For Anastasia, the original color of the world was purple.

When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was embroidered Tianluo dyed purple.

This is not the industrial dye of the rotten street that has been popularized by the public after the sunshine, but the purple dyed by the oldest traditional method.

The dye, extracted from the secretions of the subbranchial glands of some sea snails, is an ancient and expensive natural dye.

To extract one gram of this purple, it often takes artisans months to consume hundreds or thousands of conch conches with this color essence.

After extracting the corresponding natural fuel, the wool or silk soaked in purple is dried and the fishy smell of the conch is eliminated for more than half a year before it can be delivered to the royal family or the homes of the nobles.

The manpower and material resources required for the whole process are unimaginable, and in order to obtain the conch necessary for processing this purple dye, some people even risk their lives to dive into the water to find it.

For a long time, this purple color was called imperial purple, and the wool dyed from purple was equivalent to gold, and it was a treasure that could be passed down from generation to generation as an heirloom and dowry for the nobility.

In the thirtieth year of the solar calendar, scientists invented industrial purple dyes that could be prepared on a large scale, and purple was separated from the identity of the emperor and became a color that the common people could afford.

However, the aristocracy still had a special love for the most traditional conch purple, and disdained the purple produced on an industrial scale.

Wool carpets made from the most traditional conch purple are still a treasure sought after by the upper class, and even because several conch whelks that produce this raw material are endangered, the price of this rare conch purple fabric has surpassed that of gold.

The ceiling of Princess Anastasia's maternity room is a work of art decorated with this conch purple silk.

This is due to the insistence of the Eastern Roman Emperor Roman I, who not only perfectly reproduced everything in the original Purple Room in Rome, but also used higher standard decorations.

Even the original Roman Empire did not have the luxury of casually using purple, which is equivalent to gold, on such a large scale in the maternity ward.

In addition to the purple decorations that can be seen everywhere, the scent of wisteria flowers coming from the windows outside also makes Anastasia feel comfortable.

"Yikes!"

"Yikes!"

After opening her eyes, the future princess of the Eastern Roman Empire let out a healthy and powerful cry, and then suddenly followed:

"Meow!"

"Bang!" "Bang!"

There was a series of tables outside, and the sound of chairs being knocked off, and a big man with a height of nearly two meters and wearing the emperor's crown directly slammed open the door of the delivery room.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the little princess is born."

"And...... And it's a ...... The little princess of God's blood. ”

"True, Roman Orthodoxy.

All the maids around cried with joy, and being able to witness the birth of the Imperial Blood Princess was probably the most glorious and glorious moment of their lives.

Anastasia's mother, Princess Lisa, whom Roman I had married for less than a year, looked at her child with gentle eyes and smiled with joy.

Because, a miracle was born in her body.

She was one of the royal family members of the many principalities of the Russian Imperial State, inheriting a very thin Roman lineage.

The most orthodox divine blood blood was born in this new purple hall, born in her arms, and this is a big event that can go down in history.

And she, together with her daughter, will become a core member of the great Eastern Roman Empire.

Everything is like a dream.

By the way, she did have a strange dream last night, and it seemed that a golden light shone on her, and then she welcomed this child with golden ears and tail.

"My ...... My baby! ”

"Rome!"

Roman I held up his little princess high, didn't even look at the weak concubine after giving birth, and couldn't wait to rush out of the delivery room, announcing to everyone gathered in the New Purple Hall.

The most orthodox and sacred Roman bloodline, was born!

"Ouch......" Princess Lisa sighed.

Political marriage, there is really no love.

Obviously, she grew up listening to various stories about His Majesty Roman I, the Great of Eastern Rome, and thanked her father from the bottom of her heart when she was chosen as a concubine.

After all, she was born into a royal family, and she had nothing to be proud of other than her beauty and thin Roman blood.

From today, though, everything is different.

Because she had a child more noble than herself, she was destined to be the princess of the first heir of this incomparably powerful Eastern Rome by birth.

Yes, this is an indisputable fact.

From the moment the child came into this world, the maid in the delivery room and Princess Lisa guessed the truth when they first saw her golden cat ears and cat tail.

When she opened her eyes, their pupils changed color in response to the change of light, and finally became almost vertical lines, and the maids even fell to their knees in front of her.

In the end, that "meow" made one of the world's greatest two people, the emperor Roman I of the Eastern Roman Empire, savagely break in.

"This kid will have a hard time in the future."

Listening to the noisy sound over there in the New Purple Hall, Princess Lisa was a little envious.

It would be nice if she also had golden cat ears and a tail, and she could "meow".

As soon as this child is born, he is destined to become the focus of the whole world.

"Princess, you will soon be the queen."

"Your Majesty Roman, he is a man who has a clear distinction between rewards and punishments."

"Our princess will inevitably become the most noble princess of the Eastern Roman Empire."

The maids gathered to rejoice in their masters.

In the New Purple Hall, the reception hall, many important officials of Eastern Rome who stood up, including many grand dukes, all looked at the little life intently.

Golden cat ears and golden tails are all recessive features that only the original "Caesar, Octavian, Julius, Augustus, and Constantine" the Great possessed.

That one, however, led an army of only 1,000 at the beginning, swept through all the countries of the entire Europa continent, and completed the great cause of unifying the world, and was also the origin of the blood blood of the gods.

According to historical records, he alone once slaughtered the tens of thousands of barbarian tribal warriors gathered until they fell apart.

In that era of cold weapons, the Roman Emperor with golden cat ears was truly invincible.

The kind of fierce man who kills thousands of barbarian tribal soldiers in the morning and can come back to drink black tea in the afternoon.

"Undefeated golden flash!"

"Son of God!"

"Conqueror of the world, Roman Great!"

He is known as this and countless sculptures have been built in his honor, with the cat's ears and tail being the most prominent symbols.

Later, the descendants who inherited the blood of the original "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine" have at most cat ears and a kind of cat tail.

In modern times, at the end of the old Roman Empire, as long as it has the iconic special pupils and extraordinary physical fitness, it can be regarded as the most orthodox divine blood.

The pure-blooded golden cat's ears and tail are almost legendary.

However, in the inheritance of the blood and bloodline of the Roman gods, there has also been an extremely rare phenomenon of bloodline backtracking.

The ancestors were all civilians for seven or eight generations, without any shadow of divine blood, and they did not show divine blood factors when they were born, but they suddenly awakened the characteristics of divine blood and bloodline during the development period.

It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to trace the history, and it can eventually be traced back to the private history of a pure-blood male son of the Roman royal family.

Men, you know, and for the pursuit of noble children of this status, civilian women have almost no resistance.

After all, as long as it is the blood of the Roman gods, there is no ugly one, male or female.

Once such an example is discovered, it will be immediately included in the Roman royal family tree.

Any member of the Divine Blood is the pride of the Roman Empire and the most precious treasure of the world.

According to the theory of divine evolution, this is one of the proofs of God's existence.

"This is the gift of God, great Princess Anastasia."

Duke Peter of the Grand Duchy of Moscow looked at Princess Anastasia in the hands of Roman I with envy, and wanted to touch the pair of cat ears by virtue of his status as a relative.

I don't know why, the moment he saw this pair of cat ears, he couldn't help but feel the urge to touch them.

Obviously, this was not the idea of Duke Peter alone.

The people who were able to gather in the living room of the New Purple Hall at this time were the highest echelons of the Eastern Roman Empire, the cornerstone of the empire, and even the Eastern Roman Emperor Roman I had to rely on important ministers.

For a hundred years, almost everyone here had their own marriages, and the impregnable top of the Eastern Roman Empire was constructed.

Some of them come from the Siberian permafrost, some from the tropical continents of the Far East, and some from the island chain at the center of the ocean.

But at this moment, without exception, everyone couldn't help but look at Princess Anastasia and fantasize about what kind of fluffy touch it was.

No way, it's been three hundred years since the last princess with such golden cat ears and the prince was born.

Even Roman I himself has never touched this golden cat ears and cat tail.

"Go, go!"

"Such a young child, how can I make you move, get out."

The Roman Emperor blew his beard at Peter, the Grand Duke of Moscow, and glared at him, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was his junior, I am afraid that he would have kicked it away.

Counting, nine out of ten in this purple hall are the children of the Tsarist Imperial State, as well as two of his illegitimate sons, and even a grandson.

The grandson, from Siberia, was even older than the two sons.

There is no way, people live too long, and the generations are so chaotic.

However, there is only one thing that can be confirmed.

This child, Princess Anastasia, has been blessed by countless people from the moment she was born, and is a veritable child of destiny.

It was about the same day, probably a dozen hours later than Anastasia was born.

In the Far East, a couple who came from Vienna, the European capital of art, for a vacation, found a three-year-old child who had passed out and was seriously injured and dying under a plum tree.

"Oh my God, my dear, what kind of man is so ruthless to abandon such a young child into the wild."

"This is murder, what age is it, how can anyone still be so mad!"

"The days of starvation are long gone! God, it must be merciful that you let us discover this child. ”

"Go and ask anyone in the neighborhood if anyone knows this poor child."

After several days, the couple did not receive any news about the child from the surrounding villagers.

It is true that this is not the age of starvation, a boy is a good laborer, and normal conditions will not be discarded.

It's a pity that he was so seriously injured at such a young age, and it costs a lot of money to save him.

In the end, it was the couple who adopted the child.

"Dear John, are you not for me...... You know I can't have children. ”

"Betty, I do feel that this is God's will, that it was the great God who sent this child to us."

"John, there is no God in this world, and matter determines everything."

Well, this is a couple who believe in the theory of divine evolution and evolution, and they are also the children of an aristocracy who believe in science.

The families they were born into were the lowest nobles, that is, the lords, and they were considered the weakest of the hereditary nobles.

By now, the lordship had no land income, and the families on both sides were living in embarrassment, and even had to borrow to survive in debt to preserve the last dignity of the nobility.

Because of this, the two who love each other have had a marriage contract since childhood, and the marriage contract is to the newly rising merchant class in the Sunshine Calendar.

For the merchants of the emerging powers, the status of nobility was a stepping stone to the upper echelons of society.

Even though the merchants gradually began to grasp a lot of wealth, they still had to admit the fact that this was still a world where imperial power was supreme.

The Holy Roman Empire, the two emperors of the Eastern Roman Empire, each had tens of millions of troops, and they were not behemoths that any merchant power could contend with.

It's just that John and Betty are not satisfied with the marriage that has been decided a long time ago, and elope together.

Both decided to abandon the marriage decided by the family and decide their own marriage, and this trip to the Far East was their honeymoon.

Before leaving, neither of them expected that they would bring back a child.

However, it's okay, Betty can't have children because of a genetic disease, and they're the kind of people who don't care much about family blood and traditions.

In this way, a young couple returning from a trip to the Far East settled in the small town of Braunau on the border between Austria and Bavaria.

After changing their names and surnames, and bribing them to get a new local identity from the mayor of the town, the two became familiar with "Mr. John", "Mother Betty", and a child named "Ludwig".

In the eyes of others, Mr. John, who worked as a scribe in the bookstore, was a young gentleman with considerable grace and good education, who appealed to many young female staff members of the bookstore.

Betty's mother is a gentle and intelligent beautiful woman who is very liked by children, and is very good at making desserts, which is the object of longing for the girls in the town.

The only strange thing is that their child, the one named "Ludwig", seems to be born ungood at words and always looks at the world with blank eyes.

It was as if nothing could catch his attention, and there was a sense of alienation from the whole world.

It wasn't until he grew up and seemed to start adapting to the world that the strange sense of alienation gradually disappeared.

Time passed, and almost every year the newspaper headlines were full of news about Anastasia of the Eastern Roman Empire.

"Anastasia is turning old this year, and for the first time she can walk on her own, and appear in the Winter Palace of the Eastern Roman Court."

"Everyone was full of praise for this beautiful princess of noble blood, and all the Grand Dukes gave precious gifts, even Her Majesty Margaret from the Holy Roman Empire sent gifts to the little princess."

"According to the grapevine, in order to compete for the right to pet Princess Anastasia's cat ears, there were more than a dozen grand duels in public duels, showing the bravery of the dukes of the Eastern Roman Empire, and finally His Royal Highness the Grand Duke of Moscow Peter."

"Extra, extra, on Princess Anastasia's birthday, the Far East discovered the largest diamond mine in history, and the preliminary estimate of mineral reserves exceeds the total number of diamond mines on the African continent!"

"The era of the Holy Roman Empire's monopoly on diamonds is over, long live the Eastern Roman Empire, long live Princess Anastasia, this is a blessing from God!"

Initially, people thought it was just an accident.

In particular, scientists who firmly believe that matter determines everything scoffs at this pure gimmick.

"It's just a pure probabilistic coincidence, and the discovery of the diamond mine has nothing to do with Princess Anastasia's birthday."

"There are tens of thousands of children on this birthday!"

The second year.

"Extra, extra, on the day of Anastasia's second birthday, the Grand Duke of Siberia won the cat-eared sacred duel!"

"A large amount of gold has been discovered in the Indonesian archipelago, and the reserves are amazing, and His Majesty Roman I sent a navy to Indonesia to start mining."

"Long live Princess Anastasia!"

"Chance, it's just a matter of probability and statistics."

Scientists still don't think so, it's still the same principle, there are so many children who celebrate their birthdays with Princess Anastasia, are these children also blessed by God?

Year 3.

"The great Romans took Princess Anastasia on his first trip, and the destination was Laos in the Far East."

"Oh my God, an unprecedented amount of jadeite ore has been discovered in Laos!"

"It is said that Princess Anastasia dug it with a small shovel, and subsequent research suggests that this may be the largest jadeite mine ever discovered in human history."

Now, the scientists felt that something was wrong.

One can be said to be accidental, and three times in a row is already difficult to explain by pure probability.

Fourth year.

"Extra, extra, Princess Anastasia has solved Fermat's theorem, one of the most difficult problems in mathematics caused by the author's own lack of space for answers on the pages of the book, which has puzzled mathematicians for decades."

"The cat ear decoration designed by Anastasia began to become popular, and according to the most conservative estimates, the fanatical residents of the Eastern Roman Empire bought 100 million cat ears from the royal store!"

"There are also tens of millions of cat ears sold to the Holy Roman Empire for more than three times the price through smuggling channels!"

"The ancient underwater pyramid was discovered from the bottom of the sea in the Far East, and it was Princess Anastasia's birthday."

"This ...... Hell yes! ”

Even the most stubborn scientists have to admit that there really is some magic in this princess Anastasia.

Not only did she herself show extraordinary intelligence at the age of four, but as soon as it was her birthday, the Eastern Roman Empire would discover a great fortune at one time.

"The princess blessed with wealth" is called Anastasia, and scientists who support the theory of divine evolution believe that this is one of the proofs of God's existence.

Human cognition cannot observe the existence of gods, but gods occasionally leave traces in this world.

Princess Anastasia is one of the traces of God's presence in this world.

It is a person who has the blessing of the true gods like the original "Caesar Octavian Julius Augustus Constantine" the Great.

Time passed, and soon Princess Anastasia was sixteen years old, and everyone considered her to be one of the most perfect divine bloodlines in the history of the Roman royal family.

Her control over her wealth has reached an astonishing level.

When he was four years old, he had already designed his first cat ear decoration and sold more than 100 million copies.

At the age of six, he began to participate in the management of the royal estate, and easily dealt with a large number of corrupt elements, sending several elders to Siberia to grow potatoes.

At the age of twelve, she was already recognized by everyone as the next successor of the Eastern Roman Empire, and some people even said that now she had the ability to inherit this huge empire of five billion people.

At the age of fifteen, the great Princess Anastasia was only one step away from the throne, and her father, Roman I, personally admitted that he would soon abdicate and pass the throne of the Eastern Roman Empire to the only princess of the Purple Hall who had inherited the legitimate blood of Rome.

That year, outside the Austrian town of Braunau on the Rhine on the border between Austria and Bavaria, eighteen-year-old Ludwig packed his bags and prepared to set off for Vienna, the capital of Austria.

"Ludwig, my Ludwig, woo woo." Betty, who was no longer young, clutched her handkerchief and cried into tears.

"Betty, little ones always grow up."

"Ludwig was a special kid who saw the world differently than we did."

Perhaps, the path of art is the most suitable for him."

John comforted his wife and looked at the young man's back in the distance.

There was one thing he never told his wife, Betty.

He occasionally saw Ludwig's extraordinary side.

A panther who escaped from the mountains infiltrated the town and caused a huge panic in the town.

John will never forget the night he hid behind a window, waiting for the hunters to hunt down the leopard, which was said to be extremely dangerous.

Until, he saw in the back garden, the fourteen-year-old Ludwig picked up a short sword, and with one sword split the fierce black panther in two.

At that moment, he felt like he saw God.
