The godfather refers to the person who guarantees and assumes the religious education of an infant or young child when he is baptized. In Europe, the godfather of most royal members is usually another royal member, which may be from his or her own country or another country.

Nicholas II's request slightly surprised Roy. He stared at the sincere-looking man in his thirties in front of him, and seemed to see something in his tired eyes.

It is now the beginning of the 20th century. Democracy and freedom are the main themes of this era, and the feudal imperial Romanov dynasty is already in turmoil. Today's Tsarist Russia has extremely acute internal conflicts, and various demonstrations and uprisings occur from time to time. This man Nicholas II may have had a bad premonition, so he hoped that Roy, the Orthodox Patriarch, could become the godfather of his youngest daughter.

In this era of pursuing democracy and freedom, the prestige and influence of royal families in Europe are declining to a minimum. However, no matter how the political landscape of the world changes, the status of Christianity will never change, especially in this world. The Crusaders hold mysteries, and Roy's appearance is considered a miracle. Only Nicholas II wanted to use this method to find a way for his youngest daughter to be protected.

‘Not a good emperor, but a good father. '

Roy came to his own conclusion for the Tsar.

Then under Nicholas II's pleading and expectant eyes, Roy smiled and said:"……This is my first baptism as a clergyman, which shows the fate between me and Her Royal Highness Princess Anastasia. Since the Lord has allowed us to meet here, I should respond to the Lord’s expectations."

This sentence undoubtedly agreed to Nicholas II's request.

The Tsar breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his thick beard. The hand that was rubbing his trouser legs due to nervousness was also vertical, and his whole person changed. cheer up

"Alexandra, please give our baby to her godfather to be baptized."

The Tsar hurriedly urged his wife.

The Queen, who was holding the child, immediately stepped forward and gently delivered the baby girl wrapped in silk into Roy's hands. However, when the graceful Queen looked at Roy, her eyes were filled with excitement. Yiyi has an indescribable smell, just like the eyes of those aristocratic young women and girls looking at Roy.

These Russian aristocratic women are really bold.

Roy pretended not to notice her expression, and took over the swaddling clothes He lowered his head and looked at Anastasia in the middle. Although the one-year-old child was not as wrinkled, numb and cracked as when she was just born, it was not round at all, making people want to touch her. As for how to tell whether the future is a beauty or something, it is even more impossible.

The princess of Tsarist Russia has beautiful eyes as beautiful as sapphires. She was lying in silk and she was"clucking" after seeing Roy. He laughed, and his chubby little hands grabbed hard, making Roy shake his hands subconsciously, as if he were letting a baby lie in a cradle. There was almost no hair on the baby's head, only light fluff. , but from the light fluff, Roy could tell that the princess would definitely have beautiful silver hair in the future.

He subconsciously looked up at the emperor and queen. Neither of them had silver hair, although Roy knew that the moon world was not a normal world, but this inheritance method was too weird.

Thinking of this, he touched his silver hair again, and secretly muttered in his heart: I swear to the Lord, this queen and I will It really doesn’t matter, this is the first time I see her!

"Your holy breath makes Anna stop crying. This little girl is a crybaby, more so than her sisters. She always cries when she is in my arms, and it is difficult to coax her to sleep every time."

Seeing Anastasia who was neither crying nor fussing in Roy's arms, but just smiling all the time, Her Majesty the Queen's eyes showed a trace of motherly love, and she whispered to Roy.

"Haha, this just shows Anna’s love for her godfather. All of this must be the Lord’s instruction and is witnessed by Him!"

Nicholas II laughed loudly. This emperor was very good at talking. In a few sentences, he turned his rhetoric to religion, which directly brought the relationship between the princess and Roy closer.

"Yes, it must be the Lord’s will for me to meet this child!"

Roy responded softly. He teased the baby in his arms with his hands. He smiled when he saw the young princess grabbing his hand and biting it in her toothless mouth.

The baby was like a white sheet. Paper is so pure and pure, as if it is not contaminated by original sin, it will arouse the love of everyone

"The christening ceremony can begin, Your Majesty!"

Roy carried the princess and walked to the pure golden baptismal font inlaid with many gems, while the tsar and his queen pulled the other three daughters back. This important religious ceremony even if he is the emperor, There can't be any overstep

"He who believes and is baptized will be saved, and he who does not believe will be condemned!"

Roy stood in front of the baptismal font with the princess in his arms. He recited passages from the Gospel of Mark loudly.

Being baptized means washing away all sins and becoming holy with the precious blood of Christ. It means dying and being buried with the Lord. , live together, it is in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit that he expresses his recognition of the Trinity God, belongs to His name, and participates in His life.

Roy first dipped his fingers into some clean water in the basin, He made a sign of the cross on the forehead of the princess in his arms, and then he grabbed the princess's chubby legs, lifted her out of the silk and hung her upside down to show others, and the princess who had been calm before immediately said,"Wow!" Crying loudly.

Seeing Roy's slightly rough action, neither the Tsar nor the guests watching below felt any discomfort, but took it for granted.

Yes, our fighting nation must be different even if we are baptized , what you want is this sense of fighting!

If Roy knew what these people were thinking, he would definitely complain. Nicholas II was a German, not a Slav!

"Lord, our God, our Savior who laid down his life for the Church, thank you! Today, in front of you and all the witnesses, we hold a baptism ceremony for these friends who have listened to the gospel and become your children. Please come and bless us!"

"……Lord, it is You who inspired Your servants to preach and convince these people that the Lord loves them. Since You have moved them to have this idea of ​​joining the church, please strengthen them until eternity and protect today’s people according to Your promise. Baptism ceremony, so that both the baptizer and the baptized may be blessed in your presence. We pray this in the name of our Lord Christ, Amen!"

"Amen!"

"Amen!"

"……"

As Roy recited the baptismal prayer, all the spectators, including the Tsar, bowed their heads to show respect for the Lord, made the sign of the cross on their chests, and shouted 'Amen'.

Then, people saw the miracle coming, and the crowd began to commotion. A cross halo appeared above Roy's head, and six wings like flames floated behind him into the endless distance and void. He was majestic in religious robes. The solemnity really turned into an angel descending to the mortal world. The majestic and holy breath that represented the Lord made the summer palace of the tsar seem to have turned into heaven.

Many believers, those with shallow faith turned into deep faith. Those with deep faith knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, chanting the name of the Lord loudly.

Roy, on the other hand, grabbed the crying princess and stuffed her into the big basin in front of him.

"GuluGulu——"

That was the sound of the princess spitting bubbles as she was submerged in the water and unable to breathe.

"Wow——————"

That was the pitiful cry of the princess after she was lifted out of the basin.

This is the baptism ceremony of the fighting nation.

After three times in a row, the young princess finally lost the strength to cry. At this time, the queen lowered her head, walked up to the sacred figure, and held the princess who had completed the baptism ceremony in awe. Place in a new clean silk cloth.

Roy looked at the praying and respectful figures under his"God-Seeing Face", and he knew that his new journey in the moon world had begun.

‘He's just getting more and more awesome. ’ he muttered to himself.
