The rose garden is peaceful in the early morning. As the morning light breaks, the pale golden glow passes over the tall and magnificent palace roof and generously sprinkles into the garden, dyeing the budding roses golden red.
The palace maids, dragging their long skirts along the spotless road, came into the palace with bouquets of freshly picked roses covered with dew. They stopped in front of the queen's room, and the leader went forward to negotiate with the maid on night watch outside the door.
The ladies-in-waiting saluted each other gracefully, and the leading maid asked softly, "Are your majesties awake?"
The night watchman replied in the same voice: "Give me the flowers, it's not time yet."
The lady-in-waiting completed the handover quickly, and the leader bowed again and quietly withdrew. Her next job was to be responsible for the breakfast of the two majesties, while the maids following her lined up outside the door, patiently waiting for the queen's call.
Two years ago, the old king passed away. Before his death, he announced the legal succession rights of female monarchs. His favorite daughter then succeeded to the throne as Grand Duchess. However, the old king's edict had no binding force on the princes, and those who disagreed with this did not recognize the status of the queen.
To this day, the dispute over the throne has not stopped, but has intensified. Not only that, the neighboring countries also deny the legitimacy of the queen. They want to support a puppet regime by force. Unfortunately, when the queen succeeded to the throne, the treasury was empty and the army was weak. Now this ancient country is facing internal and external troubles, and its future is uncertain...
These things are imminent crises for the queen, but the maids do not have comprehensive information, a panoramic view of the situation, or keen perception. Their only duty is to serve the queen and the king.
After this strong princess succeeded to the throne and became the Grand Duchess, she cleverly supported her husband to ascend the throne. She called herself the Queen, but she was the actual person in power.
Moreover, the queen's marriage is unique in the royal family. She and her husband were in a free love relationship. Under the extremely strong power-grabbing attitude of his wife, the husband willingly chose to give in and became a stamping and signing machine.
The sound of the bell broke the silence of the corridor, and the female official on night watch was refreshed: "Your Majesty is awake!"
The lady-in-waiting held up a fresh rose and slowly pushed open the magnificent door. The maids held their breath and followed her into the luxurious palace one by one.
The maids all knew how strong the Archduchess was, and how possessive she was of the king. Therefore, even though the king was so handsome, they did not dare to raise their heads while serving him.
Too many, perhaps because of impudent expectations, or perhaps because of presumptuous love.
"Bring the rose here." A clear voice came from behind the curtain. The pleasant voice was a little low and it was a very neutral voice.
The lady-in-waiting came forward holding a vase, the curtain was opened, and a tall woman stood up from the bed. The Archduchess was as tall and straight as an ordinary man. Her face was very deep, and her facial contours were full of strong curves, but her green eyes were filled with a gentle smile, making it difficult to tell her gender.
The queen is as full of neutral beauty as her voice. Her expression is gentle and friendly, but this friendliness also carries the majesty of a king.
The female official reported the matter respectfully, and the queen nodded slightly after listening: "I understand... You can leave now, thank you for your hard work."
Soon all the maids in the room left, leaving only the rich scent of fresh roses.
The queen placed the bouquet on the small table outside the curtain, then opened the curtain and said gently, "Good morning, my God."
Su Yun lay flat on the huge mattress, his expression dull: "Theresa?"
"Yes, my God." The queen lowered her head meekly. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Su Yun folded his hands on his chest, his movements were particularly peaceful, "This time...you are not going to be the Pope?"
"Because I want to follow the Father." The queen slowly drew up the curtain. He smiled gently, but his tone was more firm and powerful than ever before. "In this era, the power of the Church will be weakened, and the Pope will be rejected by the rulers. You are the king, and I must stay by your side."
Su Yun felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't find anything wrong, so he had to cooperate and got up, letting Theresa help him tie up his long hair.
It wasn't until Su Yun changed her clothes that he suddenly realized: "Theresa, are you the queen this time?"
Theresa has had her appearance slightly tweaked so that she now looks more like a queen.
Theresa smiled, her emerald eyes sparkling: "Yes! Only women can marry you, and I will play this role well!"
God's love and mercy will give the most devout believers supreme power.

If Theresa's identity as queen only surprised Su Yun a little, then Alice's new identity made Su Yun laugh and cry.
Alice appeared with childish irritability. He kicked the door open and rushed to Su Yun with grievance: "Father God!"
Theresa stretched out her hand to stop him: "Alice, please be careful in front of your parents.
Keep etiquette."
It was a familiar scene, and it made my stomach ache as it played out again. Alice was still the crown prince, but this time the throne he was going to inherit belonged to Ceylon, and his parents were Su Yun and Theresa.
Alice turned to Theresa who was standing in front of the Father God, and her aggrieved look suddenly turned cold: "Shouldn't the role of the queen be given to the God's servant?"
"I don't think a priest can play such an important role." Theresa accused distantly, "And what position do you have to raise this point? It's been so many times that you can't even be a crown prince."
Alice looked like she was going to explode, and Su Yun finally reacted. He separated the two of them and said helplessly, "Who arranged the identities this time... Where are your brothers? Why are they so far away?"
"It was Theresa and I who arranged it." Alice gritted her teeth, "It was also Theresa who decided my status as the crown prince."
"But it was you who scattered the brothers to distant principalities, and it was you who first defined my female identity." Theresa smiled, "Brother, I just made a change at the end."
Su Yun understood that it was Alice who took the initiative this time. He threw all other creatures to different places and only left himself and the Father God. Not only that, for some unknown reason, he also changed Theresa into a female character.
On this basis, Theresa fought back. Not only did she become the queen, but she also turned Alice into the crown prince...
Theresa fought back.
Su Yun suddenly realized with relief that since Theresa's true identity was exposed, she had completely eliminated her fear. He had finally transformed from a believer crawling in the dust to a priest who dared to look up and directly at the gods.
Has he always been afraid of losing God's love...
Therein lies the crux of Teresa’s situation.

Alice exploded.
Fortunately, Su Yun successfully calmed down the little plague that was trying to flatten the human kingdom, and he held Alice in his arms to comfort her like he was stroking the fur of a grumpy kitten.
Theresa said in an extremely helpless tone: "My God, I have to go to handle government affairs. I will come to see you at lunch...Alice, you have to stop being willful."
Alice: !!!!!!
Su Yun held the kitten down, then he nodded to Theresa: "Go, I'll wait for you in the library."
Theresa walked away with her head held high. Su Yun suddenly had an illusion - as if he was the mother who doted on her ignorant child, and the helpless
The father has no way to discipline his children in front of his beloved wife, so he can only go out to earn money to support the family...
Su Yun: “…”
Su Yun shook his head and laughed, then took Alice to the library in the palace.
Times are changing. The information flowing in books has long been updated. The Renaissance is coming to an end, the industrial reform is about to begin, the Thirty Years' War has concluded the hegemony of religion, and the Seven Years' War is the next to open a new era.
The Age of Exploration had already begun, and now is the time of the frenzy of colonial competition. Countries isolated from the ocean have not enjoyed peace, and their disputes over territory and royal power have just begun.
Another large-scale war among human beings is about to break out. I wonder if it will be enough to wake Flora up this time?
Even if it is not enough this time, it will definitely be enough next time... After all, the next large-scale war will involve several times more countries and people than this time.
Flora loved battle and death, and he would never miss a third time.

At noon, Theresa found her god in the library as promised, and they had lunch in the palace garden where the library was located. Several princesses and princes played by god servants were also present, including a nursing baby in the arms of a wet nurse.
It is indeed... a big family.
Alice had no sibling affection for her nominal brothers and sisters. She occupied the main seat and stood between Theresa and Su Yun. It can be said that she was very rebellious.
But Theresa not only didn't care at all, she also remembered to give gentle encouragement to her "children", and even discussed parenting directions with Su Yun... For example, Crown Princess Alice should take more courses.
Su Yun once again felt deeply helpless. Facing Theresa's serious gaze, he could only say "I'll listen to you" and "I'll listen to you all".
The human maids, who were unaware of the truth, stood quietly with their heads down, and in their hearts they all sighed at the beauty of marriage after free love.
And in this harmonious atmosphere, the turning point of the plot advancement came unceremoniously.
The herald rushed into the garden anxiously and handed over several handwritten letters from the king of the neighboring principality. Theresa took them without even looking at them, but just put them casually beside her.
Su Yun saw familiar handwriting on the envelope: "Julia's letter, is the war about to start? Julia is the monarch of a neighboring country this time?"
Theresa smiled and said, "Yes, he is also our enemy in this war. Isis and Jasmine are farther away from us, and there is a battle between them. Anita is on another continent. Oh... his gender has also been changed."
Alice sneered.
Su Yun: “…”
Su Yun covered his forehead helplessly: "Are we the losers in this war?"
"Yes." Theresa nodded. "The military strength of the two sides is incomparable."
But what does it matter whether the war is won or lost? Even if she fails, the queen will still be the ruler of the revival, and her royal family will always be happy.
The author has something to say: Teresa is 175cm tall and Su Yun is 180cm tall. In terms of height, they are actually quite suitable for this role setting.
The second one finally attacked, and Lao Su also had a very good soft meal

The prototype of the queen is Maria Theresa. A lot of experiences have been simplified and changed. We don't care about it.
By camp, Theresa and Alice were Shinra, Julia Prussia, Jasmine and Isis were England and France, and Anita Russia threw the farthest.
This time the background has been changed from the Seven Years' War, which is the 0.5th World War. The next war in the human world will be World War I. Flora will wake up before World War II.
Neither World War I nor World War II involves our history. First, we don't know how to deal with it, and second, the risk is too great. Let's just watch the castrated version of the Western fantasy.

The garbled text in the shameful self-exposure is the pen name of my favorite author, probably because there are a lot of Japanese words in it, so I won’t make it clearer if it’s censored. Is this God’s will?

Muah!
