Chapter 426: Maria is missing
Thinking of this, Eugen felt more and more pleasing to the eye when he looked at this Johann Strauss, and he thought that his songs still needed to be compiled, so he decided to give this task to Johann Strauss.
In any case, since he can mix in the Golden Hall, presumably Johann Strauss's musical level will not be too low.
And his requirements will not be too high, and at the same time, after the music is composed, it can be played directly in the Golden Hall, and even Eugen has already thought of an arrangement of a series of songs.
In addition to the song as a birthday gift, he is even ready to show all the songs that he has an impression of in this era, and when the time comes, familiar songs will be sung on the streets and alleys, which is very exciting to think about.
"John, you don't have to be polite to me in the future, just call me Eugen, hehehe, I have an honorable task for you." With that, Eugen put a hand on Johann Strauss's shoulder, looking very solemn.
Johann Strauss was a little confused by Eugen's actions, and he thought to himself that he was just trying to make some gains, how could this be so big, like he was going to sell himself.
However, when he heard that Eugen was going to give him a task, since it was a mission, then there must be a reward, thinking like this, Johann Strauss was not so afraid, but felt that this was a rare opportunity.
Unfortunately, at this time, Johann Strauss did not realize how much this task in Eugen's mouth would change the trajectory of his life.
The original Johann Strauss was a master artist, he composed elegant tunes, and he was also a famous character.
However, after working with Eugen, his work has completely changed its taste, and it can even be said that there is a historic leap, jumping into a deep pit.
In later generations, Johann Strauss's fame became even greater, and his songs were sung all over the world, but his artistic status was greatly reduced.
Because these songs are so easy to understand, they are like folk songs circulating in the mountains, and although the artistic style is not very high, they sound very good, and it can even be said to be brainwashing, which makes people want to stop.
In this way, a generation of music master Johann Strauss, after coming into contact with Eugen, embarked on a road of no return.
After agreeing on the gift and agreeing with Johann Strauss, Eugen walked out of the Vienna Musikverein to return to his residence at Schönbrunn Palace to think about the song as a gift.
It's just that as soon as he walked out of the door of the Golden Hall, suddenly two soldiers rushed over, stood still in front of Eugen, and then said with a nervous expression: "Oh no, Marquis Eugen, Princess Maria, she's missing!" ”
"What!" Hearing this, Eugen was stunned in place, he never expected that at this time, Princess Maria would actually disappear.
The word missing always seemed to indicate something bad, and in an instant, many images passed through Eugen's mind, Princess Maria was kidnapped, Princess Maria was taken away, Princess Maria was killed, and then the body was thrown into the sea......
"Don't worry, explain to me clearly, what's going on!" Although he was nervous and scared to the extreme, Eugen still calmed down and looked at the two soldiers and said in a deep voice.
The two soldiers saluted and said, "I'm sorry, Marquis, we don't know the details, but His Majesty Charles VI is waiting for you in the palace now." ”
Hearing this, Eugen immediately dodged a horse from the hands of a pedestrian on the side of the road, and rushed towards the palace on horseback without hesitation, leaving the two soldiers behind, and in a blink of an eye they were out of sight.
Rushing into the palace, Eugen saw Charles VI standing in the center of the palace at a glance, Charles VI was holding a white note in his hand, his face was full of anxiety, and there was a faint sense of guilt.
Seeing Eugen come in, Charles VI said bitterly: "Alas, this kid ......."
"Huh? What is the situation now, Maria is missing? Your Majesty? Eugen walked into the palace in a panic, stood opposite Charles VI and asked, he could not have imagined that Princess Maria had disappeared only three months before the wedding.
Charles VI sighed, he cared about Princess Maria no less than Eugen, but his face was still calm, and when he heard Eugen ask, he simply handed the letter in his hand to Eugen and said, "This...... You, you'd better see for yourself. ”
Eugen thought it was a blackmail letter or something, and when he heard this, he immediately took the blank paper and looked at it, but at first glance, he found that the letter was actually handwritten by Princess Maria.
Looking further down, it turns out that Princess Maria was neither kidnapped nor persecuted, in fact, she 'disappeared' on her own initiative.
The letter said that she had been a royal princess since she was a child, but she had never enjoyed even a single day of freedom, and in her eyes, the palace was like a huge prison.
When she was a child, she tried to escape from the palace countless times, but failed because of her lack of ability, and later imprisoned herself in the Tulip Palace in order to fulfill the gambling contract with Charles VI.
And now, she is about to enter the prison of marriage again, before and after, one prison after another wraps herself, so that she has a strong urge to go out and see.
She does not regret being Eugen's wife, and she is willing to fulfill her responsibilities, but in this last moment, she wants to be willful.
So, she left the palace alone, and Charles VI didn't expect Princess Maria to leave, so he really let her leave.
This letter was written three days ago, which means that Princess Maria had left three days ago, and if you think about it, Princess Maria had not been seen in these three days.
After reading the letter, Eugen's hanging heart finally relaxed, and Princess Maria finally did not encounter any real threat.
But think about it again, at this moment, there must be a lot of potential threats around Princess Maria, although she is very smart, she has not experienced much hardship.
The heart is sinister, she is alone, she is still a beautiful woman, in case she encounters any bad people, the situation is bound to be very dangerous.
Eugen looked up at Charles VI, knowing that Charles VI must also have this idea, so he said directly: "No way, although Maria said this, after all, there is still a possibility of danger, so we must start looking for her with all our strength to ensure her safety." ”
