November 5595 (backdated)

Fort William, Luthori - The Luthorian Prime Minister addressed Parliament today during a session of Prime Ministers' Questions. As usual, the Head of Government answered to the questions and concerns of lawmakers and exchanged in a fiery debate with the Leader of the Opposition, George McBride over the question of Luthori's trade interests and his Government's overall policies and standing in today's Luthori. The Opposition calling the Government's long hold on power to be quite "anti-democratic", in the sense that the Prime Minister's long term in Office, alongside most of its government colleagues and the Coalition, prevented the rise of younger politicians when the Prime Minister himself became older and older through the years.

The Prime Minister didn't answer to these criticd, stating that ever since their appointment in 5585, the Cabinet had continued its mission of protecting and leading the Luthorian people towards a new age dominated by stability. The Leader of the Opposition criticized that point of view by stating that if m the Beluzair crash was how the Government was "protecting" its citizens. After a long hour of Q/A between the two men, the Prime Minister, upon request from the Speaker of the Senate, stated some words on HIH, Princess Alice's marriage to King Amadeo of Egelion.

He stated that the Imperial Government "congratulated" the two's wedding and pledges an "increased" collaboration between Luthori and Egelion now that the two royal families, yet, he also confirmed the likeliness of Queen Alice losing her place in the Luthorian Line of Succession, as she married a Egelian Patriarchal, which is stricly forbbiden to avoid any issues with the Sovereign's status as the "Defender of the Faith" and Supreme Governor of the Luthorian Church. Regardless of that, Parliament passed an Motion congratulating the two on their 1 year anniversary of their marriage.

Meanwhile, HM, the Empress released a Letter Patent towards the King of Egelion, gifting him as a marriage present with both a title and residences in Luthori. The Empress gifted the King with the title of "Duke of Lichfield" to be also hereditary. With that title, the King wins the Lichfield Estate, a large mansion in Luthori's countryside, close to Rottingham Palace, in the Grand Duchy of Erneshire. Other than that, the King was also given, for him and his family, property over the Maximillian Manor in the beaches of Middenriding, close to the Artanian Sea. Finally, he was given the title of "Commander" of the Order of the Purple Pearl, Luthori's chivalric order headed by the Knight Marshal, the Luthorian Monarch.

The Luthorian Prime Minister also stated his willingness to make a state visit to Egelion to look towards "increased economic and even military ties" due to this marriage.
