Continental History Part 4

It was about 80 years before the independence of the Kingdom of Silesia and 373 years before the continental calendar that the Ostomark Empire became independent. The first emperor's name was Yuri von Romanov-Hermesberger, commonly known as "Yuri the Great". As the Romanov-Hermesberger name suggests, a human being bordered by the Romanov clan, an emperor of the Continental Empire, created a new country in the land.

Time is 350 years of the continental calendar. It was Yuri Romanov, the second son of the Romanov family, who was exhausted by the revolts and wars rolling around the world. As a prince born into a turbulent world, he studied economics from his father, military from a 10-year-old brother, and social from his mother. Yuri didn't complain about the tight schedule, and did what she was given. Also unlike the time of the 32nd emperor, the family was close, and Yuri herself had a reputation for "my brother is the man the emperor deserves". From all around, it was expected that "my brother would be emperor and my brother would be prime minister to bring prosperity to the Continental Empire again". The brothers encouraged drilling every day, as if to live up to that expectation.

But the gear of this brother's life was starting to get a little crazy.

Continental calendar year 367. Yuri Romanov assumed the post of Acting Viceroy of the Emperor in the direct jurisdiction of Emperor Hapsburg, a region that will now be the territory of the Ostomark Empire. The direct authority of Emperor Hapsburg was originally a difficult land to say wealthy, but when Yuri took office as Governor General, he pioneered the land by summoning the knowledge he had learned from his family so far.

The first turning point came in 369 on the continental calendar, when Yuri's reign stabilized and Hapsburg territory began to grow. "Emperor denied."

Yuri did not return to the Emperor's capital at the time of the news of the Emperor's denial. I was worried about my father, but it was a little far from Hapsburg territory to the Imperial City. Even though Hapsburg territory has begun to grow, it is still an unstable land. You can't leave now for the life of a people. Besides, Empire has a brother. I don't think you need to worry about anything.

The judgment divided the fate of the brothers.

The second turning point is the summer of 370 on the continental calendar, a year after the newspaper of imperial impermissibility. A fire broke out in a palace inhabited by a clan of emperors, at which time the emperor and queen, or Yuri's parents, died.

The cause was "one of the servants was cooking, and it became a fire because of his unsuccessful sorcery. Fire extinguishing and evacuation were delayed because there were fewer close guards in the palace because of financial compression, and His Majesty the Emperor and Queen died", or "it is a fire", has been officially announced.

Naturally, the palace security officer would be impeached, but the chief security officer in that palace was Yuri's brother. Regardless, there was no one else who could disprove the First Prince, but his brother, who was more responsible than anyone else, is said to have committed suicide with the grief of losing his parents at once and their guilt.

At this point, only Yuri Romanov and earlier the Emperor's brother's grandson, or Johar Romanov, who was re-cousin (and cousin) from Yuri, became the only ones with the right to inherit the throne.

At this time Yuri knew exactly what was happening in the Imperial City. The fact that the fire in the palace was arson, not fire, and that his brother's death was not suicide, but other killings. There was no physical evidence. But he was guessing everything. You can't hire a man into a palace that would outrage witchcraft. Besides, my brother is not a suicidal person. He knew about it. I also wondered if my father's illness was the work of someone else.

But Yuri couldn't do anything.

If this series of events were murder, then it was himself who would be targeted next, and because he realized that the Empire was a dead place.

The family's national funeral was then held in Imperial Capital, but Yuri did not attend. He remained in Hapsburg territory and continued to carry out his work as Governor General.

And after the 20th vacancy, Johar Romanov reached the throne. At the same time Yuri Romanov was stripped of his right to inherit the throne, but the post of Governor was not solved. It was supposedly a consideration to prevent the Hapsburg territory from becoming a second western continental empire.

The third turning point was at the end of 372 years of the continental calendar. It was Yuri Romanov who married one of the great nobles of Livonia, the Duchess of Hermesberger.

Yuri was indeed stripped of his right to inherit the throne, but the information that "as Acting Governor of the Emperor's Direct Territorial Administration, Romanov's bloodlines married leading rebels on the border" was welcomed with surprise by the people. Because this marriage means indirect "approval of Livonia independence".

Johar Romanov was naturally outraged, dismissing Yuri from the post of Governor and issuing a recall order to the Imperial capital. but Yuri rejected this and declared the founding of the Ostomark Empire.

The war of independence ended less than three months later. It was also due to the strong support of the Hermesbergers and the weakening of the Eastern Continental Empire, but more importantly because the Ostmarc Empire had enough national and military power to be likened to the "Second Western Continental Empire" and because Yuri herself had the ability to exert that power no matter how much.

Johar was condemned by the nobles for the fact that he had lost in a short period of three months and was to be pursued by the throne of the emperor. In the end, Johar became the feather that gave the emperor to his seven-month-old son. In other words, Yuri defeated the emperor Johar, who made his family deceased, with the ability he inherited from his family.

Thus Yuri von Romanov-Hermesberger created the Ostmarc Empire and became the first emperor.
