Deus Nos Ducit Ad Astra Per Aspera

Chapter 27: "Congratulations on your Sainthood Anastasia!"



The Priests faces turned deadly pale in horror. The Beast is the enemy of mankind, of God himself, he who will rise to take over the world and turn it sinfull. The Prophecy of Revelation speaks of such a being.

"Wh- What do you mean The Beast!"

One Priest screamed in fear.

"Why would you declare a enemy of mankind a Saint! We should rid of her!"

As Priests lashed out their statements, one who had enough of this bickering silenced them.

"Silence! Look at you screaming like children! Calm yourself and let his Holiness explain."

The Pope looked at the Priest who silenced them with a smile.

"Thank you, now, the reason for doing what I did is because while i saw the Giant Man and The Woman, with the Beast among them. A Giant Golden Cross was in between them, towering them by margins. It seems that this is all part of God's plan, so we must obey and not question his decision."

The Priests calmed down as they all looked down in shame. The Pope's ability is knows in the Vatican as the power got passed down from Pope to Pope. With the first one to bear that power being St.Peter himself.

So if the Pope says it's part of the Lord's plan they have no choice but to believe.

"Forgive us, your Holiness." said one Priest.

"All is well."

The Pope replied.

The rest of the journey back to Rome was in silence.

-Meanwhile with Anastasia-

She's about to have a mental breakdown. Her hopes of her Sainthood being torn down was instead more glorified with the Vatican itself proclaiming her a Saint. With this proclamation the whole World will see her as a Saint as the Vatican has influence everywhere in the World.

'Those old men! Did they do this on purpose to get a laugh at me!'

Bang!*

As Anastasia punched a Wall and made a hole enough for a person to go through, she calmed down as she saw what she did.

"Shit, Mr. Indrek will no be happy."

Her father's butler is a clean freak and when he sees this broken wall he will definitely fall unconscious.

Knock Knock

Anastasia quickly turned to the door and dashed to it. She opened the door to see Mr. Indrek.

"Your Highness, I heard a strange sound coming from the room. Is everything alright."

The Butler asked as he looked at Anastasia who was peaking through the small opening of the door.

"No- I mean Yes! Everything is alright! Is there a reason why you came here?"

Anastasias heart beat like machine gun spewing bullets in full power.

"Actually yes your Highness, his and her Majesty want your presence. They are in the Emporors office." Mr. Indrek replied

"Good!" said Anastasia as he exited the room and closed the door without letting him see whats inside.

She sprinted toward the Emporors office as Mr. Indrek shouted.

"Your Highness! No running in the Hallway!"

It was to late as Anastasia ran of.

"What will I do with her." He shaked his head.

He got curious, why did she not reveal the full view of the room? Is she hiding something?

Curiosity got the better of him as he opened the door and saw the Wall before him.

It's battered and torn down. A hole which will fit him through is presented before him.

"Oh my-."

Thud*

Mr. Indrek lost consciousness as he fell on the floor. Luckily a maid was accompanying him who quickly dragged him to the the Doctor of the Palace.

As Anastasias approached the Office and knocked the door, she heard her father's confirmation.

As she entered she saw her Mother and Father sitting on a sofa.

"Come dear, sit down." said Alexandra, her mother.

Anastasia sat down as her Father spoke up.

"Ehem!, Anastasia as you know you have been declared a Saint. A first in history for a living person to be declared so. Not only of Christianity but also of Islam.

Which caused a schism to occur with the Russian branch and Mecca. Which means they are divided. Me and your Mother want to Congratulate you of your Sainthood, and know that we are proud of you."

Anastasia looked at her parents, she was happy to see them happy. 'I guess I have to accept this sooner than later.'

"Thank you, Mom, Dad."

While they are speaking across the World the news of her Sainthood spread as people who liked her celebrated. Those who didn't couldn't help but gnaw their teeth as they heard the news.

The Japanese being one of them, but they are broken as their economy is in shambles with huge dept to pay as war reparations and the people causing unrest. They are in no position to fight at this moment.

As the heads of States got the news they couldn't help but be surprised.

Emporor Willhelm of Germany was supportive of Anastasias Sainthood.

As is King George of Britain.

Emporor of Qing was in a neutral stance as he isn't religious but knows the significance of this event and supports this as Anastasia is one of the people who supported the Qing Dynasty.

Many heads of Nations have their support to Anastasia.

The People of Korea threw a Nation wide celebration as they celebrated this moment in history. Many in Korea took the belief in Christianity as their Queen is one as they wanted to follow her which caused their belief to soar.

The rest of the Empire also celebrated, from the Poles, the Baltic, the Ukrainians Belarusians, Russians, Caucasians, Central Asians and other people took to the streets and cheered while saying prayers and blessings to Anastasia.

The news will be top news across the World for months to come.

How Anastasia deals with her new position of authority with both religions is all up to her.
