“Sire…is this now, Aeternum always goes to battle were treated as?..”. (Duchess Kolarova Qoon)
Kolarova were on my left, but unlike others she refuses to waves but did not object nor anger when the Bird Demi-Human Child went to wore her the Flower Wreath, instead she accepted it with smiles. Not only her got this reaction baffling them, I can see that the other also thought the same thing.
“It is…Because…to Aeternum…every battle be it large or small, it was a necessary fight to ensure the long lasting peace of this land…I thought my people to honour this sacrifice with smile and embrace…because, I don’t want my soldier died in gloom…they are proud warrior..and this is what they deserve…thought it was hard and painful…each soldier fought for them..and at the very least…this protected people can give them this much of happiness to remember by…&
“[Today, once again the First World Alliance has moved out to quell another enemy…As of Right now, currently the March has started and already leaving the New City…We’ve seen the heroic scene of all the Alliance leaders who’s proudly and heroically stood at the foremost front to lead us to Victory and end another tyranny…let us pray for the glory returns and Victory…This is Quara Raedrim, Afternoon News..]”. (Radio Broadcast)At the Northern Hallerus Road, Many Volunteer soldiers that camped on the side of the road, amount to hundreds were circling around Henry Camp ground, all were excited and pumped up after hearing that the First World Alliance has already started their march.“HHUUUURRRRRAAAAAYYYYYY!!!…the Princess Is coming!!!….the soldier has march!!!…”. (Henry)“HURRAAAYYYY!!!…glory!!..glory!!..”. (Volunteer)
Battle Star Empire, Star Fall City, North Territory.In the rest of the Battle Star Empire, this northern territory specially were own by the 5thPrince, and compare to Many cities inside of the Battle Star Empire it was very busy and filled with activity, unlike other cities it was well developed and well maintained. It was also the only city that served as the hub for Aeternum Products, as this were the only territory that have Aeternum Super Store.Inside the VVIP Floor of Aeternum Michelin restaurant, Prince Saladin were enjoying his time, dining with the most delicious and extravagant foods cooked by the finest chef from Aeternum. He was accompanied by another 2 figure, which were clearly from extraordinary background. One was a man in his mid 30’s well dressed in Aeternum finest suits, and another was a beautiful woman, dressed in the finest and latest designer dress also from Aet
Prince Saladin were in a rather good mood himself, after all the news that The First World Alliance that he himself has been apart of does not relent to the threat by the Visma Nation. That alone shows how confident the First World Alliance were, not to back down by a mere threat, Prince Saladin position in the Alliance were the same as Earl Canran Von Masvit from the Visma Nation. Both of them were not their nation leader, but both of them have some power to some extent.Not only that, both of them has gotten the favour of the young alliance, because both of them has merits in the first ever Alliance war. The First World Alliance recognized their efforts and decided that they can be treated as one of the foundation member of the Alliance. Joining the Alliance were a great thing to anyone that joins them, all because of the perks that they offers. Most importantly the Grace from the Aeternum, which by far is the greatest thing that anyone can have.
Finally the true goals of the 2 renown family representative has revealed their true intentions. It was unknown as to why the people from the forbidden land suddenly appeared inside their true mortal enemy the Empire and even then went straight to meet with the Empire 5thprince, if someone heard this they might think that the Fantasma is in apocalypse. As of right now, the Prince was in the need with more ally, after all just having the favour with the Alliance were not enough. Because to move an Alliance is not easy, after all, Aeternum President is someone that doesn’t move easily just because you asked him to.“...Hmmm…I am glad that you both asked me for an alliance…but, to asked me for a help from the First World Alliance isn’t easy you know..after all..it was well known that I am not apart of the Alliance..”. (5thPrince Saladin)“.…Empire is not&
Prince Saladin ultimately need these 2 family support for his own interest, in the end he need to use his privileges to get so. He sure that Aeternum might considers to make contact with them, but who knows what Aeternum want’s after all up to this point no one really know what those unpredictable nation really wants.“(That Canran would sure be Visited by the C.I.A.A..)…<Sigh~>…alright…I will forward your request to the concern party…”. (5thPrince Saladin)“To the Council right?..”. (Amalinde Stammler)Amalinde casually said as she sips her wine, even Qekin nodding his head and sipped on his fragrant tea.“What?…that stupid Earl even told you about the Council?…”. (5thPrince Saladin)“Hmm?…Yes..is something wrong?…Usually the Foundation
As another matter were on the move on the other side of the Continent, First World Alliance has finally entered Hallerus Kingdom officially. It was a jubilant moment for all of the Hallerus Kingdom people, as the sight of The First World Alliance army marching were celebrated, as the move closer to their destination.Hallerus Kingdom, Northern Hallerus Merrica City.“Aren’t Marching a little bit too slow?…I mean, I have seen how Aeternum can move fast, the Cars and the Airship, it could move faster than this…it took us 3 hours to get from New City to Merrica City…aren’t it usually take only about an hour?….even the cars would only take about 5 minutes….”. (Princess Angela Seraphim)It was true that the march is slow, much more slower than it should be. From Merrica city to New City is actually about 278 miles or something l
We have arrived at the Merrica City now for a few hours already, since we arrived at 2 in the afternoon, I made a decision to only start moving again tomorrow. Daylight is running out, and considering the type of battle that we were about to fight at the Capital, there is no need to rush there as fast as we can, there is no need to hurry to get there, after all, unknown to everyone, the King is already dead by now, and all he was were nothing but a mere zombie that Alfred has turned into.“Fiance…don’t you think that you were too relax in this situations?…”. (Duchess Kolarova Qoon)I am resting inside my personal study in Aeternum embassy right now, and Kolarova decided to follow me after we eat our lunch. This is how she usually were, by now she already deemed herself as my wife and wanting to serve me as such, which I never objected to, after all she Is good at what she does.“I am
Merrica City, Duke Merrica Estate.In contrary that the war is already on the way, Merrica City, or many places inside of the Hallerus Kingdom were all the same, rather somewhat peaceful without that many changes happening at all. So does Merrica City at the moment, there are no large issue at all thanks to the President Mies planning.“For a war, this kind of peacefulness is quite rare…but still, President Mies is nothing short but a miracle…he always thinking of the unimaginable…right honey?..”. (Duchess Marriane Murr)“He is….I never know what that guy were thinking…ever since I meet him, I know he wouldn’t be an ordinary person at all..”. (Duke Merrica Murr)Duke Merrica and his family were hosting both of the Princess, Princess Helen and her entourage and also Princess Angela Seraphim. The ot
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
