Alfred who were standing close behind both of them, were both fascinated and also feeling a goose bump around his body as he watched the 2 fluent father and daughter discussing such matter like they were speaking about any regular stuff. Watching the 2 Handmaids who were shivering at the corner, in tears watching their favourite lovely little princess speaking of death so easily, break their previous image of the lovely princess.
“..Ahem!!..My lord, Princess~…you both should stop talking about this matter now…”. (Alfred)
Awkwardly stepping in to make sure that both of the President and the Princess Image won’t be harmed.
“huh?..why Alfred?..Daddy and I were just talking about a realistic matter…shouldn’t they be punished if they makes things hard for Daddy?..”.(Yggdrasil)
Innocently she speaks as if there were nothing wrong about it. Which grea
With her Mother holding her and lulls her, Yggdrasil were fast to fall asleep. Elijah sure is her mother, because no one could handled her like she did, while cradling her, we both enjoyed our rare silence late afternoon of having tea whilst leaning on each others.“Do you think it was normal to speak about things like that?…”. (Elijah)“..For a child on her age….I guess it was not…but in my life I have seen some that like that….I don’t know, Elijah…it’ just that I feel connected to her like so…”.“I guess so…she is your daughter after all….but don’t forget that Yggdrasil..is still a Mother Tree…and her power is no joke…if she really decides that to happened…it will happen….us and you bonding with her is good…but restrained about the bloody things…”. (Elijah) 
Actually, regarding the 5thPrince of the Battle Star Empire, once he actually asked me to sponsor and also trained him to become the Emperor, joining the current race of the throne along side his other siblings. But I told him the bitter truth, that even with my sponsorship and help, it was not going to change anything at all. He will not be able to become the next emperor, all because of one big flaws that he had, which is lateness. He wanted to joined the race that has already been going on since before he was born. Whilst the other candidates has already long consolidates their positions, it was simply a foolish attempts.So I simply said no to him, but of course I did not left him hanging just like that. I know that Prince Saladin has contempt against the Empire and also his own father the Emperor. And he wishes nothing more than to see the destruction of that homeland of his, with that in mind, I gave him a goal. Which is to solidifies his
Prince Saladin, being the wise and intelligent individual as he is, knows the significant of his now new found advantages and made everything his and planned everything to his will. Thanks to that, despite not being in the race, instead he was slowly recognized as the King of the North Empire by the nations neighbouring to his territory. And in secret he was steadily increasing his prowess, without being discovered by anyone. But of Course of many people that were left in the dark, Aeternum knows everything.All because of the Aeternum Super Store, both functions as the Mercantile centers and also in secrets, information collections Center for Aeternum Intelligence. It was shocking to know that people of this Era have a very loose lips, when it comes to secrets. People speaks almost at every corner of Aeternum Super store, be it at the inside of the stores, the Bar, the hotels, people just talked. Aeternum Super Store Hotels, lounge and the Restaurant has appare
“Welcome home, Mina…<Chup~>…How are you doing?..”.“Same as always..nothing really an issues to me…but it was lonely that you were not here Darling~…even Rafaela were missing you….owh~..Sister Andrea, is the tea already emptied?….don’t worry, let me make them again…also…it was already late now…everyone…let’s get inside the manor now…it won’t be good, if we all catch a cold~..”. (Mina)As always, the gentlest and the maternal of all sister was Mina. Seeing that the sun were already out, with her suggestions, we all changed our venue, and this time it was in my study. By now, everyone were already home, and already have their showers and changes of clothes, including me. Right now, we all gathered again to continues our talks, Rafaela and Bina were here too, and both of them didn’t bother to hold back to shower me
If there’s any intelligence organizations in Fantasma that can topple C.I.A.A, I can bravely say that I will quite become a president of this country. The information that C.I.A.A collected were so detailed that, in the binder in my hand, it was even shows the smallest details about Qekin Rivgog, even the Information regarding his children and what their favourite foods were all displayed in the files. I doubt that even the top information Guild in Central Continent can know about this information.“Second Person of interest..Amalinde Stammler, Female…age, 33 years old, unmarried and a secret widower, Race Red fox Demi-Human..Eldest Daughter and the current Regent Matriarch of the Stammler Family…No child but currently taking care of her deceased Elder Brother Daughter and the future Matriarch, Zelinde Stammler…The lord of Stammler City, one of the many autonomous city state inside the Forbidden Land….the reasons for
Regardless, the informal discussion I had with everyone does helped me, in determined what paths that I should take from here on forth. The War in Hallerus does made an impact on my mental health, the anger and frustrations from the failure does eating me slowly without me knowing. I am a perfectionist by nature and when thing doesn’t goes my way I tend to overly dwells in them a little bit too long. Thanks to Elijah and the others, I managed to get that negativity out of my head and now focusing on the other things that is matter.Also, with an intense 6 ways intercourse that I had last night which continues all the way until dawn. It helped me quite a bit, I don’t know if I am just a ravenous person or that Curse just resonates well with me and amplify my hidden desires by a notch. Then again as a man, I could be saying that I am living the dream, I am a place and positions that I can have sex whenever I wanted. Perhaps in the end, I was unleashing
T.A.S confirmations added to the shocked and marvel that I have at the moment. It was almost to the point of and absurdity for such things to happened, Up until now, even the development of New City when it was made took the estimations of completion that was a little bit longer then the Project that were held on Earth. It was shocking to me that this could happened.“Selie…come to my office now…also bring my my coffee..”.I called Selie via intercom, thought the phones that were used was the one that were exactly from Earth. Actually it was already being modified by the Research and Development Department, which now used both the power and the signal transmission using magic and also Mana Cores.“<Knock!>..<Knock!>…here’s your Coffee Sir..What can I help you with sir?..”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)A perfectly warm and blend of milk coffe
Surprisingly, there were numbers of interesting things that happened while I was away for 1 and a half month in the war campaign. The day I left, was also the day of the University and the High School first Graduations. And it seems like many stuff happened in that short span of time, and many of it were a good thing. Because thanks to this Aeternum were keep on growing day by days. I was rather excited to see how the Residential Project has been proceeding for myself.“Selie…prepare the car…we will head out to inspect the Residential Project in Central Shark Region…”.“..Yes sir…then I should I move the second schedule of the meeting with the Ministers to a little bit latter?..”.(Lieutenant Colonel Selie)“With whom do I meet for the second Schedule?…”.“Minister of Health, Minister Rafaela…regarding the new prototyp
"Your Majesty, to attempt full restoration in so short a time—""Will cost," she interrupted. "Yes, I know. But the people have paid enough. Now it’s our turn."What followed was a flurry of action unlike anything Hallerus had seen in decades. Labor crews moved out in droves. Merchants were granted tax reprieves to reopen. Public works officials received emergency authority. For once, the gears of governance turned swiftly.But still, the people watched with wary eyes.In the village of Elbarrow, a merchant shook his head as soldiers repaired a broken bridge."They say it’s Queen Helen’s will," he muttered. "But we've heard such promises before.""Aye," replied a farmer, watching with folded arms. "But maybe this time it sticks. She walked among us, didn’t she? My cousin swears she saw her with the duke."Rumors of the queen’s journey spread like wildfire. With them came cautious hope.One evening, at a small gathering hosted by village elders in Merrowind, Helen removed her hood and
"Transparency will be paramount. Council sessions will be documented, and decisions made in conjunction with the Crown will be communicated openly. This is not a move to consolidate power, but to distribute it wisely, ensuring that the governance of Hallerus reflects the will and welfare of its people."Lord Dallren, who had been silently observing, stepped forward. "Your Majesty, such a council could indeed bridge the gap between the Crown and the nobility, fostering unity. I support this initiative."A ripple of agreement spread through the assembly.Helen continued, "Furthermore, to address the grievances of our citizens and promote economic growth, we shall implement reforms aimed at equitable taxation and the eradication of corrupt practices that have long plagued our administration."Duke Merrica added, "These reforms will not only strengthen our internal stability but also enhance our standing among neighboring realms, fostering alliances and trade relations."Viscount Rellan,
A murmur of agreement rippled through the assembly.Helen's gaze swept over the room, her eyes meeting those of each noble in turn. "I have summoned you here not only to reaffirm our unity but to propose measures that will ensure the stability and prosperity of Hallerus for generations to come."Viscount Rellan, his earlier defiance now replaced with a veneer of compliance, inclined his head. "Your Majesty, what measures do you propose?"Helen took a measured breath. "Firstly, we shall establish a council comprising representatives from each noble house. This council will serve as an advisory body, ensuring that all voices are heard and that governance is conducted with transparency and fairness."Baroness Yvette Darrow, her scepticism barely concealed, arched an eyebrow. "And what powers would this council hold, Your Majesty?"Helen met Yvette's gaze unwaveringly. "The council will have the authority to propose legislation and oversee its implementation. However, ultimate executive p
Amidst the turmoil, Duke Merrica found himself face-to-face with Lord Dallren."Merrica," Dallren sneered, blood trickling from a wound on his brow. "Betraying your own kind for that girl?"Merrica's grip tightened on his sword. "My loyalty lies with Hallerus, not with those who would see it rot from within."Their blades met in a fierce exchange, each strike echoing their clashing ideologies.Nearby, Baroness Yvette confronted Queen Helen."Your Majesty," Yvette began, her tone almost mocking, "you've become quite the thorn in our side."Helen met her gaze unwaveringly. "And you, Baroness, have leeched off this kingdom for too long."Yvette smirked, drawing her dagger. "Let's see if you're as formidable with a blade as you are with words."As the battle raged on, it became evident that the Queen's Faction held the advantage. The support of the common folk had bolstered their numbers, and the corrupt nobles' forces began to waver.Count Vorell, witnessing the disarray, turned to his r
A trusted royal scribe—a man who had served the palace for over a decade—was found dead before sunrise. A dagger coated in poison was discovered strapped to his leg. The second attempt followed soon after.A servant carrying tea for the Queen was intercepted before she could enter the throne room. Hidden beneath the silver tray was a vial of deadroot extract, a lethal poison. The servant, after interrogation, confessed that her family had been taken hostage by nobles who ordered the hit.Then came the third, fourth, and fifth attempts. Archers on rooftops. Explosives set along the Queen’s carriage route. Blades hidden in the folds of a courtier’s robes.Each time, the assassins failed. Each time, they disappeared without a trace. Helen knew who was behind it. But rather than show fear, she faced the storm head-on.Seated in her war room, Helen traced her fingers along a map of Hallerus, where red ink circled enemy strongholds. Duke Merrica stood beside her, arms folded, his sharp eyes
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
