Never in his wildest mind to be scared like just like he had felt just a few seconds ago. The Captain of Hallerus Royal Palace Knight, Baron Anshrew still have the chill rundown his spine as he were recalled the voice of the Aeternum President, Which had turned him into a traffic master unknowingly before his very own men like a fool. Truthfully he had never felt the fear like this before even though he had fought against a Tier 5 Monster.
Although the War and the ascension of Queen Helen Hallerus, were the main topic all over the Hallerus Kingdom and also the Hallerusia City. There was another hot piece of news that kept everyone on their toes and attentions, it was even the topic of all the Nobles in the Hallerusia City and the Palace. That was the President of Aeternum, or the King of Aeternum himself, one was his breathtaking appearance, a very strikingly handsome man in his prime, two, his ginormous wealth and Aeternum itself , three, His mysterious Power a
The sight of the Royal Knight kneeling before the Queen in the banquet were not that too much attracting attentions of the ongoing merriment of the Ball. But to the person that were listening to the Knight it was another different story, because the news that he brought were making them unable to composed their minds.“What?…you were Saying the the Aeternum President were also in the Parade heading to the palace?..”. (Queen Helen Hallerus)The arrival of the President were something that they all not anticipated, because all the meetings that were held before, he has not even appeared in it. Also the fact that they know that the President were already offended by them were something that they were feared that it would happened again. The meeting is going to happened in a few more minutes, yet they were still in the ball, laughing and enjoying the moment.“...I have offended him once, and I will n
The Banquet hall went silent that even a dropped of a single pin can be heard everywhere. All of it was because of President Mies Killing Intent that flooded the entire hall and strangling every single soul in it, This was a clear shows of power from the President who only said a few sentences the entire time.“Then again, who am I to nitpick of all the petty things that you wanted to do with your life….but, I dislike it when the things that you does, hinders my work….”.It was enough death intent from me for today, Looking from the after effect, I were quite satisfied. All of them were clearly shaken to their cores, but Duke Merrica is surely on his own standard, a man of his words, he actually brunt my Killing Intent that I directed at the Queen though in the end it was a useless attempt.“...Please, forgive us for our oversight…Your Excellency…we..”. (Duke Merr
The way I acted at the banquet were already clear enough to show my stance in all this matter regarding Hallerus Kingdom for now and the near future. This has clearly made Duke Merrica sitting is a sore spot, he knows that he had his decision already made for him, and now he knows what I had decide for myself, and both of us who were friends are now sitting a complete opposite.“you were coming quite strong there, Mies,..”. (Duke Merrica)“...Sometimes…that’s was just the way it is my Friend…at first I only wanted to help…because you and the once eager child that you brought to me, asked for it….”.“..I see….then, what made the change?..”. (Duke Merrica)“...you already know what made it change…there’s a limit to greed and disrespect…and also, I have also my limit…if it weren’t for our
Instead of waiting for the hall to be ready by the Hallerus Servant, the Entourage that we bought with us were the one that moving around to prepare the hall for the meetings, lighting lights, the papers laid out, the tables even opening the windows curtains. When all of this were done, Duke Merrica were also active in moving around and helping with everything, after all the display such as this were embarrassing for the Duke too. Finally after a long fit of rage and shouts that Duke Merrica does outside the hall, and him shouting for the Palace Butlers and maids.It was only then that the servant of the Palace frantically moved to the Meeting Hall, rushing to get everything ready. Duke Merrica were beyond furious at this point, he even got his swords out and lashing out at every single person that just started to appeared. As for me and the other leaders, we were just hanging out at the Hall balcony, gazing at the flickering of light down at the city below.
Just like we were in our own circle, so does Queen Helen and her troops of noble, that were just entering the room together with her. The already lost a finger Count Kabronel were also coming into the room, behind the Queen, which is now all of them were visibly shaken and at the same time also furious, Not that it impacted me even a little bit. Instead of going straight to sit down at the table with them, I rather ignored them. Princess Angela, Count William, Grand Magus Soo and Duchess Kolarova were beside me, seeing that I didn’t even have a thought of going inside, they too just lingers around me, chatting.“Sire President, the Queen of Hallerus has arrived..”, (Bina)“Ehm….let her wait..”.“Understood Sire..”. (Bina)Bina who is standing inside the Meeting Hall, nearby the door to the balcony, gently reminded me. Though she knew that I know that t
Inside the meeting hall the ruckus has already started, it was mostly the Nobles behind Queen Hallerus were the one that were barking amongst themselves, one side wanted to keep waiting in silence and another were bickering and complaining that they should be respected. Even so, despite their loud mouth running the whole time, not a single person were dared enough to approach the balcony where I were standing.“Even though they were quite impatient….I guess none of them have the guts to really speak out to you, President Mies..”. (Grand Magus Soo Kwan Hon)Unlike the many, Grand Magus Soo, were quite relaxed in these situations, whilst the others were showing a little bit worried at the current situation.“..that were all there to them, Grand Magus…people like tend to make others do things for them…never dirtied their hands on the first place….it was clear what they wan
The High General reply were something that the Hallerussian has never thought that they would hear, it shocked them to the point that no one could utter a single words. The High General has put every single Hallerussian in the room who acted haughtily the whole time down a peg, back to their own place. Even the old nobles fogies that were lining up behind the Queen back were so angry that they were unable to process what just happened.“How dare you said that!!!…”. (Baron Jokovic)As always the first person that were spouting the remark were the annoying fat baron who keep sweating and jiggling his fat chin.“Stop this…silence!..”. (Queen Helen Hallerus)Seeing everything were about to spiral out of control, the Queen were being careful at the moment. Because unlike the others, there is something that she were trying to achieve in this meeting, though right now t
One can say that the moment I entered the Hall from the balcony was a perfect timing, it was if I were waiting for that to happened. But even so no one can disregard that the Hallerus Noble has insulted and offended an Aeternum High level Ministers. This in itself was an actions that can justify a cause of war, should I wanted to do so, in order to recover the Honour of Aeternum High nobility personage.“...War…..isn’t that to stretched?…it..it was just an wrongly put words…done by a moment of blunder in the spite of a justified intense situations…”. (Queen Helen Hallerus)Clearly she was trying to remedied the situations, it was her side were the one that were clearly on the wrong this whole time. At the same time, she was finally realizes that she has been following the flows of the nobles the whole time, letting them say anything they wanted.“Intense situation
“This is why I serve Aeternum,”he said.“Our government doesn’t hide anything from us. The President shows us the truth—the corruption, the suffering, everything. We’re not here for conquest. We’re here to fix what’s broken.”A sergeant nearby nodded.“And the Crown Prince? He deserves everything that’s coming to him. My wife is from Alemia, and she told me stories of what that man has done—taxing people into starvation while throwing lavish parties. It’s disgusting.”Another soldier, a former immigrant from Alemia, added,“It’s not just him. The entire royal family let this happen. But the fact that the President is willing to spare Queen Romella and preserve a part of Alemia’s heritage? That shows we’re not here to destroy—we’re here to rebuild.”Even the officers echoed similar sentiments. In the command tent, a group of captains discussed the decision over steaming mugs of coffee.“This is why we’re different,” one of them said.“Other nations would have razed Alemia to the groun
“What do you want to do, Your Excellency? Should we accept her surrender?”I exhaled slowly, feeling the weight of the decision before me.“We’ll accept it,”I said finally.“But under our terms. She will relinquish everything, including her dignity as a monarch. She’ll serve as an example of what happens when leaders fail their people. Let her live—but only just enough to remind everyone of the cost of her failures.”Elijah’s tone softened, a hint of respect in her voice.“Understood. I’ll finalize the arrangements and have her surrender publicly acknowledged at the right time. This war is finally nearing its end.”I sat back in my chair, my gaze drifting to the reports strewn across my desk. The Alemia Nation, a land plagued by incompetence and corruption, was finally crumbling. Its remnants would soon be swept away by the strength and unity of Aeternum. In the background, the low hum of Dragon One’s engines served as a steady reminder of the impending victory. The final steps were
“It’s over,”she announced, her voice echoing through the chamber.“The Alemia Royalty Faction has fallen—quietly, and without resistance.”The officers in the war room erupted into a flurry of activity, relaying the monumental news across Aeternum’s military network. But amidst the chaos, there was an undercurrent of somber resolve.“This is why Aeternum must lead,”one officer murmured to his colleague.“Their so-called queen waited until the very end to take responsibility—and only when her back was against the wall.”Another officer nodded.“At least she’s surrendering. But the damage is done. Her people have suffered for far too long. It’s time we clean up this mess.”Elijah listened to their hushed conversations; her expression unreadable. Though her demeanor was calm and composed, a storm of thoughts churned within her mind. She knew that this surrender, while significant, was only the beginning. The real work—rebuilding Alemia and bringing it under Aeternum’s banner—was yet to
In the heart of New City, the nerve center of Aeternum’s military operations—The Black House War Room—was abuzz with activity. Communication officers called out coordinates, screens lit up with battlefield updates, and every second was accounted for as the final stages of the Alemia campaign unfolded. Vice President Elijah, seated on the imposing Command Throne, presided over it all with her usual steely composure.But then, a phone rang—a call not routed through the usual secure military channels. The sudden interruption brought the entire room to a halt. All eyes turned to Elijah as she picked up the receiver.“This is Vice President Elijah,”she announced firmly.A familiar but timid voice greeted her.“Vice President Elijah… this is Queen Romella of Alemia.”The room fell into complete silence. Every officer present held their breath, straining to catch any hint of what was being said. The weight of the unexpected call hung heavily in the air.Elijah’s voice turned ice-cold, her t
Meanwhile, in the Aeternum camp, soldiers discussed the situation in hushed but animated tones. The transparency of the president’s leadership and the reports of the Alemia government’s incompetence had ignited a fiery determination among them.“Did you hear the latest report?”one soldier asked, leaning over his meal tray.“The queen herself admitted to being a puppet for the nobles. Can you believe that?”Another soldier scoffed.“It’s disgusting. They let their people starve and suffer while they live in luxury. No wonder Aeternum had to step in.”A younger recruit, still fresh to the army, spoke up hesitantly.“Do you think we’re really doing the right thing? Taking over an entire nation?”The veteran sitting next to him clapped him on the shoulder.“Kid, we’re not just taking over. We’re fixing what they broke. Look around you—this isn’t a war for power. It’s a war for justice.”The recruit nodded slowly, his doubts fading.“I just… I’ve never seen a leader like the president bef
“You know what I appreciate most about this war?”he asked, his voice thoughtful.“It’s the transparency. The president told us everything—why we’re here, what we’re fighting for. I’ve never served in an army like this before.”The others nodded in agreement.“That’s because there isn’t another army like this,”a veteran said proudly.“We’re not just fighting for a paycheck or some king’s ego. We’re fighting for something real—for justice, for the people who’ve been suffering under their rule.”The soldiers’ confidence was unshakable. They knew they were on the right side of history, and the enemy’s disarray only reinforced their belief in the righteousness of their cause. As the sun began to set, the Aeternum Army remained motionless, their lines unbroken, their discipline unwavering. On the horizon, the camps of Crown Prince Amariss and Queen Romella descended further into chaos, their once-proud armies teetering on the brink of collapse. Inside the Dragon One, I stood at the observ
On the Aeternum side, the mood couldn’t have been more different. The soldiers, aware of the psychological impact their stillness was having on the enemy, were brimming with confidence.“This is genius,”Private Luthar said, his voice filled with admiration.“The President doesn’t even need to lift a finger, and they’re already falling apart.”Sergeant Maia, a veteran soldier, nodded.“That’s why I serve him. He doesn’t just fight wars—he wins them before they even start.”Another soldier chuckled.“Can you imagine what they must be thinking right now? All those nobles and commanders, shaking in their boots, wondering when we’re going to strike. It’s beautiful.”The soldiers also appreciated the transparency I had shown by sharing the compiled evidence of Alemia’s crimes. For many, it reinforced their faith in Aeternum’s leadership and the righteousness of their cause.“I’ve served in armies before,”Corporal Darius said,“But never in one where the leader actually tells you why you’r
In the higher echelons of command, the reactions were just as impassioned. Grand General Bina and General Lucas, in particular, were vocal about their disgust."This is beyond negligence,"Bina said during a video conference."It’s a betrayal of everything a government is supposed to stand for. These people aren’t leaders—they’re parasites."Lucas, ever the fiery lion demi-human, growled in agreement."They’ve lost the right to govern. We’re not just here to fight a war—we’re here to restore dignity to this land. And by the time we’re done, Alemia will be a shining example of what Aeternum can achieve."Even General Eliza, known for her bubbly personality, was unusually serious."I’ve always thought of war as a necessary evil,"she said."But this? This is justice. And I can’t wait to see the look on those nobles’ faces when they realize their time is up."By the time the army resumed its march, every soldier was fully motivated, their spirits higher than ever. The Aeternum Army wasn’
"This is why we step up,"I said quietly, almost to myself but loud enough for everyone to hear."Because no one else will.""Aeternum leads,"Selie said, her voice steady."And we don’t falter,"Captain Lionel added. The room was silent once more, but this time it wasn’t somber. It was charged with purpose.As the clock ticked closer to the final battle, the Aeternum Army continued its march, undeterred and unwavering. On all fronts—north, south, east, and west—the troops advanced with a singular purpose: to bring justice, order, and prosperity to Alemia.For the first time in a long time, Alemia’s people would have something to believe in—a government that didn’t just promise change but delivered it.And as the Dragon One flew high above the battlefield, its presence a symbol of Aeternum’s strength and resolve, everyone knew that this was more than just a war. This was a turning point—a moment that would define not just Alemia’s future but the very essence of what Aeternum stood for
