When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent!

——Famous French thinker Voltaire

……

July 1918, at the home of a businessman in Yekaterinburg.

The Tsar's family of seven temporarily lives here. Since the Duma Provisional Parliament was overthrown again last year and a certain great teacher became the leader of this country, the Tsar and his family were brought here from Siberia.

As in the past, the life of the Tsar's family is still under surveillance. There is no absolute freedom, but there is no danger to life for the time being. The supervisors have changed a group of people. The group of people who once belonged directly to the Provisional Duma Assembly have followed The fall of Parliament has left, and the new watchers are not as greedy as the previous batch, interested in the jewelry that the Tsar's family may have hidden, but they are more stringent in their surveillance.

Napoleon could make a comeback after being exiled. Although Nicholas II was not as great as the consul, this new country was still as weak as a child. It had already paid a huge price to escape the war. It could not survive the war.The old nobles were causing trouble internally, so the surveillance of the Tsar's family became extremely strict, for fear that they would contact their former subordinates.

The Tsar's family has become accustomed to this kind of strict surveillance. Although this house in Yekaterinburg is not as magnificent as the palace, it is enough for a family of seven to live in. It has ample space for activities, and the clothes on it are no longer gorgeous. But in this cold country, the rustic clothes they wear, like military coats, make people feel warmer.

If you don’t want to eat caviar like in the past, someone will travel a long way from the Black Sea to bring it. However, the level of three meals a day is far higher than that of ordinary people. There is no need to worry about the possibility of starvation. Whether it is the past emperors, Queens are still princes and princesses, and they are not so picky and willful that they would refuse food from the common people.

"As long as this is the case, I will be satisfied with living a prosperous and peaceful life as I am now."

Nicholas II said this. Now he feels a sense of relief. He has left the position of the Tsar. Only his family is left in his life. On the contrary, people feel a kind of happiness that they have never experienced before.

It's just that Nicholas Ra II vaguely felt that things would not end like this. In his twenty years as czar, he had committed too many mistakes. His hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people, and he also had The blood of countless soldiers was shed during the short period of time he was czar, and he experienced the Russo-Japanese War and World War I. The country, which was already backward in technology and economy, lost in these two wars. The consequences have all been borne by the ordinary people.

But the Tsar's family is still living a life of luxury in the palace. Can this sinful family really live the rest of their lives in peace?

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent. The princes and princesses who once wore gold and silver and lived a prosperous life, even if they were not direct executioners, their food and clothing expenses were all made up of the blood and flesh of innocent people. No one can refute this.

Nicholas II also knew clearly that the reason why he was still alive was because the tsar's remaining power was still there. The new regime did not want his death to bring turmoil to the old forces, but the new regime would definitely find a way to bring the old forces into chaos. His last feudal evil was eliminated.

All he lacks now is an excuse.

"Mikhail is dead……"

In the study, Nicholas II sat on a chair and told the news calmly and painfully.

Mikhail was his younger brother. Nicholas II once wanted to retain the power of the Tsar, so he prepared to pass the position of Tsar to his younger brother. However, the smart Mikhail refused this dangerous position. When the Tsar's family was sent to Siberia, Mikhail was also sent to Perm, but he did not expect that Mikhail did not escape this catastrophe in the end.

"When did His Highness Prince Mikhail die?"

Queen Alexandra, standing next to Nicholas II, asked worriedly

"He died just last month. I just learned the news now... My mother has left here and returned to Denmark. I don't blame her. At this time, she is no longer capable of saving us. She is so old. , she should be able to enjoy her long life, and it is already the sin of us children to let her experience such a thing. Nicholas

II said tiredly. His mother was once a princess of Denmark. At this time, escaping this dangerous country and returning to Denmark can also ensure his own safety.

"The direct royal bloodline is almost dead, and now we are the only ones left."

The former Tsar said bitterly. Over the past year, many members of the royal family had been secretly executed. He had vaguely sensed the coming storm. The

Romanov dynasty began with Ivan the Terrible and ended with Nicholas II. And died, Ivan the Terrible's queen was named Anastasia, and the last princess of the Romanov dynasty was also named Anastasia. It must be said that this is like a reincarnation of fate.

"His Majesty……"

Queen Alexandra came to Nicholas II's back worriedly and gently pressed his temples with her fingers, hoping to relieve him of the huge pressure and fatigue.

"Don’t worry, my beloved wife, I have already anticipated some things and have made final preparations in advance. It’s just that I have been looking forward to the arrival of a miracle so that our family can spend the rest of our lives safely. I am the one who has caused you all to suffer. It's my fault. If I hadn't been greedy for power back then, if I had taken the initiative to give up power ten years ago and learn from the Britain of my cousin George V, we wouldn't have……"

Nicholas II's eyes turned red, he said passionately, grabbed the queen's hand and kissed her gently on the back of her hand.

"Your Majesty, please don't say these depressing words. Neither I nor the children will blame you."

Queen Alexandra hugged her husband and said comfortingly.

"Being able to marry you is my greatest happiness in this life. You were supposed to be a queen who was loved by the people, but you ended up like this because of me."

Nicholas II was excited and said uncontrollably.

Queen Alexandra just shook her head. She didn't say anything more. She just hugged her emperor.

After a while, Nicholas II calmed down a lot. He Asked in a low voice:"……Are the children asleep?"

"Yes, Your Majesty! You require all children to go to bed before 10:30 p.m., and they are obedient and have always followed your instructions."

"Yes, they are a group of good children. It's almost half past eleven. Let's go to rest. As parents, we must set an example and not stay up late."

Nicholas II took out the pocket watch in his arms and took a look. He didn't expect that he had been in the study for so long.

Just when the emperor and the empress were about to go to bed, there was a sudden knock on the door in the study.

The couple He opened the door and saw three people standing at the door. They were very familiar with these three people and the couple, because they were the supervisors of the Tsar's family, and one of them was also the commander-in-chief of surveillance of this mansion.

"Excuse me, Mr. Romanov and Madam, there is an emergency outside, and we need you and your family to take shelter in the basement!"
