Episode 69

"So you were saying that, they look interesting that's why you give them your ring?..I'm sorry sir but that was just too random…but still for Elven Tree Watcher to come into Human territory…are they wagging a war?..". (Elijah)

"I don't know…but it's kinda interesting to see where this is going…..oh right, is the Duchess Confessions going well?..".

"It is…it cause quite a stir yesterday..Sebastian said, the public has begun to sway from the church…they avoid, and try to questions church….the only reasons why there's still people in the church was because of their healing business..". (Elijah)

"Hmmm…then continue with the pressure, also make sure Paul announce the news as usual, and have the Duchess to reassure her husband territory by saying that Duke army already hunting the bandits…it's better that they heard from their own people after all..".

"i would make sure to write her a new script…by the way, Duchess seems to be quite addicted to New City, she even considering buying  the new Pent House in the Residential district…". (Elijah)

"As long as she followed our law, why not…also make sure to fully prepared our soldier before you launch an assault on the Principality of light..we need to weaken them…".

"Understood sir..". (Elijah)

Elijah leave the my office as we done discussing the important matter, for now the plan was going well as I planned. The only threat in Northern Hallerus left was from the King himself, which thanks to my Radio program, it has been quelled for at least a few months, also at the very least Duke Merrica can handle it himself. After 1 week, the attack on Principality of light will be launched. At first I wanted to use the Coalitions of Bandits as the main perpetrator for the attacks, but I got a changed of heart after last night. Inside Baron Legro personal collection's I found a book called 'Hatred of The Dead' it's a necromicon, a tome of necromancer that teaches how to dwell in the art of necromancy.

In Hatred of the Dead, the books teaches how to perform and make all sort of undead monsters, I planning to make and undead army for the assault and use that to weaken the Holy city, wont it be funny and utterly humiliating if undeads sprawled inside the holy land. I've decided to make the 'abomination' a level 5 Undeads that can infect and undead curse on anything that dead and resurrected them to be part of it's army, though abominations wasn't really a strong monster, but the curse it had was quite troublesome for any normal person to handle it. As for the corrupt Church, with how lax and messy their system are, reacting to such unprecedented disaster would be chaotic situations.

Abominations main materials was 10 skull of tainted pious man, 20 heart and 300 pounds of flesh from the dead. To me finding all the ingredients wasn't really a hard things to do, but performing the ritual was hard, as I don't have even an ounce of mana in me, that's when Elijah comes in, she's agreed to follow my plan, Elijah was the most talented Magician I've ever seen, she could spam a high level spell with no incantations, which apparently was a hard thing to do. The plan was my army first attack the fort and settlement inside the principality as a bandits, then after they leave the Abominations will comes out and started infecting people, then at the same time news will be played at the radio flaming the crowd with infectious and exaggerated news aiming at the church and garnered the crowds hatred and rage, and of course after the Aeternum Army/me will swoop in 'Vanquishing' the undead horde and claim the fame.

The plan got a villainous vibe to it, but this had to be done. The Church are clearly searching for Aeternum, beside not only the church itself were all racist and evil so is their fanatical citizen. right now i have the chance and means to act, and i will, i'm not the kind who wait because they don't want to kill an innocent lives, i rather kill hundred of other nation citizen then watched my people die. This undead uprising need's to happen, the Church had to be weaken for Aeternum to prosper, it's as simple as that.

[Sometimes I wondered if you coming here was a good thing or not…anyway when are you going back to earth?..]. (T.A.S)

"Of course me being in fantasma was a good thing…for me at least...why are you asking me that?..".

[I'm just bored you know…I want to surf internet..buying stocks was kinda fun you know…by the way, don't yo think buying the cars and technology stuff from earth and brought it here was kinda boring?..]. (T.A.S)

"What do you mean?..".

[Well you know, I think you should improvise the stuff you bought from earth..changed the design, probably modified them so they suit's Aeternum….won't that actually made your Utopia looks more Utopia'ish'..]. (T.A.S)

"....Now that I thought about it..that's kinda feels interesting...there's all kind of designer on earth, I think I will give it a shot….well I got money now… should've spend it around right?..".

I was thinking about it for awhile but decided to set it aside as I thought it was useless and wasting time. But now that I've got some capacity to do so, why not do it the R&D department now has only being researching the slimes and enchantments, I don't think of having them more stuff to do would be difficult. I was thinking of making a new aircraft for my aero port, right now the only thing that park in there was my 5 Helicopter, I need a fantasy like aircraft that won't stand out to much in Fantasma but still a marvel to look at.

[I suggest a balloon Aircraft..in the Ancient there's an air transport called Zeplin, though it was slow as a turtle in the sky..using only use magic to propelled itself, but combining the modern technology and magic will surely changed that..]. (T.A.S)

"you're right, this is kinda fun…let's do it when we're back on earth..".

"It's was a hell for me in that 4 years…..thankfully my Husband, Lord Duke Merrica was always there, with his care and love..I managed to overcome the whole hellish ordeal..". (Duchess Marriane)

"Surely it was a sad story..but I guess Duke Merrica was a great husband, what a luck to have him as your husband and the lord of northenrn Hallerus..Anyway that's all for today 'an Afternoon with Lady Duchess Marriane" we will right back after this commercial with the song 'Beautiful Life'...….Good work Duchess, we receive so many comment supporting you and duke…looks like the world now have another celebrities..". (Paul)

"I just telling the truths..thank you for giving me the chance to speak about this horrible experience of mine here…then I should take my leave now..". (Duchess Marriane)

As always the Elegant Duchess left the broadcasting center at 3:00 pm, but today was her last broadcast, after several exchange of handshake and polite courtesy, Duchess left the building and her first trip was the New City Commercial District famous restaurant Food Palace, the place not only offer a multitude range of delicious dishes but also a classy spot to dine. Duchess Marriane has been indulging in the new kind of lifestyle in New City Aeternum and she was enjoying it. Aeternum was filled with polite and classy people, the views of modern and multicultural was never once being dreamed was possible to happen.

Though the cost of living in Aeternum were higher than anywhere she ever set foot in, the quality of everything in it was different it was out of every places league. Recently Duchess Marriane had to sent out her knight to Merrina town to retrieve some gold coins from her husband. She not only bought a pent house, but also bought a new luxury sedan car, which of course she had to send another one of her knights to the driving school to learn how to drive. She already spent more than hundred thousand gold to stay here, which she had never done before.

"My Lady, the new Lady Elijah Winter collections already being released…they send us the invitations should we go?..". (Maid)

Whilst they were enjoying their lunches, her maid told her the latest news, Aeternum always had a gala night called 'fashion shows' whenever there's a new clothing were released by the most famous clothing shop The Angel Garden, their gala nights was an all time popular, everyone from all Aeternum would gather at the Commercial District at the 'Memoir Museum' for it, all of the attendee would wear fashionable clothes, and what's even more interesting was there's all kind of people and activities to do there. Duchess and her entourage has seen gala nights were held, they were more than tempted to be there.

"Ermm…they already went out of their way to invite us..we should go….but what are we going to wear?..". (Duchess Marriane)

"We could wear the clothes we buy 2 days ago..that Rafaela Collections…should we?.". (Maid)

"Didn't The Angel Garden released another new dress after that?…they did right?…..aren't we going to look outdated if wear that?…". (Duchess Marriane)

Duchess Marriane already become an Aeternum social circle addict, the modern life in here has turned her. She was more concerned of how she looks rather than who she was, because in Aeternum noble or not everyone was fashionable and beautiful, even more than any noble in the continent. Right now she was more concerned about how she would appeared in Aeternum rather than how she would look outside.
