Chapter 109: Crown Prince Ludwig (6K)
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty Margaret!"
"I have an objection to Princess Anastasia's inheritance of the Holy Roman Empire!"
After glancing at each other, Louis, Duke of France, the would-be father-in-law of Louis Bonaparte, was the first to stand up.
As Europa's first army power and one of the core principalities of the Holy Roman Empire, he was an indispensable figure in the imperial court.
The Holy Roman Empire was an empire formed by a union of principalities, the successor of ancient Rome consisting of a coalition of nobles who swore allegiance to Her Majesty Empress Margaret.
The Duke of France who came out at this time, he was not alone.
Behind him were Duke Wilhelm of Germany, Duke Karl of Austria, and several other dukes who held important positions in Europa.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
This was a scene that Margaret had never anticipated.
In her memory, as long as she decided, these Grand Dukes of the Holy Roman Empire almost all agreed unconditionally.
Even if there is an objection, it is only after she announces that she will quietly come to her and explain that it may be wrong to do so, and that some of the parts need to be corrected.
She is also accustomed to this pattern, and on the surface Her Majesty the Holy Roman Empire is supreme, but in reality she also needs the help of these dukes to govern this immensely large empire.
Behind Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire were thousands of civil servants, government officials of the millions.
The era of ancient Rome, when information was not smooth and bandits often needed to be personally dispatched by a Roman god, has long ended.
The invention of railways, airships, brought the scope of the empire's domination to an unprecedented peak.
It was the best of times in Rome and the best of the world, and people think so.
The current situation of direct objection to Margaret has not happened once in the past at the Supreme Council of the Holy Roman Empire.
Louis, Duke of France, directly stood up and set this precedent, which means that the members of the highest echelons of the Holy Roman Empire headed by him are really anxious.
"Aren't you all supporting Anastasia?"
Margaret looked at the dukes whispering to each other and realized that something was wrong.
"Yes, we have no objection to Princess Anastasia's first Holy Roman Empire succession until now."
"But, Your Majesty Margaret, how can you hide that you have an illegitimate child!"
"My dear Majereth Margaret, this is a great event that will change the succession of the Holy Roman Empire!"
The words of Louis, Grand Duke of France, were also the voice of the majority of the people at the highest levels of the entire Holy Roman Empire.
Almost everyone was blown up by the news of Her Majesty the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire.
By the time they realized that this was true, especially since that Ludwig had shown his dukely strength, it was all right.
No wonder that the mysterious YMCA has such great strength.
Roman swordsmanship at the level of a sword master is not a realm that can be achieved by hard practice.
Ludwig's strength itself proves his incomparably noble bloodline.
It was only because of the fixed impression in their minds that everyone focused their reasoning on the Roman I of the Eastern Roman Empire, who loved to sow.
Well, a lot of bastards are known to everyone in the entire continent of Europa, and it's not surprising that one of his illegitimate children came out of nowhere.
No one thought of Her Majesty the Empress.
Because it is well known that Her Majesty Margaret does not like men, and there is no one in this world who can force a god-blood emperor to conceive offspring with someone he doesn't like.
The result of this impression was that when Margaret announced that Ludwig was her illegitimate child, the heads of the Grand Dukes were blown up.
This, this, this, this kind of thing!
You said it earlier, Your Majesty Margaret!
You don't know what those lace tabloids out there say about you.
"Her Majesty the Lonely Empress for a hundred years."
"Her Majesty the Empress will always be holy and pure."
"This year's list of candidates for the duke's daughter to enter the Lily Palace."
Well, the more explicit ones are impossible to appear in the newspapers, and can only circulate secretly as underground.
It is said that in the Holy Roman Empire, the Eastern Roman Empire, and even the New Roman Confederation sold well.
Louis, Duke of France, Karl, Duke of Austria, and William, Duke of Germany, never dreamed that Ludwig, who had a mysterious origin, actually had the blood of the princess of the Purple Hall in Rome.
"This ...... Because it was an accident......"
"I was traveling to the Far East for a while and met a boy who was even more lovely than a woman......"
"The child was born by accident, it was a premature baby, it was born at six months, and it lost signs of life."
"I thought it was going to be a secret forever."
"As a result, it seems that some miracle has happened to this child, and the power of the Roman divine blood has protected him and brought him back to life."
Margaret made up a story about Ludwig's origins, which can be regarded as explaining the origin of Ludwig's Roman divine blood.
Counting the time, it is barely right.
It's just that Margaret, who went to the Far East during that time, didn't meet any teenagers who were more beautiful than girls, but took a few black-haired maids back to her lily palace.
Even if there was anything unreasonable, several dukes of the Holy Roman Empire had all made up their brains to the Roman Divine Blood, the only transcendent bloodline in the world.
Now, even if Margaret says that this Ludwig is the son of a lily, they believe it.
Ludwig's Roman divine blood is genuine, and that sword saint-level swordsmanship can't be faked no matter what!
It is no wonder that after discovering Ludwig, Her Majesty Margaret blocked the news, and the existence of this black-haired young man is still known only to a small circle at the top of the Holy Roman Empire.
She went to see Ludwig and confirmed that he was the blood of the Roman god and her child!
Everything is right!
Ludwig, not the divine blood of Roman I, but the descendant of Margaret, the most orthodox princess of the Purple Hall of the truly great Roman Empire.
"Your Majesty, Margaret, I believe in Your Majesty, and I believe that Ludwig is Your Majesty's child."
"So, I'm going to object to Princess Anastasia starting the succession ceremony now."
"Ludwig, that child, also has the right to inherit!"
"You can't treat the bloodline of the Purple Hall like this, the most orthodox bloodline inheritance of the Roman Empire!"
The Grand Highway of France shouted out in no uncertain terms, and this was also the voice of all the dukes of the Holy Roman Empire gathered here.
Previously, they recognized Anastasia's first inheritance because there was no other choice.
Only the blood of the Roman gods is the only Roman orthodoxy.
Even if they are unhappy with the arrogant Roman I, they have to admit that he does have the right of Roman inheritance, and the birth of the golden cat-eared princess Anastasia naturally got the right of Roman inheritance.
Her Majesty the next Empress of the Holy Roman Empire is Anastasia, and it is acceptable that there is only one Roman heir.
The problem is that now, it's different!
Your Majesty Margaret, your child Ludwig, the fourth Roman blood has appeared!
You don't think about the Holy Roman Empire, you have to think about your children!
This one is also a member of the royal family with the blood of an orthodox Roman god.
Whoever his father was, he lived in a small Bavarian town, a member of the Holy Roman Empire!
You completely ignore his orthodox Roman bloodline, it's not okay!
"Uh, what do you mean?"
Margaret didn't expect that this excuse, which was originally just a lie, just to make the transcendent sword saint Ludwig justify the glory of the Roman divine blood, seemed to be misunderstood by everyone.
With Ludwig's personality, it was impossible for him to be a Roman emperor, and Margaret knew this.
This is a sword master who only uses his extraordinary swordsmanship to fight the jungler even if he has no money, and he doesn't care about power or anything.
The time with him was so fulfilling, and Margaret, who was opened by him to her transcendent path, wanted to repay him, so she told such a lie.
As a result, it looks like it's messed up?
Just like that duel with her brother Roman, she had the opportunity to kill Roman completely, but because of a moment of soft-heartedness, Roman seized the opportunity to fight back, and in the end both lost.
"Yes, please think about it seriously, the most orthodox Roman divine blood should not be given up by you!"
"This is your child, it is not a problem to have an illegitimate child or anything, he should be the rightful heir of our Holy Roman Empire!"
Orthodoxy, bloodline, from ancient Roman times to the present day in the continental Europa tradition.
For thousands of years, the concept of the supremacy of Roman divine blood has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has also been engraved into the genealogy of these Europa nobles.
This was a time when even a cow could trace its genealogy to prove that it was truly delicious, a time when the Holy Roman Empire and the Eastern Roman Empire were polar opposites.
In order to derive from the Roman blood of Princess Margaret of the Purple Room, Louis, Duke of France, Wilhelm, Duke of Germany, and Karl, Duke of Austria, must stand up.
This is the first time that they have always supported Margaret unconditionally, and they have opposed the order of Her Majesty the Empress.
From their point of view, Ludwig's birth was a major event that would go down in Roman history.
Anastasia is very good, and indeed has the most perfect Roman blood in legend.
But France, Germany, Austria, Ireland, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal...... The true allegiance of the entire continent of Europa is you!
It is the princess of the Purple Hall in the old Roman era, Her Majesty Margaret, the empress of the Holy Roman Empire!
It is Her Majesty the Great Empress who once gathered the Electors of Rome, who had been scattered and on the verge of collapse, to form the Holy Roman Empire!
After Louis, Duke of France, spoke out, the upper echelons of the entire Holy Roman Empire quickly reached an agreement to support Louis, Duke of France!
When Anastasia is the only one in the Holy Roman Empire, there is no second choice.
Now, there are new options.
And it was personally proclaimed by Her Majesty Margaret, the Holy Roman Empire, the fourth Roman god in the world.
Ludwig!
A mysterious young man who lives with Louis Bonaparte, a genius with duke-level strength and sword mastery.
When his true identity was revealed, the dukes suddenly realized.
Your Majesty, you have made us so miserable in concealing it!
Is it the first time you see Ludwig, you find something.
I went to see this young man in person, and unfortunately he had a fever, but he was able to return to the Vienna court so refreshed, because it was confirmed that this child was connected to your blood!
"Crown Prince, Ludwig!"
"The fourth Roman god blood, or the same male as Roman!"
"God bless Rome, God bless Rome!"
"Your Majesty, why have you been hiding it until now, if it weren't for Ludwig coming to Vienna, you wouldn't have told this secret in your life!"
"Even if it is a dead member of the Roman royal family, it must be written into the genealogy of the Roman royal family!"
"I like little Anastasia very much, and I recognize her potential to be a great queen."
"However, this is not a reason to give up Crown Prince Ludwig, he cannot be abandoned, not allowed to be abandoned!"
"For the sake of the greatness of Rome, I propose to start the selection of the crown prince's fiancée immediately!"
"Yes, for the sake of Roman blood, we have a lot of recommendations!"
Louis, Duke of France, took the lead, and the top of the entire Holy Roman Empire was in turmoil, and they were all about to riot.
The appearance of an orthodox Roman god-blood crown prince is earth-shattering news for the entire Holy Roman Empire, and indeed for the entire world.
Aren't you all spoiling Anastasia?
Me, did I mess up?
Margaret watched in amazement as the dukes were discussing Ludwig's marriage candidates, and some even included their own granddaughters, who were not yet nine years old.
The entire Viennese court was plunged into a state of almost fanatical euphoria.
Several elderly dukes of the Holy Roman Empire are imagining the future of the Empire.
Anastasia is still Margaret's designated first heir, but everyone feels that this matter is still negotiable.
They must do whatever it takes, and by all means, to persuade Her Majesty Margaret to pay attention to her Crown Prince Ludwig.
No matter how good Anastasia is, she is also the princess of the Eastern Roman Empire.
We have Crown Prince Ludwig here, how can we go far and let the princess of the Eastern Roman Empire pick peaches directly!
This is the blood of a male Roman god!
Referring to Roman I of the Eastern Roman Empire, men have an advantage over women in the branches and leaves of the Roman divine blood, which is not the result of a princess Anastasia with golden cat ears!
As long as the base is large enough, there is always a higher probability of a new Roman god blood, and the mathematics is so true.
"Your Majesty, that child is so pitiful."
"A person who grew up alone in that kind of place, I heard that he was picked up in the Far East, oh my God, how much suffering this child must have suffered."
"What a romantic story of dying before being born and then returning from death, proof of God's protection!"
"Ludwig, Ludwig, Ludwig, Your Majesty Margaret, your decision is so unfair to this child!"
"Yes, the crown prince of our Holy Roman Empire should be the first heir of the empire."
"He's only eighteen years old this year, I heard that he failed to take the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts, and he was deprived of the imperial inheritance by Your Majesty without knowing anything, this is not good!"
Even Margaret's most hardcore supporters, the female officials of the Lily Palace, who hurried to the Vienna court, couldn't stand it and persuaded Margaret one after another.
There are no children in the Lily Palace, although they are all voluntarily dedicated to Her Majesty the Empress of the great Holy Roman Empire and never marry, but this does not mean that they do not like children.
Ludwig's appearance almost provoked the pity of the flowers of the entire Lily Palace.
The child who was judged to die of illness continued his life because of the blood of the Roman gods, was picked up by well-wishers, brought back to the Holy Roman Empire, and eventually grew into a great sword master.
This story, which is enough to go down in the history of Rome, is so romantic and dreamlike.
Dear Majrethe, how can you be so ruthless as to let this child lose everything he deserves!
This is not Roman, and it is not holy!
"Well, I mean, Ludwig should be the type who wants to follow the path of the Juggernaut and doesn't like to inherit the throne."
Margaret was vaguely aware that she seemed to have made a huge mistake.
"He's only eighteen years old, he's still a kid, and he has endless possibilities for the future!"
"Yes, you can't deprive Ludwig of his inheritance in this way, after Roman I hangs up, he may be the only male Roman god blood for more than a hundred years to come!"
"It's not impossible to let the Sword Saint be His Majesty the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and all of our Electors will definitely pass this resolution by unanimous vote."
"It's not the same as before, even if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like government affairs, we have a way to solve all kinds of problems in the empire."
"Swordmaster, Swordmaster is the pride of Roman history."
"In the past, the Sword Master did not inherit the position of Emperor of Rome because there were still many candidate divine bloods, and now we have an orthodox Roman divine blood, thank God!"
"He can be his sword master, but he can also be the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, it's not a conflict at all!"
Not only the maids of the Lily Palace, but the entire upper echelons of the Holy Roman Empire spoke up for Ludwig, even if they had only seen the illegitimate son of Her Majesty Empress Margaret in binoculars.
All the excuses that Marguerite could think of were nothing in the face of the lie that Ludwig was her illegitimate child.
Now, is it a good intention to do a bad thing?
Margaret looked at the high-ranking ministers of the Holy Roman Empire who surrounded her, all of whom were her die-hard supporters.
Even if she said that she would go to war with the Eastern Roman Empire tomorrow, they would obey her will, and this would start preparations for World War II.
This is the prestige of Her Majesty Margaret, the Empress of the Holy Roman Empire, who has ruled the great empire for more than a hundred years.
It is precisely because of her terrifying influence that when the news that "Ludwig is the illegitimate child of His Majesty Margaret" broke out by herself, it caused such a crazy frenzy.
In her youth, Her Majesty Margaret was the first love of all the Grand Dukes here.
Margaret entered a period of decline (though it wasn't), and their loyalty to Margaret did not change in the slightest.
And because Margaret herself didn't realize that she was so important to the Holy Roman Empire, everything changed when she recognized the illegitimate son of "Ludwig".
The Holy Roman Empire has a crown prince who inherits the bloodline of the most orthodox princess of the Purple Hall.
Ludwig, the name will be destined to be written into the history of the Holy Roman Empire.
Even if they had to disagree with Her Majesty Empress Margaret for the first time in their lives, the Electors of the Holy Roman Empire, led by Louis, Duke of France, Wilhelm, Duke of Germany, and Karl, Duke of Austria, would have to stand up for Ludwig and for the Roman tradition.
This is not a family affair for Her Majesty Empress Margaret, but for the whole of Rome.
On this day, the entire court of Vienna was plunged into an unprecedented revelry because of the return of Her Majesty the Holy Roman Empire and the news she announced.
The name "Ludwig" is no longer an ordinary student of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts.
Even if it has not been made public, the coat of arms of Crown Prince Ludwig has already begun to work overtime overnight to make it.
The fact that the Holy Roman Empire has its own heir to the Roman blood is far more important than Margaret thinks.
Important, even Her Majesty the Empress could not prevent this uproar from spreading and beginning to sweep across the continent of Europa overnight.
"That...... I'm sorry, Ludwig. ”
"I obviously just want to give you the rightful position of Transcendent Sword Saint."
"Or ...... We...... Private ......"
Margaret, who found out that something was wrong, finally knew that she was wrong, and she was wrong.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
…………
At this time, Ludwig, who was still living in the shabby room next to Bonaparte, was far from realizing how much trouble Marguerite had caused to him when she returned to the Viennese court.
He was staring intently at his bed—more precisely, the little snow-white feet of Anastasia in the corners of the sheets.
It's beautiful.
In the world of black and white, Ludwig's eyes of Anastasia are so lovely, a completely different beauty from Margaret.
Her little feet seem to be made of the most beautiful white jade, small toes curled together, natural, and her nails are pale pink, which looks as if they are crystal clear, like the most beautiful and transparent crystals.
Such colors are worth painting.
The world after meeting you is full of things that are different from the past.
I seem to have some understanding of what the so-called artistic feeling is.
It is the heartbeat that touches the heart, the emotion that sprouts in the soul, and the pursuit of "beauty", which cannot be accurately depicted even by the slightest line.
Yes, part of the mental image.
"Language and Understanding."
"Behavior and Phenomena."
"Mind and body."
Ludwig, picking up the paintbrush, took the initiative to turn off the absolute sense of time.
Artistry doesn't need to be so precise.
