The Studio Ghibli Fanatic
It was a day of national celebration in Bulgaria, the country was under a euphoria of pride and joy. Which was quite uncommon in the early days of it's new found independence. The country had been under Ottoman rule was hundreads of years, swift fall of the Ottoman Empire had made the future of the peoples of the Balkans uncertain. People (Atleast in Bulgaria) didn't trust the Persians, and when the Balkan Pact was formed, many felt that this was just a change from one master to another.
But with the war that broke out between the Federated Kingdoms and Persia, many Bulgarians regained their confidence of cutting the leash that held Bulgaria down. And with the king of Bulgaria chosen from the FK, many were certain it was going to succeed.
The crown Prince Edward had arrived in Bulgaria a few weeks before the coronation ceremony, to get to know his new country, the culture, the religion, the people and a little bit of the language. Also, he had been briefed on the difficulties that his country faced.
Indeed, that day Bulgaria might have seemed to be one of the greatest countries in Europe to live in. But the truth had a different side to it. Bulgaria was a country surrounded by enemies, it's army was weak, it's economy was not in shape and it's people were ruled (That is before now) by petty warlords. Many however were confident that Edward, and the new found friendship with the FK, would turn Bulgaria completely around.
The capital had been made ready for the Prince's arrival, and the army had been fitted to look their best. The coronation itself took place in an Orthodox chatedral in the capital city of Burgas. Edward was given the new name of Tsar Michael IV. As Michael together with his royal escort left the chatedral, after the ceremony, he was welcomed with a shower flowers, cheering and chanting by nearly everyone in Burgas, from the richest businessmen to the poorest folk.
After the coronation ceremony inside the chatedral, Michael, together with the cabinet members of the government, watched as the army of Bulgaria paraded through Burgas, with the crowd cheering as the soldiers marched by.
Later that day Michael called forth a cabinet meeting to discuss the future of Bulgaria.
Bulgaria's future was still far from certain, but now the young state had a chance.
