After Edel signed the list of military observers, he had only been working for a short time. As the sun was about to set, a guard hurriedly broke into the crown prince's office.
Before he could ask, the guard said, "The Crown Princess was feeling unwell just now. Dr. Rodeske has already checked that the Crown Princess is about to give birth."
The guard's words made Edel distracted from his work. He asked nervously, "Where is my wife now?"
Facing the Crown Prince's inquiry, the guard replied, "Your Highness, the Crown Princess has been placed in the delivery room now."
After hearing what the guard said, Edel quickly left his office and hurried to the delivery room. The delivery room for Sophie Marie's delivery was ready in June. It is in a very well-located room.
Can see the morning sun and the garden outside the window.
When Edel rushed outside the door of the delivery room, he heard the painful cry of his wife Sophie Marie. His mother Queen Elizabeth also arrived at this time. When she saw Edel already standing here, she said to him
One sentence. "I'll go in and take a look. You and your father are waiting here."
After saying that, the mother entered the delivery room, leaving Edel watching the medical staff coming in and out.
At this time, Carol I was also supported by Viscount Edley, the steward, and came over. Seeing this, the Crown Prince stepped forward to support his father and persuaded him softly, "Father, you are not in good health, why did you come here like this?"
Although Carol I, who was supported by Edel, was in poor health, he was in good spirits. He said in a hearty tone, "I want to see my little grandson born with my own eyes and hear his first cry."
After hearing the wishes of Carol I, Edel helped his father to the bench outside the door and waited. This time, after his father came back from vacation at the Peres Palace, his body collapsed badly. At the beginning of this month, he could not even walk.
He was supported by others, which made Edel feel that his father's time was running out. Now Carol I did not care about current affairs at all. His only wish now is probably to see his grandson born with his own eyes.
After Edel settled his father, he waited anxiously outside the delivery room. His wife Sophie Marie's call came from inside the delivery room, making Edel restless and could only walk back and forth to relieve stress.
After a while, Queen Elizabeth came out. Edel saw a quick step and walked over and asked, "Mother, how is the situation inside?"
Seeing her anxious son, Queen Elizabeth spoke with a tone of experience. "How can it be so fast now? It will take at least two to three hours. But I asked Dr. Rodeske and she said that the fetus is currently in a good position and I believe it will go smoothly.
of production."
Hearing his mother's comfort made Edel feel relieved, at least the news was good now. So he and his parents waited at the door with peace of mind for his wife to give birth to the first third generation of the Romanian royal family.
They didn't wait long. Prime Minister Bretianu also came with many nobles. A group of people saw the king and his family outside the door, so they also waited quietly. There were only a few nobles, the Prime Minister and others.
, you can come forward and speak to the king and his family.
Nowadays, Romania's aristocrats can still live a decent life, but their political influence has declined after decades of suppression by the Carroll father and son. However, relying on the process of Romania's industrialization, they have barely recovered economically.
loss.
And there is no influence at all in the army. Especially in 1905, the actions of Count Ferenencü and others severely suppressed the influence of the nobles in the army. The generals who can now hold power in the army are all
Full loyalty to the royal family, and other elements such as democrats have also been excluded from the army. So now the Romanian army has completely become an armed force controlled by the royal family.
After seeing the restless Crown Prince, Prime Minister Bretianu stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, please feel at ease. I believe God will bless the Crown Princess to give birth to the child smoothly."
Regarding the Prime Minister's comfort, Edel turned around and replied casually. "Thank you, Prime Minister, for your concern. It is completely impossible for me to calm down now. After all, this is my first child."
He also understood the Crown Prince's behavior very well. You must know that when his first child was born, his performance was no better than that of Edel. He was just as restless.
After the Prime Minister tried to persuade the Crown Prince, he did not continue to say anything. He came to give advice and just performed his duties as a minister. After finishing speaking, he stood aside and waited for the birth of the child.
A group of people listened to the cry of the Crown Princess and quietly waited for the birth of the child. However, as if to keep everyone waiting, the child in Sophie Marie's belly was reluctant to meet everyone. A group of people began to wait for the birth of the child.
In the evening, wait until the lights are brightly lit at night.
The news that the Crown Princess was giving birth also spread throughout the streets of Bucharest. So there was a spectacular scene today. The streets were filled with people waiting for the news, and most of the vehicles driving on the road stopped on the road.
.They all looked in the direction of the palace in unison, waiting for the news of the birth of the Crown Princess. Many citizens also spontaneously prayed for the Crown Princess and her unborn child, asking God to bless the mother and child.
It seemed that the scene of her own birth was grand enough. At 10:12 in the evening, Sophie Marie gave a heart-wrenching cry, followed by a baby's cry. This shocked everyone standing outside the delivery room.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. In this era, childbirth is still a hurdle for mothers and children. Edel was waiting for Dr. Rodeske to bring him good news.
As expected, the people outside the delivery room were not kept waiting. Dr. Rodeske came out within two minutes and said to the crown prince, "Congratulations to your highness, mother and child are safe."
After hearing the news, Edel felt in his heart that he had left his blood in this world and that he had integrated into this world.
Edel pushed aside the crowd of people who were congratulating him and strode into the delivery room. He saw his wife Sophie Marie, who was still lying on the bed with renewed energy. He walked over and wiped the sweat from his wife's forehead and spoke affectionately.
"Thank you for your hard work, Sophie."
Sophie Marie, who was comforted by her husband, replied, "This is what I should do."
After finishing speaking, she looked at her child who was being held by the medical staff. The female nurse was also very sensible and quickly held the baby in front of Sophie Marie. "Your Highnesses, look at how cute he is."
Sophie Marie looked at her child and smiled, and Edel also looked at his son and felt happy and fulfilled in life.
"Where is my grandson? I want to see him."
It didn't take long for the Edel couple to feel happy. Queen Elizabeth came over and took her grandson from the nurse's hands. Following closely behind was King Carol, who was supported by the palace steward.
The old king looked at his grandson being held by his wife and said happily. "My little grandson is so cute, just like when Edel was born."
After seeing his grandson, King Carol I said to Edel, "My grandson's name is Friedrich Victor Albert von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen."
Edel knew that this was the name that his father had prepared in advance because he was worried about not being able to attend his grandson's baptism. So he repeated it seriously. "Yes, my son is called Friedrich Victor Albert."
Von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.”
So the newly born little prince was called Prince Victor.
King Carol I was very happy to hear this and told the palace steward beside him, "Let the bells ring to tell the people that the royal family has a little prince."
"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to do it."
At this time, the palace bells rang loudly, and then the bells of various cathedrals also rang, which was to inform the subjects that the child was born.
