Egelion

[Louis]

After disastrous results of the meeting between Xsampa and Amudim, King Artemio has personally summoned the Xsampan ambassador to Villamor Palace to discuss the "tremendous and unacceptable failure of Egelian-Dovanian relations". Royal Councilor Mondragon II and the entire IDE staff were present at Villamor Palace to meet with the ambassador and begin to discuss the inner details of the meeting. According to palace staff, entire regiments of the palace guard were present to receive the ambassador as details of this meeting were highly confidential. Royal Councilor Mondragon II was furious upon arrival at Villamor. sources say he was innudated in phone calls from several officials regarding the conference.
As the ambassador arrived and got situated at Villamor, members of the IDE spoke to the press about the entire situation. the press got so much attention that the Royal Councilor himself went out to speak to he press before entering their own negotiations. 

I think it is clearly evident that Amudim and the Triad Republic have taken advantage of a good-willed nation in the name of peace. We spoke previously with Metz-Leonid about the potential risks of doing business with Majatrans let alone Artanians, but it seems national pride and futile land was more important than the integrity of Pan-Dovanianism and their closest friends. We surely understand the consequences that result from this deal and Altea will respond.

Royal Councilor Mondragon II did state that Egelion would come into negotiations with Xsampa before all ties were cut. For centuries, the Lion-Yak Pact has stood strong. Bound to each other by a strong sense of cooperation and collective strength, the pact now stands close to being shattered all for the pride of the current administration. IDE members were as furious as the Royal Councilor, some stating that:

"We fear scientists and health experts must be sent to Metz-Leonid immediately. We fear the adverse effects of the nuclear strike may still be affecting its population's decision making process.

Experts at the Real Academia have tried to look at this through a political lens. their conclusion is as follows: "While Xsampa has the ultimate, sovereign right to engage in whatever deals it pleases, they have forfeited their virtues of Pan-Dovanianism and cooperation that gave them their influence in the first place. They have lost the trust of their allies and the trust of their people. The movement is now dead. For a sliver of land and lost national pride, Xsampa has effectively given up their influence in Dovani and the trust of her allies. While their deal with the West may have been a moment of self-strength and moving on from the sins of the past, in the process, Xsampa engaged without the consultation of her allies and in the process put a complete halt to all of its progress.

The Altea-Nord Stock Engage has posted several negative results as the market closed. The Egelian Crown has suffered a bit as confidence with Majatran markets and the Triad Republic show no confidence. "We simply do not know what this will mean for our economy or our companies. We invested a lot into Xsampa and its people. For us this remains a diplomatic and economic betrayal that we will not forget", states an ANSE trade broker. Details of the conference and of an Xsampan response are yet to be seen. King Artemio is set to personally lead negotiations to hold firm Altea's demands and their position.
