STRAINED RELATIONS BETWEEN LAURELIAN AND NSE CONTINUE AFTER 3-DAY VISIT FROM EMPEROR SAMMICH

Laurelian- Emperor Sammich arrived in Portsmouth, Laurelian late afternoon on January 6th - seven hours after his expected arrival time of 10 a.m. As per the Emperor's request, the Laurelii greeting party that was meant to receive him and his entourage had prepared a lavish 9-course brunch complete with NSE-traded ingredients, served on NSE artisan dinnerware. Due to Laurelian's strict anti-slavery law, the meal could not be served by NSE indentured servants. After several hours of waiting, the meal, with an estimated cost of about $8,000, was packaged and shipped to the Laurelian consulate at Riverwood for serving to Riverwood's homeless.
The Emperor's eventual arrival was met with little fanfare but a heavy Laurelian Peacekeeper presence. Rumors of a kidnapping scheme had been circulating after Emperor Sammich accused the Laurelian Kiinthira of "hiding" the five Caffan legislators who are now considered enemies of the state to the NSE for the role they played in the recent explosive news of Caffa's vote for secession from the Empire.
Emperor Sammich spent most of the approximate 72 hours in Laurelian meeting with different members of the Kiinthira and demanding an audience with Mathaana Semmelani. Mathaana Semmelani was unable to meet with the Emperor during his stay, sending only her deepest regrets. Each day ended with frustration for the Emperor as the Kiinthira remained neutral and unhelpful in giving any information as to the whereabouts of the 5 Caffan legislators he sought to extradite back to the NSE.
Press Secretary to the Kiinthira, Noviem Ildies had little to say about the visit:
Yes, he was here. Yes, it was trying. No, nothing was accomplished. And, in probably unrelated news, I could be wrong, we are asking for any information on the whereabouts of a jewel-encrusted diadem which was kept in the offices of the Kiinthira building that has, very recently, gone missing.
