“High General, Madam Governor…I’ve got a solid lead for the Darkness Guild…I have send my Agent to survey the suspected locations…and we have received confirmations that, the base locations has been confirmed to be true…”. (Lieutenant Colonel Reven)
After a solid one hour after Lieutenant Colonel Reven went to the Resource Department Basement floor 3, she has comeback to the Aeternum Royal Military Base, and head straight to the High General Bina main office, where inside of it, High General Bina and also Governor Jelina is currently discussing an actions plans to handled the Darkness guild and as of now only awaiting for a solid lead from the trusted Lieutenant Colonel Reven or M16. As she entered the room, both High General Bina and Governor Jelina were listening to her speech closely.
“Point it out in the map…and state your findings..Oh yeah, Jelina this is Lieutenant Colonel Reve
After the arrest of Baron Govane Selspring and the take over by the Aeternum Royal Military, intelligence Division, Selspring family plans has entirely fallen apart. The same were being said for the entire things, what has started to be a plans for a business monopoly has been escalated to be a National Issues that The Entire Aeternum Leadership has deem to be an imminent threat. This is all because of the information's that Lieutenant Colonel Reven has acquired from Baron Govane Selspring himself.There’s 2 main reason as to why the incident has been deemed a national security threat, 1, the Darkness Guild existence that has started to gained ground inside of Aeternum, Aeternum has been stand up all over the Central Continent as a sore thumb, though there were a few who had a positive looks on Aeternum, but those who bear a negative impression is also have the same numbers, if not probably even more, And so far, what the Military Intelligence has figured
To me it was wasteful to waste these warrior of a women, all the Eloesan EX-soldiers that received a new limbs all of them were Tiered fighter and also Veteran in their fields, Sergeant Eostre for example, she is a Peak Tier 3 that has 12 years of service under belt, also she was a Master Swordsman, that alone says a lot about her. Also given her exemplary profile as a soldier, the transition to becoming apart of Aeternum modern style of Army, makes it much more easier. And I can say for sure that their additions to Aeternum Royal Military is something that is very beneficial to Aeternum, Every single one of them were willing, well disciplined, extremely strong and very attractive visually. Sergeant Eostre, answered then went to informed everyone to leave the site, as I went off to stripped the camp that covers the Magical Observer No.2.“Sire President..everyone has been safely evacuated…Sire…is that what you have been working on?…Wha

Which is House Of The Cabinet, which served as the meeting place for all the cabinet members.

(Captain Baum)After being announced, Governess Jelina took her seat, and so is the 3 mayor behind her. This was the first time ever that the 3 other mayor were involved in a national Cabinet meeting so to them the feeling was a little bit overwhelming and also very honorable to them, to heard their names being announced in this hall and before the entire Aeternum, Certainly made them feel that they have finally reached the peak of their political career, which is something that they have never felt or known that they can feel such ways.“From Aeternum Protectorate regi
The House of Cabinet, inside the Cabinet Hall, all voices stopped, as High General Bina Stood up and started her speech. Because she has just mentioned that the peaceful Aeternum is at danger, which seemingly coming out of nowhere. Yet the seriousness of the entire Military Faction, made it undoubtedly that the fact is true.“My Military Intelligence, with the permission of His excellency the president…with the consultant of Governor Jelina and Mayor Quintes….The assessment regarding the threat has been made….and it is present…and will consume the safety of our nation if left alone…”.

Aeternum, New City, Economic District, Road no. 2.For about 2 years already, Ever since Aeternum New City were still in it’s infancy, the Darkness Guild, who has been known to have it’s base all over the place, take a pride on themselves for being untouched able, a superior existence that, none would dare to stood against, not even a Kingdom dared to offend the Darkness Guild, But being a dark organizations that profited from evil intention. They have found a very difficulties to operates inside of Aeternum territories, unlike any other place, Aeternum was unique, Power struggle is almost none existence in these place.No nobles fighting against each others, nor complotting against each other inside their family, a vengeance nor rebellion against the Government were none existence, Usually there will be always a case of a harmed citizen that wanted to stand against the devious noble or their roy

Last night Operation Destroy were operating at full launched, Aeternum Military, DEFCON 3 covert operation that House of Cabinet for the first time approved to be done. There is no thought of failure going inside of all the Cabinet Members mind, Because last night, the Operation has ended, brilliantly.Today the second Cabinet meeting was once again being held, and all of Aeternum big figure were all assembled, here in the Hall, including the President of Aeternum Himself, That has arrived last night and as of now sitting inside the Hall most powerful chair, the Hall Master position. As always the meeting started ceremoniously, but the started to get into the main topic, the result of the Operation.“My fellow Cabinet membe
Aeternum had taught her a valuable lesson—control is not about force, but manipulation. So, she would make them turn on each other.Helen began summoning the nobles one by one, speaking to them in private meetings. She whispered honeyed words into their ears.“Viscount Talis, I need a reliable man. Duke Rehn is plotting against me, and I require your loyalty.”“Countess Ferros, your influence is invaluable. I fear Duke Rehn is siphoning funds, and I need someone I trust to investigate.”“Duke Rehn, the other nobles are moving against you. You must act swiftly before they remove you from power.”With every meeting, seeds of distrust were sown.The nobles—drunk on greed—were too blind to see that they were being played.And so, one by one, they began to conspire against each other.As the nobles scrambled to destroy each other, Helen’s true loyalists made their move.Under the cover of darkness, handpicked assassins carried out eliminations with precision.Duke Rehn?Found dead in his s
“Then Mies will destroy Hallerus.”Helen turned sharply toward him. “You think he would go that far?”Merrica didn’t even hesitate. “Yes.”Helen stared at him, searching for a lie. A hint of hesitation. But there was none.“He will not give you mercy a second time, Helen,” Merrica said. “If those nobles push for war, if they even dare to challenge Aeternum—you will lose.”He took another step forward, his voice heavy. “And I will not be able to protect you.”For the first time in their conversation, Helen looked away. Merrica saw it. The fear. The realization.She already knew everything he was saying was true. She had just been too proud—too trapped—to admit it.Silence hung between them. Then, at last, Helen spoke.“…What do you want me to do?”Merrica finally allowed himself a small sigh of relief.“You already know what must be done, Helen,” he said gently. “You must take back your court.”Helen slowly nodded, though her expression remained grim. “Those nobles will not leave peace
“Merrica understands that if Hallerus moves against Aeternum, we won’t hold back.”Kasuma gave a knowing smirk. “And you won’t hesitate to destroy them.”I met her gaze, unblinking.“No.”A heavy silence fell between us.Kasuma leaned forward, her voice softer but firm. “You don’t want war with Hallerus.”“No, I don’t,” I admitted. “The people of Hallerus don’t deserve to suffer for their queen’s mistakes. Merrica doesn’t deserve to be put in that position.”Kasuma studied me for a moment before sighing. “Then let’s hope Duke Merrica succeeds.”I ran a hand through my hair, my thoughts swirling. Visma was controlled. Chaos was their prison, and we held the keys. Hallerus, however, was different.It was once an ally, a friend, a brother. But betrayal had shattered that bond. Still… I didn’t want to be the one to crush it completely. I drummed my fingers on my desk. If Helen could be saved, then perhaps—A knock interrupted my thoughts.“Enter,” I called.An ACIA officer stepped in, bowi
The Merchant Guild Leader, Darvio Vinn, who had profited the most from blocking Aeternum trade. His warehouses stored inferior goods at premium prices, keeping the economy strangled in his grip.The General of the Royal Army, Lionel Ferin, who had bled the treasury dry with excessive military spending, preaching about “independence” while weakening their forces with outdated tactics.They had to be removed. One by one, quietly, without causing suspicion. But how? Merrica could not simply accuse them—Helen trusted them. If he moved too boldly, she would see him as the enemy.No, he had to be careful. He had to play the game. Merrica stood, pouring himself another glass of wine. He would begin by exposing the corruption—turning the people against the parasites that fed on Hallerus.The merchants would learn how Darvio Vinn had been overpricing basic goods. The military officers would see how General Lionel Ferin had been wasting funds on obsolete strategies. The court would hear whisper
At a local tavern, I overheard a group of soldiers drunkenly complaining."Our weapons are old.""Our rations taste like pig slop.""Did you hear? Even Alemia is receiving Aeternum goods now.""We should have never broken ties."I smirked. They knew. Their queen had failed them, and their nation was falling behind while the rest of the world thrived under Aeternum’s soft power. The people of Hallerus were not fools. They saw the rising prosperity of the allied nations, the luxurious goods, the technological marvels, the entertainment, the food. They could only watch in envy.At sunset, I met with Duke Merrica Murrs at his estate. His once-proud posture had been replaced with exhaustion. His eyes, which once held confidence, now carried deep regret.We sat in his grand study, the silence stretching between us. Finally, he spoke."I should have stopped her."I said nothing."I vouched for her. I believed in her." He exhaled, shaking his head. "And now, my people suffer because of my mis
Meanwhile, in Yulga, Maria sat comfortably in her study, reading the latest reports.Lysander stood beside her, amused. "Another assassin failed. This is getting predictable."Maria smirked. "Vismal thinks he’s playing chess, but he’s only moving pawns."She set down her glass, her eyes gleaming with amusement. "Let him keep trying. Let him think he has control.""And when he finally realizes he doesn’t?" Lysander asked.Maria leaned back, exhaling softly. "By then, he won’t be king anymore."While King Vismal wasted his energy plotting assassinations, he failed to see the true danger.His nobles squabbled over the black market. His people secretly craved Aeternum goods. His own soldiers whispered of defecting.Visma was rotting from the inside out. And Maria? She simply watched it happen. She wasn’t just controlling the black market. She was controlling Visma’s fate. One failed assassination at a time.King Vismal III believed he could eliminate Maria Yulga. He believed he could take
"Oi, you got the stuff?""Yeah, yeah, keep it down!"A merchant nervously looked around before handing over a carefully wrapped package."This is the good stuff—straight from Aeternum. Papa Pizza’s special cheese blend. Got it from a merchant who knows a guy who knows a guy."The buyer, a Visma noble in disguise, snatched it eagerly."Finally! I’ve been dying to try this! You have no idea how boring Visma’s food is compared to Aeternum’s cuisine!""Yeah, yeah, pay up first.""Fine, fine—how much?""Two hundred gold pieces."The noble nearly choked. "T-Two hundred?! That’s robbery!"The merchant smirked. "And yet, you’re still going to pay it, aren’t you?"The noble gritted his teeth, but handed over the money anyway. Aeternum’s products were so desirable that people were willing to spend fortunes just to get a taste.And that was exactly what ACIA wanted. By controlling the underground economy, Aeternum achieved multiple goals:Economic Control – Even though Visma banned Aeternum’s pr
The people were asking too many questions. The smugglers were getting bolder. Even their own guards and soldiers were caught listening to Aeternum’s broadcasts in secret. A revolution wasn’t just coming—it was being broadcast live.In an attempt to regain control, the non-allied nations did the only thing they knew how to do—They cracked down. Massive raids were conducted in the dead of night. Entire villages were searched. Merchants were arrested. Radios were smashed in public squares.But no matter how many products they confiscated, no matter how many smugglers they punished, it didn’t stop. Aeternum’s influence was already too deep. The people had tasted the forbidden fruit—and they weren’t about to let go of it.What made matters worse was that not everyone in power was loyal to the cause. Behind closed doors, even high-ranking nobles were secretly buying Aeternum’s products for themselves. Some were sneaking off to allied territories under the guise of “diplomatic visits” just s
Aeternum had always been known for its technological marvels and superior products, but with easy transportation, its goods became more accessible than ever before.From freshly preserved gourmet food to luxurious household items, Aeternum’s influence began to seep into every aspect of daily life across the continent. And the people? They loved it. Why eat old, stale bread when you could have Aeternum’s fresh-baked soft rolls that lasted for weeks without losing their taste?Why wear itchy, poorly-made foreign garments when you could buy Aeternum’s finely woven, stain-resistant fabrics? Even Aeternum’s entertainment industry was making waves. With their crystal-powered moving pictures, stories from Aeternum began flooding into neighboring lands, captivating audiences with rich tales of adventure, romance, and heroism.It wasn’t just about selling goods anymore. Aeternum was selling a way of life. And everyone wanted in.But not everyone was pleased. The non-allied nations watched in d
