Chapter 1822: Designated Target

Blonde hair and blue eyes, the characteristics of a German.

Little Peter looked at her appearance, feeling a familiarity he had never sensed before, and walked forward quickly without regard for etiquette, but was held back by Elizabeth I.

Seeing the gaze of Elizabeth I, Little Peter finally reacted and hurriedly bowed to her.

"Hello, it is a pleasure to meet you, I am Pide Sanshi Feiaoweiqi, you can call me Peter," Little Peter said in not-so-standard Russian.

Sophia lifted her skirt hem, bowed slightly, and a smile bloomed on her exquisite face.

She introduced, "It is a pleasure to see you, Lord Peter, my name is Sophia Alekseyevna, you may address me as Sophia."

Little Peter nodded, walked over, and took Sophia's hand.

Sophia was a few years older than Peter.

She must have been sixteen or even eighteen years old.

The two chatted happily.

In Little Peter's eyes, a youth's joy was revealed.

It was unclear whether it was because the other party was a German from Prussia, or because he lacked friends after arriving in Tsarist Russia, or perhaps it was the budding romance of his age.

In the following two months, Little Peter and Sophia were inseparable.

The Prussia that Sophia described to Little Peter was a once-powerful German nation.

It was only later partitioned by the European powers.

Every time Little Peter heard this story, he would clench his fists, a resolute expression appearing on his face, as if saying he would restore the glory of Germany.

Sophia neither denied nor acknowledged Little Peter's thoughts.

Two months passed.

Little Peter also could not understand why he gradually developed so much attachment to this girl who was only a few years older than him.

Elizabeth I saw it all in her eyes.

On this day, Elizabeth summoned Little Peter and Sophia.

She said with a faint smile, "Peter, starting today, Princess Sophia will become your wife."

"Wife?" Little Peter was stunned; although he was young, he had a very good understanding of this title.

In his lessons, there was also teaching of this kind.

Hearing this, Little Peter stole a glance at Sophia, his little face turning bright red.

Sophia's expression did not fluctuate much; before she arrived here, she had already been informed of her fate.

She would become the wife of the Tsarist Russian crown prince, and after Peter III ascended the throne, she would be the empress of this country.

Sophia lowered her head and said, "As you wish, noble Tsar."

Little Peter widened his eyes, unable to believe it.

Sophia turned her head to look at Little Peter, who was standing to the side, stunned and unable to speak, and smiled very sweetly: "Peter, don't you want to be with me forever?"

Little Peter was conquered by Sophia's smile; he nodded and suddenly grabbed Sophia's hand: "I do!"

Seeing this, Elizabeth I breathed a sigh of relief.

Little Peter was already fourteen years old this year, although he was still young.

But given the current withering of the Tsarist Russian royal family, he had to marry as soon as possible and give birth to heirs.

To stabilize the current turbulent situation, the war between Tsarist Russia, Prussia, and Longyan had not yet ended.

Her own body was growing weaker by the day, and there were many things she could no longer handle personally.

She had to handle everything properly while she was still on the throne.

Sophia was a partner she had personally selected for Peter; although she came from Prussia, because her father was a down-and-out Noble, she had not lived well these years.

More importantly, she had no foundation in Tsarist Russia.

Having such a wife could ensure that Little Peter's power would not be divided, at least not like their father's.

The happy news of the grand wedding between Peter III and Sophia soon spread throughout Europe.

Europe at this time had just experienced war and ushered in a brief peace.

Yet in the midst of this peace, a massive fraud incident erupted.

Europe could now be said to be in a state of vibrant growth.

Years of war, coupled with the losses brought about by the Nobles being swindled, were all calculated onto the heads of the common people.

Many people could not even afford to eat.

Naturally, trouble arose, and many bandits and robbers were born in various countries.

This left the countries of Europe in a rush, having to maintain their economies while simultaneously suppressing bandits.

Even for a major event like the marriage of the Tsarist Russian crown prince, the European countries only brought gifts and sent Envoys to offer congratulations, nothing more.

Compared to the unprecedented scene when Liu Zheng married, it was unknown how many times inferior it was.

However, hearing that Little Peter was getting married, and in Tsarist Russia at that,

Frederick II felt a flurry of mental turmoil; he had originally sent Little Peter to Sweden.

But he had not expected that Tsarist Russia would take him away in the end.

He was both angry and anxious, but out of the companionship during that period with Little Peter, he also prepared a gift.

It was just unknown whether this gift would ever reach Little Peter's hands.

As the mortal enemy of Tsarist Russia, Liu Zheng actually also received an invitation to the wedding.

He looked at the invitation and laughed; Tsarist Russia had taken advantage of the chaos in Europe to partition Poland and successfully obtained an Ice-free Port, breaking through the blockade imposed on it by Longyan.

Now its strength had greatly increased, but on the battlefield, it still lost to him.

Liu Zheng thought for a moment and decided to send a small gift to Tsarist Russia.

He sent the Magic Cube he had been playing with to Tsarist Russia and wrote in the letter.

"If anyone in Tsarist Russia can turn every side of the Magic Cube into the same color, then I will gift the brewing method for Yinzhou Drunkenness to Tsarist Russia, though I doubt anyone in Tsarist Russia can do it... Let's set a deadline: before the wedding of Peter III."

After Elizabeth I saw this letter, she angrily tore it into shreds.

She looked at the already scrambled Magic Cube, her eyes narrowing slightly.

She did not care about the brewing method for Yinzhou Drunkenness; the problem was the arrogant attitude of Liu Zheng.

This stirred up her dissatisfaction.

This matter, if spread, would concern the face of their Tsarist Russia; originally, Elizabeth I sent invitations to Frederick II and Liu Zheng just to disgust them.

Back when Liu Zheng had his grand wedding, he had also sent an invitation to Tsarist Russia, but Menshikov had ignored it at the time.

This had always been criticized, with people saying Tsarist Russia lacked magnanimity, or was even cowardly and weak.

This time, she imitated Liu Zheng's method, but she hadn't expected that both Frederick II and Liu Zheng would send gifts.

However, Liu Zheng's gift made their Tsarist Russia look foolish.

"Pass on my decree: before Peter's wedding, this Magic Cube must be solved, and show this thing to those ministers."

"Yes." The attendant by her side took the Magic Cube, bowed, and walked out.

Elizabeth I narrowed her eyes, her gaze filled with anger; she refused to believe that no one could solve this tiny square box.

You don't think anyone in Tsarist Russia can solve your Longyan Magic Cube?
