Chapter 626： Boris abdicates

After the political chaos in Bulgaria reached its peak with Edel's entry, the country's media would naturally not ignore it. In addition to excluding newspapers and radio stations that are affected by both sides, the neutral media reports are very interesting.

For example, Sofia Kommersant, which has a good influence in Bulgaria, reported on Edel's whereabouts.

"The Romanian thief entered Bulgaria."

"The King of Romania has arrived in Veliko Tarnovo."

"Eder I of Romania arrived in Pleven."

"King Edel has arrived in Ferrazar."

"His Majesty Edel has arrived in the capital, Sofia, and the government officials who stayed behind have sent someone to receive it."

From the change of attitude in the newspaper, we can see the current changes in the minds of Bulgarians. As Edel gets closer and closer to Sofia, the attitude of many neutral people has also changed.

Among them, the most uncomfortable is Boris III. As a king, no one wants to see a man forced to arrive in his capital.

But now the Bulgarian people obviously have forgotten themselves and ran to meet the new king. There is no respect for himself, the true king, as if no one remembers himself.

In fact, the situation is worse than this.

"What did Chairman Bolidoev say?"

Boris III didn't wait for the head of the bodyguard, Ballerkov, who hurried back to speak, and asked first with a look of hope.

Facing the look of his monarch's expectations, the confidant Baolerkov dodged his eyes and replied. "Your Majesty, I haven't seen Chairman Bolidoev. I heard that he has gone to discuss the incident with others."

Boris III's words and expressions of his confidant Ballerkov had already guessed it. I saw him waved weakly and motioned.

"Buff, I know, go down."

Looking at his lord, who was paralyzed in a chair, Ballerkov wanted to say something comforting but didn't know how to say it.

Seeing the hesitation of his head guard, Boris didn't even know his thoughts.

"I'm fine, Buff. Don't worry about me, I just want to be quiet for a while."

Borerkov, who was seen through, had to retreat, leaving only Boris III who wanted peace.

When only Boris III was left alone, tears welled up in his eyes, he was unwilling to be driven out of Bulgaria by his family. When his father was the prince of the Saxon Kokhali family, the Bulgarians requested their father to be the king of Bulgaria. Boris thought that the father and son had done their best with Bulgaria. However, the situation was helpless. The loss of the second Balkan War and the wrong team in World War I caused the kingdom to suffer heavy losses and the national self-confidence suffered heavy losses.

And in keeping with the development of the times, he also left the power to the government. Unexpectedly, they were already dissatisfied and wanted to replace themselves. This made Boris III heartbroken, feeling that his mind was randomly played with by the group of politicians. Now even stalwart nationalists such as Pauli Doyev are reluctant to meet with him, and perhaps should consider a decent departure.

When Boris III was thinking about it, his younger brother Prince Kirill and his wife Joanna also found the Chief Guard Ballerkov outside the door.

"Buff, you said my husband was alone in it."

"Yes, Queen. The king wants to be alone and doesn't want to be disturbed."

Facing Princess Joanna’s inquiry, the head of the guard, Baolerkov, told the truth. This Princess Joanna is the third daughter of King Vittorio Emmanuele III of Italy and his wife, Princess Elena of Montenegro. The two married in 1930.

Now facing this situation, Queen Joanna is also worried about it. Later, she found her husband's younger brother, Prince Kirill, and discussed with him about the survival of the family in Bulgaria. The Prince Kirill was naturally dissatisfied with the current situation, so the two planned to discuss with Boris again. And now hearing the words of the head of the guard, Baolerkov, made the two feel that Boris had the mind to give up about the current situation, and naturally they needed to dispel his thoughts.

"This can't work. At present, Edel from Romania is almost coming to Sofia. We must meet my brother."

Kirill, as the prince, has a more determined attitude than his brother Boris. Make up my mind to meet Boris.

"but……"

"It's nothing. At this juncture, as the patriarch of the family, he needs his decision."

The noise at the door eventually attracted Boris's attention.

"Buff, let them in."

As Boris's voice fell, Princess Joanna and Prince Kirill finally met the king.

However, the state of the Bulgarian king is not very good, which makes his wife Joanna very concerned.

"Boris, what's the matter with you?"

"It's okay, I'm fine. It's just a little tired. Just take a rest at that time."

Facing Joanna's concern, Boris comforted his wife.

As the younger brother, Prince Kirill, was not so patient anymore. I saw him speak with an anxious look on his face. "Brother, now Edel is almost reaching Sofia, we must find a way to stop it."

Boris looked at Kirill and asked nonchalantly. "Then what's your idea?"

Prince Kirill made a suggestion. "The best way at the moment is to prevent Edel from reaching Sophia. For this reason, I can find an officer in the army who is still loyal to the royal family, and take the opportunity to assassinate Edel on his way.

Seeing his brother's answer to the assassination, Boris showed a disappointed expression.

"Just assassinate Edel, and then invite the help of other countries to resist Romania."

Seeing Boris's disappointed expression, Kirill quickly added a sentence.

Boris shook his head and denied his suggestion.

The idea of ​​sending someone to assassinate Edel is really disappointing. Is a country's monarch so easy to assassinate? Regardless of other reasons, just being close to him makes people feel a headache. And the consequences, has his younger brother really considered it?

At that time, can you resist Romania’s anger by relying on the help of other countries, and how other countries are working so hard to help Bulgaria? This is a question that people will know without thinking about it.

So he answered without hesitation. "Brother, I don't know who gave you the advice behind it. But this advice is impossible to achieve, so don't mention it."

When Joanna saw this situation, she stepped forward to suggest. "If you don't ask for help from Italy, I can ask my father for help."

Boris faced his wife's suggestion and explained bitterly. "Joanna, no need. Italy can't help us. It's not bad if we don't fall into trouble."

Yes, in the eyes of Boris III, the wife's suggestion is even more unreliable. The younger brother's suggestion must come from an external force, and they are totally uneasy. Whether it is successful or unsuccessful, it will cause turmoil in Bulgaria to intensify. And to ask for help from Italy, I'm afraid it's not going to be sold.

But Boris III looked at his younger brother and his wife, and finally said his plan. "Needless to say, I already have an idea, and I will announce my abdication. Since the Bulgarians no longer welcome us, then we will leave."

"brother……"

"Boris..."

Hearing what Boris III said, Prince Kirill and Joanna were shocked, and both spoke to stop them.

Boris reached out his hand to stop what they wanted to say. "Stop talking, I have considered this idea. This is the best choice for our family. Since it is driven away by others, it is better for us to take the initiative and let the family retain the last trace of dignity."
