Alfred clearly not fond of these poorly maintained Library, as he taking a look at the library, he ran through his fingers on top of the books that were in the shelves, but what he discovered were a thick layered of dust smearing his white gloves into dark.
“[I know right?…it was a waste letting everything her just collecting dust…so…take all of it…the books the decoration..anything that were nailed to the wall…take all of it…especially the books….]”
“.….Sire….are you actually wanted me to rob these palace?..”. (Alfred)
He was quite shocked to heard that I am literally asked him to empty the entire library as if I wanted to rob the entire palace.
“[Well rob is a strong word to use…let’s just say..we just saving these things from being neglected….I am not asking you rob the entire palace Cl
Hallerusia, Royal Palace, North Plaza, King Chamber.“Arrgghhhh!!!….My hand!!!…..You..you…You Peasant!…..”. (King Robert)At this moment, the famous greedy and Crazy King of Hallerus Kingdom, were left limbless on his own bed. There was another person in the room, and that person is Alfred, who has come for his life, but rather than taking it immediately, Alfred didn’t. Instead he was playing his game, a death game that does not care for it’s participant well being.“Hah~..what a common dialogue…can’t you Royalty says anything else?…ever since the beginning, you started with threat and insult..even at this very moment…when you were already limbless…you were still spouting the same tone….can’t it be any different?..”. (Alfred)Alfred didn’t really care
Everyone in Hallerus know that the King is a tyrant and also crazy, so no one dared to say anything about his fanatic action. Should they said anything , who knows that it might offended the King and then not only got themself a free hanging but then their entire family and even generation will be purged from Fantasma. That is how crazy the king were, to the point even his wisest minister just kept his mouth shut the whole time, and just nodded in agreement with whatever the king wants.One of the King Robert mistake, was actually a very simple one, it was neglect. He has simply just being over confidence with the efficiency of his security, that after their many successful capture and killing of the intruders, he didn’t bother to make any plans anymore. But rather he just let go of everything and left the planning as it is or rather gave the task to his generals. But little that he knows there were always conflict happened when, a group of generals that c
With the Numbers of Alfred side Instead of getting panicked nor even felt threatened, he made that walking inside the enemy Palace looks like he was taking a stroll, And of course thanks to the President order previously, he acted like he was shopping, because with every step he took, everything that wasn’t nailed down to the floor and wall, everything were being picked up by all the Skeletal Boys and were thrown into Alfred Spatial Storage Spells.“Hmmm~this king is clearly one of the Church close ally…I never thought the church would actually give this holly items to him~..well anyway in you go~…”. (Alfred)At one sections of the North Plaza hallway, almost to the King Chamber, there were a whole section at he side of the hallway, that were filled with decorations from the Church of Light, and in those collections all of them were all holy items, that can actually cause a little harm to Alfred. One of which
The whole journey to the King Chamber were nothing short of an adventure of discovering humanity dark side. Alfred witnessed the Cardinal abusing a child, a General raping the palace maid, a Knight raping another guards. All sort of weirdness just plague this Palace, as if it was the ground for sinful activities. That oddity resume even into the King Chamber, where the king is found in the middle of his orgy with 4 concubines.Naturally, when Alfred and the Skeleton boys comes in there were chaos in the room but soon, it was settled down, as all the concubines were now headless, and King Robert were now suffering the torture of his life, being cut limb by limb and finally it was ended with his regretful woes, when his head were decapitated by Alfred himself.“Sire..the King is dead now….I guess the whole nation will be in an uproar by tomorrow..”. (Alfred)Speaking with the President in the phone, Alfr
Outskirt of Hallerusia City.In the middle of the Chaotic monster horde attack on the magnificent, Hallerusia City walls, far outside the city wall itself, near the forest on the eastern side of the city outskirt, Paradine and her team has already preparing their part to move out and left this part of the Fantasma. By now they have already achieved their objective of Saving Duchess Marriane, and safely escorted her out of the City, as of right now they were only waiting to complete the 2ndphase of the mission, which is to deliver her back to her husband safe and sound.“Thank you, Duchess Marriane, for saving my life…I don’t know just how much longer I would survive, if I were to live in that wretched dungeon a day longer…”. (General Wolfgard)General Wolfgard, were one of the prisoners that were saved by the Request of the Duchess Marrian
Merrica City, Aeternum Consulate.Paradine party just arrived last night, ans surely she brought a good news with her, She’s not only managed to saved the Duchess, which completed my promise to Duke Merrica, but she also managed to safely empty the entire Royal Palace Dungeon of it’s Prisoners. Which in my opinion were a good additions to the conflict in our hands that would made the entire throne accession a whole lot easier and much less work.After last night prison break, I finally have the total number of the people that were against the old crazy king, and it was astonishing number to behold. All the nobles, generals, merchants and influential figure that were kept in captivity in the dungeon that support the government change in actually 70% of the entire Kingdom. These people were the one that really have the guts and power to make a change in the Hallerus Kingdom, unlike the remaining 30% that were
“What President said is correct, Miss Paradine…although if we just stroll into the palace nothing will stop us…but after that….there will be a trouble..but, by following our original plans…….we can avoid the possibility of problems…after all that detestable Church..once they heard that the new Hallerus were supported by us….they will surely would want to hold back on their ridiculous story…. as to not further take gamble to anger Aeternum…As of now..Aeternum were the only threat to them…and they already know..how fearsome Aeternum were…”. (Alfred)“Hmmmm…Not to mention that…with the wound that you guys have done to the Hallerus Palace…I doubt nothing would happened…and this will give us ample time to do our plans….”.I know for sure that, the death of the King and the chaos that Paradine and her team had lef
As of now, Honestly said, Aeternum is barely have the capacity nor the expertise to produce a good Navy, therefore Aeternum had to rely on Eloesa Kingdom for this, as they were already establish fearsome Navy forces. What Aeternum can do to further strengthen that is to provide all the equipment, and ship for them to do their jobs. As of now the Ships that Aeternum has provided for them were just a simple patrol boats that President Mies has brought previously, but that alone were already enough for them to utilized everything to the fullest, although there were only 5 patrol and engine powered boats for the Eloesa to use. But every single boats were already modified to use Mana core Based fuel and also mounted with heavy machine gun for attacking purposes.With such arsenal in the hand of an astonishing Navy fighter, they would only need a few days of training before they can use not only the weapons but also maneuvering the boats like a fish in the sea. Then p
“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
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
