Their Imperial Majesties and Minor Princelings depart Etxea for Kasaema on Historic Visit

The first leg of Kalistan's Historic Visit to Kundrati has ended with a full tour of the Island of Etxea, Kundrati and a flight to the Mainland to take a tour of the nation. On Etxea, Their Imperial Majesties, Emperor Fredrick IV Ananto and Empress Jennifer I Ananto, accompanied to Etxea by His Highness, Minor Crown Prince William-David Martin Ananto-Connor and Minor Prince Mark-Henry Joseph Ananto-Connor, while Her Highness, Minor Princess Carolina-Katherine Michelle Ananto-Connor needed to stay home because she contracted influenza and was running a fever of over 100 before the family departed.

"Her Highness, the Minor Princess, remained in the care of her Aunt, Her Highness Princess Nicolette Ananto-Collins, Countess of Luxon, who is sitting with her at Cliff House in Kaliburg," said Lady Amber Dawson, as Spokeswoman for Their Imperial Majesties. "Her Parents, the Emperor and Empress have received regular updates on her condition, and all reports are that she is beginning recovery from the effects of the virus and her fever has broken, but she will recover over the next few days and will rejoin her family when they return to Kalistan on the 26th."

The Royal Family, as they arrived in Etxea, were met by Matěj Hulanevek, who, the Emperor reckoned, was likely his fourth Cousin by adoption, with the common ancestor being the Emperor's third Greats Grandfather, or Empress Pavlina's father. "I had the opportunity to meet Emperor Fredrick Ananto of Kalistan," said Mr. Hulanevek through a translator. "I told him it was my pleasure to make his acquaintance, to welcome him and his family to our nation and to ask him to make himself at home." Hulanevek is a local official in Jildrati City was the guest of honor to give the Royal Family the tour, and show them to their lodging. "We drove past many war memorials where the brave fighters of Etxea were remembered, along with fighters from Luthori and Kalistan," said Hulanevek. "The Emperor himself was moved, while the Empress explained to her sons about the war and the long emnity between our two nations." The family also saw the location of the former home belonging to the Anantos before the war, which is now the site of a highrise apartment complex that houses 65 families.

The royals remained in Etxea for three days, meeting with city planners and regional governing officials, who explained the needs of the Island. "The Kundratis made it clear that they have plenty of money coming into the country," said Lady Dawson. "What they really need is building materials for homes for the people, and things that are not essential, but will help the people live much better lives, infrastructure, internet capacity, and commercial facilities. All very expensive, but all things that Their Imperial Majesties had committed to helping provide." The stop on Etxea was very restful, and the people of the Island were very welcoming to the visiting Monarchs, who hold a special connection to the Island, and many bonds severed by a century of war and alienation began to be reforced.

Earlier this morning, Their Imperial Majesty and the Minor Princelings departed Etxea for the Mainland, and have landed safely in Kasaema. They requested Mr. Hulanevek to join them as they met with the new Kundrati President Alaiza Kubitchek. Their Imperial Majesties' Foreign Minister Mr. Henry Greene is expected to join them in discussions and on tour of the Mainland. The thought of Kalistani Monarchs stepping foot on Kundrati soil, unthinkable just 30 years ago, is now a reality. The Monarchs and the President, flanked by several members of her own Government greeted one another at the airport and were promptly escorted to their hotel. A State dinner is planned for this evening, followed by music and dancing, while tomorrow, high level meetings are planned and then a tour of the Capital City. The final day in Kundrati will consist of a tour of the countryside, another dinner with members of the Kundrati business community and then a flight home in the morning.

Weather, which was a bit of a problem on arrival, due to the lateness of the season and the onset of winter in the northern hemisphere, is expected to be fine throughout the nation these next few days, with temperatures in the low to mid 20s., with colder tems further inland, but no rain is expected for the visit.
