Maria nodded in understanding, and at the same time bent down and said with gratitude, "I thank you on behalf of Eugen, Uncle Eugen. I would also like to ask you to arrange that I am going to Cosenza. ”

"No way!" This time, the prince didn't think about it, so he directly and forcefully refused, and then his tone softened again, and he persuaded him: "Maria, Cosenza now has a terrible disease, and it is too dangerous for you to go there, neither I nor your father will allow you to pass." ”

"Uncle Eugen, you know me." From beginning to end, Maria's expression didn't change much, but you could feel a very strong determination in her.

"If I say I'm going, I'm going to go, no matter how I do. So if you can help me get to Cosenza, then I will be very grateful to you. ”

Sunlight slanted in through the window and shone on Princess Maria's face. Her eyes were bright and clear, like a clear spring, from which an indomitable will flowed.

The prince felt a headache, this Princess Maria was too powerful, let alone him, even His Majesty the Emperor couldn't do anything about her. But Cosenza's place was too dangerous, and he wouldn't want Maria to pass if he could.

After thinking about it, the prince had no choice but to say helplessly: "Your Excellency, you can go back to the dormitory and wait for a while, and you don't need to go to the small place in Cosenza, I will send someone directly to bring Eugen to WYN, you see if it will work." ”

Feeling the pressure from Maria, Prince Eugen used honorifics, and in the entire palace, including His Majesty Charles VI, who pretended to be crazy and stupid, there was no one who was not afraid of this audacious Princess Maria.

Even after five years, terrifying legends about her are still circulating in the palace. Her strongest point is not in making trouble, but in the side where she is still reasonable after making trouble, and in the end you can only suffer a dumb loss and consider yourself unlucky.

Princess Maria's cleverness is as famous in the palace as her ability to make trouble, and anyone will feel helpless in the face of such a smart and off-line princess.

At this moment, the prince has actually taken a step back, Eugen stays in Cosenza, he may be disposed of by anyone, or assassinated, but if he is brought back to Viana, if nothing else, at least the safety level is guaranteed.

As for what to do with Eugen, that's another story.

Princess Maria's proposal to go to Cosenza was actually to act as an umbrella for Eugen, and now that the prince has expressed his position, her purpose has been achieved.

"Hahaha, you're so nice, Uncle Eugen, after so many years, I suddenly noticed that you are handsome again. It's really strange that you say that everyone else is getting uglier and uglier the older you are, but you are getting older and more handsome, and even my father and the emperor can't compare to you now when they were young. Princess Maria smiled and ran to the prince, holding his arm and patting his ass.

Prince Eugen had long known Princess Maria's temperament, so he was not surprised, but smiled lovingly and said, "You...... Okay, don't slap me on the back, since you're out, go and meet your father, you haven't seen each other for a long time. Your father misses you very much, and he always tells me that he shouldn't have agreed to your agreement in the first place, and your father and daughter can't even see each other a few times. ”

Speaking of her father, Princess Maria also had a warm current in her heart, why didn't she miss her father, especially when she heard that her father's health was deteriorating, it made her very worried.

With a word of agreement, Maria said goodbye to the princess and ran to the palace of Charles VI. She is like a warm sun, bringing a lively, light, spring-like atmosphere to this palace, washing away the bleak atmosphere of autumn.

In the Zwinger Palace in Dresden, the Duchy of Saxony in the north, the atmosphere seems to have crossed autumn and entered the cold winter.

On the internal execution ground of the palace, there was a row of more than a dozen prisoners in prison uniforms, all of them men, all of them of similar size, and if you look at them roughly, you will find that each of them bears some resemblance to Eugen.

Two sturdy soldiers held a prisoner and pressed him to his knees, while the executioner, armed with a machete, slowly approached from his left side.

Count Mead's wife, Theresia, sat high in the stands on the side, the fat on her face was highlighted by her too hideous expression, her gathered facial features were unnaturally twisted, her thick arms were leaning against the wooden railing in front of the stands, and she yelled frantically: "Kill me, hack all these pieces to death for me!" ”

As he spoke, the executioner raised his machete and slashed at the prisoner who was kneeling on the ground. There was a dull tearing sound, and the prisoner's head rolled to the ground.

These were ordinary prisoners in the castle prison, most of whom were the least to die, but were sentenced to death by an order from Theresia.

In other places, beheadings have been largely replaced by more 'elegant' guillotines. It is only in Saxony, a country that admires primitive force, that this form is still preserved.

Another prisoner's head was cut off, and Trecia's face was still very ugly, she turned her head sharply and yelled at Duke Billund next to her: "These are not, they are not Eugen's mongrel, I want you to kill Eugen, I want you to avenge my lover!" ”

In normal times, Teresia would never dare to speak so loudly to her brother ---- Duke Billon, but now, she has no scruples.

Her two lovers, both behind her back and on the surface, died because of Eugen, and one of them was beheaded by Eugen himself, this deep hatred has burned her eyes and buried her reason.

Duke Billund, who was sitting on the side, frowned, how could he not be angry, Eugen's behavior can be said to have ripped off the face of their Duchy of Saxony, and then trampled on both feet in the dung.

If he could, he would even want to send a large army directly to the south to conquer Eugen's territory, capture him and all his men, and let them go through the most brutal torture and die in endless remorse.

Unfortunately, he could not do so, as Saxony and Lebor were separated by two dukedoms, which was equivalent to spanning the entire Holy Roman Empire. There were also Poles on his rear border, and if he easily mobilized a large army, it was likely to cause unimaginable serious consequences.

Moreover, even if he did lead his troops to the south, it would depend on whether the Habsburgs would let him take Eugen, at least for now, Charles VI was still the emperor of the empire.
