Alternate History Kuninkaalle! (Prince Ernst SI)

[VictortheMonarch]

It had been about a month since I was thrown into the body that I inhabit now, and my plans were beginning to form. Before I was Prince Ernst Heinrich, my name was Henry Ernest, A businessman based out of Nashville. I had built a conglomerate out of many things, oil refining, Mining, Weapons Creation, you name it I probably had a stake in it. Except Super Stores. Why anyone would want to go into those horrid things was beyond me. I had Accomplished many things in my previous life, I was an industrial man, who did much to aid countries in poverty. Hell, I had even helped the Kingdom of Jordan achieve First World Country status by investing so heavily into it's economy.

I died on the streets, technically. I had returned to the room I was Renting out with my wife, only to find her in bed with another man. My shock was my downfall, because the man likely didn't know who I was or didn't care, because the next thing I knew he pushed me, and I fell out an open window to my death. Fools, there were camera's in that Apartment. At least my vengeance was secured. I had my will set up so that the man I had trained to be the heir to my company (due to my wife's infertility) would take all my money after my death, with a good five percent being left over for my wife... though I doubt she will be using it now.

Oh yes, I'm getting besides the point. In my new life my name is Prince Ernst Heinrich Ferdinand Franz Joseph Otto Maria Melchiades, and I am the twenty one year old third prince of Saxony. A month ago, on September first I had found myself in the body mere moments after being impaled on that metal fence. It was a... surprising event, as Prince Ernst was, at the time, in bed with quite the beautiful maid. I'm sure the lady wasn't happy to stop what was happening, because I immediately had a seizure, as the Prince's memories and Mine were forced together. I was bed-ridden for a few days. That did not stop me from plotting, however.

I had read many books of this phenomena. A ISOT, SI, Reincarnation, whatever you'd call it, and I have a plan. You see, currently Finland is voting on who shall be the King of Finland, and originally it was to be Frederick of Hesse, however I have placed enough bribes to find myself King of Finland, and it is with good reason. Finland is believed to be an ice dome, land too useless for even farming. However it had vast resources of Copper, Iron, Chromium and more. I am experienced in raising a country from nothing, to something. That and while the Entente did not want a German king in Finland, they would not start a war over it, their manpower too exhausted over it.

Today I am in the city of Memel awaiting the Telegraph that I was the King of Finland. I had men in Finland today that would send word immediately that I was King of Finland. The only reason I was not already on my way was because I was not certain that my bribes would follow through, how embarrassing would it be to learn you were not a King and make a ruckus over it? I would rather die that become a laughing stock, it would tarnish my plans.

A knocking at the door wakes me from the book I was reading. walking to the door I am met with one of the servants in this manor. "Your Grace, a telegraph has come, you have been elected King of Finland." God I love this new life.

After the news that I had been elected as the King of Finland surfaced, I began my trek to the port, but not before making a letter to send to my father, the current King Frederick Augustus III. I would have Telegraphed him, but I did not know how he would react. On one hand he could congratulate me, and on another he could demand that I refuse the title, or pass it onto him or a brother of me. As the Head of House he could do any of that. However if I am sworn in beforehand I doubt he could do anything.


The barge I had boarded took two days to reach Helsinki, and much fanfare was involved, if you minus out the fact there were no floats, it seem that it was a Christmas parade. Ahh, I missed this part of life.

I was one of the many men who fought for Finnish liberation! While the rich kusipää eat sweets in their high towers, I had to smother my own son rather than let him continue starving. I fought for the liberation, and for it my family was executed. However my chance for revenge has neared.


The new King of Finland, Heinrich I has reached Helsinki, and my time to bear the barbs of Finnish Liberation is upon us! I shall be the Martyr of Finnish Liberation! Finns shall say my name with the respect I deserve until the end of time!


The King’s carriage neared, and I saw the Carriage near and I took a deep breath, and ran. I shoved women aside and even stepped on a child, but I cared little, liberation was upon us, I can feel it. I raised the Nagant in my hand and fired off three shots, all striking true. The black hair of the king was stained in blood and I let out a sigh of relief, as the bullets of the guards struck me.


And as my breath leaveth my body, I feel peace.

My butler was shot to death on the ride to the Capitol building. I didn’t know him, though I did feel sorrow. He took a bullet for me. I’m damn well honoring this man for his sacrifice, even if that won’t bring him back… oh well, onward to the coronation!
