The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven

Chapter 715 You Should Be an Adult

Someone knocked on the door of Franz's room, and Mrs. Sophie walked in angrily carrying two little ghosts.

Among them, the little girl "Jean of Arc" from India was specially tied up a few more times, and the little Maria on the side looked angry and cowardly.

"Frantz! Look what they've done!"

Franz looked at Mrs. Sophie's body and there was no trace of staining. There was a high probability that some utensils had been smashed. Colonel Bordeaux at the side said that he could do nothing, and Franz could only sigh helplessly.

He pretended to be angry and said: "Look at the good things you two have done! Apologize quickly and let the kind and generous Madam Sophie forgive you."

"I'm sorry," the two little girls said timidly, because Madam Sophie was really scary, at least she was the scariest figure in the entire Schönbrunn Palace.

Archduke Franz Karl was an optimist, and would ride horses with them occasionally, and he would not be angry even if his head was broken occasionally.

Although Franz is tough and cunning, he doesn't have the same knowledge as a child.

Franz's three brothers, Maximilian likes to play tricks on girls, but his combat effectiveness is terribly low, and he has been beaten several times by Lakshmi Payi.

But the former doesn't admit it, and always likes to pretend to be indifferent.In fact, Maria could push Maximilian down, but the former still couldn't bear to bully this weak second brother.

Ludwig (the third child) is a tall and tough man, who is religious, and he will not be angry with the two little girls.

Franz's group of friends who were interested in Lakshmi Pay were all beaten by the latter, and those who were interested in Maria were all beaten by Franz.

But there are also those who have no memory, such as Edward Taffy, who has no malicious intentions but is curious, but his combat power is extremely low and he is often bullied by two girls.

The low-level maids and guards like the two little girls very much, and the high-level maids and nuns will not choose to make trouble with them.

As for the two little girls in Adjani's eyes, they are almost like blank paper, and Franz and Mrs. Sophie also forbid this guy to get close to the two little ghosts.

It is not for nothing that Mrs. Sophie was called "the only man in Habsburg" by the people at that time in history. She was very strict and could hardly get away with it.

However, due to the appearance of Franz, his character has improved a lot. If there is no change as in history, then the Indian version of Joan of Arc may end early.

Closer to home, Mrs. Sophie was tired of hearing the word "I'm sorry" and obviously it didn't work, so Franz immediately moved over to drag the two brats back.

"My lord, don't worry, I'll take care of them! Bordeaux, go and lock the two of them in the study."

Bordeaux knowingly lifted Lakshmi Payi, who was tightly bound with one hand, and led little Maria to the study with the other hand.

"Shut up in confinement! No food allowed!"

Although Franz was talking, it was just for the two little guys to be quiet in the study for a while. Naturally, they had food, drinks, and movies to watch.

At this time, although the photography technology of the Austrian Empire had been greatly developed, the progress in electricity could not keep up. Therefore, even the royal family still used relatively old hand-cranked projectors, but they were still far ahead of other countries.

As for not being allowed to eat, it is even more nonsense. Franz's study is directly connected to the kitchen, and food will be delivered to him at any time.

Thinking of this, little Maria couldn't help showing a smile on her face. Although it was just a subconscious behavior, it couldn't escape Madam Sophie's eyes, and the latter immediately understood what was going on.

When little Maria passed by Mrs. Sophie, her buttocks were twisted severely. The little girl could only wipe her tears and ran two quick steps.

"Frantz, you are too shameful!"

Franz was a little confused by this sudden sentence, and blinked back.

"My lord, there are only two children, let them clean up the things they messed up, and then conduct a self-criticism in front of everyone.

As for the broken things, the people who encounter them will pay double."

"They didn't smash anything or hit anyone. They have been playing in the racecourse since they were taught a lesson last time."

After listening to Mrs. Sophie's words, Franz was a little confused. After all, he thought that the two little girls had been punished once and lost their memory.

"Then what did they do?"

"What did you do?" Madam Sophie snorted coldly, "Who taught you how to ride a horse?"

"Me." Franz said bewilderedly.

"Why didn't Maria sit sideways!"

Franz said subconsciously: "How dangerous that is! What if my sister falls."

"Did you fall? Women have been sitting on their sides for thousands of years! Do you want a ladylike image of Maria like you!"

"Mother, you think too much. It's important for a kid to be safe and happy as a lady."

Franz's theory was complete fart to Madame Sophie who lived in the nineteenth century, and the latter pinched the former's ears.

"You bastard, if this news gets out, how will you let your sister marry in the future?"

"Then silence all the witnesses?" Franz asked tentatively. Sophie really thought about it seriously for a few seconds before realizing the playful eyes of the eldest son, and she couldn't help but increase her strength in her hand.

"Mother, it hurts! If I lose my ears, it will affect my image a lot!"

Madam Sophie let go of her hand and sighed, and Franz rubbed his ears quickly.

Women in this era are not allowed to straddle, only side-riding is ladylike, and straddling is even considered a performance of debauchery.

There was a reason why women siderided at the time, because generally women, especially nobles, had to wear long skirts.

At the same time, straddling and splitting legs is also considered indecent behavior, which is mainly due to the traditional cultural and religious concepts at that time.

In order to maintain a ladylike image, ladies must ride sideways and use side saddles.

But in fact, although side riding looks elegant, it is not one or two points more difficult than straddle riding.

Because all the usual equestrian theories will be invalid, even professional cavalry may not be able to maneuver freely in the way of side riding.

Side riding requires an almost insane sense of balance and "horse sense", usually only those nomads and equestrian masters who were born on horseback can achieve.

It is obviously too much to ask two little girls with this kind of request.

Especially for his younger sister, Franz also specially made a set of safety protective gear for her.No matter how docile a pony is, they are animals that may be affected by various factors.

However, Franz's considerations seemed completely unreasonable to Madame Sophie.

"Franz, you have time to study these weird things, why not study your lifelong events."

Madam Sophie's sudden attack made Franz a little confused. The latter felt that he was only two years old before he became an adult, and that he might not have time to think about life-long events at all. After all, he could only think about other things if he survived.

"16 years old, you should be an adult."
