The flight from the Capital to Shark City, were not that long actually. In the mean time I was able to finished a few touched up paper, and also revising some new progress that Aeternum many departments has achieved. I was quite pleased and also impressed as I witnessed the new changed of Shark City. It was slowly staying true to it’s title, the Second Main City of Aeternum, it was bustling and lively, the views from the air, easily enable me to see the progress that were currently happening in the city. The once small city that were just surrounded with tall Stones walls, is getting modernized.
There were numbers of high rise building already started to beautify the city. The Shark Region Government Complex in the middle of the city was iconic and easy to be identified even from afar, it resembles the Government Complex ground back in New City, the Governor office were designed to be similar to the Black House, but only smaller in scales. On top of that t
In the bustling Aero Port arrival terminal, the VVIP Arrival sections were rather calm and serene. But in here there were rather dozens of people that were welcoming me to the Shark City, Governess Jelina were the only Aeternum Official in Shark Region that were allowed to be here. Actually I don’t really mind if she weren’t here to welcome me, after all I don’t have any work to do with her, Still she was here, after Selie alarmed her that I would be coming here. And as always in Fantasma it was a customs for nobles to welcome a royalty as grand as possible.Which explained her bringing perhaps all the Servants of her family with her. Maids, Knights and even butlers were all line up perfectly behind her. Along with Jelina, there were also her First and Second Child, Adriana Von Jelina and Genevieve Von Jelina. Both of them were fairly famous celebrities in the New City and one of the precious talents that the Ministers Cabinets were looki
Aeternum selected the Official positions by simply following my secret criteria, that is also the reason as to why many of the positions in the government that were filled by the Aeternums that were of the first generations that felt the hardship alongside me. Then again since the time has changed it was also the time for the new face to enter the office. And of course ever single person had to fulfill the conditions, Adriana Von Jelina does fulfill that criteria.“I am honored to be able to be known by Sire President…”.“Well…you deserved it…that is why I was rather puzzled seeing you here, instead at the Capital…”. (Adriana Von Jelina)“Haha..the kids were just graduated..so I thought it was better for them to take some time off In the family lands..before letting them follow their dreams..”.(Governess Countess Jelina)“..that&rs
Since we both know what we want it was easy, I already consider Jelina as one of the person inside my circle of friends, if she said so, I would arranged Adriana as she wanted, after all Adriana is a suitable candidates for the job. There were no need for her to do this, but she still did because in the end habits of her old lifestyle were hard to let go. Also, Genevieve is actually a great writer, which is a person that I greatly need right now to diverse the Entertainment variety at my Radio program.“...Umm…if you said it like that….then I have no choice to follow your Highness Arrangements…”. (Governess Countess Jelina)She make it as if I were the one that forcing her hands. Which at the same time also displayed to the others that she and I had a very good relationship. Jelina were sneaky like that, but she does not offended me in any way, When I were in my good mood I would just let everything slides.
“Then…Shall we get moving?…Jelina…I will visit the Governor Office later after I’ve done with my business…thanks for the welcoming ceremony…also, give some cars for my men to use whilst we were here…”.“Of course, Your Highness…I will no longer bother you…please enjoy your stay here…if you need anything…just tell Lieutenant Colonel Selie, I will do my best to accommodate your needs…”. (Governess Countess Jelina)I Could guess by everyone expression that they were rather down, because they can’t follow me and served me, especially those that were coming with Jelina. But at the same time I also see the waves of relief comes over them, after all serving a President is nerve wrecking, one wrong step, perhaps to them their neck will be separates from their heads. I am not that petty but at the same time I also don’t want to
To them it was small, but actually it was big. The Interior of the Sedan were the same size as the Limousine interior.not only that everything from the seats all the way to the compartment were all meticulously design to matched the vibes of the cars it was like another level of car modifications. I was quite surprised about this change, also I was also surprised that everything were made by the Research and Development Department, that they were the one that made this custom changes. I wonder why they haven’t mention this is their reports, do they think that this kind of discovery were not worth to mentions.With this kind of changes that can be apply to Cars, then there would be so many things that I can improved. So many things that can change easily an accommodates a lot of things. I was rather interested to see the limit of these discoveries, looks like there will be more things for me to discussed with Rafaela later. Me and the Youngsters continues o
After a brief small conversations, with Count Monti and Countess Vinetta, and also a whole strawberry cakes that I ate thanks to Countess Vinetta claimed that she herself that were made it. We went straight to the Residential District that the were my focused of visit. On the way, Count Monti and Garret Monti explained to me every single aspect of the projects, and how they approached it. And it seems that they have heed Resource Department advised to first construct the roads.“I see that the roads constructions and lay out around this Residential district were rather different than those that were usually seen on our usual roads..why is that?..”.“Well…there a reasons for that…since this was the residential area…we have decided that it would be best to downscale the roads a little bit..from 4 lanes to just 2 lanes….Also, since this was the area where there soon will be many to call home…
“You see here…if we continue to build everything like so…the whole place will be just like a Stone city…the overall view of the place would look rather depressing..right?…Since this was the place were many will call home…there need to be some beautification on the area…let just say…people love to stay at the place were it was both neat, safe and also pleasing to the the eyes….”.As I speaking everyone were listening to me hard, the Butlers behinds Count Monti was very fast to pulled out the Maps of the entire projects and also already got his pen and paper ready to take notes.“Let’s see…instead of just using a concrete Divider like this…follow the leads of the roads on the Capital…this rather than 1 meter high just concrete slabs, changed it..to half of it original heights…then designed it to be a planter box, so that you can plant gr
After my direct comment and suggestions was flying every time we visited every part of the Residential Centre, I can see just how they designed the entire thing. They were actually followed closely the already finished Architecture designed. Which is the New City Residential District, but rather than following the design as closely as possible, there a numbers of changes that had been made. Especially at the part where there were barely any type of decorations that were placed. If not for my advise for them to make sure to at least have some greenery, the whole project will be just a stone city.“So you were saying that this whole project were partially inspired by New City Residential District?….so what about the half of it?..”.“”Another half were coming from my own digressions Sire President,…I have been thinking rather quite a lot..after my Father, Count Monti….have decided to undertake the wo
“How… how does this place exist?” she asked hesitantly.The woman smiled kindly, but there was a hint of amusement in her golden eyes. “This is Aeternum,” she said. “And if you think this is impressive… just wait until you see the capital.”Marie and Madeline found themselves in a crowded plaza, where refugees were being processed for temporary housing and work permits. A man—a former Empire soldier—stood beside them, his arms crossed and eyes dark with unease.He had expected harsh treatment, possibly execution. Instead, a polite officer handed him a form and simply said, “You’ll be assigned to manual labor duty in the city cleanup effort. After three months of good conduct, you’ll be eligible for a new job.”He stared at the officer in disbelief.“Just… like that?” he whispered.The officer raised an eyebrow. “What, did you think we’d cut your head off?”The soldier didn’t answer. Because that’s exactly what would’ve happened in the Empire. Marie watched his expression crumble, as i
That night, Aeternum Special Forces operatives moved swiftly.At the city granaries, timed magic explosives were discreetly planted, set to ignite just before dawn. The city's key merchant houses received false messages, each forged to appear as if their rivals had plotted against them.Two high-ranking commanders of Velkan’s security forces were silently assassinated, their deaths staged as an internal betrayal. By the next morning, Velkan descended into anarchy. With food supplies mysteriously destroyed, merchants at each other’s throats, and security forces crippled, riots broke out across the city.The Empire’s forces stationed nearby? They were too afraid to step in, fearing yet another noble feud.As the fourteenth and final day of the operation arrived, General Xing stood on the hills outside Velkan, watching through his binoculars as the city descended into madness. The streets were filled with smoke from burning buildings, merchants clashed violently, and governors had begun
-New City – The Presidential Office-In the heart of New City, the capital of Aeternum, President Kaiser Mies Sai sat in his office, listening intently as Vice President Elijah outlined the current situation. Ministers Andrea of Resource Development and Rafela of Health, Education, and Science were also present, reviewing projections and risk assessments."With the sheer number of refugees arriving, we have two immediate concerns," Elijah stated, placing two documents in front of the President. "First, food and medical supplies. Second, permanent housing and employment. Without a clear plan, we risk destabilizing our own economy."President Mies skimmed the reports before nodding. “We’re already in the process of integrating Alemia Region, and now we have to build an entirely new infrastructure from scratch to support these people.”“That’s where Project Haven comes in,” Andrea interjected. She pulled out detailed blueprints, rolling them open across the large conference table. "We’ve
Alessia smirked. "Then it’s a good thing I’m here to help."Rose raised a curious brow. "Help? How?"The vampire turned her piercing gaze toward the director, a sly smile forming on her lips. "The President wants the Battle Star Empire to plunge into a massive state of confusion."Rose blinked. "Define 'massive confusion’?"Alessia placed a gloved hand on the table and leaned forward. "Aeternum has been extracting refugees under the Empire’s nose without them realizing. But it’s only a matter of time before they start piecing things together. Before that happens, we need to make sure they have bigger problems to worry about."Rose smirked. "Sabotage?"Alessia nodded. "Exactly. If the Empire is preoccupied with internal chaos, their forces won’t have the manpower or resources to focus on hunting refugees. I’ve already mobilized several of my best operatives from Wasteland Command. Our objective is to destabilize key areas near the border—supply chains, noble estates, military outposts.
Deep inside the Empire’s territory, a convoy of refugees moved cautiously through the dense forests of the Eastern States. The night air was cold, their breaths visible in the dim light of the moon. Leading the group was Marie, her heart pounding as she tried to keep her people silent. They had evaded the Empire’s patrols so far, but she knew their luck wouldn’t last forever.A rustling in the trees sent a ripple of fear through the group. Weapons—rudimentary and almost useless against trained soldiers—were gripped tighter. The faint echo of a whistle sliced through the silence, a signal they had been discovered.Suddenly, the trees erupted with gunfire. Sharp, precise shots rang through the air, and the unmistakable sound of bodies hitting the ground followed.“Stay down!” a gruff voice called out from the darkness.Out of the shadows, Aeternum’s Special Forces emerged, their dark uniforms blending into the surroundings. Their leader, Captain Soren of the 4th Special Operations Unit,
Meanwhile, deep in enemy territory, Major Riker’s team was executing their sabotage mission with terrifying precision. Explosions ripped through granaries, armories, and supply wagons. Horses screamed as stables were set ablaze, and Empire officers barked orders in panic, unable to comprehend the invisible force dismantling their infrastructure before their very eyes.Inside one of the fortified garrisons, an Empire noble lord clutched his gilded breastplate, his face drenched in sweat. "We’re being destroyed from the shadows! This is not a battle, it’s slaughter! Who is responsible for this?!"A terrified messenger, barely keeping his composure, stammered, "It’s the Aeternum, my lord… they wield weapons that spit fire and strike from afar like the gods themselves! We can’t—"Before he could finish, a single suppressed bullet pierced through the noble’s skull, dropping him lifelessly onto his grand war map."Target down. Moving to extraction," an Aeternum sniper reported through the r
As we continued to monitor the operation, the feed from a drone scout flickered onto the main screen, giving us a real-time view of the battlefield. Empire Hunters were scrambling, some of them already falling victim to the ambush tactics of the Commandos. The wasteland terrain favored our operatives, allowing them to strike swiftly before vanishing without a trace. Every now and then, a small explosion could be seen in the distance, signaling a well-executed strike on an enemy supply route.I exhaled slowly, satisfied with the unfolding plan. The Commandos were proving their worth, and soon, the Empire would realize that hunting down innocent refugees had come at an unforeseen cost.Elijah crossed her arms, glancing at me. “You know, with the rate things are going, it won’t be long before the Empire has to reconsider their actions.”“Oh, they’ll reconsider, alright,” I said, a sharp edge in my voice. “But by the time they do, they’ll have already lost too much to recover.”As we cont
I folded my arms, contemplating the next course of action. "We can’t let this turn into a full-scale war—not yet. Our priority is getting those people to safety. The Commandos are the best suited for this kind of engagement, but if they’re overwhelmed, we may need to deploy additional assets."Elijah nodded. "I already have aerial reconnaissance keeping track of the Hunters' movements. The issue is, they’re spreading out, making it difficult to predict where they’ll strike next. We need to coordinate a response that not only intercepts them but also ensures we don’t expose our involvement too soon."I smirked. "That means it’s time to play this smart. We use the terrain, our intelligence, and most importantly—our unpredictability. The Empire thinks they’re hunting defenseless refugees. Let’s turn the tables."Elijah grinned, already knowing where I was going with this. "I'll have the Commandos set up strategic ambush points along the expected routes. If we can strike fast and hard, we
“The situation in Battle Star Empire is escalating,” she announced, her voice carrying an unmistakable edge of intrigue.I picked up the documents and scanned through them quickly. What I read brought a slow, satisfied smile to my face.“Oh? Now this is interesting,” I mused, setting the papers down.Duke Oliver raised an eyebrow, intrigued by my reaction. “Something good?”“Something amusing,” I corrected. “It seems the great Battle Star Empire, with all its strength and military prowess, is facing an issue it never anticipated.”Jelina leaned forward, curiosity lighting up her features. “Do tell.”Elijah took over, her expression remaining composed but with a slight smirk tugging at her lips. “The mass exodus from Battle Star Empire is reaching unprecedented levels. The people—especially women, elderly, and laborers—are fleeing by the tens of thousands. They’re abandoning the empire in droves, crossing dangerous terrain, risking their lives just to get away.”I nodded, already pieci
