“What happened to my dress now Ronald?..”. (Queen Romella)
As T.A.S connected the call from me to Queen Romella computer, the first thing that I heard was Queen Romella panicky shout at her butler, Which also looked panic as surely the windows to the shopping sites were instantly closed. The Butler Ronald then turned towards his Queen, apologetic and whimpers as he was afraid t irk the mood of a Queen.
“Forgive me, My Queen..the Shopping site just..disappeared…I don’t know why…”. (Ronald The Butler)
“What?..that is nonsense!!…You!!!…Ahem…please excuse me, President Mies…Everyone!..Clear the room, Now!..”. (Queen Romella)
Fuming, she stand up from her comfortable seat, but then as she laid her eyes on the Computer desktop screen. What she saw was me, awkwardly staring at everything that is going on, and on the instant,
Thought I only just assumed and thought about it roughly. Then when the diagram come to fruitions, I just said something that I saw in the US Television Drama, now that Alfred said that, the star were actually something. To me this got to a whole another level of some messed up situations.“Star of Sacrifice?…are you sure, Alfred?..”.“yes, Young Master…it is…but, it still hasn’t complete yet…look here…although each point of the star and the meet up lines were drawn…the large circle that encapsulate the whole stars wasn’t…so, it can’t function yet…”. (Alfred)“Wait….Star of Sacrifice?…Sir, what is happening now?…this is…is this the map of Northern Alemia?…”. (Director Kasuma)“yes it is…Star of Sacrifice…the one of the largest and most co
I relayed my findings directly to Queen Romella, as son my meetings were ended. Her reactions were in disbelief for a few moment but once I show her the evidence of everything that I and my cabinets has collected and deducted. She believed in me one hundred percent, Upon my request and also her best interest to do so, she will refrained from stepping into the northern region for now, and focused on the current occupying of the Western Region.“T.A.S buddy…this time we have been had..”.[Things happened you know…and sometimes you can just help it…Still, just to be safe..it was crucial that the infiltrations team to be very discreet about entering the Northern Region…Because once they realizes we are in their territories…they will surely reacted…]. (T.A.S)“I agreed…<Sigh~>…I supposed th
Almost all the hawkers on the Restaurant Street, knew about my frequent visit at this place and how I normally would stay back a little bit, enjoying my drinks and foods whilst I will engage with a conversations with any of the random hawkers. Mainly the hawkers that doing business here were all middle ages men and women, some even older, for them my visit were normal and very much welcome. But as for the visitor and shoppers, seeing me sitting on a poor wooden stool and conversing merrily with the hawkers, was simply a spectacle to see, but still they will maintained a distance and mostly just greeted me with a nod of respect as I meet with their eyes.“Sir President…umm…who will be the governor of Shark region?…”. (Mongi the brewer)Since I sat fairly close to his stall, he awkwardly asked.“Well, that…I’m afraid you have to wait for the announcement…can’
In a matter of a few minutes, the large disturbance caused by the gangsters were swiftly being handled by the cops. All 10 of them were detained on the spot then were brought back to the police stations, not long after, the ambulance came to assist Grandma Lenny, which were hurt, she was thankful to the group of Elosa Warriors and also me. At the same spot, testimony were taken from the bystanders, which also proved that the Eloesas warrior Aida Oneal Claimed that Aeternum was ‘Lawless’ were entirely wrong, because when I asked the cop that came, he said that they received multiple call to the emergency center reporting the incidents.“I might say..Eloesa warriors…sometimes it was best not to quickly jump into a conclusions…slandering, a country and it’s laws base on a simple incidents…may sometimes turn what originally a positive welcome to a negative ones…but, still I thank you for standing up for the injusti
After we left the Restaurant Street with my car, I decided to hold off any heavy conversations with Duchess Kolarova and brought her and her fellow Amazonian back to my mansion, after all it was already close to 9 Pm in the night.“I hope this is to your liking Duchess…please, take a seat and make yourselves comfortable for a few minute, before we continued with our discussion…”.“Thank you, Lord President..you palace looks…beautiful..”. (Duchess Kolarova)She and her fellow entourage were stunned as they entered my Mansion Living room, all because it was filled with modern furniture and electricity. New City have a very cold temperature at night, sometimes despite the sunny day on day time, at night there will be a brisk of snow falling, that is how cold it is in New City. But inside my Mansion the temperature was kept
Tomorrow will be the day of the Shark Region Governor be appointed, though all around the New City were bustling with activities and merry making, my mansion still stayed as peaceful as ever. Today, I decided to just work from home, all the road to the Government District were close, though I as president can just drive through the block, I don’t want to, the troop arrangement to both Northern Alemia and Kingdom of Eloesa was much more important and even from my house office I can monitored everything.“So, how much will be send to the Northern Alemia?..”.Sitting behind my desk, I speak to Bina through the Video conferences.“[100 men, I pulled them from the Special Force..and filled the gap at our border with the new recruit..if it doing such high difficulty mission, I trusted them more to get things done..as they were already being tempe
Aeternum, New City, Residential District.Despite the merriment that New City was in a fervor of, Mayor Viscount Jelina who just got back from her official duty to attend the Trials as one of Aeternum officials, finally was able to get her rest, back in her family penthouse, together with all her daughter, she can enjoy their story and their time together as a family. Naturally, as she was the family head and also now holds much more responsibility than she has ever was before, her time with her family has become much more lesser and lesser. And each one of her daughters knew about her current responsibility."Adriana, Genevieve, Joelene, and Joana..how was your study?..". (Viscount Jelina)"Great, Lord Mother..". (Adriana, Genevieve, Joelene & Joana)Answered their mother concerned, actually, the daughters of Jelina family were well known inside of the Aeternum academy, all 4 of them were very smart and at the top of their class far surpassing their
The day of Shark Region Governor elections results were finally here. Just as it was hype for days. The receptions of all Aeternum and all the neighbour country about the elections has become the main focused of these day topic, all across the Central Continent that have a radios in their possessions listened to the broadcast with the feeling of anticipations and nervous, although most of the radio listeners were not even the citizen of Aeternum. Many of the royalties and noble family, decided to empty out their schedules only to stay at home and listened to the live radio broadcast.“Ladies and Gentlemen..Good Morning to all of our listeners, from inside Aeternum and outside, in this glorious and monumental day..The Independent States Of Aeternum, will announced, the elected Governor of Aeternum Second Region, Shark Region..it’s an important roles, that demands dedications, loyalty, patriotism and most importantly leaderships..
The project would take time—perhaps years—but its impact would begin in weeks.“Once the roads are in place,” Merrica said, entering her chamber with a report in hand, “we’ll be able to move goods faster, respond to crises quicker, and prepare for the second phase: economic zone development.”Helen took the report with a tired, but satisfied smile. “This… this they will see. This they will believe.”“And when they do,” Merrica said, “they’ll follow.”Late that night, as the wind howled against the palace windows, Helen stood in her private study, gazing out at the flickering torches lining the city streets. In her hand was a smooth, curved stone from the first road pile—just a plain stone, but to her, it was the beginning of a foundation.Her fingers closed around it as she whispered to herself, “Let this road lead us to a better kingdom.” And with that, the first steps into a new Hallerus had begun.The throne room had seen war plans, council betrayals, and royal declarations. But on
The ministers eagerly pointed out their favorite places from their student years.“Over there—that café served synthetic ice cream you have to try.”“That’s the district where I first saw a holographic opera.”“This is where I spent hours in the central library—eight floors of pure knowledge.”Helen listened with quiet amusement and growing wonder. These weren’t just stories. This was the future.They stopped first at a shopping promenade, where modern boutiques lined the plaza. Aeternum fashion—streamlined, elegant, tailored for form and comfort—was on full display.Helen tried on a pale blue dress lined with iridescent threads that shifted color slightly under different lighting. She admired herself in the mirror. Regal, yet free. She hadn’t felt this light in years.Merrica chuckled as she twirled slightly. “Careful. You’ll make the palace tailors obsolete.”Next came the Aeternum cuisine district. The aroma of spices, imported meats, baked delicacies and exotic fruit blends filled
Meerkat sipped from his flask; eyes gleaming. “Monster cores alone could offset our collective energy reliance on Aeternum’s hybrid reactors. If those dungeons are stabilized and regulated under UNA protocols, we’re looking at a resource boom.”Angela arched an eyebrow. “All that assumes stability. A kingdom can’t regulate dungeons if they can’t regulate their own court.”“Well,” Meerkat said with a shrug, “that’s what Merrica’s for, isn’t it?”They all laughed lightly—because it was true. The man’s reputation preceded him. Hallerus may have signed with a queen, but Merrica had built the bridge.Kaneda leaned forward. “It’s risky, but it’s a calculated risk. We’re not signing blind loyalty here. We’re watching. Evaluating. But make no mistake—if this works, Hallerus becomes the keystone of continental connectivity.”Redwall drummed his fingers on his knee. “I suppose that’s why we’re here. Not to clap at the signing. But to see if the queen is truly changed.”“She is,” Angela said qui
“And now, a major announcement: With the signing complete, Hallerus Kingdom is formally inducted into the United Nation Alliance as its thirty-first member. This marks a turning point—not only for Hallerus, but for the entire Central Continent.”“The UNA, now composed of thirty-one sovereign nations, officially becomes the largest unified alliance in the world’s history—its reach, economic power, and strategic cooperation unmatched by any prior coalition.”“Following this event, Aeternum has confirmed it will begin a nationwide rollout of its Super Stores, factories, and humanitarian infrastructure in Hallerus territory. In exchange, Hallerus will provide critical resources and cultural integration into the alliance structure.”“Public reaction is already beginning to surface—here in New City, spontaneous celebrations have begun in the multicultural districts where former Hallerians live. Meanwhile, markets across the UNA are surging in response to the stability this alliance signifie
“I don’t forget betrayal easily,” I said. “And Aeternum doesn’t forget pain lightly. What happened between us—it scarred people. People who trusted Hallerus. Soldiers who bled for your freedom. Civilians who saw us pulled out overnight.”“I know,” Helen said. “And I accept the cost.”“But,” I said, letting the word hang before softening my tone, “I do respect accountability.”Her eyes met mine. “Then we start again?”“We do,” I said, extending a hand.She took it. Her grip was firm.“We bury the hatchet,” I added. “But let’s be clear—this is not a return to old friendship. This is a new foundation. One built on lessons learned.”Helen nodded. “Agreed.”Merrica exhaled, satisfied. “It’s what both sides need.”I looked at Helen, voice calm. “You have a second chance now. Few leaders get that. Don’t waste it.”She nodded again, quietly this time. “I won’t.”“Good,” I said. “Because your people need you more than ever. Rule wisely. Rule well. Let this alliance be your legacy.”For the fir
“We’ll export more to Hallerus—especially food. You’ll need it. In return, we’ll import more raw ore and minerals. Your mining sector’s still decent, right?”“It is.”“Then let’s grow that. More volume, more jobs, more imports on both sides.”He beamed. “Thank you, my friend.”I smiled back. “You’ll find I don’t just use the whip.”“A carrot, then?”“Always. A balanced hand is how you keep control. Too much punishment, and you push people away. Too much reward, and they forget who they owe.”Merrica nodded slowly. “You’ve become a real ruler.”I stood, offering my hand again. “I became what this world needed.”He shook it. “And I’ll make sure Hallerus becomes what Aeternum can trust.”We stood in silence for a moment longer. The sound of cheering still floated in faintly from the streets below. Somewhere out there, Queen Helen was being paraded through New City—through a modern marvel built from vision and precision. Through a world she couldn’t have imagined a year ago.And now, she’
“They’re… happy to see us?” she asked, disbelief in her voice.Duke Merrica gave her a half-smile. “Some of them, yes. The others are watching. Judging. As they should.”One young woman in the crowd, her hair wrapped in Aeternum’s signature style, waved a small Hallerus flag and called out, “Welcome back! My family’s from Archenport—we’re with you!”Helen felt a warmth rise in her chest. Her lips curled, hesitant, but sincere. She lifted a gloved hand and waved back.Her ministers behind her smiled with relief. The people hadn’t forgotten them. Or maybe… maybe Aeternum’s citizens were willing to forgive, even if their leaders were not.Still, with each new marvel the city revealed, her pride took another small wound.Digital traffic signs shifted in real-time. Elevated walkways moved gently above the streets. Tall towers bore solar glass and climate control systems beyond her comprehension. Everything was clean. Efficient. Vibrant.Hallerus, by contrast, was still struggling to clear
“But that’s not all,” he said. “We’re not just building stores. We’re buying land.”Elijah’s eyes narrowed. “Land?”Andrea arched a brow. “Personal Aeternum-controlled territory?”“Exactly,” Mies said. “We’ll negotiate the purchase and designation of sovereign Aeternum land within Hallerus. Locations where we will build permanent structures—embassies, farms, factories. Property they can’t touch. Not legally. Not politically.”Andrea crossed her arms. “You want to turn this alliance into territorial leverage.”“I want security,” Mies said. “We trusted them once. And they betrayed us. This time, we own the pieces on the board. If they want access to food and prosperity, they give us something real in return. Soil.”Elijah nodded. “No oversight from their monarchy. No interference. Full extraterritorial jurisdiction.”Mies smiled. “Exactly. We build an Aeternum that lives inside their walls. One they can’t tear down without declaring war.”Andrea added, “And when we build those farms and
“We’re proud Aeternians now,” said one local organizer. “But we remember where we came from. If we can help fix the old home while serving the new one, why not?”In university lecture halls, students debated passionately.“Strategically, re-integrating Hallerus into Aeternum’s economic sphere is a no-brainer,” one economics major argued. “We’ll be able to shape their policies from within.”“But trust is a currency too,” another replied. “If we spend it on the wrong partner again, we might pay more than we think.”In a small park in the east district, a group of Aeternum veterans sat on a bench, medals on their coats, eyes on the screens showing news footage of Andrea’s visit.“You remember that street?” one said, pointing.“I remember clearing it house by house,” another replied. “They cheered us one day. Chased us out the next.”The youngest of them, silent until now, finally spoke.“We gave them peace once. Maybe it’s time to give them a future.”Silence followed. No one disagreed.
