War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

While Franz was thinking about his future plan, he threw Maximilian upside down to the mat.

"How many times has this happened?" someone whispered.

"Are you asking today? Or all of them?" Richard Metternich smiled.

"Franz is so awesome, smart and capable of fighting. He is really my idol!"

Edward Tafe's words immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Wingless Watson. Since Franz has always been the center of the small group, it was difficult for him to establish too close a relationship with him.

So Wingris found another way to hang out with Maximilian, and naturally he had to speak for him at this time.

"Taffy, are you stupid? Why don't you do a striptease to add to the fun? I think Archduke Maximilian's perseverance is worth learning from."

"But a loser who has lost a hundred times is still a loser. There is only one winner." Cronini obviously did not agree with what Wenglis said.

"You guys, please stop arguing. We are all God's people. Do you think I'm right? Archduke Ludwig." Luca Ambras was born in a family that runs religious institutions, and he is obviously more interested in religion. interest.

Although Franz was a devout believer on the surface, he essentially only used religion as a tool to stabilize society.

Maximilian was a rare outlier in the Habsburg family. He was completely uninterested in religion. His challenges to Franz in all aspects seemed to others to be a confrontation with fate.

And Franz was like a natural chasm standing in front of him, no matter how hard he tried, he could not surpass it.

As for Ludwig (Franz's third brother), he has been religious since he was a child. He is the most honest and sensible among the three brothers, and he is also the one who is most like a traditional monarch.

Although they are just a group of kids now, they still choose sides.

Tired of watching Franz's one-sided beating, it's time for the naughty kids to repertoire.

This time it was still the Ashura Boxing Competition. Although Adjani won in the end, she still tried her best to bring down the "big female bear" who weighed more than 240 pounds.

"Archduke Franz, can you let them play some normal games? If we continue to fight like this, I will become Spartacus." Adjani said while combing her scattered hair.

Franz thought about it and realized that it would be unsightly to continue fighting like this, and it would have negative consequences and would affect the social atmosphere. In addition, these children are very likely to become powerful figures in the future, so they still need to be guided correctly.

"Then let them play football next time."

History proves that in the industrial era, football spread more easily. Contrary to common sense that many people think, basketball is not actually the number one sport in the world, or even the number one sport in the United States.

At the same time, football can also strengthen the body, cultivate team awareness, entertain the public, and at the same time promote the development of football-related industries, and can even increase the country's international influence in the name of sports.

In this era, there is a lack of entertainment means. The stadiums built can better consume people's excess energy. At the same time, sports and entertainment can also better reduce the stress of the industrial era. Games can also enhance people's sense of identity and cohesion with the country.

It's just that the thought of building a stadium in Vienna, where land is at a premium in the future, makes Franz feel sick.

Schönbrunn Palace, Royal Gardens.

Next to the Arc de Triomphe, two temporary tables were set up. Two hundred and twenty capable Forbidden Army soldiers spread out around. Every waiter had to be searched again as soon as he left the sight of the Forbidden Army. Every piece of food they brought had to go through two people. A dog's taster is required before it can be served.

Emperor Ferdinand I of the Austrian Empire and his brother Archduke Franz Karl had a very rare dinner together today.

The emperor's health was not good, but he was in a particularly high mood today. He picked up a fork and forked an almond ball, but he did not put it directly into his mouth as usual.

Instead, they were waiting for Archduke Franz Karl to fill up his wine glass, and then both of them raised their glasses and forks at the same time to put food into their mouths.

Ferdinand I shook the fork in his hand, and Archduke Franz Karl showed the empty wine glass to the emperor. The two brothers laughed.

Meanwhile, the air on the other side is much tighter.

If Queen Anna is a white lotus who likes to pretend to be innocent, then Mrs. Sophie is an extremely powerful black peony.

Queen Anna was born in a quiet corner of the Savoy royal family, while Lady Sophie was born in the noble Würterbach family.

Queen Anna is a beauty. Even though she is thirty-six years old, she is still round and round. She looks very charming despite her weak personality.

Mrs. Sophie is an out-and-out beauty, but there is a heroic air between her eyebrows that makes people around her breathless.

After listening to Mrs. Grandol's report before, Mrs. Sophie has already had murderous intentions, but she still needs final confirmation. After all, no matter how unpopular she is, the death of a queen cannot go silent.

However, Queen Anna's frequent drinking of water inadvertently saved herself. Because in the eyes of Mrs. Sophie, this little gesture was that she was hiding her nervousness.

"I see that Her Majesty the Queen's face doesn't look good. Maybe there is something hidden that makes her feel uncomfortable. How about I keep it for you." Mrs. Sophie went straight to the point and asked the Queen for the letter.

In fact, Mrs. Sophie doesn't care about that kind of thing at all, because although her husband has all kinds of bad things, he is a person who will believe in her unconditionally.

What Mrs. Sophie needs to do now is actually to see if the Queen will use this letter to blackmail her or use it to protect herself.

If it is the latter, then a short-sighted woman is not worth the risk of getting rid of her, but if it is the former, then Mrs. Sophie will not leave a woman in the world who will threaten her family.

"Would it make you feel better if you just take it out?"

"Of course, I believe that there are some things that have nothing to do with you. You have just been deceived by some people. You can trust me. After all, we are a family."

Mrs. Sophie was very happy that Queen Anna chose the latter. After all, she didn't want things to get out of hand.

Queen Anna took out a letter and put it on the table. In fact, it made her think for a long time whether to hand over her life-saving charm. But when she saw that the imperial guards around the palace had changed into new faces, she understood that this was not a life-saving talisman, but a life-saving talisman.

Just as Madame Sophie was about to take the letter away, Queen Anna held the other end of the letter with her hand.

"You promise?"

"I promise." Mrs. Sophie took the letter and turned to hand it to Count Xussel.

"Your Highness the Queen, I wish you good health and let us forget those bad memories." Mrs. Sophie raised her wine glass.

the other side.

"My stupid brother, your wife and my wife seem to be fighting."

"My poor brother, that's impossible!"

"My stupid brother, although I am not in good health, my sixth sense is far beyond ordinary people. My judgment cannot be wrong."

"My poor brother, my wife is invincible. She is the only one who hits others. How can anyone fight with her?"

As Archduke Franz Karl spoke, he took off his clothes and exposed his back, which had many scratches and marks of whipping.

"She used to hit me every night, but it's gotten better in the last few years."

"If you continue to show off your life, I will order all your wine to be replaced by water, and I will order that no one shall serve you wine."

"Okay brother, let's continue."

The ending was a bit rushed, mainly about the meeting of the five nations and the subsequent assassination. Due to the habit of speeding up, many plots were not written. Personally, I felt that the climax was not written well. I hope that the next chapter will improve.
