Chapter 198： New king

With the death of Carol I, the Romanian people also fell into grief. Three days later, in the state funeral for the king, more than 200,000 people took to the streets spontaneously to express condolences for the monarch who led Romania to independence.

What needs to be pointed out is that because of the outbreak of war in Europe, and the short preparation time for this funeral. Therefore, there are few foreign monarchs. Only his cousin, King Constantine I of Greece, came to participate. Other countries sent special envoys or replaced them by ambassadors. Now the regent Crown Prince Edel did not express his dissatisfaction with this, because Romania itself did not act aggressively for this reason.

After sending off an old king, Romania will also welcome a new king. Those guests who came from afar to attend the king’s funeral will change into dark clothes that represent sorrow and change into a festive dress. Some can also participate in Egypt. Del's coronation ceremony.

Just the day after the burial of the old King Carol I, on October 14th, at the Romanian Parliament Building, Edel was about to be crowned King of Romania.

Why is it crowned in the Romanian Parliament? This cannot fail to mention Edel’s father, Carol I. Previously, because the Romanian Parliament invited Carol, who was still a prince, to be the King of Romania, and he was crowned in the Parliament, as the successor of the old king, Edel also had to be crowned in the Parliament. For the crown prince, this is just a procedural issue, and to take care of the deputies who have few real powers now, it is no big deal to satisfy them.

"Hurry up, the Prime Minister is still waiting for me outside. He needs to be in Parliament before 9:10."

Edel couldn't help but urge as the servants added pendants to their clothes. Now he is wearing the royal orthodox dress, it looks like he came from the Middle Ages, which makes him feel weird.

"Your Majesty will be fine soon, only this belt pendant is left."

took out a sapphire pendant for Edel's busy servant and told him.

After finally letting the servants work, Edel walked to the next room and saw that there was a servant beside his wife Sophie Marie taking care of the skirt, so he asked. "how long will it take?"

The servant who just finished the skirt replied. "Your Majesty is fine."

Edel Limara told his wife. "It's time for us to go, or the Prime Minister will have to wait if he wants."

Today, Edel woke up at 7 am for the coronation ceremony, but these traditional royal dresses were too cumbersome to put on. He stood in front of the mirror for almost an hour, and now he took his wife with him.

The Prime Minister who was waiting at the door looked at the Edels and hurriedly talked about it. "His Royal Highness, let's go, time is not enough."

In the face of his prime minister, Edel spoke politely. "Sorry for the waitting."

"Then let's get in the car."

Several people got into the royal motorcade and rushed to the parliament under the leadership of the Janissaries.

When they arrived at the parliament, the time was almost up. Edel took his wife into the parliament hall. Here he will receive the crown and scepter from the President of Parliament Jan Snecuk to represent Romania, and will be sworn to become the king.

Coronation Ceremony In the music of Romania’s national anthem, President of Parliament Jan Snecuk stood on the podium that had been prepared for a long time and addressed the surrounding members of Parliament. "The Kingdom of Romania has moved towards independence and prosperity under the leadership of His Majesty Carol I, but His Majesty has left us to go to heaven, so we need a new king. Now Crown Prince Edel is the king we need. He is smart, hardworking, and very good. Ability, everyone who has been sitting in the past few years should feel that the crown prince has worked hard for Romania. So we now unanimously cheer the new Romanian king."

Under the leadership of the President of Parliament, Jan Snecook, the MPs present all called the crown prince’s name.

"Your Majesty Edel."

"Your Majesty Edel."

"Your Majesty Edel."

Eder also walked onto the podium at their call. He smiled and raised his hands in tribute to the surrounding councillors. When Edel walked to Speaker Jan Snecook, the members were quiet.

Speaker Jan Snecook said to Edel, holding the crown in his hand. "I hand over to you the crown that represents the Romanian people, and hope that Romania will become stronger and stronger under your leadership."

Edel said after taking the crown. "I will make Romania proud of me. I will also make Romania better than before."

After speaking, he put the crown on his head, and then took the scepter. Speaker Jan Snecook then knelt on one knee and stroked his chest, vowing to Edel. "I would like to follow your Majesty and fight for Romania's ideals. May the light of the Kingdom of Romania shine on this land."

All the deputies present were also sworn with the speaker. No matter how dissatisfied they are with the royal family taking power away, they must now respect the new king, and they also hope that the new king can leave them some residue of power.

Edel knows too much about the thoughts of these congressmen. In his previous life, he did not miss the negative news about the parliament and the previous government also had its own characteristic members, namely the people's representative, also called the representative of raising hands. With this example, Edel is actually not interested in democratic politics. He will not consider it until he is old, but these people are afraid that they will not see the scene.

After they took the oath, Edel brought a smaller crown to his wife Sophie Marie. At this time the ceremony has come to an end, and the Patriarch Baldochven I blessed the new king on behalf of God.

At 10:30, Edel appeared on the balcony with his wife Sophie Marie, dressed in a costume robe, a crown, and a scepter, waving to the people waiting outside the Parliament Square. The warmth ignited by the enthusiastic people by Edel was cheering and paying homage to the new king, and the scene was momentarily lively.

At this lively moment, Prime Minister Bresyanu whispered to the new king. "The representatives of various countries hope to visit your Majesty privately. I don't know how to answer?"

Edel did not reply to the Prime Minister. He waited until he returned to the house to reply. "Just say I work too much now. Apart from congratulating, I have no other ideas for the time being.

Edel knew that this was another trick to win Romania and leaning on himself. He really didn’t think about joining this war now. Isn’t it good for Romania now? It’s good to earn money from the war to supplement Romania’s strength. Up. We must know that in the first three years, millions of people died on the two sides and they did not produce results. It is estimated that the situation in Romania will be turbulent if the size of Romania is 500,000. He is not so stupid.

After Edel spoke, Prime Minister Bretianu knew what to do. In this case, he also thinks that it is too early to join the battlefield, so let's talk about it after a little development.
