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
Merrica City, Murr Family Estate, Duke Merrica Mansion.After the rescue done by the Paradine team and the rest have finally and safely reached the Murr Territory and Merrica City, it was a huge relief to Duke Merrica to see that his wife finally back in his arms, safe and sound. Naturally this success and happy news not only a relief to Duke Merrica but also Princess Helen, because after all, she can’t be more happy to see that her now supporter finally can do his best to contributes to her cause, also finally seeing that her only sane sister back safe and sound.According to Paradine right after the mission, she said that, President Mies has arranged for the Princess to follow up with the already arranged plans, she even handed a few documents that would requires her attentions, in all, the Aeternums want’s the Princess as well as her entire party to leave for Aeternum Capital City today. But,
With the figure as General Wolfgard, Duke Merrica and Count Kabronel supporting the Princess, naturally the entire room can read the atmosphere and everyone ultimately agreed to support the Princess in her venture to become the Queen Of Hallerus. Everyone including the princess can already sense that this time nothing will stop her on her way to the throne, all they had to do, is just follow the plans that the President of Aeternum has already in store for them.After a full rest of one day, Once again Paradine and her Sergeant went and visited the Duke estate, asking whether the Princess and her entourage were ready for the road to the New City. This time they no longer delaying and instead immediately went and followed Paradine and her team, all the way to the Merrica City Airport.At this point of the day, especially the morning and the afternoon, Merrica City Airport that hosted the famous Aeternum Airship were filled with people and bus
Aeternum, New City, Residential District, Duke Merrica Mansion.It just been 3 hours, after Princess Helen and as well as her entire party arrived at the New City. Naturally as one of the people that were just sees and experienced the advance society and modern city scene of New City, she can’t stop marveling at everything that she comes across. Everything that she saw was nothing short but a surprise, she had never thought that anyone could do this kind of things. She saw the paved tarred road that encompassed the entire city and that alone changed her perspective.Aeternum and also New City is actually far from a real modern city back on earth, since the entire city were meticulously designed and planned with well thought by the President and also the Aeternum government. Yes there were already many high rise building all around, neon lights and such but there were still the trace of the normal Fantasma medieval sigh
Because it should be known Although Aeternum was a nation that pro modern society, the Nobles still exist, both that were Aeternum Nobles and the outside nobles is something that still exist and they are the kind of people that too hung up on their lifestyle. If something were harshly put on them, they would later retaliate, it was okay if it was Aeternum nobles that reacted but if the Noble from outside were the one that reacted, then the reactions would be hard to control, also, it also should be known that mostly the richest and the nobles that comes from outside were the big spender in Aeternum.In all Aeternum can’t just cut them off, because at the end of the day, Aeternum also need them. But this shouldn’t be interpreted that these nobles and richest people can do whatever they wanted. Because they too were tied to the same law that bounded every single Aeternum, and should they crossed the rules, then they would be punished more severely than
I took another sip of tea, letting the warmth spread through me.Because here’s the delicious irony: by copying our education system, they didn’t just adopt our books and schedules.They were adopting our mindset.Every child who learned using our curriculum. Every teacher trained by our methods. Every official who quoted Aeternum textbooks. They were all little seeds planted deep within foreign soil.In ten years?Those nations would think like us.In twenty?They would be like us. All without a single sword being drawn. I leaned back in my chair, utterly content.Without armies, without bloodshed, we were gaining soft political power over thirty-one nations.Real power.The kind that shaped futures. Mina clinked her cup lightly against mine in a silent toast, her green eyes sparkling.“To the future?” she teased.I smiled, lifting my cup.“To the future we’re writing,” I said.And out there, beneath the quiet, darkening sky, the seeds of a new world had already begun to bloom.The n
In New City, the public watched it all unfold on massive news screens and digital displays.A young woman in a coffee shop blinked back tears.“My mother couldn’t even sign her name,” she said. “Now, she’s going to school at sixty. Can you imagine?”A factory worker on break raised his can of iced tea. “They used to mock us for thinking machines would replace us. Now? My kid’s learning to design them.”Later that evening, President Mies stood at his office window in the Black House, overlooking a city glowing with lights and ambition.Minister Myers entered, holding the finalized signed charter.“It’s done,” he said quietly. “They all agreed. The future begins today.”Mies nodded. “We’ve unified their borders, their defense, and their markets,” he said. “Now, we unify their minds.”A long silence followed. Then, just a single line: “History will remember this moment.” And across the continent, it already had.The evening air was soft, almost languid, as I sat back in my chair, savorin
As the documents were sealed, cameras flashed and live broadcasts streamed the images of rulers shaking hands with President Mies—smiles genuine, eyes alight with purpose.The message to the world was unmistakable:Aeternum does not just lead with power—it leads with knowledge.Later, in a private conversation, Jonathan Myers turned to Mies.“This is more than we hoped.”Mies looked out the window of his office, where the UNA flags fluttered in a perfect row.“No,” he said. “This is exactly what I planned.”Jonathan raised a brow. “And what next?”Mies smiled faintly. “We teach the world… to think like us.”The central assembly hall of New Concordia UNA Headquarters—a gleaming white dome adorned with banners of thirty-one nations—had never been so full.Delegates filled every seat. National flags stood in perfect rows. The giant LED display behind the stage glowed with the symbol of the United Nation Alliance, now framed by a new banner in golden letters:"Education for All – A Future
Outside the palace gates, the citizens of Hallerus City buzzed with excitement. News traveled fast: another king had come, and he, too, had seen the truth.And far beyond the city walls, whispers began in other UNA courts:“Perhaps we should ask Queen Helen for assistance.”“Maybe Aeternum’s model isn’t just for them.”“Could we build this future too?”In the Black House of New City, when President Mies received the report of King Leopold’s visit, he simply closed the folder and smiled slightly."One seed sows a thousand trees," he murmured.And in the fields of Fantasma, the seeds of knowledge had already begun to sprout.The towering skyline of New City shimmered beneath a clear morning sky. It was a perfect day for diplomacy—and a historic one.Within the great glass-paneled east wing of the Black House, Aeternum’s political nerve center, a long oval table had been prepared. Security was tight, the air dignified, yet the atmosphere was distinctly welcoming. For today, President Mie
That evening, Queen Helen hosted a quiet reception for the UNA visitors. Modest food, strong Hallerian tea, and conversation flowed freely.“We’re not pretending it’s perfect,” Helen told them. “But we’re not pretending it’s impossible, either.”One observer raised a hand, smiling. “Would you be open to helping other nations start similar programs?”Helen looked to Merrica, then back to them.“Of course,” she said. “We’ve taken help. It would be wrong not to offer it.”It was the kind of answer that made diplomats take notes. And so, Hallerus—once a fractured kingdom cast in shadow—began to shine in a new light. Not as a symbol of power. But as a model of transformation. And as the scholars walked the streets of Hallerus City, alongside teachers and curious children, they quietly realized: The future wasn’t just being forged in Aeternum anymore. It was spreading.The scent of blooming gardenias filled the royal courtyard of Hallerus Royal Palace. The sun hung high above the battlement
“It’s… beautiful,” she said.Jonathan smiled. “It’s sure is,.”The first major step was the immediate conversion of six major city libraries into public education centers. Then came the pilot schools—one for each major region of the kingdom. Each staffed with a blend of local teachers (newly trained) and educational experts from Aeternum who came to oversee implementation.Within a month, Hallerus Elementary Schools opened their doors for the first time. Children from farming villages and mining towns, who had never once held a book of their own, were now reading stories about space, science, and society. They learned arithmetic on digital chalkboards and watched recorded lectures from Aeternum instructors. Classrooms were modest, but organized. Desks were salvaged, but steady.The change was jarring. But it was real. Queen Helen visited one of these pilot schools in the outskirts of Archenport. There, she saw barefoot children reciting alphabet lines. She watched a young girl raise h
Outside in the streets of New City, a mural was already being painted on the wall of a youth center—depicting two children, one Aeternian and one Hallerian, sitting together at a shared desk beneath the words:"Wisdom Unites What War Divides."The mural was uncommission—but no one was taking it down. From within the homes, classrooms, and council chambers of Aeternum, the message was clear: the world was learning, and they were learning from Aeternum.And that made the people walk taller.Because every road rebuilt in Hallerus, every classroom opened, every young mind taught in their system—was a quiet victory for Aeternum’s vision. The age of empires was ending. The age of influence had begun.The great hall of Hallerus Royal Palace hadn’t hosted a summit like this in over a generation. Not for war. Not for taxation. But for education.Long tables stretched beneath arched stone windows, newly adorned with fresh flags representing each province of the Hallerus Kingdom. The air smelled
Contracts were awarded to the newly established Hallerus Road Commission, overseen by both local talent and advisory engineers from Aeternum. Bright orange marker flags began appearing all over the kingdom, outlining future road paths. Caravans brought in equipment, gravel, construction tools—and, notably, several transport trucks from Aeternum carrying the first batch of reinforced roadstone, a durable blend sourced from the Stone Ring mountains.Helen personally visited the first construction site just outside the capital—a winding, broken stretch leading to a key trade town in the east.She knelt beside the workers, running her fingers through the packed dirt and gravel. “This path,” she said to a nearby foreman, “will be the spine of our kingdom.”He blinked, surprised at her presence, then bowed. “Then we’ll make sure it’s strong, Your Majesty.”As roadwork began, the kingdom watched. Villages previously isolated by floods or rough terrain saw the first signs of inclusion. Mercha
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
