After the official trip of Princess of the Kalistani Empire Mary Ananto-DeLaurentis and the nation's foreign minister Thomas Harney to Dolgava and Hutori, a visit was arranged on their way home to spend a few days in Valruzia and deal with further negotiations first started when the Valruzian President travelled to Kaliburg.

Received by President Urszula Pawlik, both were taken in a tour to Nowogard, a city that Princess Mary already knew from her previous trips to the nation but that was not so known to the Kalistani's foreign minister as this was his first trip to the Seleyan nation as foreign minister. They were toured through the main national symbols, including the Valruzian Sejm, the Presidential palace and the Valruzian National Museum, were they were joined by 89-year-old former Chancellor Szymon Nowik, a longtime friend of Empress Mary who wished to be present.

"It is always a delight to have Empress Mary here in Valruzia" said Chancellor Nowik "We have much to talk and discuss, both formally and informally". The Princess also took the moment to personally offer her condolences for the passing of Nowik's husband, Mateusz Gawryś, last week.

The next day, both were taken to Szary Kamien, in Kampania, where one of the factories of the new VS fighter planes is located, so they had a chance to personally oversee how the project works and how far it is already. The Marshall of Kampania, KPW's Ernest Ras, also attended the visit. Afterwards, and as a surprise, President Urszula Pawlik took both to Gryfitow, in southern Valruzia, using the new high-speed Valruzian rails whose works have just been finished a couple of years ago after decades of construction and renovation. There, the Valruzian President presented the Princess with a gift for the Empress in Waiting when she turns 18, an ancient palace off the Gryfit coast lent to her and her descendants personally for the span of 99 years, after which the Valruzian Sejm would have to vote on whether or not to extend the donation. As per Valruzian law, the Palace, named Kulka-Kozyra Palace (Pałac Kulka-Kozyra) shall not be used for official Kalistani political meetings or events with third countries, only as a leisure retirement for the Kalistani imperial family or for meetings with Valruzian officials, and shall not be considered Kalistani soil but Valruzian, therefore having Valruzian law applied over it, but workers in the palace must be of Kalistani chosing and appointment.

"This surprise gift is for the soon-to-be new Empress of Kalistan, as to contribute to the good willingness of our two nations and for the desire of even closer ties" said President Pawlik. "I'm sure the Empress in waiting will love to spend some summer and winter days in it, in the goalden coast of our beautiful Gryfitow."

Back to Nowogard and before their departure, President Pawlik and Chancellor Nowik again toured both Kalistani officials through the main site of Nova Pharma, Valruzia's pharmaceutical flagship company where Nowik serves as honorary president, and were afterwards accompained to the Nowogard airport to fly back home.
