Chapter 229 Danish Inheritance
A suitable heir to the throne of the Kingdom of Denmark can also be found in Norway, but because Germany and Denmark have become closer and closer in recent years, and because Denmark's domestic foreign policy is also trying to draw closer to Germany, Norway is not willing to listen to the instigation of Britain and establish a royal power in Copenhagen, next to Berlin. Britain's purpose is nothing more than to stir up discord in Europe, and its approach is simply to push people into the fire pit. As a result, Britain's actions behind the scenes also caused a deep rift in the relationship between Norway and Britain.
With no competitors, things were much easier, and Augustus II only had to choose a direct descendant to be crowned in Denmark.
However, this matter was not simple, only three of the three descendants were male, and Denmark did not have a law for women to inherit the throne, and the former Hohenzollern dynasty William III was undoubtedly abandoned because he had no heirs for the time being, and he himself did not have a family lineage.
Now, Augustus III, the only one with his lineage, was reluctant to go to Denmark to claim the throne, so all eyes were finally focused on Augustus III's daughter, Dinah Eugene Hirna Adrian, the wife of Eric Adrian, the current president of the German Federal States.
After marrying Eric Adrian, the two gave birth to Helis Eugene Augustus Ferdinand Hanover Hirna Adrian. This long list of names itself represents the noble lineage of Helis, and of course, the surname of their son Helis Eugene Hilna is also inherited from the maternal line. As a result, Helis naturally became the most suitable and legitimate candidate for the Danish king, and successfully obtained this noble position.
In fact, if Norway had not given up the opportunity to fight for the succession to the throne, Helis, the son of Dinah Eugene Hilna Adrian, would not have had a chance to be crowned king, because there was still a long queue of heirs to the throne who were more pure than him, and even the Habsburgs, who had fallen into obscurity, could choose a few close relatives of the Hirna dynasty.
When the news of the elected son Helis going to Denmark to claim the throne reached Eric's ears, he could no longer refute it, after all, he was only half-married to Dinah, and the inheritance was not up to Eric, he could only be forced to accept it.
It was not a bad thing for him that Helis had succeeded to the king of Denmark, and he was happy to see it happen to the German Confederation, and he could even provide all the power of his son if necessary. It's just that the succession to the throne doesn't seem to be accepted by the British, and don't forget that the Augustan family and the Victorian royal family also have a history of marriage for more than 100 years, although the two cannot be directly linked, but their blood relationship cannot be underestimated.
As a last resort, Augustus II's original idea of becoming regent himself had to be abandoned, and Denmark could not have three regent at once. They were the King of Norway, the King of England, and Augustus II.
Little Helis eventually became king of Denmark.
On 7 October, a grand farewell ceremony took place in Hanover, in which Eric was in attendance, as a father and not as president of the Federal Republic of Germany, in keeping with the current German law.
Although there are official legal provisions and the federal reform has replaced the crown in Germany, it does not exclude inheritance rights and status abroad. The people did not care much more about such a bill, and it was a great honor for the Germans to be able to go to another country to inherit the throne.
Because there was a vacuum on the throne of Denmark, the country could not be left without an owner for a day, so the preparation time for the farewell ceremony was very urgent. Despite this, the preparations were still very thorough, and many of Germany's current high-ranking generals rushed to the grand farewell ceremony, especially those who had been carried directly by Eric. In fact, everyone knows that this face was sold to President Eric, and even more so to the potential stocks behind it.
In the brightly lit castle, little Helis is carefully tended by a group of maids, and Dinah, as a mother, has been pointing around, but still not very satisfied.
Eric stood silently aside, not knowing whether he was happy or worried, and his heart was reluctant, although he was also proud that his son could go to Denmark to be crowned king, however, it would be difficult for their father and son to see each other, and even if they said goodbye, it would only be in the political arena. Thinking of this, Eric couldn't help but feel more quietly sad in his heart.
Dinah is even more so, although she did not reject her grandfather, but, until this time today, she has not been relieved from the sadness of parting. I am particularly reluctant, after all, my child is only two years old.
"Dinah, come to me." Eric greeted his wife in an extremely gentle tone.
Dinah turned her back to Eric, but her body twitched. Eric was very sad in his heart, and he also deeply understood his wife's mood at this moment, and immediately hugged Dinah in his arms with both hands, and the two hugged each other and cried, not caring about the eyes of others or the more than 2-year-old son in front of him. There was no melancholy look on Helis's innocent face that he was about to leave his parents, he was too young, too young to even have the least emotion yet to be generated.
"My dear, why don't you accompany your son, and I will leave the company's affairs to others to help take care of them." Eric comforts Dinah and doesn't want her to snub her children because of her career.
"Can I go?" When Dinah heard what Eric said, her first thought was not about the group's business, but because she was worried that Eric was joking on her.
"Of course you can be dear, I just found a good candidate, you can rest assured to accompany our children. You have to watch him grow up every day and watch him govern the country. As for me, I'll also take the time to accompany you, what do you think? Eric looked at Helis and Dinah with a smile on his face, and the two people in front of him were his whole world and everything in his life.
"Honey, it would be great if it could be like that." Dinah jumped up happily, then blushed and leaned on Eric's shoulder and said embarrassedly: "It's just that I'm sorry for you, my son and I went to distant Denmark, but we left you here alone." ”
"It's okay dear, I have a lot of vacations, besides, this position of president is not a long-term 'business' after all, one day I will retire, and I will spend a lot of time with you in the future. Before retiring, I also need to devote myself to my work, lest the Chinese people say that I am not responsible enough. Eric stroked the hair on Dinah's forehead and said with the tenderness of a husband.
"Then it's decided! My dear, it's just that I have to interview for my successor in person, and it will take some time for the handover to take place. Dinah is very happy now, she thought that life and death would end up, but her husband's words were resolved.
Being able to leave behind all state and family affairs to accompany her children and watch them grow up, Eric is like the perfect gift from God to Dinah, always following her heart's desires at critical moments, and she is deeply grateful to her husband from the bottom of her heart.
"Okay, dear, hurry up and help our son dress up, the king should have the appearance of a king. Also, don't always worry about a face, it's easy to get wrinkles. Eric pinched Dinah's nose and joked with a smile.
"How do you know that your face is prone to wrinkles?" Dinah looked at her husband with some confusion.
"Isn't that common sense?" Eric replied speechlessly, he didn't expect such a thing to be asked rhetorically.
"How did I not know that there was such common sense? By the way, I heard that you went out with Ananta yesterday to run errands, and you had a little misunderstanding, what's going on? Dinah asked casually, as if suddenly remembering something.
"Damn, there was a little misunderstanding? Who said this to you. Eric suddenly felt a little frightened in his heart, because Dinah's appearance, although harmless to humans and animals, was very jealous.
"Do you still need someone else to tell me? Our company's recruitment office is also located on the 4th floor, my Mr. President. Dinah reminded.
Eric was speechless for a moment, and he basically spent more than a year on government affairs, forgetting that he also had a recruitment room on the 4th floor this time.
"I'm just going to ......," Eric said when he was interrupted by a gesture from Dinah.
"My dear, I don't care what you do out there, but I believe in my husband." Dinah's words directly made Eric's face red.
Instead of continuing to defend himself, Eric walked gently to his son Helis's side, wanting to take a few more looks. At this time, just in front of his son's gaze, those cute big eyes directly melted Eric's heart.
Helis is his first lovely child, and Eric never doubts the solidity of this relationship, even at the ends of the earth, blood is thicker than water.
"Son, kiss one." Eric crouched down and put his face to Hairis's mouth and said with a smile.
"No, I want my mom to hug me." Helis didn't buy Eric at all, and the baby's fat little hand was raised straight at Dinah.
Eric looked a little embarrassed and deliberately pretended to be fierce and looked at Halis, who ignored him at all.
"Stinky boy, don't kiss me, I won't let you go out to play." Eric said deliberately angrily, pretending to get up and walk away. Of course, Dinah wanted Helis to be close to her father, so she didn't rush to pick him up.
Not knowing if it was Eric's "threat" that worked, or if it was Dinah who didn't pick him up, Helis still impatiently kissed his father Eric on the cheek.
"Hey, good boy, I'm pretty impatient." Eric is unforgiving in his mouth, but in fact, he is already happy in his heart.
"Knock knock—"
There were a few soft knocks on the door outside, and then Hans Luther appeared at the door: "Dear Mr. President, Mr. Gustav von Trysemann has a phone call, saying that it is urgent. ”
Eric looked affectionately at his wife, Dinah, who gave a reassuring look.
"Stinky boy, oh! Wrong! It should be Your Majesty the King, obediently listen to your mother's words. After saying that, Eric strode out of the gate with mixed feelings, and this may be a helpless choice between his career and his family.
