Becoming a Russian Oligarch After Rebirth
Chapter 832 - 817: It Has to Be You

Chapter 832: Chapter 817: It Has to Be You

Convincing the Kremlin and the head of the church to publicly stand behind and vindicate the Romanov family certainly required a great deal of effort from Constantin behind the scenes.

There might have been quite a bit of exchanging of interests, too, but there was no need to mention these to Rossiyana.

"From now on, the glory of our family will depend entirely on you to carry forward and enhance. I hope you won’t disappoint the painstaking efforts of your grandfather, and can live up to the illustrious surname of Romanov," Constantin said with great emotion.

This left Rossiyana feeling rather "overwhelmed"...

If she had a choice, she would rather not become this "Grand Duke," but Rossiyana was also very clear in her mind.

The reason she could become engaged to Wang Ye was largely due to the title of Grand Duke she bore!

If Wang Ye had met her cousin or something, then she probably wouldn’t have ended up with this title of Grand Duke...

"Well... I’ll do my best, Grandfather," Rossiyana said with somewhat insufficient confidence.

"Don’t worry, once you officially inherit the title of Grand Duke, I will take you and Misha on a tour of the European royal households to establish more contacts and resources, which will be beneficial for both you and Misha," encouraged Constantin.

Although they had never discussed it, Constantin and Wang Ye had the same idea—they both understood what the biggest benefit of the "Romanov family" name was!

They certainly wouldn’t waste this opportunity and would definitely maximize the use of the Romanov family’s "relational" ties!

In fact, for the Romanov family to receive true recognition, they really needed Wang Ye as their "son-in-law," which was why, after communicating with the Kremlin, Constantin readily agreed to bestow the title of Grand Duke to Rossiyana.

Because without Wang Ye as the "son-in-law," even if the Romanov family reemerged and had the support of the Kremlin and the church,

they would just be "poor relatives" in the eyes of other royal houses in Europe.

On the surface, there might not be any expression of this, but deep down, they certainly would look down on the Romanov family.

What does the current Romanov family have, aside from "a bit of money"?...

Compared to the British Royal Family, the Danish Royal Family, the Spanish Royal Family—families that still possess significant power and influence—they really don’t measure up.

But with Wang Ye as the "son-in-law," the situation changes.

The youngest high-ranking political figure in one of Europe’s major powers!

The Deputy Speaker of the Duma holds power similar to that of the vice presidents of parliaments in other countries, and his power is immense.

Even more impressive, he’s only in his early twenties!

Plus, with a wealth of billions, he ranks among the top-tier wealthy worldwide!

With power and wealth, and a limitless future!

Such a person, combined with the family background of the Romanovs, now carries sufficient weight...

It could truly be described as a powerhouse union, where 1+1>2!

...

"By the way, Grandfather, both Misha and I are about to get engaged. Shouldn’t the family show some sincerity?" Rossiyana brought up another matter in a coquettish manner.

Upon hearing this, Constantin burst into laughter, "Ha ha, you haven’t even married over there and you’re already thinking about the family’s wealth. With Misha’s assets, would he care about this little bit from our family? But rest assured, you are the most legitimate heir of our family, the only Grand Duke! How could our family let your wedding appear shabby? We will definitely make you and Misha satisfied when the time comes!"

Rossiyana was seizing the opportunity to seek "benefits."

Although she would be the so-called Grand Duke, the only legitimate heir of the Romanov family!

Those were all nominal titles, certainly less reliable than tangible benefits in hand.

After all, she wasn’t the only one in her generation of siblings in the family, and the wealth certainly wouldn’t all end up in her hands in the future.

So it’s better to take advantage of the engagement and wedding to scoop up as much as she could!

Constantin would not be stingy. Whether it was for the face of the family or to win over Wang Ye, this potential "outstanding son-in-law," he would "bleed substantially" this time!

He would provide a generous amount of assets as Rossiyana’s dowry.

Changing the topic, Constantin said with a smile, "By the way, there’s something else, which your father-in-law might not have mentioned. That is, among your future children, one must have the Romanov surname, to inherit your title of Grand Duke in the future—the next generation’s heir to our family!"

It was reasonable for Rossiyana to inherit the "Grand Duke" title; after all, she was Constantin’s own granddaughter and also bore the Romanov surname.

But what about the next generation? If they took Wang Ye’s surname, it would seem somewhat unreasonable for them to inherit the Grand Duke title.

And would Rossiyana be willing to pass on the title of Grand Duke to some other younger family member?

So, it might be simpler to have one of Rossiyana’s future children take the Romanov surname to inherit the title of Grand Duke, making it all the more fitting and above reproach.

Upon hearing this, Rossiyana hesitated, "I... will have to discuss this with Misha. If he doesn’t object..."

"Don’t worry, Misha won’t object!" Constantin cut off Rossiyana’s words and said decisively.

He was well aware that for such mutually beneficial matters, Wang Ye certainly wouldn’t object.

And Wang Ye indeed did not object—when Rossiyana tentatively mentioned the matter the next day, Wang Ye didn’t hesitate at all and agreed readily.
