The first rule of the Romanov family:
"A crown and glory are inseparable. Thus, interests and family are the highest glory."
++++++ The seventh rule of the Romanov family:
"Respectful and courteous, independent but not abrasive. There may be friction, but it comes from sincerity and genuine affection. Above all, it is filled with love."
++++++ Many years later, a man who had led the Platinum family for many years accompanied his wife to the Russian Romanov estate, a place he had never visited before. He saw the family rules displayed in the main hall. Turning, he saw his wife, now bearing the Malfoy name, standing before a huge oil painting with an inscrutable look in her eyes. He simply went over, put an arm around her, and said,
+++++++ "We should go back. Scorpius wants us to be there on time tomorrow to watch his first Quidditch match."
+++++++ The beautiful woman smiled and agreed, letting her husband lead her away from the extravagant, magnificent Romanov estate.
+++++++ "I will create a new world, a new order, a new kingdom, and then offer you the crown, my dear empress."
