Aeternum, Black Keep, Central Meeting Room.
Ever since The President leaving for his another 'Business Trip', Elijah and the other 5 Minister has been diving deep into piles if works. Today marks the 1 first week of the launching of Aeternum big project 'The Radio Broadcasting'. Thankfully the R&D department and The Resource department are already being ordered to manufactured the newly improved radios beforehand by the President Himself. A week ago Elijah decided has decided to add another 500 additional Core Radio to be produced, and all of them already finished and ready to be distributed."Everything is ready, the Core radio already being loaded along with the supplies for Aeternum Super Store in Merrina Town..". (Andrea)"Good, Bina..we need to distribute the Core Radio fast and safe...I need 1 squad to be with the Core Radio lorry, and they will be accompanying the Pegasus Wheel Company caravan…This is the list where the radio will h"All Unit Full Speed!... I want 10 towns delivered before Sundown!..". (Major Colleen)From inside the APC Punisher, Colleen relays her order via walkies talkies. It's been day 2 since they started the deliveries, right now they already halfway across the entire Hallerus Kingdom, the last stop within The Hallerus Kingdom is it's Capital Hallerusia in just 2 days the fleets already traveled to all 6 of regions Hallerus with no complications at all, and 200 Core Radios has been successfully delivered and installed."I can't believe we just traveled all over Hallerus in 2 days…the beast not only sturdy but also insanely fast..". (Lobo)Lobo was one of Mr.Panderson assistants. Originally each carriage has 3 people on it, and that people along with their carriage will be left at their destinations. But since they had no carriage with them, and they only have brought themselves as all their supposed items have been stored inside The Maidens Dimensional Boxes, a
"Did you say that the Duke Himself come to lead you into the capital?..". (Richard Benson)Mr.Panderson is in the Pegasus Wheel Company main office in front of his Master, reporting about everything that happens along his travel, every single of his story were shocking enough for Richard Benson to have headaches."Also the most important thing was Aeternum Super Store was only interested in doing business..but I suspect that Aeternum Super Store wasn't your normal store with a normal background..in my opinion, they might be a state-own operation, and it's not among the nations we known…". (Mr.Panderson)"State-owned?…Anyway Panderson, it's enough for us to just know that they won't implicate us in any bad way…we worked hard to obtain their partnership….don't let your curiosity ruin this golden chance….".(Richard Benson)Unlike Mr.Panderson, Richard Benson's views were different. He was no longer a Noble but a busines
Hwang Hwa Young was a multi-talented celebrity in Korea entertainment, she appears in drama, commercial advertisement, Movies, tv shows, she even appeared in the latest trend tv reality shows that produce an Idol group. Although her debut was low key, her beauty and gentle personality have been always highlighted in televisions. She who always portrayed as innocent beauty and has always been targeted by media and paparazzi to be included in scandals. With her Fame, fabricated scandals keep coming in, and in just a few years her popularity started to plunged, for a media personality such situations was akin to a death sentence.Despite the situations stack against her, the innocent beauty never strays from her path. She always strives to be truthful, wanted to be recognized by her talent, not by ridiculous scandals. Little that she knows, all the scandals were actually made by her own agencies, producing a scandal in return of payments was kind of one of the well-covered b
"Honestly T.A.S just how are you able to buy so many stocks?..right now, Virtue already owned 500 company..we even worth Trillions dollar in just 4 months…now people starts to dig into us..".[You told me to handle it…So I 'Handle' it…I am a super A.I. I can tap into every single devices in this world if I wanted to…playing with information and investment is just a game for me..besides with Virtue name plastered everywhere..it won't be suspicious when we receive trillions of dollar at once…so, when you wanted to do something It won't be too much hassle.. ]. (T.A.S)"I'm not complaining but..could you just slow down a bit..I don't want to be marked down by every single person in this world..".[I already took all of that in consideration…<Sigh~>then from now on I'm gonna slow down a bit…then should I concentrate on the existing company?..]. (T.A.S)
Today marked the end of 1-month dateline since I ordered the Core Radio distributions, Though I expect it to be done in 1 week at first, after hearing Yvone and Elijah reasoning, I have to accept that traversing to 3 countries in the medieval world in a short amount of time was simply impossible, even with modern vehicles. Thankfully Colleen was able to just do it in 2 weeks, Since it comes to it, I made a decision to extend it to another 2 weeks, making sure that everything from music, drama, and news will be available in the first broadcast.In that one month, I was quite busy, transporting materials from the earth to Fantasma, recording song (Me singing the 80s song from the earth ), producing a radio drama (Old Radio drama from the earth), monitoring Virtue Financial operations after the Launching of VH-Serum (got positive receptions from everywhere). Right now, I was on my way to the newly build Aeternum Entertainment Center, where Paul the Skeleton will be Hosting t
"I never once imagined that I would have a Ygdrasil Sapling…It's Kinda surreal…..Look's cute though, despite its huge appetite..".The weird branch that I obtained from the last month Dwertur dungeon raid was actually a withered Ygdrasil/Mother Tree/World Tree sapling. it holds enormous power, it can produce a sanctuary Shield that can protect thousand of miles with magic, deter the attack of the monster, even affect the ecosystem around it. But, since it was withering the sapling need's a supply of a large amount of mana, and as a remedy for it, a dungeon core needs to be buried near the sapling for it to absorb, for the past 2 months since I realize what it is, I already feed it with 10 dungeon core. The Mother Tree now already starts to appear more vibrant, it finally has the appearance of a small tree. I placed it in the New City Central Park, right in front of my New House.The constructions of New City already reached its final phase for the
2 months have passed since Xing was bought by The Pegasus Wheel Company back in Battle star Empire, Xing was a Feline Demi-Human, Cheetah Tribes from the eastern Plains of The Forbidden Land it's a Thousand Miles Southwest of Battle Star Empire. Xing was a War slave own by the Battle Star Empire, he fought almost 20 skirmishes, against Visma Nations and Alemia Nation, Born from the Prideful Cheetah Tribe, he was among the best warrior in the war, with only bare hand he survived every battle. But War Slave is still a slave, Just like all the Slave in the 300th Coach heading North, His lives were not his own, but on the hands of his master."Xing..where do you think we're going?..". (Alehandro)Alehandro was also in the same war slave troop as Xing, He is 20 years old Dwarf from The Dukedom of Angela. They have been sitting inside the cramp small coach for 2 months."What's Different does it makes….it's probably another war…". (Leko)Watch
"Under no circumstances that you should plan, participate, or even shelter a crime..the punishment for it will be either Prison or Death sentence, depending on the degree of the Crime itself...Now we will look at the example of the crime and it's degree of punishment… ". (Lecturer Private 1st class Anna)In the Large Building where the 5000 Slaves were having their meal, a large lecture is currently on progress. For the last 6 days since they arrive the slave has been attending lectures like this for 8 hours a day, their schedule was Morning Military exercise, Study, Eat, and Sleep. No one was excluded, The slaves were shocked when all of them were called recruit instead of slaves, Also the Masters told them that they were not to be called masters, instead, address them with their Ranks and name. The recruits were taught with Aeternum Culture, Ranks, and etiquette, they knew and realize that Aeternum was actually a large organization, and few realize that it actual
A murmur of agreement rippled through the assembly.Helen's gaze swept over the room, her eyes meeting those of each noble in turn. "I have summoned you here not only to reaffirm our unity but to propose measures that will ensure the stability and prosperity of Hallerus for generations to come."Viscount Rellan, his earlier defiance now replaced with a veneer of compliance, inclined his head. "Your Majesty, what measures do you propose?"Helen took a measured breath. "Firstly, we shall establish a council comprising representatives from each noble house. This council will serve as an advisory body, ensuring that all voices are heard and that governance is conducted with transparency and fairness."Baroness Yvette Darrow, her scepticism barely concealed, arched an eyebrow. "And what powers would this council hold, Your Majesty?"Helen met Yvette's gaze unwaveringly. "The council will have the authority to propose legislation and oversee its implementation. However, ultimate executive p
Amidst the turmoil, Duke Merrica found himself face-to-face with Lord Dallren."Merrica," Dallren sneered, blood trickling from a wound on his brow. "Betraying your own kind for that girl?"Merrica's grip tightened on his sword. "My loyalty lies with Hallerus, not with those who would see it rot from within."Their blades met in a fierce exchange, each strike echoing their clashing ideologies.Nearby, Baroness Yvette confronted Queen Helen."Your Majesty," Yvette began, her tone almost mocking, "you've become quite the thorn in our side."Helen met her gaze unwaveringly. "And you, Baroness, have leeched off this kingdom for too long."Yvette smirked, drawing her dagger. "Let's see if you're as formidable with a blade as you are with words."As the battle raged on, it became evident that the Queen's Faction held the advantage. The support of the common folk had bolstered their numbers, and the corrupt nobles' forces began to waver.Count Vorell, witnessing the disarray, turned to his r
A trusted royal scribe—a man who had served the palace for over a decade—was found dead before sunrise. A dagger coated in poison was discovered strapped to his leg. The second attempt followed soon after.A servant carrying tea for the Queen was intercepted before she could enter the throne room. Hidden beneath the silver tray was a vial of deadroot extract, a lethal poison. The servant, after interrogation, confessed that her family had been taken hostage by nobles who ordered the hit.Then came the third, fourth, and fifth attempts. Archers on rooftops. Explosives set along the Queen’s carriage route. Blades hidden in the folds of a courtier’s robes.Each time, the assassins failed. Each time, they disappeared without a trace. Helen knew who was behind it. But rather than show fear, she faced the storm head-on.Seated in her war room, Helen traced her fingers along a map of Hallerus, where red ink circled enemy strongholds. Duke Merrica stood beside her, arms folded, his sharp eyes
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
