Romanian Eagle

Chapter 198 The New King

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

It should be pointed out that because of the outbreak of war in Europe now, and the short preparation time for this funeral. Therefore, there are few foreign monarchs. Only the cousin, King Constantine I of Greece, came to participate. Other countries sent special envoys or replaced them by ambassadors. Now the regent Crown Prince Eder has not expressed dissatisfaction with this, because Romania itself has not made any arrangements for this reason.

After sending off an old king, Romania will also welcome a new king. These guests who have come from afar to attend the king's funeral will change into dark clothes that represent heavy sadness and change into festive ones, and some can participate in Egypt. Del's coronation.

Just the day after the burial of the old king Carol I, on October 14, at the Romanian Parliament building, Eder was preparing to be crowned king of Romania.

Why would he be crowned in the Romanian Parliament, this cannot fail to mention Edel's father, Carol I. Before, because the Romanian parliament invited Carol, who was still a prince at the time, to be the king of Romania, and he was crowned in the parliament, so as the successor of the old king, Eder also had to be crowned in the parliament. For the crown prince, this is just a procedural issue, and in order to take care of the parliamentarians who do not have much real power now, it is no big deal to satisfy them.

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

Edel watched the servants add pendants to their clothes and couldn't help urging. Now he's wearing a royal dress and looks like he's from the Middle Ages, which makes him feel weird.

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

The servant who was busy for Edel took out a sapphire pendant and told him.

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

The servant who had just adjusted the skirt replied. "Your Majesty is all right."

Edel Lima spoke with his wife. "We should go, or the Prime Minister will have to wait."

Today Edel got up at 7 am for the coronation ceremony, but it was too cumbersome to put on these traditional royal dresses, which made him stand 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 quickly stepped forward to speak. "His Royal Highness, let's go, time is not enough."

Facing his prime minister, Edel said politely. "sorry to keep you waiting."

"Then let's get in the car."

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

By the time they got to Parliament, the time was running out. Edel walked into the parliament hall with his wife. Here he will receive the crown and scepter given by the Speaker of Parliament Jan Snekuk to represent Romania, and will be sworn in as king.

During the coronation ceremony to the music of the Romanian national anthem, the Speaker of Parliament Jan Snekuk stood on the prepared podium and addressed the surrounding MPs. "The Kingdom of Romania has become independent and prosperous under the leadership of His Majesty Carol I, but His Majesty left us to go to heaven, so we need a new king. Now Crown Prince Eder is the king we need, he is smart, diligent, and very good Ability, everyone who has been sitting again in the past few years should feel that the crown prince has worked hard for Romania. So we are now unanimously cheering the new king of Romania. "

Led by the Speaker of Parliament Jan Snekuk, the members present all shouted the name of the Crown Prince in unison.

"Your Majesty Edel."

"Your Majesty Edel."

"Your Majesty Edel."

Edel also walked up to the ceremony platform under their call, and he raised his hands to the surrounding MPs with a smile. The MPs fell silent when Edel walked up to Speaker Jan Snekuk.

Speaker Jan Snekuk spoke to Eder with the crown in hand. "I hand over the crown representing the Romanian people to you. I hope that under your leadership, Romania will become stronger and stronger."

Edel took the crown and spoke. "I will make Romania proud of me. I will also make Romania better than before."

After he finished speaking, he put the crown on his head, and then took the scepter. Speaker Jan Snekuk then knelt down on one knee and stroked his chest and swore an oath to Edel. "I would like to follow His Majesty to fight for Romania's ideals, and may the light of the Kingdom of Romania shine on this land."

Along with the Speaker's oath were all the members present. No matter how dissatisfied they are usually with the royal family taking power away, they must now be respectful to the new king, and they also hope that the new king will leave them some residue of power.

Edel knows all too well what these congressmen are thinking. In his previous life, he had seen a lot of negative news about the parliament, and the previous government also had its own special member of parliament, the people's representative, also called the hand-raised representative. With this example, Edel is actually not interested in democratic politics. It is estimated that he will consider it when he is old, but these people are afraid that they will not see that scene.

After they took the oath, Edel took a smaller crown to his wife Sophie Mary's head. At this time, the ceremony had come to an end, and Patriarch Bardokwen I blessed the new king on behalf of God.

At 10:30, Eder appeared on the balcony with his wife, Sophie Marie, dressed in full robes, a crown, and a scepter, waving to the crowd waiting outside Parliament Square. The enthusiastic people were ignited by Eder, and they all cheered and paid their respects to the new king, and the scene was very lively for a while.

At this lively moment, Prime Minister Brescianu whispered to the new king. "Representatives from all countries hope to visit His Majesty in private, but don't know how to answer?"

Eder did not reply to the Prime Minister, and he did not reply until he returned to the house. "Let's just say that I'm working too much right now, and I don't have any ideas other than congratulations."

Eder knows that this is another trick to win over Romania. He really has not thought about joining this war now. Isn't it good for Romania to earn some war money from both sides to supplement Romania's strength? . You must know that in the past three years, millions of people died between the two parties and there was no result. As far as Romania's body weight was 500,000, it was estimated that the situation would be turbulent. He was not that stupid.

After Edel's speech, Prime Minister Bretianu knew what to do. Now he also thinks it is too early to join the battlefield in this situation, so let's talk about it in development.
