3614. To my royal mind there can be only one explanation of
the apparent reluctance of the Almighty to intervene in the execution of
persons of royal blood. The reason is because the king in question has not been
a good enough Christian King. The execution is a proof positive of the
shallowness of a king’s religious convictions.
3615. I never asked anyone if I could be the Tsar of all the
Russians, it is a position that fell naturally to me, and I made no efforts,
neither could I have contrived it. Now, let us, carefully consider how it is that
I came to be the Tsar.
3616. I am the Tsar because my Father was the Tsar, and also
his father. Now who is it do you suppose that, in the grand scheme of things,
arranges for marriages, betrothals, births, and deaths and all of those important
things in life. Over any one of those events a person may claim to have some
influence, but the obvious truth is that no one person has any control at all.
3617. Take for example some Grand Archduke Theodore
someplace in say East Prussia. His parents arrange for him to wed the little Archduchess
of Transylvania. The papers are drawn up, the children meet, their portraits
are exchanged and everything is in order. They are eight and nine years old
respectively.
