We left the Audience Chamber, ignoring the calling of everyone wanting to speaks to me. By this point I don’t even have the mood to even see their faces anymore, Still Kolarova were fast to accommodate me, she even noticed that I actually got a cut on my forehead.
“...Are you really that upset?..”. (Duchess Kolarova)
She said with a concerned voice, as we walk side by side.
“a little bit..and annoyed more….but in the end what they said is true…this is their matter in the first place…something that I should never bothered with from the first place…I will just took whatever is mine...and ignore everything..”.
“...that will always be the way…that is why…Eloesa never went along with the things that does not benefits us and went along with us….Still, I understand why you be like this…after all…covering for a
My invitation to have some chill time with Captain Norgathi were rejected by him. Mostly because he said that he had to get back to his positions back at the Southern Wall, which is true, after all aside from everybody else, I am the only one that can make myself free of any works at all. My annoyance due to my own over thinking already passed, but I am in no mood to do any job. So in the end, I decided to enjoy myself by scouring the entire Hallerusia City alone.“I have to admit….Hallerusia City is well planned…they put the right thing at the right place..”.“[ Though this world were Medieval Era….there were still many intelligent people that can think of something like this….The lack of technological advance were made up by the Advance Magic..so everything balance out…]”. (T.A.S)I am not looking down on this world, not even in a slightest, because compare to
To Hallerusia City dweller, although the war is harsh and now has already ended. Many aspect of the city still haven’t changed, and sometimes it’s gotten even worse, especially the human natures. Due to Aeternum Radio Broadcast, many knows that the war of Hallerus, is mostly the fault of the King and also the Nobles. Now that the war has won, many Hallerus citizen feel embolden by the fact that Princess Helen and the First World Alliance were siding with the citizen of Hallerus.Hallerusia City population were made up of 70% Commoners and 30% nobles, so there were a large amount of nobles in the city. But not all nobles have the same stature, some were doing betters than everybody else, some were barely living that the commoner were doing better than themselves. Such is the case, for Maria Scheiber, the Eldest Daughter of the Viscount Scheiber, originally hailing from the Eastern Hallerus territory, Scheiber Family is a Noble without fief, once a Ore
“Noble Bitch!!!…<Ptui!>…because of you fuckers that this nation is in turmoils!!….What kind of noble as poor as you!…acted so high and mighty all the time..despite you being poor!..<PAK!!>…HEH!…I told you before right?…to marry me..and be my bitch..that’s is what you should do!..<PAK!!>…but, you refuse me again and again!!…<PAK!>…yes before the noble were protected…now!…you guys were nothing but an enemy!!….<PAK!!>…Now!!…I will do as I please with you..and no one will stop me…ahahahaha!!!..”.(Gunj)“What are you doing?!!…Let go of Lady Maria!!..<PAK!!..>..Ugh!!..”. (Helga)Gunj the creditor son of where the old Viscount Scheiber owe gold to, were the assailant. He has many times harassed Maria, once he even attempted to rape her yet unsuccessful most of the ti
After dealing with those guys that were trying to rape the lady, I was invited into her house. Apparently she was a noble, ans she were in a little bit of a situation of herself, The house itself, were old, the sign of aged were apparent here and there, cracked walls, old furniture, lack of silvery and golds, shows that this noble house were poor, and they have been for a long time. But still the house were neat and organized, despite the run down, they clean their house and keep them organized.“Madam Helga…you have a good house..”.I sat down in their dining room, as Helga were serving me a hot cup of tea. After taking a sip of it, it was a tea that sells in Aeternum Super store, I know the taste of it because it was a cheap tea that I brought from earth and which that I tasted for as long as I can remember before I struck rich.“...Hahaha….it’s nothing of sort, Sir Lord….al
“...I am deeply embarrassed that, this was the only thing I can served to my savior…but please do enjoy them…”. (Maria Scheiber)Standing to the my right, on her crutches, she slowly served me a portions of her cooked dinner. Looking at her, she does have those noble aura. Wearing a clearly aged dress that show sign of old, she still took care of her appearance. Maria were a beautiful lady, Her long blonde hair were neatly tied into a bun, with a few strands fell beautifully on her face, she have blue eyes and long eye lashes adding to her more mature vibes.Although she has lost her left leg, that does not take away her perfect looks, She doesn’t wear any make up but her natural looks were able to compare to Elijah even. A European beauty vibes oozing from her, With a kind and calmness aura that I can feel from her, not only that she was kinds and understanding, yet worried if everything were not to my liking
Our dinner talk, continues even after the dinner. I found out about the House of Scheiber situations and how she had come to her current situations and fate. Simply said she had a personality of a selfless giving tree, she sacrifices herself for her family and at the end were left by herself, were used by everyone and cast aside. Still she was unbelievably patient and very resigned to her own fate. Someone who going through everyday with her best and still able to live with content despite the hardship that thrown at her.“...So…your late father owe 1000 gold coins…and you pay 10 silver each months which is a standard payments for already 25 years…”.“..Yes…I have only paid..3 gold coins since then…but..”.(Maria Scheiber)“they already took things from this house that worth more that 1000 coins..yet they still come after you…and only you…not y
An unfortunate event that happened just a few hours ago, to Maria and Helga were something that happened most of the time for someone poor like them. It did not faze them too much but It does scared them both, especially Maria, but she consider her trauma were much lesser than Helga that were hurt in the process. Sitting in the living room, gazing on the windows and illuminated by the moon light, Maria fell deep in thought.“Miss Maria…what are you thinking about?…Is it about him?”. (Helga)Helga rarely sees her missus, sitting alone in the dark and have a silent deep thought like this. But still rather than being worried about her, she sees that Maria were not actually in a depression but rather, all alone blushing to herself, while repeatedly folding the Aeternum Military Uniform on her lap.“.…Yes…He stepped in a crucial moment…Strong yet well mannered…
When I were in the military, I had rarely involved in the after affects of a war, mostly all I do is become the medic, or just went into the battlefield and kill enemies and head back. But here, I had to take on that roles, some might think of it as difficult but me, It was just a bunch of paper works and details planning. Since I have already went around the entire city, I got the broad pictures of all the issues that I had to take care of, before Aeternum Army and the First World Alliance pull out from the Hallerusia City.“Major Gregg..how about the current state of the city…if the safety on par?..”.“It is sir…we have made a total of 5245 arrest of the Soldiers that were trying to interrupt the public safety..All of the cases were, breaking and entering, attempted robbery, rape, blackmailing and murder…there’s quite a number of it..but all the crimes that were coming from the Alliance Side wer
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
