Princess Katsura Eun-kyung, 3rd in line to the Dankukin Throne Speaks outOctober 10th 4457, Wiel, Vanuku
Princess sits down for Interview with VNN
Princess Katsura Eun-kyung, Granddaughter of Empress Taeyang Tam-hee, Third in line to the throne, and wife of Ishida no Yasutoru, has agreed to a rare interview with VNN. While the Princess has largely remained politically inactive attending to her family needs and serving as a beacon of Dankukin Culture abroad, recent events in Dankuk have caused the Princess to speak out, publically condemning the "self serving lies promoted by certain ambitious politicians" in Dankuk against her family and the
culture-vandalizing actions of certain factions in Dankuk.
Princess Katsura arrived in Vanuku in 4453 as part of an Imperial Cultural promotion and has spent a good deal of time studying in Vanuku, and has become quite a sensation, especially given her singing abilities. The following is the exclusive interview from VNN.
What have you got out of your visit to Vanuku both personally and for your country?
Travelling to Vanuku has been a great learning experience as I have had opportunity to learn much about the world and how others live and deal with the situations that come up in their lives. I am the first in my family in a long time to actually visit another nation outside the Dovani area. The last members of my family who visited another nation was Distant Uncle Yeong Tae Kyo who spent time in Yingdala as an espionage agent over 100 years ago before he became Yeonguijeong, and my ancestor Taeyang Sang-ah who traveled to places as far away fron Dankuk as Hawu Mumenhes and Jelbania, to places as nearby as Kazulia. With my visit to the Great Power of Vanuku, it was expected that it would promote Dankuk's indigenous culture to the wider world.
Highlight of the trip?
I have met many people throughout Vanuku and it is quite interesting meeting so many different people of different backgrounds. They all have great stories to tell and it is wonderful hearing so many new perspectives on things. Back home in Dankuk, most people are Kyo or have Kyo ancestry and so there is not as much cultural diversity.
Would you consider recording a song with FatMan Vrzkel? Yes. It would be an honour to work with him
What is happening in your country and how has the change of government affected things? From what my colleagues in Nine Tail Agency have informed me, a Draddwyr and Westernizing movement have ransacked the capital and seized control of the government with possible foreign support from Yingdala and Lourenne. Many people who were loyal to the government have had to leave because of the situation. I myself will likely not be able to return home or see my mother and grandmother for quite some time, perhaps never again due to the security situation in Dovani. This saddens my husband and I greatly as we grew up in Dovani and when I was a child I used to play in the Imperial Gardens of the Palace in the capital. My husband remembers visiting the palace and being awe-inspired and got lost in part of the complex. I had to go help him find his way around! [Laughs] Today I see the places I grew up with have been ransacked by uncultured Migaehamin(barbarians). I remember walking those same avenues which were lined with trees and traditional shops in all directions, all in fengshui rules. Today I saw some of those shops looted and destroyed. [Sigh]
My husband has some connections with the Imperial Government of Sekowo, so he could maybe secure some passage there where the rest of my family have gathered, but my attaches insist that travel is too dangerous at this time for me, and my husband would never go without me so he's going to remain here as well. It's very sweet of him.
Why have the royal family and many others had to abandon Dankuk for Sekowo?
From what my colleagues in Nine Tail Agency have said, the situation was becoming quite precarious and dangerous for my family, and a plan was put into action to evacuate if the situation became more dire. As we both know it eventually did with the Federalists and their Draddwyr allies overthrowing my grandmother's government and ransacking the capital. Luckily my family got out there intact and have been granted asylum by Government in Sekowo.
What does the future hold and what role do you think Vanuku should be playing in Dankuk? Well I shall commit myself to my family and career here in Vanuku, I have made many friends here in Vanuku and so it's almost like another home for me. I am glad that Uncle Lee is here in Vanuku, he's not really my uncle but everyone I knew called him that for his endearing way of treating us and we've always been close since I was a child. It's always fun hearing his theories on meteorology. Considering the barbaric way the Federation regime is conducting its affairs already, and fact it is already aligning itself with forces historically hostile to Dankuk and Vanuku I think it be best that the International Community treat them as persona non-grata. In recent news, the Federation regime is closing the base in Reunni which the Vanukean government has been operating for years and applying to enter the Northern Council, which historically has been norhing more than a front for Kazulian and Lourennais Dominationism over other sovereign states. I fear that this will be end of Dankuk's sovereignty(Jegugwon) and independence. Regarding my personal life in will likely work with my husband to raise our children to be true to Dankuk-spirit. My family will work with Yeong Yoon Jin Harmony and Peace Foundation to preserve Dankukin Culture for everyone to enjoy, and perhaps one day, the Sun will rise again over Dankuk.
Taeyang Electric Power Company sets up new Headquarters in WielOctober 10th 4457, Wiel, Vanuku
New Headquarters of the Massive Company
With the mass sell off of its assets in Dankuk estimated to be about 730 Billion DRA(873 Billion VAN), Taeyang Electric has used the money to buy up areas of trade elsewhere in the world, and particularly setting up shop in Vanuku, who have extensive deals and contracts with the Dankukin Company. It is expected the company will start producing many of the cyclic-compression engines in various Vanukean Vehicles in conjunction with local Vanukean companies and many companies are eager to contract with the Company to obtain exclusive access to the trading secrets of the Multinational. The local leaders of the Hwangje clan are expected to be highly involved in the company's ventures in the future.
