As Ernst's wife and future princess of the Kingdom of Lithuania, Maria naturally needed to attend the coronation, along with Prince Charles and Princess Rosa. It's normal for Maria and Charlie to attend the coronation, but why is there Princess Rosa among them? Many people have guessed a lot about this, and the fact that Mary and her arrival the night before the coronation had a lot to do with it.

For Maria, just mentioning Princess Rosa is a blow to her majesty, because the Czech Duchy is a monogamous country after all, and now Ernst not only exposed his illegitimate daughter to the media, but even admitted that it was too much to let her participate in the coronation ceremony.

What is behind this incident is not clear to many people, but some cabinet members of the Kingdom of Lithuania have thought of something, but they are a little unsure. Did Ernst really want to do that? It was not an easy task, and it was a destabilizing factor within the Ernst family.

The Grand Duke of the Czech Republic and the King of Lithuania was an unscrupulous man, this is the assessment given by most of the media. Of course, they put it in the newspaper a little more tactfully, but if you think about it, you can see that this is actually what they meant.

The coronation began at the Imperial Palace, and when dignitaries, royalty, and important people from all over the world gathered, journalists also struggled to obtain the qualifications to enter the door. However, these reporters have been vetted by the Security Bureau, and all the investigations including their jobs, identities, family members, etc., are clear.

Although it is now a new century, Benedict XV is still very comfortable with such a thing, after all, Ernst is not the first king to be crowned by him since he became pope, and even Messirilian is not the first.

In the ornate hall, when Benedict XV placed the crown symbolizing the throne on Ernst's head, Ernst suddenly smiled and said as if jokingly: "This is my second coronation, and the second time I have worn the crown, and of course I may have to trouble you a third time in the future." ”

This sentence seems to be said to Benedict XV, but everyone knows exactly how it is. Could it be that the diplomats from the Russian Empire were a little excited, the Austrian officials were a little uneasy, the Hungarian officials were calm, and then there were the Soviet Union, England, France, and the United States, and they all began to differ according to Ernst's words.

It is worth mentioning that although Ernst wears the traditional royal attire of the Middle Ages on the outside, he has a military uniform on the inside. What does this mean? Could it be that in the future the Lithuanian and Czech Principalities will use force to establish themselves in their international position, or what Ernst just said......

Leaving the following officials and nobles from various countries to speculate, Ernst smiled lightly and stood up to prepare for the next item, he will go to the Lithuanian cabinet to take the oath, and at the same time accept the cabinet's allegiance. Striding outside, looking at his back, the people in the hall had mixed thoughts.

More than twenty Mercedes-Benz cars, which were Ernst's car on his way to the cabinet. Along the way, many Lithuanian citizens appeared on the streets, and they were undoubtedly very excited and excited, and it can be said that Ernst now has considerable influence in various European countries. And with the filming of the Czech royal family, Ernst's character and habits were exposed to the citizens.

Although the falsehood is predominant, it also makes people more and more affectionate to the Ernst family, and his toughness, his gentleness, his somewhat naïveness, and his unyielding are deeply imprinted in the hearts of Ernst's subjects. All of a sudden, there were many Ernst fans who admired him and longed to be loyal to him.

Flowers, buntings, this is not the role of the government, but the spontaneous behavior of the citizens, and the war makes them yearn for a strong and capable king. Undoubtedly, Ernst is a typical example of the life of the Czech principality that the citizens of Lithuania aspire to and pursue.

At the door of the Cabinet, Prime Minister Arturas and a dozen other members of the Cabinet were already waiting there, as well as two dozen generals who would likewise declare their allegiance to Ernst in the Cabinet.

Alturas and the others greeted each other, and then Ernst went to the cabinet with Maria, and behind them were Charles and Rosa, who were carrying the blood of the Habsburgs. This is their first public appearance, and although the two little ones are still young, they have very different attitudes towards the shining lights. Charlie looked at all this with a blank expression, while Rosa was a little happy, of course, they were still relatively young, and the current situation could not say anything.

In the cabinet hall, Ernst first took the stage to explain his future duties and responsibilities, and then began to wait for the oath of allegiance of Prime Minister Arturas and his party. In fact, these things are superficial, and people did not fulfill their vows during the time of the Middle Ages of God's faith, let alone now.

The rest of the cabinet is much simpler, mainly to show up in public and let its citizens know themselves. Although it is simple, this matter is also the most dangerous, and the most stressful is undoubtedly the guards of the Security Bureau and the Lithuanian police, compared to the jerky guards of the police, they are much more familiar with it.

The police station in Vilnius has long been controlled by Czech guards, but of course the control here is mainly their headquarters. The Vilnius police station is now taken over by a deputy chief of the police department of the Principality of the Czech Republic, who was in charge of law and order when Ernst was crowned Grand Duke of the Czech Republic, so it was only fitting that he would be in charge.

A coronation seems to be only half a day, but for this half day Lithuania has been busy for more than half a month. This is still the reason why there is no grand event, otherwise it would have been possible for two or three months. By now Ernst's coronation was almost complete, and the two little ones seemed to be very tired, so as soon as it was over, Ernst let the servants take them away, and the feast continued, so Ernst and Maria could not leave.

There were also quite a few Lithuanian nobles, but not many were recognized, but they also attended the coronation banquet at this time. Maria was surrounded by the wives of several Lithuanian nobles, who seemed to be talking happily with her, but if you looked closely, you could see that the person they had been courting was not too happy.

Naturally, Maria was not very happy, and Rosa's escort was really unexpected for her. What does it mean that Rosa also appeared at the coronation ceremony in public? It shows that in the future Rosa is likely to inherit the throne of the Kingdom of Lithuania. This can't be, because Ernst has always preached that women can't be kings? Indeed, who can guarantee that Jessica will not give birth to another son for Ernst in the future, or even that Ernst will publicly admit his identity? Now it seems that the probability of such a situation is very high, so Mary had to make some preparations.

Assassination and the like were naturally not okay, after all, she knew Ernst's character too well. If she did such a thing, she could only be unlucky in the end, and Ernst didn't give her face, after all, Ernst never made his relationship with Jessica public.

Now it is clear that Rosa is Jessica's daughter only a few high-ranking people, and in the eyes of ordinary people below, Rosa is Maria's daughter. Something is wrong with the timing? This is not the Internet era, who knows the specific things? When the newspapers don't publicize it, it's the death of the king, and a year or two later the average citizen may not know about it.

This is not an exaggeration, what is the channel through which you get the news? Who in a remote place can know what is going on in the capital? Although telephones existed, the only people who could afford to use telephones during this period were those who were either rich or noble, and ordinary citizens could not touch them.

The post office can make a call, but a phone call is at least a few tens of pence a minute, who can afford such a price? Unless it's a necessary thing, only make those two or three calls a year, who is willing to spend this money on some gossip news? For example, in the event of Ernst's coronation, that is, the local citizens of Vilnius made a noise, did they even go out of their way to call their relatives?

At the banquet, Ernst said this to the high-ranking officials and nobles from Britain and France, while quietly observing the Lithuanian cabinet members, the intelligence bureau said that the cabinet is not united, they also have their own thoughts, after some observation, Ernst couldn't help but nod that this is true, they also have their own small groups.

The Lithuanian cabinet can be divided into three factions, the first is naturally the capable group dominated by Prime Minister Arturas, the second is the incompetent nobles, and the third is the merchants who took out money in the early days of the kingdom.

Of course, Arturus was not all-powerful, and some of the nobles were not completely incompetent, but only the merchant family was really rich and cunning and capable. But...... Ernst was not destined to be reused for these merchants, because they were fundamentally the opposite of Ernst.

Merchants value money, and they may value titles, but when Ernst can't give them them, they naturally base everything on money. What's more, businessmen are profit-seeking, and it is not safe to let them go to the cabinet Ernst, who knows if someone will spend a price to buy them off against Ernst in the future?

Although Ernst wanted to be the first to take action against the merchants, he had just arrived in Lithuania and was especially confronted with a group of old foxes, and he did not believe that these people had no means to threaten him.

Arturas, perhaps this process also needs to rely on his strength, in any case Prime Minister Arturas is a very capable man, if his loyalty is not in question, Ernst does not mind letting him remain in the position of Prime Minister, and even when he retires, it is not impossible to give him a knighthood recognized by the International Royal Council.

Doesn't the title of the International Royal Council need to be nominated by one and recognized by two? That being said, but what part of the world is truly fair and just? At least every once in a while, a king of a large country such as Ernst would have three "recommended" places.
