Egelion

Spring semesters at the University of Norterra can be quite stressful. As the nation's most prestigious educational institutions, academics can be quite difficult. Yet, nobody could prepare for the scenes that would unfold on campus eight weeks into the semester. Yesterday evening, several news agencies reported that Prince Artemio, the Crown Prince of Egelion and Caille, was seen studying and "comfortable lounging" with foreign student Alexanderova Anastasia of Rotherigren-Traugott-Ludvig--better known as a Princess of Nadiya and Old Trigunia. An heir apparent Tsarina. Many would have believed that the deposed Tsardom would not make a comeback, but it appears that the families and descendants of old Trigunia continue to exist. The Princess came to Egelion to complete her studies, per sources from Nadiya. Nobody however would have expected her to be close to the Prince of Amateria, who is the same age as the Nadiyan Princess. Both royals, if sources are correct, attended La Academia Real de Altiflor San Mares in Altea, which remains the go-to destination for elite families. This would mean that the Prince of Amateria and the Princess have known each other for five years. Now, both enrolled at the University of Norterra, they appeared to have caught the attention of thousands, as their relationship could bring significant changes.

After photos were taken of them at Norterra, the Royal Court was questioned by reporters at the daily press conference at El Capitolio. At the conference, High Councilor Formoselle-Castilla II answered questions on behalf of the royal family. The High Councilor stated that King Romulo and Queen Alicia "know little" about the supposed platonic relationship between the Prince of Amateria and Princess Alexanderova Anastasia. If there was of course more details of a more "significant relationship" between the two young royals, the Palace of Sorsuela would make that information known to the nation. Sources say that even though it seems the royals are quite close, they are in fact not in a relationship. Students at the University of Norterra have claimed that the two appear to be "competitive studying partners" but nothing more than that. Others say that the two often blush and joke consistently with each other, but they remain small moments. Regardless of what the future holds for the young royals, one cannot fail to speculate the political opportunities and geopolitical dynamism that would be created should the two students consider to make their relationship more "serious".
