Manturov took Katya by the hand, walked into the cafeteria, and lined up to receive breakfast. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As he expected, almost everyone had a special reaction when they saw the relationship between the two of them.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Katya's face began to flush. She took Manturov's hand and said, "Volodya, I knew I would come in separately from you." Now that the two of us are in the spotlight, don't you feel a little uncomfortable? ”

"Afraid of what? We're going to get married anyway. Just let the family say enough. Manturov said with a smile.

As mentioned earlier, Manturov doesn't really feel like he's in the spotlight and doesn't want to attract too much attention. But this time, he wants not only to attract attention, but also to let the world know about his relationship with Katia. In the words of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it is to declare sovereignty.

Katya's face grew redder, comparable to the Astrakhan apple. "But...... That's not good. ”

Manturov suddenly thought of a phrase from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "Why is it bad? I want the whole state to know that you, Katya Manturovna, are my sister-in-law of Villadimo Manturov, and that I have indisputable sovereignty over you. ”

Katia kissed Manturov in public and said, "Okay." From now on, no one can threaten your sovereignty. I'm your sister, you're my man. This fact will never change. ”

"Good."

At this time, the person in charge of the catering spoke. "Comrade Voroshilova, may I ask if there are more vegetables and less meat?"

"That's right, more vegetables and less meat. By the way, comrade, I will also correct it, I will change my surname to Manturovna now, and I will not be called 'Comrade Voroshilova' in the future. Katia said firmly.

The man who prepared the meal looked at Manturov with strange eyes and said: "Volodya, you are so good!" How did you get it so quickly? ”

"Don't talk nonsense! Where's my breakfast? Order more, less meat, and a cup of black tea, and remember to add honey. Manturov pointed to Katya and continued to say to the people who served the meal: "I don't want caviar, my quota is all for Katyusha, understand?" ”

"Yes! Got it! ”

After receiving the meal, Katia followed Manturov and sat down in the most prominent position in the middle. Usually, Manturov does not sit there, but only sits in the most remote and least crowded position, and eats in a low-key manner. But this time, in order to assert sovereignty, anything he did that day seemed unusually high-profile.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the cafeteria, Anna was sitting alone, sitting in the most remote place, eating in a low-key manner. Originally, she wanted to sit with Katia and the others, but when she saw Katya's uncomfortable expression, she changed her mind and withdrew to the border.

Soon after, a man wearing a uniform of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and a height of 1.75 meters walked over. "Comrade Romanova, would you mind having a meal with me?"

Anna looked each other up and down and said, "Who are you?" ”

"My name is Yakov, Major of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and my surname, first name, and patronymic are the same. I have a very important thing to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Yakov carefully put down his plate, his eyes scanning his surroundings. Seeing that there was no one nearby, he was willing to sit down and explain the matter clearly. "Tell me, Anna, are you the daughter of Grand Duke Mikhail?"

Hearing this, Anna's heart began to panic. Why panic? Because she is simply the daughter of Grand Duke Mikhail. If you admit it, it is tantamount to sending yourself to death; If you deny it, you are afraid that you will not be able to escape the questioning of the major of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Comrade Yakov, why do you ask that?"

Yakov glanced around again, and after making sure that no one could eavesdrop, he said softly: "Now there is information that you are the biological daughter of Grand Duke Mikhail." Is this true? ”

Anna did not answer directly, but subtly asked, "What information?" What evidence do you have? ”

"The comrades in Moscow and Leningrad have thoroughly investigated the background of your adoptive parents and confirmed that your mother met Natalia Brasova (Grand Duchess) before the revolution."

What does this mean? It's just a meeting. ”

"It was April 1917, and you would have been about two and a half years old. According to our available archives, your mother lived at 30 Gardenstrasse in Leningrad at that time.

According to the confessions of the neighbors, they had no idea of your existence until April 1917. But just a few days after your mother met Brasova, you appeared. ”

Anna smiled wryly and said, "How well is this story made?" Before 1917, I lived in my hometown in the Urals, not in Petersburg at all. It was only after the February Revolution that the Tsar was overthrown that my mother was relieved to bring me there and live with her. ”

Anna's explanation seemed to make sense, but Yakov still found a flaw and asked, "What about your father?" Who is he? ”

"My father? He joined the Red Guards before the October Revolution and died in the revolution. ”

"Really? But before that, no neighbors knew about your father's existence. ”

"I don't know, I was young at the time, and my mother didn't tell me about these things."

Yakov stared into Anna's eyes and said, "By the way, you reminded me of something. We haven't asked your mother to help us investigate. ”

Anna didn't want her adoptive mother to be victimized. In her impression, the interrogation methods of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were full of strangeness, and if her adoptive mother had entered the interrogation room of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, she was afraid that she would not have come out alive.

"Don't! Don't catch my mother! ”

"Anna, we just wanted to ask her to come back and investigate. As long as she doesn't lie and tells everything truthfully, she won't be hurt in any way. ”

"Nope! No! Don't catch her! She is innocent! ”

Yakov didn't leave any room for the other party, and asked fiercely: "Why not?" Are you really a member of the Tsarist royal family? ”

"I ......"

Yakov pressed Anna's hand and said kindly: "Anna, I'm actually here to help you, please don't be nervous. ”

Anna hurriedly removed Yakov's hand and said, "I don't need your help!" ”

"Listen, I'm the only one who can help you get away with your sins right now. As long as you do what I say, I guarantee that you, and your mother will be fine. ”

Anna didn't trust the major of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in front of her, in his eyes, everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs was a demon king who killed people without blinking, and would not help people at all. "Why do you want to help me?"

"I don't want innocent people to suffer! And what about the Tsarist royal family? You can follow the party's line, be loyal to the great party, and serve the people, and you should not be guilty at all. ”

Actually, Yakov did not have all the information, and the reason why Anna was investigated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was not because of her ancestry, but because of her ex-boyfriend, the specific reasons will be discussed later.

Anna brushed her bangs with her hand and said softly: "Well, I am indeed the biological daughter of Grand Duke Mikhail. But I was loyal to the party, accepted the leadership of Comrade Stalin, and always served the people with all my heart. For me, the Romanov royal lineage is a burden, a shadow that has always been deeply rooted in my heart and cannot be eradicated. ”

Yakov pressed Anna's hand again and comforted: "I understand your feelings, and I will do everything to help you." Actually, you are not alone, don't feel helpless, because I am still here. ...... later"
