Chapter 218: Enthronement (Subscription Requested!! )
1860, August 1, Mosk.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Move fast! ”
In the splendid corridor, the palace chief directs the maids and servants to lay out the red carpet in the Kremlin, today is the queen's big day on the throne, and there is no room for error!
In the bedroom, Katerina sat at the dresser, wearing a blue white dress encrusted with diamonds, and picked up the pendant earrings on the table.
Behind her, Marusa, the valet maid, was combing her hair, putting her hair in a high bun and dressing up her makeup.
With the death of Paul I and the defeat of the kingdom army fleeing towards the border, Katerina has become the first in line to the throne, and her ascension to the throne is what everyone is looking forward to.
"Your Highness, you are so beautiful."
Marusa smiled as she pulled up Katerina's hair, "I don't know how many people will be smitten by you." ”
"Beauty is also a woman's weapon." Katerina put on her earrings, looked at herself in the mirror and said, "You're beautiful too, Marusha." ”
Marusa smiled, she had been with Katerina for more than ten years, and had been Katerina's personal maid since Peter the Great was still alive, and the relationship between the two was similar to that of master and servant, and better than that of master and servant.
If you ask anyone in the world who knows Katerina best, it must be Marusa.
"Your Highness, you are going to ascend the throne today, the former king of the Romanov Kingdom, His Majesty Paul I has no heirs, and you are also the only one of the direct heirs of the Romanov Kingdom, so.... You should give birth to an heir to the Romanov kingdom, and only then can the Romanov kingdom prosper. ”
"The prosperity of the Romanov kingdom is not determined by whether I give birth to an heir or not, if I could revive the Romanov kingdom by giving birth to an heir, I would have done so a long time ago." Katerina said in a calm voice.
"Your Highness, you know I didn't mean that." Marusa shook her head: "There are many officers who secretly love you, and they will be jealous of you for your favor, and if you give birth to an heir, it may make the kingdom more stable." ”
"Who will control the Romanov kingdom then?"
Katerina said with a deep gaze: "Those officers and nobles who pursue me, they are not only for me, but more for the throne. ”
"Your Highness, do you plan not to marry for the rest of your life?" Marusa wondered, "You're going to have to take this step sooner or later..."
"What I want to do is to let the Romanov Kingdom prosper forever, at least until I die, the Romanov Kingdom must be thriving." "And my children, I must inherit my will and make the Romanov kingdom stronger, and to achieve this, first of all, I need to find a suitable father.... His influence must be extremely far-reaching. ”
"Your Highness, do you want to give up your happiness to have a political marriage?"
"99% of the men in this world are stupid, Marusa, for the sake of the Romanov Kingdom, I will look for a suitable target from the 1% of smart people, if the other party can win my favor it will be great, but in the end, I value the future of the Romanov Kingdom more than personal preferences."

"I don't understand what you mean, Your Highness."
"Do you know why, last year, I went to the Kingdom of Windsor to explore the Church of Truth?"
"I don't know." Marusa shook her head, "You never told me. ”
"Then let me ask you again, what kind of situation will the Romanov kingdom enter into when I and the chosen church achieve final victory? Who is the Lord and who is the auxiliary, the church and the Kingdom? ”
Marusa thought about it carefully, she was trying to say that the kingdom must be the most important, but given the actual situation....
"The church may be more powerful than the kingdom, they have gods after all."
"That's right." Katerina bowed her head and said: "After the gods come, the kingdom will depend on the church to exist, no matter how good I do, I can only sit on an equal footing with the church, and I cannot completely eliminate the influence of the church on officials and the people. ”
Marusa's eyes widened suddenly, she covered her mouth, and reacted: "Your Highness, have you been working for the future heir of the Romanov Kingdom since last year?" ”
"If a country wants to be strong, it must be authoritarian, and the leader should love the people, and should listen to the opinions and sufferings of the people, but on the issue of development, the people who have access to information are not equal, and they cannot make correct judgments, so leaders are needed to guide the people."
Katerina stood up, walked to the window, and looked at St. Basil's Cathedral not far away: "And between the Church and the Kingdom, there must be a compromise and dominant relationship, but the question is that the interests of the Church and the Kingdom are not always the same and the same, and when the interests of the two sides diverge, who should compromise with the other?" ”
"Father Mavi is a very strong person, for the future of the Romanov Kingdom, I want to attack the Windsor Kingdom in the name of revenge, he stopped me, this is the beginning of the disagreement between the Church and the Kingdom, he is protecting the believers of the truth, and I want to make the Romanov Kingdom stronger, the ideals of the Romanovs are the same, but the path chosen is different."
"Everything I do is for the Romanov Kingdom, but what Father Mavi does is for the believers of the truth, and the two intersect, but they are not identical."
"How, then, can I get the Church to wholeheartedly support the Romanov Kingdom?"
Katerina turned her head, her light blue eyes looked directly at Marusa, and whispered, "With whom do I have an heir who can bind the church and the kingdom together?" ”
"But Your Highness, I don't think you should give up your happiness for the sake of the Romanov Kingdom, you have the right to pursue happiness!" "If you don't like Father Mavi, you shouldn't force yourself!" ”
"I didn't say I didn't like him."
"Do you like him, then?"
"Hmm.... I don't know. ”
Katerina looked at St. Basil's Cathedral again and thought for a long time before she said:
"It's just not annoying."

【Father Ma Wei】 【】
9 a.m., St. Basil's Cathedral.
Outside the church, crowded with people from all over the world, today is the day of Katerina's accession to the throne and an important moment for the complete rebirth of the Romanov kingdom.
"Priest!"
Dino squeezed his way through the crowd and hurried into the church, wiping the fine sweat from his forehead as he found Mavi in the prayer hall.
At this moment, Ma Wei was already wearing the white papal robe embroidered with gold stripes, and a silver crown on his head, and was standing in front of the table full of candles with his eyes closed.
Hearing Dino's voice, Ma Wei opened his eyes, turned around, and asked lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
"It's almost time to begin, enthronement ceremony!" Dino grabbed the teacup on the table and took a sip: "There are too many people outside!" I've never seen such a big battle! Is it really okay for you and Her Highness Katerina to ascend the throne on the same day? ”
"The accession to the throne on the same day represents our determination to work together and at the same time to avoid extravagance," said Mavi, "The Romanov Kingdom is in a very tight financial situation, and it is not advisable to spend too much on unnecessary things, and the money should be saved and used to restore infrastructure." ”
"How much does it cost to hold an enthronement ceremony.... The key is to stimulate the economy, increase spending power, and make the money flowing into the market work... Father, you don't understand...."
Dino complained in his mouth, but his face was full of smiles: "No matter what, we have at least come to this day, His Majesty the Pope..."
"I still like people to call me a priest, the title of pope is too cold."
"How majestic the Pope is! The only, and supreme ruler, voted the other day, and you voted unanimously, and everyone recognized your status! ”
"I am the founder of the church.... If you can't be the pope, it's too disqualified..."
Ma Wei came to the window, looked at the crowd that surrounded the Red Square, and said quietly: "Becoming the Pope is not the end, it is just the beginning, and now, our all-out struggle against the Apocalypse God System has officially begun." ”
"Daddy!"
Wearing a little white dress, small leather boots, and a cream mark on the corner of her mouth, Yunia ran into the prayer hall on tiptoe, grabbed Ma Wei's palm and said: "Uncle Levin said that the time is almost up, the Kremlin is ready, it's time to start!" ”
"Let's go...."
Dino brought a red cloak and helped Mavi put it on his body, the hem of the beautifully embroidered cloak dragged long on the ground, bent down to wipe the cream marks from the corners of Unia's mouth, took her little hand, and Mavi walked out of the church.
Wow –
The moment the figure appeared at the door of the church, an astonishing wave erupted on Red Square, and I don't know how many people came today, Waison, Scottkin, Goncharov.... They were all in the crowd, looking at Ma Wei with both excitement and anticipation, wearing a silver tiara.
The Banner of Truth fluttered over Red Square along with the two-headed lion banner of the Romanov Kingdom, and a golden crown was placed on a high platform that had been erected in advance.
Several monks stepped forward, holding up the hem of Mavi's cloak, and under the gaze of countless eyes, Mavi pulled Yunia up to the high platform and stood still, the believers kept shouting the name of 'Mavi', and in the crowd, cats could occasionally be seen shuttling around.

【Father Ma Wei】 【】
In order to prevent the assassination from happening again, Fat Orange led the Cat Legion, together with Bodlinov's secret intelligence organization and the Guards, to form three fronts, mixing in the crowd to secretly patrol and leave no chance for the assassins.
Suddenly, the instrument played, and in the Kremlin, Katerina, also in a cloak, appeared.
The crowd was quiet, and in the sun, Katerina's jewels shone brightly, and she slowly walked up to the high platform, standing still in front of Ma Wei, looking at each other, Katerina's mouth showed a meaningful smile, kneeling down on one knee, her chin lowered.
"I, Mavi Enders, the first pope of the Church of Truth, recognize the legitimacy of Katerina Romanov as the heir to the kingdom and, at the behest of the goddess, in the name of the goddess of truth, Yunia, grant her the status of king of the whole Romanov...."
Mavi picked up the golden crown and put it on top of Katerina's head with his own hands: "From today onwards, Katerina Romanov, you will be the king and ruler of the principalities of Mosk, Kiev, Vladimir, Novrod, the queen of Kazan, Astrakhan, the Siberian Khanate, the Grand Duke of the Principalities of Estonia, Strian, Rievland, Tver, Pskov, the prince, the heir queen and the occupant. ”
"If you can live the truth, and bring abundant warmth to the people of the Romanov kingdom, so that the name of the Romanovs will be famous and recognized by the world, then..."
"I will give you the title of Emperor!"
Katerina stood up, faced the crowd on Red Square, reached into her cloak, drew a long knife, and said loudly: "The light shines on the Romanovs!" ”
"Ula !!"
"Ula !!"
The crowd once again erupted in cheers that resounded through the sky, after many years, they once again ushered in the Pope, ushered in the king admired by all the people, just like the golden light shining in the crown, everyone believed that the Romanov tomorrow....
It will be full of light!
