Chapter 1- The Beginning (I)

[19 of july 1914] 

In a beautiful room almost made of gold, and field with people dressed up in the most expensive of clothes. They were all watching a young beautiful boy being crowned the new emperor of the Muscovite Empire. Today wasn't just a special day because a new emperor was being crowned but because today was also his fourteen birthday. And in the Muscovite Empire the youngest age the emperor can be is fourteen years old.

"Today, I Ecumenical Patriarch Parthenius V, declare that Prince Alexei Romanov will be crowned Emperor Alexei Romanov I, of the Muscovite Empire. May god help you my emperor so that you can bring our nation into a new golden age. LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

The crowd of hundreds shouted my name while I, just like Napoleon did in my world, picked up the imperial crown and put it on top of my head. I then walked to the balcony with my family behind me and when the imperial guards opened the doors a massive crowd of 15-20 million people were waiting for me. And when they saw me with the imperial crown on top of my head they all began to shout my name. 

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI."

I then waved my hand up signaling to the crowd below to be silent. And as they stopped shouting my name I spoked. 

"My people. For many generations our nation has been in a state of decadence because of corrupted rulers and government officials, who only cared of how to put money in their pockets, instead of how to rule our beautiful nation and its beautiful people so that we surpass the western Empires and Monarchies. BUT THAT ENDS TODAY. For I will make sure that all the corrupted rats in our nation who only work for their own benefits and not our nation's benefits will be arrested and put on trial…"

As I said does last words, hundreds of imperial guards appeared out of nowhere and started to arrest nobles left and right. Those that were not arrested looked confused at what was going on, in the crowd below confused faces could be seen. Even my family was looking confused. But without a care in the world I continue. 

"... As you can see, these corrupted nobles , some of them were working with foreign powers to weaken our nation from within, for their own greed and ambition. They didn't care about our nation or our people, they just cared about their own pockets that were being filled with foreign money so that they could live a life of luxury while our people, YOU, starve in the streets of our glorious nation."

At this the crowd below started to scream and to express their thoughts.

"HANG THEM"

"FEED THEM TO THE DOGS"

"BURN THEM ALIVE"

I again put my hand in the air so that the people would stop screaming. And after a bit they all went silent and looked at me. This time I was smiling.

"For their crimes they will lose all their titles and treasures, and it will be given to loyal nobles who want the best for the future of our nation and its people. They themselves will not be spared, no no no, they will go to court to be judged. If they are found not guilty for selling their nation to foreign powers then they will be left to live, but they will live the rest of their miserable lives as serfs in the mines of the Ural mountains. But if they are found guilty then they are going to be hanged in front of the Kremlin, in a public execution."

At this the crowd of nobles including my family members were shook, with horror on their faces. While the crowd below were shouting my name at the top of their lungs. 

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

I decided to let them shout my name a few more times before I spoke again.

"And so, I promise you my people that I will bring our empire into a new golden age that will surpass the west and by the end of my reign the Muscovite Empire will be the biggest, the strongest, and the most powerful in terms of economy that our allies will kneel in front of us and kiss the ground that we as Muscovians have walked, and our enemies will tremble in fear when they hear our great nations name that will forever be marked in the history of our world. LONG LIVE MUSCOVITE. LONG LIFE THE ROMANOV NAME."

With that the people started to shout once again

"LONG LIVE MUSCOVITE. LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE MUSCOVITE. LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE MUSCOVITE. LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE MUSCOVITE. LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

"LONG LIVE MUSCOVITE. LONG LIVE TSAR ALEXEI THE PROTECTOR OF THE EMPIRE."

And with that I turned around and started to walk through the same doors of witch had led me to the balcony. When the doors closed being me I turned my eyes to the people that were in front of me and said. "Should we get going? We shouldn't let the food at the banquet get cold, should we?"

After a few minutes of walking through the massive palace we finally reached the banquet hall and when we got there I instructed the servants that every guest should have a drink in their hands. After a few minutes of waiting for everyone to get inside the banquet hall I decided to speak. 

"My dear guests, friends, and last but not least family. It is an honor to have you all in this room to celebrar not just my coronation as the New Tsar but to have you all here on my fourteen birthday. It truly brings warmth to my heart. But I can see that some of you are nervous about what happened early with the other nobles, but fear not, as they were traitors not just to this nation but to this nation's people and that it's unforgivable. So I just want to say something before we begin our banquet. Be loyal to me and trust me, and I will give you riches beyond anything that your imagination could ever imagine. But, if you ever decide to betray me or try to sell our nation to foreign powers like those cowards before, you will have the worst and most painful lives imaginable to the point that you will beg me for death but I will never give it to you. Did I make myself clear?" 

At this revelation the remaining nobles were with pure fear running through their minds. Fear that would make sure that they would never dare to betray me in the near future.

"Good. Now, let the banquet begin!" I said, gesturing to the food. After that I sat myself in my throne surrounded by my family. This throne belonged to my late father so my mothers seat was still at my side which I didn't mind. Followed by four more seats and another five seats on the opposite side of my mothers side. Each one of the seats was for one of my sisters, as I was the fifth child of the late Tsar and also the only male.

As I was seated in my throne with every family member on their respective seats, I said "You can go and get something to eat if you want. You don't have to stay seated besides me all the time."

At this my younger sister Natalia said " Then, can we go to the garden to play big brother?"

"Of course you can little sister." I said, while caressing her left cheek, "But you have to come to your big brother first, and give him a kiss." I said while pointing to my own cheek.

At this all my five younger sisters jumped and came running to me and started to give my cheeks kisses and saying.

"Thank you big brother"

"Thank you big brother"

"Thank you big brother"

"Thank you big brother"

"Thank you big brother you are the best"

"Now, Go on before I change my mind and decide to hug you for the rest of the day"

At this the girls started to giggle and running to the garden. I could ear my mother and other sisters giggling too, and I started to remember my journey to this point and time. Since I was reborn to the point that I was crowned Tsar. But I also started to imagine what I would do in the future with all of this power that I have now, and all the things that I would change in the future for the best of this empire and its people.
