"Oskar, you will be an adult tomorrow. You should also consider your marriage. Tomorrow at your coming-of-age ceremony banquet, there will be many noble ladies. I hope you can choose one of them to become your partner in life." Empress Victoria said to Oscar. She specially called Oscar to the palace the day before Oscar's twentieth birthday to specifically warn him about this matter.
When Crown Prince Wilhelm has become a vegetable, and Oscar, although acting Crown Prince, is performing more and more brilliantly, Empress Victoria also has to accept this reality. After all, Oscar is also her son, but he was not reused before. Moreover, the current performance of Oscar is even more outstanding than that of the original Crown Prince Wilhelm.
"Yes, Mother Empress!" Oscar nodded.
As a member of the royal family, especially Crown Prince, Oscar knows that it is almost impossible for him to make the final decision on his own marriage. His wife could only be the daughter of a great noble Germany, or a princess from another country. As for civilians, it is simply impossible to become his wife, Germany's future Empress.
Of course, Oscar never expected to have a vigorous love. Now, he simply doesn't have that kind of time, nor does he have that kind of experience. Oscar, who was a standard otaku in his previous life, had no experience in falling in love. Oscar just hopes that he can find a beautiful and kind-hearted girl to be his wife, and that is enough.
Empress Victoria nodded with satisfaction. "Oskar, you are the most outstanding Prince of the royal family, and also my best son. I hope that this time you can find the girl you like."
Oscar nodded and said nothing more. Although, he also holds such expectations. But Oscar knows that the royal family and nobles of Europe are very chaotic. These nobles look sanctimonious, but secretly they are full of male thieves and female prostitutes. Whether they can find a satisfactory wife depends on God's arrangement.
The next day, July 2, 1908, Oscar turned twenty years old. For the German Empire, this day is undoubtedly a very important day. German Emperor Wilhelm II will hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for Oscar in the palace. The nobles of Germany hope that their daughters can be Oscar on this day. values it and becomes Crown Princess of Germany, and Empress of Germany in the future. In this case, their family can gain huge prestige and benefits.
In particular, Oscar was already a well-known figure in Germany. This is not only because Oscar is Imperial Crown Prince, but also because of Oscar's achievements in the business field. German Industrial Group has now become one of Germany's largest conglomerates, and its speed of making money is astounding to others. Oscar is also known as the youngest rich man Germany.
I don't know how many noble women want to marry Oscar. If Oscar wants to choose a concubine, the applicants will probably be queued directly from Berlin to Potsdam.
Many foreign envoys were also invited to attend this coming-of-age ceremony. Especially the allies of the German Empire hope to further consolidate the close relationship with Germany. Austro-Hungarian Empire Emperor Franz Joseph I sent a special envoy to Germany to persuade Wilhelm II and Austro-Hungarian Empire to marry. The marriage between the princess of Habsburg dynasty and the heir of Hohenzollern family would further consolidate the alliance between the two empires.
However, Wilhelm II was not prepared to interfere with Oscar on this issue and gave the power of choice to Oscar. In the words of Wilhelm II, German Empire is now very powerful, so powerful that we need allies without sacrificing the happiness of Crown Prince.
Oscar was not forced by Wilhelm II and Empress Victoria in this regard, which made Oscar very satisfied. Although he cannot decide the identity of his wife, he can always decide the candidate for his wife. He wants to choose a wife who satisfies him, rather than using his marriage as a political bargaining chip.
The coming-of-age ceremony has a complicated ceremony. Archbishop of Catholic German Diocese personally presided over this coming-of-age ceremony, making the whole coming-of-age ceremony even more sacred.
Oscar patiently managed to make it to the end of the ceremony, which made him sigh in relief.
"Gentlemen, ladies, the elites of the German Empire, thank you for coming to participate in Crown Prince Oskar's coming-of-age ceremony." At the end of the ceremony, Wilhelm II made a routine speech.
Although, Wilhelm II still prefers Crown Prince Wilhelm in his heart. However, he had to admit that when Crown Prince Wilhelm could no longer fulfill Crown Prince's obligations, Oscar was undoubtedly the best candidate for Crown Prince. What's more, Oscar's performance in this position is inherently better than Crown Prince Wilhelm. Wilhelm II often thinks that maybe letting Oscar inherit the throne is the best choice.
"German Empire has become one of the most powerful empires in the world, and it is still getting stronger. Thank you God for giving us Crown Prince Oskar and giving us a The best Crown Prince heir in the world. May God bless Crown Prince Oskar and German Empire!" Wilhelm II said loudly.
"May God bless Crown Prince Oskar, bless German Empire!" Everyone shouted loudly.
However, not everyone who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony sincerely wished Oscar. For example, German Empire's hostile countries, Britain, France, and Russia and other countries, do not want German Empire to continue to be strong. A powerful German Empire is not a good thing for them. It would be best if the heir of the German Empire was a mediocre and incompetent person. But it is a pity that the previously ambitious Crown Prince Wilhelm became a vegetative state, and now Crown Prince is even more difficult to deal with.
In addition to these people, Oscar's brothers were also completely filled with jealousy and hatred. According to Imperial Succession Law, when Crown Prince Wilhelm is unable to perform the duties of Crown Prince, they should be responsible for Crown Prince, and it will not be Oscar's turn. But Wilhelm II violated Imperial Succession Law and directly deprived them of their qualifications to serve as Crown Prince in accordance with the law. This naturally made them hate it very much. You know, their coming of age ceremony is far inferior to this coming of age ceremony of Oscar! This made these Prince extremely jealous.
