Deus Nos Ducit Ad Astra Per Aspera

With the establishment of the Kingdom of Korea as a part of the Russian Empire, Anastasia as her first degree as Queen, was to start the rapid reconstruction and revitalization of Korea.

She denied having a Coronation Ceremony as its redundant and a waste of money when it could be funneled into the economy of the young Kingdom. She used her status and power as the Crown Princess of Russia to allocate resources and manpower to kickstart Koreas industry.

As the Founder and CEO of Imperial Inc. she used its influence and power to establish supply chains and plan the foundation for the infrastructure of Korea.

Imperial Inc. is a company she created 2 years ago in secrecy to use its wealth and power when ever she needs it, without having to go through the redundant bureaucracy and asking her father for help.

Right now Anastasia is in the Imperial Inc. HQ as she reads reports of the progress of the ongoing projects. Most are focused in improving and boosting Russians industrial might be it in Central Russia, Central Asia, Caucasus, Eastern European part of Russia or the Far East which includes Manchuria and Korea.

Siberia is a harsh and difficult place to accomplish anything so it's mostly used for train tracks and to place Warehouses in.

As she picked up another report a headache that threatened to split her mind hit her head.

"Arggh!" Anastasia let go of the paper as she grabbed her head and winced in pain.

The headaches started 4 years ago when she nearly got assassinated. It happens once a month with every year the pain doubling. The pain it brings is unbearable even for her who has a stronger mind and body than the strongest human.

One of the main reasons for the creation of her company is to find a cure for her pain and as it is, she had no luck making any.

"Another headache you Highness?"

Her secretary Victoria spoke as she handed a cup of water to her.

"Thanks, and yes it happened again. It won't stop occurring."

"I sincerely hope you find a cure for the pain."

Victoria is from Germany as she moved in with he family. Anastasia reorganizing her talents in management hired her anonymously. Victoria found out that her Boss is the Princess after she accepted to be the secretary of the mysterious CEO of Imperial Inc. Is was a big shock to her seeing a child in her eyes being a CEO of a company the size of Imperial Inc.

As the pain receded Anastasia leaned back in her chair and took a deep breath.

She doesn't know why the headaches began only that it started after she woke up in the hospital and having the feeling that she forgot something important.

Maybe the pain is the reminder and the memory recovering, as it is now she didn't remember anything she supposedly forgot.

'I pray for this pain to stop' Anastasia said a short prayer and resumed her work.

-23.5.1905-

It's been more than a year since the Russo-Japanese War and the establishment of the Kingdom of Korea.

In that year Anastasia accomplished the reconstruction of the vital areas in Korea such as a Nation wide rail way and homes for the people with schools and establishments.

Manchuria has seen better as it didn't experience a War where it destroyed most of the region unlike Korea. It now stands a the central power of Russia in the Far East with Korea caching up.

Anastasia now 15 years old who looks more like an adult than a 15 year old. As her body matured faster than a normal person should, which confuses many to think her as an adult.

Anastasia helped her father in national matters and inturn gained more influence amongst the Elite of the Nobility.

One of the National meetings was about the Chruch. Should it stay one with the state or be separated. Anastasia said that it should stay one with the state as the Church is a moral guide and we're the faithful go to pray.

With Anastasia supporting the Church others started to follow her and support the Church as well to get on her good side.

With the Church in gratitude for Anastasia started to be her must loyal followers. Spreading word of how the Saint saved the Church.

The Church has been given the responsibility of maintaining the schools throughout the Nation, as it teaches all subjects and doesn't force theology onto the children as they have the choice to study it if they want to.

Which made everything easier as she schools are no longer needing full government oversight.

The reason Anastasia isn't engaged despite having to as a Royal is that her father is overprotective of his daughter and won't let anyone take away his little girl from him.

With her being the Crown Princess, it made it more difficult for anyone to go after her.

-St.Petersburg -

Right now Anastasia in St.Petersburg with her mother as she takes a break from her duties for today and relaxes.

"Anastasia how was your day?"

Her mother asked as she sat down next to her while sipping tea.

"It was rough, the amount of paper work would kill anyone else."

Anastasia had a lot of work up her sleeve since last year.

"Don't worry my dear, we are always here for you, so if you have any problems come to us and we will help."

Alexandra said as she put more sugar in her tea.

"Thanks mother, but you should stop putting too much sugar or you'll become fat."

Anastasia regretted saying that as the glare her mother gave her made her body shiver.

"Oh don't worry about me dear, you should go and rest up. Its been a long day for you."

Anastasia stood up and escaped. A Mother's anger is nothing to scoff at and she didn't want to be at the receiving end of it.

"What a troublesome girl she is." Alexandra smiled and continued drinking her tea.
