prosperity within the Western Region of Alemia. Its grand architecture, a blend of Alemia’s traditional designs and Aeternum’s modern sensibilities, reflected the harmony achieved under Duke Oliver Gust’s leadership. Within its marble halls, the duke’s study served as a sanctuary for strategy and reflection.Seated within the study’s richly adorned walls, Duke Oliver Gust and General Lucas shared an air of camaraderie, their conver
The city of Gust, the capital of the Western Region, radiated an aura of peace and prosperity that seemed almost otherworldly to those who had known nothing but strife. The towering walls stood strong yet inviting, adorned with the Aeternum insignia—a symbol that had come to mean safety and order to the Alemia people.As they passed through the gates, the refugees were greeted by sights and sounds that filled their hearts with hope. Cobblestone streets bustled with activity, but not the chaotic kind they had fled from. This was the lively hum of a thriving community: merchants hawking their wares, children laughing as they played, and townsfolk chatting amicably by fountains that sparkled in the midday sun.An elderly man, his face lined with the hardships of life in the war-torn northern regions, clutched his walking stick tightly as he stopped to take it all in.“Is this... really Alemia?”he asked, his voice trembling with disbelief. His daughter, holding her infant child close to
Unlike the other regions, where battles and skirmishes carved paths to liberation, the Western Region of Alemia had never known the chaos of war during this conflict. This serene anomaly could be attributed to the Gust Ducal Family, led by its dignified patriarch, Duke Oliver Gust.From the very beginning of Alemia’s Civil War, Duke Oliver Gust had pledged his allegiance to Aeternum, a decision that would forever shape the fate of the Western Region. The Duke, a good statesman and a visionary leader, recognized early on the transformative potential of Aeternum governance. By aligning his house with Aeternum and swearing loyalty to its President, he not only secured the safety of his lands but also elevated his status to the Governor of Alemia.Under his leadership, the Western Region flourished. It became a shining example of what could be achieved under Aeternum’s rule—an oasis of peace, stability, and prosperity in a nation otherwise marred by war.The Western Alemia Region stood as
“The President’s arrival always signals a shift in momentum. Whatever he has planned, it will undoubtedly be decisive.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees.“I don’t know about you, Giuseppe, but I’m itching to get started. The Central Region won’t know what hit them.”. (General Eliza)Giuseppe laughed lightly.“I wouldn’t expect anything less from you, General. Your energy is infectious. Though I must admit, I share your enthusiasm. The Eternal Night Division is ready to stand by your side, as always.”. (Colonel Giuseppe De Gianna)Eliza’s cheerful expression softened slightly, revealing a glimpse of her focused resolve.“Then let’s make sure everything is in place. When the President gives the word, I want the Northern Front to move like a storm.”. (General Eliza)While the Northern Front basked in the unchallenged dominance of the Aeternum Royal Air Force, the Southern Front was marked by grueling ground and naval warfare. Yet, under
The Northern Region of Alemia had become a bastion of order and stability under Aeternum’s relentless advance. Every step taken by the Aeternum forces under General Eliza’s leadership left a lasting mark—one of liberation and peace.Villages that once cowered under the shadow of constant raids now thrived. Markets reopened, children played in the streets, and trade routes flourished. The Aeternum forces didn’t just sweep through the land; they rebuilt it. Engineers, medics, and diplomats followed close behind the military, ensuring that each liberated territory was integrated seamlessly into the growing Aeternum domain.Enemy resistance, while sporadic, was met with calculated force. Eliza’s forces didn’t simply eliminate the threat; they dismantled the very foundations of the enemy’s control. Supply lines were cut, strongholds reduced to rubble, and leadership decapitated with precision strikes.It was no wonder that whispers of Aeternum’s inevitability began to spread. To the Alemia
The heavy doors of Georgina Castle closed behind me as I ascended to the upper floors, the weight of the day finally settling in. The castle’s architecture, a blend of medieval grandeur and modern Aeternum design, offered a commanding view of Georgina City. I stepped onto the balcony, the cool night air brushing against my face, and gazed out over the bustling city.“(Georgina has changed. Not long ago, these streets were plagued with crime and fear. Now, even at this hour, the lights shine brightly, and the sound of laughter echoes through the air.)”The city was alive. Markets remained open, their lanterns casting warm glows over vendors and customers alike. Groups of travelers from the surrounding regions roamed the streets, marveling at the safety and vibrancy that had become synonymous with Georgina.As I observed the scene, I reflected on the strategic importance of Georgina City. It wasn’t just another victory; it was a key to the eastern region of Alemia.“(Larger than New Sun
“Welcome back Your Highness…,”. (Major Fontana)Fontana said, his voice filled with respect. Lieutenant Colonel Selie stood tall beside him, her crisp uniform and confident demeanor a reflection of her discipline and efficiency. As my second in command, she had always been dependable, but it was her initiative and sharp mind that made her invaluable.“Selie,”.I said with a nod.“I trust everything has been handled in my absence?”.She stepped forward, falling into step beside me as we made our way to Georgina Castle.“Your Highness, I ensured that the troops stayed active during the lull. With the soldiers under my command, we eradicated every criminal faction and enemy cell within the city and its outskirts.”. (Lt. Colonel Selie)Selie’s report was precise, but her words carried a quiet pride.“The city is now completely secure. Trade routes are open, and the citizens are thriving. Georgina City isn’t just holding steady—it’s flourishing. Your troops are the reason for that.”. (Lt.
“I heard you were in your office,”. (Elijah)she began, her voice like a soft melody.“I thought you were supposed to be on the frontline.”. (Elijah)I rose to greet her, taking her hand in mine.“I decided to tackle the backlog first…You know, since I am here now… The frontline will wait—it’s moving at a deliberate pace anyway.”Her lips curved into a small smile, but her eyes lingered on me with concern.“You’ve been working yourself too hard. You didn’t even let anyone know you were coming back.”. (Elijah)Before I could reply, she gestured, and moments later, the kitchen staff entered, carrying trays laden with a sumptuous lunch.“I took the liberty of arranging this,”. (Elijah)she said, her tone light yet commanding.“You’ll eat properly today.”. (Elijah)I chuckled, guiding her to the table by the window.“You always know how to manage me, don’t you?”As we sat down to eat, the conversation shifted to lighter matters. Elijah’s grace and elegance made every interaction with her
“The Riverside Region will do just that. The fisheries will create jobs, stimulate local economies, and foster innovation in aquaculture. This isn’t just a project—it’s a movement toward a better future.”. (Andrea)As the meeting concluded, Andrea and the ministers were jubilant. Plans were already being set in motion to announce the news to the public, and excitement rippled through the Ministry.For me, the moment was bittersweet.“(Every step forward is a reminder of the distance yet to be traveled. But if the people can find joy in these small victories, then perhaps we’re on the right path.)”Sitting at the grand desk in the Ministry of Resource headquarters, I allowed myself a brief moment of satisfaction. Approving their proposals had been straightforward, but the significance of these decisions would ripple across Aeternum for years to come.“(This is what true leadership is about—empowering others to excel while maintaining control of the vision.)”I had barely spent an hour
