Chapter 39: Half-dead
I had been shot several times, the bullets were poisonous, and I had lost so much blood that I should have been in a coma for a month or two before my condition became serious. However, as a seriously ill patient, at the critical moment between life and death, I was awakened by a person.
I still have lingering palpitations when I think about it.
Feletria, this girl appeared over Constantinople with a kitchen knife in one hand and the flag of Nazi Germany in the other, and the crazy sight of a two-headed eagle flag under her feet and a mad laugh kicked my ghost door back to the world.
But even so, I was in a coma for seven or eight days.
After that, I was awake for a period of time and coma for a period of time every day.
During that time, I was always awakened by loud noises, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a very blurry black shadow, only the little outline was shaking. Then my eyelids, which I couldn't struggle with, continued to close. As time went by, I finally managed to maintain my consciousness most of the time, and I was no longer confused.
Thankfully, my court physician here is a true physician who has a good understanding of Arabic and Oriental medicine, not the group of Western Europeans who have traveled thousands of miles to Scotland to find a thousand-year-old stone to press on my chest, and try to poke my chrysanthemum with a blower.
However, this does not mean that the doctors in Rome are good, this group of guys with no common sense, every now and then, shake jars of black poppies, "Your Highness, do you want to have some?", not only that, but they also patted their chests and said that after eating. Immediately there was no pain in the waist, no pain in the legs, and I went up to the fifth floor in one breath!
Went to scold the one next door. I have a grudge against their whole family, and they tempt me to take [drugs] at every turn, but fortunately, I am determined and survived from the first month of life that is worse than death.
However, worse is yet to come.
The following month made me feel the pain of cutting hemorrhoids. No way, the wound is too heavy, in this era when there is no elixir. I had to carry it hard, and for the first month, because I was in a coma for half the time, the self-protection of my brain cut off my sense of pain.
So. Even when I woke up, I couldn't move and was cut off from the outside. Because anger or anger will rupture my wounds, and that's when it's another toss-up.
Although I am isolated from the outside. But I was able to reach out through the mouth of the waiter.
Those who tried to start a rebellion were found. I don't know much about that person, but I heard that there was a time when Alexander and I were young, he was very close to Cheap Daddy, and he was once regarded as a person that Cheap Daddy deliberately cultivated and might be useful in the future, but I don't know how. By the time Alexander and I became adults, that guy was suddenly thrown into the cold.
can't be regarded as being beaten into the cold palace. But suddenly, as if overnight, the figure of that man was no longer seen as Theofano's number one lackey.
It was the one who seemed to be still trusted by the cheap daddy who betrayed him, and the price that the cheap daddy took lightly was that the old emperor, Dido died.
Thinking that the old man who was used as a product by our Theofano family actually went to save the cheap daddy and was killed at that moment, I had mixed feelings, I don't understand, for someone like Caesar, how could that old man save him?
Maybe it's for the stability of the country.
The Emperor died on the spot being assassinated by the Assassins, and I was seriously wounded, my life was in danger, and the whole country was in an uproar, but even so, the whole country was running in an orderly manner.
The national hatred that should be stirred up is stirring up hatred.
Preparations are being made for war.
Those who promote my achievements and threats to other countries are still doing their exaggerated propaganda.
And those who are preparing for the throne are preparing to welcome a new emperor for the empire.
Regarding the emperor, I always thought that the person who was going to be the emperor was a cheap dad
But less than a month after the incident, after cleaning up a group of people, Alexander ascended the throne as emperor.
This was a big surprise to me, but in a sense, this is the real order of enthronement, because according to the blood relationship, Alexander is the first in line of succession, I am the second, and the cheap father has to be ranked behind more than thirty places. But, as far as ambition is concerned, I don't think he'll give up the throne, so in the line of succession, I put him first, Alexander second, and I third.
Alexander ascended the throne and was called Alexander I.
Well, whoever made the emperor in the empire called Alexander is the only one, if I were the emperor, I wouldn't be called I, I have to be called... I calculate, it seems to be the fifth generation.
The egg hurts.
If you tell them, "Alexander I and Nikefurus V are two brothers", they will definitely show an expression of whether you are joking or not, you must know that there is a difference of four generations between Lu Dao I and Nichephrus II, where are the third and fourth kings of Nikefurus I and Nikifrus II?
It's a pity that I didn't make it to his enthronement ceremony, as did the rest of our friends, which is very regrettable, but Alexander's speech at the enthronement ceremony was very domineering.
"Twenty years of waiting make me stand here today and put on this crown in front of you!
On the moment I put on the crown, you will pray to God in my name in the future!
Imperial power!
And not given by the church!
God's will keep our empire going for a thousand years!
God is omnipotent!
Everything is under his care!
I am God's chosen emperor!
Everything I have said, what I have done, everything has been arranged in heaven by God's will!
And at this moment, I declare aloud that this era is my time, and this era will be the era of my rule!
Yes, my time has finally come!
After thousands of years of waiting, it is finally the turn of our generation to be born in this glorious and sacred land and become a Roman!
The time of our Romans has finally come again!
In my time!
We will carry out the will of the Empire throughout Europa, and let our glory shine once again on that gloomy land!
Why?
For me, Alexander, I was born for this!
The Romans, our enemies, thought that we Romans were old and could not move, and that we would only nest in the east with peace of mind forever and never think of going back!
Well, they're wrong!
Miss by a mile!
We Romans want to teach those barbarians what is the supreme king!
What is the King of Kings!!
The will of us Romans in Europa will be unstoppable!
All those who try to resist us will fall to their knees before us!
The double-headed eagle spreads its wings again in the sky!
Long live Rome!"
To get back to the point, Alexander ascended the throne, and I, the second in line to the throne, became the next crown prince without a child in the absence of an heir.
Will Alexander have children?
The Queen of Russia traveled thousands of miles to Russia to Constantinople in the following month, but unfortunately it was a great event, although the wedding was magnificent enough, but the emperor completed the wedding with her in military uniform, and then went out with the army without even waiting for a dinner.
We declared war on France, and at the same time I declared war on the Italian city-states of the Italian peninsula that had attacked Austria. Thousands of ships sailed out that night, and the Russian queen was left alone on her wedding night.
Is that Elizabeth really left the boudoir alone?
I was very skeptical, but the reality was that Alexander, the emperor of the Roman Empire, led his troops to the Italian Peninsula with more than 50 warships and more than 130 troop transports, a total of more than 180 ships, a total of 60,000 troops, more than 12,000 cavalry, more than 30,000 horses, and countless baggage supplies.
Of course, the most important thing is that this operation is based on the strategy I have laid out!
And I, the boss, will command the entire battle situation remotely!
There is only one point I have about this campaign against the French, Italians, Aragonese and Pagans, and that is the war of movement! (To be continued......
