Chapter 640 Admission
As the guests were discussing their own affairs, trumpets sounded, announcing the entry of the royal family.

Peter appeared before the crowd wearing a purple robe and a crown on his head, and the people paid high tribute to the monarch who brought them victory.

Following closely behind was Queen Sophia, a descendant of the Palaiologos dynasty, whose union with the emperor of the Batran family symbolized the union of the two great families.

On the left of the emperor are the family of Crown Prince Alexander, the Crown Princess and the child in her arms. This is the fourth generation of the Bartland family and the fourth future emperor.

The Duke and Madame Bourbon were also watching. The grandson in their daughter's arms was the life-saving charm of their family. If France and Romania went to war in the future, it should not be affected here.

Then there are a series of heavyweight members, including the Russian Tsar, the Elector of Brandenburg, the King of England, the Queen Mother of Naples, and the Duke and Duchess of Romagna. These are heavyweights no matter where they are placed.

"This is outrageous. There aren't usually so many people here. It seems like this competition is really important."

Sigismund looked at these people and said, while the Duke of Austria beside him was envious and afraid. If this pressure came, I am afraid no country could withstand it.

"You see, ever since the capture of Warsaw, Brandenburg has been demanding a greater title. Maybe there will be a second king soon."

There is only one king in the Holy Roman Empire, and that is the King of Bohemia. In fact, there should have been several titles such as the Kingdom of Lorraine, the Kingdom of Burgundy, the Kingdom of Germany, and the Kingdom of Italy. But these titles were integrated with the Holy Roman Emperor. The Golden Bull stipulates that "there can only be one kingdom, Bohemia", because the above-mentioned kingdoms are already empty titles and are also tied to the emperor. Bohemia is a relatively complete political entity and was also the core of the Luxembourg family at the time, so this rule was made.

Sigismund himself knew that Brandenburg had not yet revealed its cards, waiting for him to take the initiative to make a deal with him, in which he would be promoted to king in exchange for supporting him as the king of Bohemia.

Next to the royal stand was a shorter platform on which sat five arena hosts. After receiving the order, the leader immediately raised the flag and waved it in the air. When the Romanian audience saw this, they not only stopped the noise themselves, but also persuaded the audience next to them to keep quiet.

Then, a piece of music slowly sounded, signaling the start of the race. The teams participating in the race today entered the field one by one, with the Constantinople Racing Team being the first to arrive. They were wearing purple clothes, which made them particularly conspicuous in the team.

The team from Bukuriesti was the second to appear. As the former capital, it relied on its geographical location and the inclination of resources to become the largest city in the lower reaches of the Danube. There was a period of time every year when the royal family would return to the local area for vacation. The local racing team did not disappoint, and so far it has won three third places, three runner-ups and one championship.

Soon after, convoys from Athens, Smyrna, Antioch, Chisinau and other places entered the scene one after another. But when the convoy from Mircea Castle entered, there was a warm cheer at the scene.

Mircea Castle existed for Romania, and being named after the founding emperor was enough to show its value. Since its construction, the trade here has exploded, and it has become another important city on the Dnieper River after Kiev.

——————————When the team entered the stadium, the stands also welcomed special guests: a religious group led by the new Patriarch of Constantinople, as well as the Patriarchs of Rome, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Bucuriesti, the Patriarch of the Ukrainian region, Orthodox representatives from Berlin and London, and representatives from the Toledo See.

It seems like a strange thing has mixed in.

The Vatican originally did not want to send anyone, but when it learned that many monarchs were going to Constantinople, it decided to send someone to take a look, if for no other reason than to keep them cohesive.

The representative sent this time was the Bishop of Barcelona, ​​who was more pious than the Pope. He believed that the prosperity of Constantinople was filthy and that they had lost their piety to God. But he still had to watch, otherwise leaving directly would cause a diplomatic crisis.

“See? These are God’s people.”

Several patriarchs watched the game together, but they never stayed together for more than a month and did not meet unless for religious exchanges.

"I've never seen such a grand occasion. There should be 10 people."

The Patriarch of Jerusalem looked at the huge crowds and sighed that the population in areas such as Jerusalem and Damascus was sparse, and even if they were resting and recuperating, the entire area only had more than 100 million people. Compared with here, it was still too few.

"Constantinople has recovered from its original state. The war is gone. Now is a peaceful era."

Although it is called peace, Rome has actually fought many wars in recent years, especially the upcoming holy war, which is ready to put an end to the thousand-year struggle between the Orthodox Church and the Crescent Church.

The church also provided a lot of funds and materials, and called on believers to settle in Jerusalem to strengthen local strength. In order to seize the most stubborn fortress of the pagans, they would give everything.

However, the Ukrainian Patriarch does not want to go so far, he only needs to provide basic support. Compared with the Middle East, the situation in Poland is more worrying to him.

The captured Krakow region was the most stubborn stronghold in Poland, and the local people resisted conversion and refused to give up the Polish language. As a result, a protracted conflict broke out, and the church went deep into the local area and continued to fight against the Catholic Church.

The Patriarch established the Diocese of Krakow to govern the local religion and carried out various reforms. By distributing land and forcing immigrants, the local resistance was not so fierce. However, the reconstruction of the local area would not be completed in a day or two. The church had to cooperate with the government to resist the invasion of Catholicism.
