The coup happened a few months later when Irene's pregnancy begins to show

It has been a few months after you had a "lovely and passionate" night with Basilissa Irene. And after some worrying time, the 41-year-old Basilissa eventually revealed her slightly bigger belly to those who are part of her inner circle. And after the physician was brought in to check on Her Majesty herself, the answer is positive. You've successfully get the mother of the current Basileus of the Roman Empire pregnant with your child.

After learning that she is indeed pregnant, Basilissa Irene decided to launch the coup against her current son! Obviously, he escaped Constantinople to the shores of Anatolia in time. But this is when you know that there is no escape for Constantine. After all, you know that he will be captured by his own attendants who worked for his mother.

And in his absence, the wedding between you and Basilissa Irene takes place at the Hagia Sophia. The Basilissa herself also requested that you are to be married into her family instead of the other way around. And since Patriarch Tarasios owed the Basilissa his position and that this is my first marriage and her second marriage, he officiated my union with her. After that, the coronation process began immediately since you are already in the Church itself. So such things like distribution of coins can be done later.

So you headed for the ambo with Patriarch Tarasios and mounted on it. There, the Deacon of the Hagia Sophia recited the ektenia, aka the diligence, while the Patriarch of Constantinople himself performed a prayer over the purple cloak silently. Once finished, the Patriarch handed the purple cloak to the eunuch officials of the privy chamber, aka the kouboukleion, who then proceeded to dress it on you.

Patriarch Tarasios then performed the Prayer over the Crown. After that, he grabs the Crown and put it on your head.

"I am the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Patriarch Tarasios said as he's crowning you the new Basileus of the Roman Empire.

After he finished saying that, you turned around to face the pregnant Basilissa and the assembled audiences within the Hagia Sophia, who then proceeded to yell "Holy, holy, holy" and "Glory to God in the Highest and on Earth! Peace!" for three times.

Now, you are officially the new Basileus of the Roman Empire. As for Constantine VI, your new wife, who is also his mother, make sure he can never claim such a position ever again without killing him. And with him a threat no more, the Age of the Roman Empire under the family of your wife, which is now your dynasty, the Sarantapechosian dynasty, has begin!
