1860, August 1, Mosk.
"Hurry up, hurry up! Move faster!"
In the splendid corridor, the palace steward directed the maids and servants to lay down the red carpet in the Kremlin. Today is the grand day for the Queen's coronation, so nothing can go wrong!
In the bedroom, Katerina sat in front of the dressing table, wearing a blue-patterned white dress studded with diamonds, and picked up the pendant earrings on the table.
Behind her, the personal maid Marusa was combing her hair, putting it into a high bun, and doing her makeup.
Paul I died, the royal army retreated and fled towards the border. Katerina has become the first heir to the throne. Her ascension to the throne is what everyone is looking forward to.
"Your Highness, you are so beautiful."
Marusha tied up Katerina's hair and said with a smile: "I don't know how many people will be fascinated by you."
"Beauty is also a woman's weapon." Katerina put on her earrings, looked at herself in the mirror and said, "You are also very beautiful, Marusha."
Marusha smiled. She had been accompanying Katerina for more than ten years. She had been Katerina's personal maid since Peter the Great was still alive. The relationship between the two was similar to that of master and servant, but also better than master and servant. .
If you ask who knows Katerina best in the world, 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 direct heir of the Romanov Kingdom, so... you should be the Romanov Kingdom. The kingdom has given birth to an heir, and only in this way can the Romanov Kingdom prosper."
"The prosperity of the Romanov Kingdom is not determined by whether I give birth to an heir. If I could revitalize the Romanov Kingdom by giving birth to an heir, I would have done so long ago." Katerina said in a calm voice.
"Your Highness, you know I don't mean that." Marusha shook her head: "There are many officers who secretly love you, and they will be jealous in order to compete for your favor. If you give birth to an heir, it may make the kingdom more beautiful. Stablize."
"Who will control the Romanov Kingdom then?"
Katerina said with deep eyes: "Those officers and nobles who pursue me are not just for me, but more importantly, for the throne."
"Then your Highness, do you plan to never get married in your life?" Marusha asked doubtfully, "Sooner or later you will have to take this step..."
"What I want to do is to make the Romanov Kingdom prosper forever. At least before I die, the Romanov Kingdom will be prosperous." Katerina said: "And my children must inherit my will. , to 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 own happiness and enter into a political marriage?"
"99% of the men in this world are stupid, Marusha, for the sake of the Romanov Kingdom, I will look for a suitable target from the 1% of smart people. If the other person can win my joy, that would be great. But in the final analysis, I value the future of the Romanov Kingdom more than my personal preferences."

【Father Mavey】【】
"I don't understand what you mean, Your Highness."
"Do you know why I went to the Kingdom of Windsor personally to explore the Church of Truth last year?"
"I don't know." Marusha shook her head: "You never told me."
"Then let me ask you again, when I and the chosen church achieve final victory, what kind of situation will the Romanov Kingdom enter? Who is the master and who is the auxiliary, the church and the kingdom?"
Marusha thought about it carefully. She wanted 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 nodded and said: "After the arrival of the gods, the kingdom will exist dependent on the church. No matter how good I do, I can only be on an equal footing with the church and cannot completely eliminate the church's influence on officials and people. Influence, in this case, any reforms or policies I implement must be approved by the church, right?”
Marusha's eyes suddenly widened, she covered her mouth, and she reacted: "Your Highness, have you been looking for a father for the future heir of the Romanov Kingdom since last year?"
"If a country wants to be strong, it must be authoritarian. Leaders should love the people and listen to the opinions and sufferings of the people. However, when it comes to development issues, people who have unequal access to information cannot make correct judgments. At this time, Leaders are needed to guide the people.”
Katerina stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the St. Basil's Cathedral not far away: "There must be a compromise and dominant relationship between the church and the kingdom, but the problem is that the relationship between the church and the kingdom Interests are not consistent and the same at all times. When the interests and needs of both parties diverge, who should compromise with the other party?"
"Father Mavey is a very powerful person. For the future of the Romanov Kingdom, I wanted to attack the Kingdom of Windsor in the name of revenge. He stopped me. This is the beginning of the disagreement between the church and the kingdom. He is protecting believers in the truth. And I want to make the Romanov Kingdom stronger. Our ideals are the same, but the paths we choose are different."
"Everything I do is for the Romanov Kingdom, but what Father Mavey does is for believers in the truth. The two have overlap, but they are not exactly the same."
"So, how can I get the church to wholeheartedly support the Romanov Kingdom?"
Katerina turned back, looked directly at Marusha with her light blue eyes, and said softly: "Whose child will I give birth to, so that the church and the kingdom can be firmly bound together?"
"But Your Highness, I don't think you should give up your happiness for the Romanov Kingdom. You have the right to pursue happiness!" Marusha said: "If you don't like Father Mavey, you shouldn't force yourself!"
"I didn't say I didn't like him."
"So do you like him?"
"Hmm...I don't know either."
Katerina looked at St. Basil's Cathedral again and thought for a long time before saying:
"It's just not annoying."

【Father Mavey】【】
9 a.m., St. Basil's Cathedral.
There is a sea of people outside the church, surrounded by people who came from all over the country. Today is the day when Katerina ascends the throne, and it is also an important moment for the complete rebirth of the Romanov Kingdom.
"Father!"
Dino squeezed through the crowd and hurried into the church. While wiping the sweat on his forehead, he found Mawei in the prayer hall.
At this moment, Ma Wei has put on the pure white papal robes embroidered with gold patterns, and has a silver crown on his head. He is standing in front of a table filled with candles, closing his eyes and meditating.
Hearing Dino's voice, Ma Wei opened his eyes, turned around, and asked lightly: "What's the matter?"
"The enthronement ceremony is about to begin!" Dino grabbed the tea cup on the table and took a sip: "There are too many people outside! I have never seen such a big battle! You and Her Royal Highness Katerina ascended the throne on the same day , is it really okay?”
"Being on the throne on the same day represents our determination to work together and avoid extravagance and waste..." Mavey said: "The financial situation of the Romanov Kingdom is very tight now, and it is not appropriate to spend too much on unnecessary things. , the money should be saved and spent on restoring infrastructure.”
"How much does it cost to hold a coronation ceremony...The key is to stimulate the economy, increase consumption power, and make the money flowing into the market work...Father, you don't understand..."
Dino was complaining, but his face was full of smiles: "No matter what, at least we have made it to today, Your Majesty the Pope..."
"I still like people to call me priest. The title of Pope is too cold."
"How majestic the Pope is! The only and supreme ruler. You voted unanimously a few days ago. Everyone recognizes your status!"
"I am the founder of the church...If I cannot be the pope, it would be too disqualifying..."
Ma Wei came to the window, looked at the overwhelming crowd that surrounded the Red Square, and said quietly: "Being the Pope is not the end, it is just the beginning. Now, our all-out struggle with the Apocalypse God System has officially begun."
"dad!"
Wearing a small white dress, small leather boots, and traces of cream on the corners of her mouth, Yunia ran into the prayer hall on tiptoes, took Mavey's hand and said: "Uncle Levin said it's almost time, over there at the Kremlin You’re ready, it’s time to start!”
"Then let's go..."
Dino brought a red cloak and helped Mavey put it on. The beautifully embroidered hem of the cloak stretched long on the ground. He bent down to wipe away the traces of cream on the corner of Yunia's mouth, took her little hand, and Mavey walked out of the church. .
Wow——
The moment the figure appeared at the door of the church, an amazing noise erupted on the Red Square. I don't know how many people came today. Wyson, Scott King, Goncharov... They were all in the crowd, excited. Then he looked expectantly at Ma Wei, who was wearing a silver crown.
The flag of truth and the two-headed lion flag of the Romanov Kingdom were flying over the Red Square. A golden crown was placed on a high platform built in advance.
Several monks stepped forward and held up the hem of Mavey's cloak. Under the gaze of countless eyes, Mavey led Yunia to the high platform and stood there. The believers kept shouting the name of 'Mavey'. In the crowd, Occasionally, cats can be seen walking around.

【Father Mavey】【】
In order to prevent another assassination incident from happening again, Fat Orange led the Cat Legion, combined with Bodelinov's secret intelligence organization and the Guards to form three fronts, and patrolled secretly among the crowd, leaving no chance for the assassins.
The musical instruments suddenly played, and Katerina, also wearing a cloak, appeared in the Kremlin.
The crowd fell silent. Under the sun, the jewelry on Katerina's body shone brightly. She walked slowly onto the high platform and stood in front of Ma Wei. With their eyes facing each other, Katerina showed a meaningful smile on her lips and kneeled on one knee. Kneel down and lower your head.
"I, Mavy Enders, the first pope of the Church of Truth, recognize the legitimacy of Katerina Romanov as the heir of the kingdom, and at the instruction of the goddess, in the name of the goddess of truth, Yunia, grant He has the status of a Romanov king..."
Mavey picked up the golden crown and put it on Katerina's head: "From today on, Katerina Romanov, you will become Mosk, Kiev, Vladimir, Novrod The kings and rulers of the principalities, the queens of the Kazan, Astrakhan, and Siberian Khanates, the Grand Dukes of the principalities of Estonia Strand, Rivland, Tverskaya, Pskov, Chernigov, Rostow Husband, Prince of Gersk, Successor Queen and Possessor.”
"If you can uphold the truth, bring a warm wind of prosperity to the people of the Romanov Kingdom, and make Romanov's name famous in the world and be recognized by the world, then..."
"I will give you the title of emperor!"
Katerina stood up, faced the crowd on Red Square, put her arm into her cloak, pulled out a long knife, and shouted: "Light shine on Romanov!"
"Ula!!!"
"Ula!!!"
The crowd once again burst into cheers that resounded throughout the sky. After many years, they once again welcomed the Pope and the king respected by all people. Just like the golden light shining on the crown, everyone believed that Romanov's tomorrow... ..
It will be filled with light!
The second volume is finished.
