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
6thDivision Major Amanda were specially tasked by me, to secured a hidden path for all the Resource Department logistics to carefully and secretly smuggled out all of the Loot that has been collected by the Intelligence Squads and the Special Force Squads that were apart of the Operation Midnight Shadows. We knows that the Ministers were secretly stealing everything inside the palace, including draining the Palace treasury for their own benefits.With this information, I have made a mission for the Intelligence Squad to track down everything. And last night the operation is a go, which is ransacking those nobles hidden stash, be it coins or artefact, everything were haul. And the next phase was the chaotic war, in the midst of the War, 6thDivision were tasked to secure route and also bringing everything out, in the span of the entire war. That is why the Southern Wall fall first, despite the Northern Wall were already conquered
“I’m going to keep this simple and brief…after all, I know you all were tired…after all we’re just went through a war…”.“..Oh, Sir..please,you can take as long as you want…don’t mind us…we are not that tired…”. (5thDivision Major Gregg Chabot)All of them shows exactly the same expression, like the weren’t tired at all. But who are they going to lie, I know what it is after a war, even if you not physically exhausted, your mental will need rest. I just smile at their enthusiastic response.“...Anyway, let’s start with 5thDivision first…Just like what you have been doing, keep the peace within the city…I predicted starting from tomorrow..the city will return to their bustling self…so we need to make sure that the order will not lost…Keeping the order wil
“We aren’t the only one that have a thought..the others have them too…so be careful, from now on..reminded our troop too…even if we were dissatisfied with them.. we must not let it shows…Clear?..”.“Yes Sir..”.( All Majors)“Good…Now, as 5thDivision were handling the public safety…4th Division will process all the Prisoners…both the Enemy captives and also the criminals that were arrested…do not mixed both of this category….we also need to prepared another places to hold another prisoners…the criminal nobles…I have informed the Hallerus factions before that, they would have to executes the Nobles Criminals..”.The situations regarding the criminals and the surrender and capture enemies, need to be addressed. They have to be kept apart, as there might be a danger when all of them were placed tog
“As for the last one, is concerning our logistics…6th Division will take a full control of this…alongside all of our remaining troops..I don’t want to delay our departure from this place too much…so, with this…I want our Army to start boxing everything and started to send any resources back to Aeternum…”.It was of no use to stay here more than absolutely necessary, I have predicted that one week will be the time limit where Aeternum Army and also the First World Alliance Army to stay here in the city. Any longer, then issues will start to rise, given the situations, surely the First World Alliance including Aeternum can’t truly left for good. But at the very least the troops should be returned to their home country, to avoid both issue in the city and also a dissatisfaction from the Alliance Country, After all they were all here in borrowed terms.“I understand sir..then, I sh
With all the Major issues has been discussed and solved, we further discussed about the minor things. So in the end, the meeting went for a little while and by the time we finished everything it was already 12 in the midnight. Still Aeternum Camp were still active, and so is the City. As everyone started to leave, it was only me and Captain Linda were left in the Command tent.“Linda..how are those at the palace were doing?…did the Princess did anything like what happened at the Bridge again?..”.“...For those that were captured in the Audience Chamber…she didn’t do much but kept them alive and locked them in the dungeon…but to many that were captured in the dungeon by the previous rulers..she let everyone out….Thanks to, High General Bina, Princess Angela, Duchess Kolarova and Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon…those that were released were being questioned and investigate of their background
It was already 1 in the morning, as I walked through the already subsided Hallerusia City. There were a few lights coming from the houses and tavern on the side of the streets, the drunkards are celebrating even to the outside of their taverns, walking happily to their homes or even dancing on the streets. I sink in the moment, seeing this foreign felling of the world of Medieval Fantasy. Which is something that I usually never got the chance to.“[ different isn’t it?…We never got the chance to see this side of the Fantasma, as you mostly just stuck in your office all the time….]”. (T.A.S)“...yeah…it’s just that one time when we become the mercenary that we got the chance to see the world….even then we only managed to go around Hallerus…..this world is big…”.“[Hmmm…..somehow I sense yearning in your tone, Master…..why not
Lt. Colonel Mara, the commanding officer of the Aeternum Commandos, leaned back in her chair, her feline tail flicking with interest as she listened to the orders. A wide, predatory grin stretched across her lips.“So, we have permission to strike?” she mused, her sharp canines glinting under the dim light.Director Rose nodded. “Yes, but keep it covert. No bodies left behind. No traces of Aeternum involvement. The Hunters need to disappear, one by one.”Mara let out a pleased hum, stretching her arms. “Finally, some action.”She turned to her squad, a unit made entirely of Demi-Human soldiers, hardened warriors who had once been outcasts but were now the elite protectors of Aeternum. Their eyes gleamed with anticipation.“You heard the orders,” Mara said. “Hunt the Hunters.”A chorus of agreement rumbled through the squad as they stood, gathering their weapons and preparing to move.Within the hour, the first Hunter would vanish without a trace. Then the second. Then the third. By th
That morning, the Royal Air Force transport ships arrived, descending from the sky like iron birds. For many in Madeline’s group, it was the first time they had ever seen such machines. They gawked in awe, some even dropping to their knees, unsure of what to make of the sight.A kind-looking Aeternum officer, Captain Lionel, stepped forward with a reassuring smile. "You’re safe now. Welcome to Aeternum."As the first groups boarded the aircraft, a sense of relief washed over Madeline. She held her children's hands tighter, tears brimming in her eyes. They were leaving behind a life of oppression, stepping into a future filled with hope.Meanwhile, across Aeternum, preparations were in full swing. Temporary housing, employment programs, and citizenship processing centers were established. The government, military, and civilian volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure that every refugee received what they needed to start anew.And as the first waves of refugees arrived in Aeternum territo
"Agent Tulip," she introduced herself, lowering her weapon. "A.C.I.A."Madeline, still gripping her dagger, felt her knees weaken in relief."Aeternum? You’re... you’re from Aeternum?"Tulip gave a small nod. "That’s right. And I’ve been following your group for some time now. You’re heading for the Wasteland, correct? Trying to reach Aeternum?"Madeline’s eyes burned with emotion. "Yes. We want to leave this godforsaken empire behind. We want a better life."Tulip studied the desperate faces before her. "You’re not alone. There are thousands just like you all across the Empire, moving in different groups, all heading for Aeternum."Murmurs of shock spread through the crowd."You mean... others are escaping too?" an older woman asked, voice trembling with hope.Tulip nodded. "Yes. And Aeternum knows about it. We’ve been monitoring the situation, and Vice President Elijah has given orders to ensure your safe passage. The agents in Gulmina Town are working to assist as many of you as po
As night fell over Gulmina Town, the agents of the Flower Division prepared for their mission. Meanwhile, miles away, thousands of desperate souls navigated through the treacherous paths of the Battle Star Empire, their hearts filled with equal parts fear and hope. Unbeknownst to them, a lifeline had already been thrown their way, which is a help that these fleeing people would really need at the moment.“Agent Tulip, this is flower garden, we are permitted to assist the ‘Suspected group’ safe passage to the Flower Garden, order is coming from the tops, over and out”. Agent Lilac voice comes from the cellphone on Agent Tulip hands. “Order received, Over and out,”At the moment, Agent Tulip is walking in the shadow at the outskirts of Penny City, her base of operation was Penny City, where she had been collecting information inside the city for over a few months now. she was shocked when just a day ago over a few thousand people silently slipping out of the city in the middle of the ni
Back in Gulmina Town, Rose received another update from her field agents. The movements from the Battle Star Empire were increasing by the hour. The number of fleeing citizens wasn’t in the hundreds—it was reaching the tens of thousands."Ma’am," Agent Dandelion’s voice crackled over the secured radio line, "This isn’t just a few families running. It’s an exodus. We’re talking about entire villages emptying overnight. And… I don’t think the Empire is going to let them go so easily."Rose tightened her grip on the receiver. "Understood. Keep tracking the movements. If the Empire retaliates, we’ll have to consider intervention. I need a report every hour."As the radio clicked off, Rose exhaled sharply. "It looks like the world is about to change again."Director Rose sat in her dimly lit office, the glow of the intelligence reports reflecting in her piercing eyes. The weight of the information she had just received pressed heavily on her. She had seen many things in her time leading th
As the secret mass of exodus happened all around the Battle Star Empire, on the border of Battle Star Empire, the west side of it, a small town inside the Forbidden Wasteland, Gulmina Town a peaceful Demi-Human town, who frequently visited by the Battle Star Empire merchants. In the town mayor office. A rather unsettling news reached Mayor Thunder, a Rabbitkin mayor, who prompted him to go to the basement of Mayor office at once.“Is this true, Mayor Thunder?” a woman, dressed in a full black suit, read the note on her desk“I believed so, Madam Rose, this information comes from our agent inside of the Battle Star Empire, there is no mistake there at all, I guarantee it…”. Mayor Thunder says, confidently.“Alright…Agent Lilac, open communication order to all of our agents in Battle Star Empire…My order, all agents are to gather information of this odd mas movement towards Forbidden Wasteland coming from Battle Star Empire, approach with caution and readiness… we suspected there will b
The Battle Star Empire had always been a nation defined by its hunger for power. Its rulers prided themselves on their unyielding iron grip, their ability to bend lesser nations through sheer brute force. Diplomacy was nothing more than a formality—true negotiations were conducted with swords, not words. The empire's vast territory was a testament to this philosophy, carved out through centuries of conquest, its borders drawn in blood.But for those who lived under its rule, life was nothing short of relentless suffering. Any male, that reached the adulthood, would have 90% chances to be drafted into army, it doesn’t matter which army the noble private army or the empire army itself. And if any man were able to be in those lucky 10% escape the recruit in their young age, sometimes a long their lives they would eventually fight in an army anyway.Battle Star Empire, is a nation that were completely plague with overflowing machismo and patriarchal extreme, for as long as anyone can reme
At a newly established public kitchen in the capital, Joana, a single mother who had once struggled to provide for her child, stood proudly in her chef’s uniform. She had found work in one of the many public kitchens established by Aeternum to provide affordable meals to the people. The wages were fair, the working conditions were humane, and, most importantly, she felt valued. Gone were the days when women were treated as second-class citizens. Here, under Aeternum’s rule, she had a future.Nearby, General Lucas, a towering lion demi-human with a commanding presence, observed Joana’s interactions with the demi-human workers in the kitchen. He noted how she tried, albeit awkwardly, to engage in casual conversation with them, a stark contrast to how most Alemia citizens had once viewed demi-humans. A small smirk formed on his face as he approached her.“You’re doing well,” Lucas said in his deep, rumbling voice, causing Joana to nearly drop the ladle she was holding. She turned to face
A month had passed since the war ended, and the world, as always, continued to move forward. However, it was undeniable that the political landscape had shifted dramatically, and a new force had firmly established itself on the global stage—Aeternum. What was once a rising nation with ambitious ideals had now solidified its position as a powerful entity in the Central Continent, a force that no nation could ignore any longer.Despite the war's conclusion, the waves created by Aeternum's actions continued to ripple across the continent. Political strategists, rulers, and merchants alike were taking a closer look at this rapidly growing power. Aeternum had not only demonstrated military prowess by decisively defeating the Alemia Nation and emerging victorious against the Principality of Light—one of the most deeply entrenched human-supremacist religious nations—but had also showcased its ability to govern efficiently. The speed at which it had stabilized Alemia Region, integrating it in
