Chapter 29: Burrell's Conspiracy
After meeting and talking, Ernst naturally did not have to stay in the medium-sized library of Emperor Franz, when he came to Ernst was still a rich man, but now Ernst is not only penniless but also continues to find a way to raise 250,000 pounds.
Archduke Ferdinand was beside Ernst, and when he looked at him in a daze, and misunderstood that he was worried about the remaining 50,000 pounds, he said: "If there is any difficulty, I hope you will speak, I am not only the Archduke of Austria-Hungary." ”
The sincere and serious gaze warmed Ernst's heart, and the warmth from his family was not the first time he felt, but it was the first time in this life that he enjoyed the mellow fatherly love, and Ernst was a little greedy and at the same time, his heart became more and more determined not to let history repeat itself.
"I will, because you're my dad!"
Archduke Ferdinand was delighted, and he took Ernst by the hand and walked towards the mansion where he lived, and then Karl, who went out, looked at the backs of father and son with envy. Compared with Ferdinand's selfless paternal love, although Archduke Otto Franz also loved Karl, he spent more time with women as a playboy.
"Your Excellency Duke Karl, Prince Ernst is a rather difficult little fellow."
There is no need to look back, Carl knows who is behind him, and he doesn't like this guy who is completely covered by power, although what he does is very beneficial to himself.
"Butler Burrell, maybe it would be more pleasing if you had fewer words."
Seeing that after Burrell said this, Duke Karl turned to leave, and his unhesitating movements were completely watched by Burrell, but he didn't care, because he knew Karl's character.
Ignoring Karl's disgust for himself, Burrell just looked in the direction Archduke Ferdinand and Ernst had left, with a smile in his eyes, a smile that the plot had succeeded.
It was not clear to anyone that Karl had put forward his suggestion that Ernst should be involved, and although Karl felt that Burrell was not at ease, he did not notice anything wrong with it when he thought about it, and he would not have spoken freely if it were not.
Is there really something wrong? It depends on who and from what direction it looks at, and now it seems to be a good thing for both sides, but if there are some mistakes in the middle, then even if Karl is not ready to turn his face, can Ernst come to the door to provoke him to bear it?
Yes, in any case, Karl would not have thought that Burrell was going to do it on the railway, knowing that it was a project he presided over, which had an extraordinary impact on his merits, and in his opinion, Burrell would not be against himself in any way.
Many times people ignore the influence of selfish desires, and it is true that Burrell had a good relationship with Otto Franz, but he also had his own pursuits, even those pursuits, which were above friendship.
Don't say that it's just to sabotage Karl's first big feat, as long as he has the advantage and even he doesn't mind letting Archduke Karl lose the chance to inherit the crown prince in the future.
Truth be told, in Burrell's opinion, Karl was not the best candidate for the crown prince, because he was as capable as Archduke Ferdinand, which was not good news for a man who wanted to become the prime minister of the empire, and it would probably be best if everyone was as uninhibited and uninhibited as Archduke Otto Franz.
Naturally, no one else knew what Burrell was thinking, and when he returned to the small building where the crown prince lived, looking at Mysimilian who was reading a book in the hall, Archduke Ferdinand couldn't help asking, "What is Sophie doing?" ”
"Do you mean my sister or my mother? It didn't matter, they were all helping Ernst clean up the room. ”
Just asked, and then Mesimilian reacted that whether it was the Duchess of Sophie or the Lord of Sophie, they were all doing the same thing, and when he answered, he couldn't help but glance at Ernst, and there was some pity in his eyes, which made Ernst a little strange.
"Then why didn't you choose to help?"
Archduke Ferdinand let go of Ernst's little hand, sat down on the sofa and motioned for Ernst to sit down as well, and Ernst, who was watching the hall, shook his head and refused, but walked to the hall for a clock.
Ernst's movements obviously attracted the attention of Archduke Ferdinand, and seeing that Ernst was very interested in this clock, he couldn't help but explain: "This is a wedding gift from an English nobleman, it is said to be a gift for the Manchu royal family, if you like it, I can give it to you." ”
After all, this is his own home, Ernst glanced at Mysimilian and said a little shyly: "If my brother has no opinion, then I want to take it with me when I go to the territory." ”
Ernst's words made Mysimilian a little speechless, he glanced at Ernst and said: "At this time, you know to call me brother, but I don't want to and it doesn't work, after all, now I am only Prince Mysimilian and not Duke Mysimian, and everything here still belongs to Archduke Ferdinand." ”
Messilian's words were a joke, and Archduke Ferdinand laughed, and Ernst once again realized that Ferdinand's family was different from other royal families.
"You are the future master of this place, so I naturally want to ask for your opinion."
That being said, it was already clear from Ernst's attitude that the bell now belonged to Ernst and not to Archduke Ferdinand.
"What are you talking about?"
The harmonious environment of the three made the Duchess Sophie who went downstairs very happy, this is the life she has dreamed of for many years, and the past was also very good, but the lack of Ernst made the Duchess Sophie feel a little regretful.
Archduke Ferdinand stood up and hugged Duchess Sophie and kissed her on the cheek, then said, "It's nothing, you've helped Ernst clean up the room?" ”
Duchess Sophie nodded and then looked at Ernst: "Little one, look at your room, if there is anything you don't like, we'll change it." ”
Bub...... It was not the first time that Ernst had heard such a title, but it was the first time that he had been so affectionate, and he couldn't help but take Duchess Sophie's hand and accompany her upstairs with Duchess Sophie's incomparably doting smile.
Looking at the backs of the two of them, Archduke Ferdinand also felt very satisfied, he no longer lacked power and wealth, and now he longed for a perfect family, and he was glad that God had given Ernst back, even if he was still full of worries before Ernst returned.
"Misimian, take Ernst around tomorrow."
Archduke Ferdinand's request to Messirian would not refuse, although he would meet up with a few friends to play football tomorrow, but compared to taking his brother to see the palace, those were trivial things.
Seeing that Archduke Ferdinand had just been about to read today's newspaper, Archduke Ferdinand suddenly remembered something, and reminded: "But don't clash with others. ”
Archduke Ferdinand's intention made Mesimilian feel a little remorseful, not only his own family living in the palace, Otto Franz's family was better, not too deliberate, but there was a cousin Dominic's family who was very unfriendly.
Of course, that's not the main thing, the main thing is that the three sons of the Dominic family have extraordinary combat effectiveness, and the second of them even got the guidance of a sword master, and they are very arrogant in the palace.
Mysimilian has suffered losses more than once at their hands, and the sons of the Dominic family often take the initiative to provoke and trouble him, as if they like to bully Mysimian.
