Egelion

Protests have erupted all over Egelion as news continues to develop from Nadiya about the house arrest and trial of Her Majesty, Queen and Tsarina Anastasia Alexanderovna. For the past week, King Artemio and his closest palace advisors left to the family's residence in Nadiya, the Winter Palace, to organize a strong response to the Nadiyan arrest of the Tsarina. King Artemio has spoken to the Royal Council to discuss ways forward and how to negotiate with Nadiya. King Artemio has stated that the Queen of Egelion "needed to be released immediately." The IEI recently investigated part of the evidence provided by the Nadiyan legislature when the case was announced and found that the Tsarina had no direct connection to the corruption itself.

"Yes, there may have been some incorrect decision made by Nadiyan workers associated with the Tsarina, but she was not directly involved", said Geraldo Torres, representative from Villamor Palace to King Artemio. "Why is the Tsarina and the Queen of Egelion--mother of our nation, being arrested and held accountable by the acts of others?! This is a direct insult to the laws of Altea, the people of Egelion, and to the divine reality of God himself!"

Royal Councilor Mondragon II, who oversees international relations, stated that there must be an immediate release of the Queen immediately before relations are ended between both nations. "We built for Nadiya, we invested in Nadiya, and we believed in the future of Nadiya. The Queen herself toured schools and different cities to support the well-being of the Nadiyan people. This is how she is repaid? Is this how Terra treats its royals?!"

The IDE has threatened to cut off all ties with Nadiya, embargo the nation, and even threaten military action against Nadiya. All of the options are currently on the table. "This is simple. The Nadiyan government has actively arrested the Queen of Egelion. While we respect the Nadiyan process, this is no way to treat divinity nor a way to conduct external affairs." The Real Academia has already decided to pull resources from several Nadiyan schools and many banks, such as Cascabel-Otienda, have decided to pull back resources from Nadiya until the Tsarina could be cleared. "This is a matter of principle. We cannot tolerate Her Majesty to be treated like the average thug. Altea requests for the Queen to be released and for the return of normalcy, immediately", said Royal councilor Mondragon II.
