The Royal Government has released several images and details of the historic visit from His Highness, Crown Prince Fredrick Ananto-Collins from the Anantonese Empire to Altéa. The Crown Prince stopped in the royal capital as a part of his "world tour" as he is set to take the throne of the Anantonese Empire very soon. The Crown Prince's goal to "review" the empire's foreign policy was among his agenda as he landed in Altéa. He was received by the Royal Guard of Villamor at the royal family's private airport situated just east to the city. A large and heavily protected unit full of state vehicles and police were sent to bring the Crown Prince and the Princess to the heart of Altéa. Crown Prince Fredrick's first and most important stop was at the royal family's residence, Sorsuela Palace. The meeting between His Majesty, King Artemio and Crown Prince Fredrick occurred at the main hall of the palace--surrounded by crystal chandeliers, intricate golden details, and tall windows exposing the skyline of Altéa.

The two graciously met and delivered small gifts to one another. It is said that His Majesty gifted the Crown Prince a 3 carat, dark ruby stone from the Royal House's private collection. Whereas the Ananto's have the eye for gems and stones, the Montalivets covet gold above all else. Crown Prince Fredrick was then taken to the king's study: a large room with several mahogany furniture sets, lush couches, and marble workspaces to begin discussing a new future between the empire and Egelion. King Artemio spoke of new policies that will be implemented once the Crown Prince inherits the throne. One of the points of conversation was security in the Anantonese. When speaking of the topic of Meriath and Rildanor, King Artemio stated that while there may be mixed opinions on the matter Egelion took to achieve a democratic Meriath, the end result is necessary for security in the region. "Our goal is to make sure the Anantonese is free from foreign interference and fascists. What we're seeing with the Triad Republic and Vascania is extremely dangerous and malignant for security in our region. We are committed to keeping the Anatonese for Anantonese nations--in this effort we are both united", claimed King Artemio. "We are not enemies, we are not rivals, we have the same goals and the same vision for our region. We are prepared to see through."

The meeting at Sorsuela covered several talking points from security to cultural cooperation and economic advances. King Artemio agreed to keep in line with the Ocean Accords signed by King Romulo and Her Imperial Majesty years ago to continue the goodwill between the empire. The Crown Prince was happy to receive guarantees and a shared commitment to security in the Anantonese from King Artemio. "I believe our resolve and our cause are of the same fabric. We are family, we are committed to security above all else. Altéa will ensure that we hold up our guarantees to Kaliburg and we hope they can see that our ambitions do not cross paths with their concerns." stated His Majesty. The Crown Prince spoke with Queen and Tsarina, Anastasia before heading to the Royal Court. Talks were brief, but the Crown Prince hoped everything "in her home country would soon improve for the benefit of all Keris".
The Crown Prince was then taken to the Royal District where he gave a large speech to the Royal Court and the Royal Council. The Crown Prince's speech was televised throughout the continent, where he received a standing ovation by all members of the court. King Artemio walked up to the Crown Prince after his speech and stood with him at the golden podium for a moment. Upon leaving the royal court, King Artemio and the Crown Prince had another conversation at El Capitolio with the Royal Council. According to details, they both spoke of military cooperation in the region for future dates and a commitment to keeping strong ties between House Ananto and House Montalivet. The Crown Prince and Princes were taken back to the private airport to continue their journey. The Crown Prince left Altéa with a strong, informal alliance with Egelion and a commitment of security on behalf of King Artemio.
