Konnor and Lien Family were only among those that acted the same way, reacted fast to save themselves, knowing truly well, that those so called soldiers and noble would probably do nothing to help, rather they will only keep themselves safe from the incoming attack. In just 30 minutes, all over the city, the streets were empty and void of any living person. The city dweller were hiding in their house, locking their doors, in fear of getting attacked. The children and woman were hid from views and only men were inside the house in the open, with weapons in their hand, carefully watching the door, in case of any uninvited wanted to come in and harm their family.

“...Look how pitiful they were…We are already arrived here, standing…and even finished eating breakfast…just only now they realizes that we are here…Such a shameful display…Oh, no offense to you Princess Helen..”. (Crown Prince Amariss)Crown Prince Amariss, disdainfully said as he chuckled, seeing the guards of Hallerusia Capital City, scrambles and running around on top of the wall.“...Hmm..still, President Mies…this binocular thingy is very useful…without even using magic or spell, even without enchantment…I can see everything clearly…even thought it was far away…Hohohoho~..Oh look..that guard just fall down the stairs~..”. (Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)The old magus were instead playing with many of Aeternum machine and apparatus, it was as if everything were a new discovery to him, he and the other Wizard would surround my En
There is many thing that I have predicted for this war, including the winning percentage and even the losing percentage. But I never know that, the situation would be this bad and worst for my enemy of course, there is no sense of unity at all. I Know for sure that the situation inside of the city were bad, the divisive of the entire nobles, the situation of the current power struggle. But not to this extend. It was clearly those that were in the Palace were nothing but useless and incapable people that were only there to robbed the power and money, greedy bunch that don’t even know their own place, yet acted like they were the ruler and power.As for my side, there was nothing to worry, the adventurer and the Mercenary can be controlled but as a paid soldiers, if they decided to do other things aside from the initial thing that they were paid for, I need to pay them. Not that I really care, after all, thought they got this privileged, they were also under
In the midst of Chaos and fear of the incoming impending doom, All of Hallerusia dweller, and even the entire Hallerus Kingdom, were in their tense seats, doesn’t know what is about to happen and what is about to come down. But unbeknown to the Hallerusia Capital City, the people all over the Central continent and the Entire Hallerus, actually knows about the entire thing, the war and when the First World Alliance has arrived and what is going on.From the very first day, that the First world Alliance, departed from Aeternum New City, The news coverage has been non-stop, every time news segment comes up on the Air, it would talk about the current situations of the army their locations, what is going on and how and when the possible attack will happened. Not to mention, there were also a deep coverage about all the criminals and the conspiracy that were uncovered, those vile nobles family actions, the soldier misconduct, every single crime that could possib
“<Bam!>..Your Lordship!…There..there’s enemy army on the City wall!…there’s…there’s…endless of them..”. (Hallerus Palace Knight)In the midst of anger and confusion, The King Audience Hall were interrupted by one Palace Knight, gasping for breath and wet by sweat, leaning on the Door, telling everyone that there’s an Army right on the city wall. And he looks very serious, ghastly even, scared about what he had witness. Because unknown to the nobles and the Prime Ministers that have been partying all night and in the morning treating the palace as their own bedroom, and in the morning just continuing their useless games. The Knights of the Palace, were scared silly, when they can see the Army on the horizon just from where the were at.“WHAT?…WHY THE HELL ARE YOU JUST TELLING ME THIS NOW?!!…..what do I pay you all for?!!..Telling me this when the enemy w
As Mopius Kraltor were stunned to the point he fell on his butt, shocked to see the sea of Soldiers and proudly flying flags and the magnificent line up of Airship that conquer the sky. The Rest of the city were in a big questions mark, because not many knows about the existence of the 7thPrincess of Hallerus, but there were even those that knows about her, mostly the old residents. As for the the real Hallerus Soldier that has been bowing their head to the Tyranny, those that were on the wall, were fast to recognize Princess Helen Personal flag, and it was authentic.“.…It was the real ones…..Will..there be a change..”. (Hallerus Knights)On the Palace, Many of Hallerus Royal Palace Knights that swears and loyalty to the throne, saw the flag and saw the glimmer of hope that this might change the current rotten palace. Knuckles their fist to white, hoping that the Princess will be change that this k
“ [I prayed…and Prayed…asking and asking….yet Nothing had changed…My brother the Second Prince…were the same as others….preaching for glory and just while he himself has done atrocious crimes, left and right……What Kind of Royals..that torture their people like this..abusing them day and night….A Royal…a Nobles should be the one that were privileges…to lead the people to the better future and life…yet only a small few that stay true to that duty….] ”.(Princess Helen Hallerus)Many agreed and nodded at the Princess Speech. Because who else knows better than the oppressed, the citizen once again rise and unite, they knew now that the princess is the hero they need.“ […So I say….this had to change…EVERYTHING HAD TO CHANGE!!!…If the powerful is evil..it had to change!!…if the Culture is wrong it has to c
“[Dear Listener’s…This is Live from Kingdom of Hallerus, Hallerusia Capital City…Where the War of Reclamation, and Justice to eradicate the Vile Criminals of Hallerus, Princess Helen Hallerus has just finished declaring her war against the Entire Hallerus Kingdom…Lead by our Charismatic and Benevolent Leader, President Mies Sai, Of Aeternum and also the Current Chairman of the First World Alliance…Finally the war has begun….]”. (DJ Skelly)On the same time as the war is happening, it was turned into a Radio News and shows. The one that narrating live from the scene was Paul, sitting inside the mobile Broadcasting centre Bus. He was narrating everything with eloquent words and phrase, which made every single listeners were standing on their seat and gritting their teeth in excitement.Such things has never happened before, witnessing a war as it happened. Before only those the personally wi
“WHAT IS THIS?…”. (General Hobris Von Likusy)In a mere single attack by the Alliance Army, the ever so glorious wall of Hallerusia Capital City, were already crumbling, pieces by pieces it started to fall, revealing it’s inner side, stones falls to the ground, and so is the many Hallerus Soldiers and guards.“AARRGGHHHH!!!..my hands!!…Help me!!..<Sob!>..”. (Hallerus Soldier)Soldiers nearby the the noble general, fall to his knees, crying in pain as both of his hand were rip away.“It burns!!…I can’t see!!….”.(Hallerus Soldier)Fires burning, all over the place, Stone wall, woods, flags, everything burns to cinders. Those soldiers that gotten hit by the impact of both the Artillery shell and the Fire Magic were in agony.“...Help me….I don’t wanna die…
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
