"He was one of the victims? £20,000? ”

Ernst was stunned by the news that Archduke Ferdinand had brought back, he really didn't expect the Assassin to be able to make up such a bizarre story.

Recalling that on the way to the café, a young man in a jacket with a large-brimmed hat approached him with a dagger, and was subdued to the ground by Kurt, and two security officers "happened" to pass by and took the Assassin away. Combined with the current situation, it is not clear how Ernst is that this is an operation against himself.

The poor Jewish merchant was cheated of 20,000 pounds for the title of son of God, not to mention outsiders, even Messirian looked at Ernst with suspicion, after all, the story from the mouth of Archduke Ferdinand was too true, not to mention that Ernst did have a lot of wealth of unknown origin in his hands.

"Looks like I'm going to be doomed!"

With a wry smile, Ernst didn't take it too seriously, after all, Archduke Ferdinand and Emperor Franz knew the origin of his wealth, and as long as Karl's faction didn't open his mouth, the matter would not be too serious.

Archduke Ferdinand nodded: "The worst result is to let you leave Vienna earlier, or even ...... It's hard to get a chance to come back in the future. ”

At this moment, Archduke Ferdinand's expression was very serious and solemn, which made Ernst very puzzled, this is not too bad, why is Archduke Ferdinand such an expression?

If Ernst knew that Emperor Franz intended him to take over the position of Crown Prince of the future Archduke Ferdinand, then he would not have such thoughts at this moment, but unfortunately he would not know about this matter for the time being.

Duchess Sophie, who seemed to know something, wanted to speak, but at the moment when she opened her mouth, Archduke Ferdinand stopped what she was about to say, hesitated, Duchess Sophie sighed, and her mood was a little sluggish.

Ernst didn't notice the two of them, he was still thinking about Moravia, so he might not be able to leave Vienna before Christmas, and it seemed that the things that had been brought out of the mysterious space during this period of time needed to be dealt with as soon as possible.

In more than a month, Ernst's biggest gain was to salvage a World War II-era tank, but the tank looked as if it had been swept into the turbulence of time and space during the war, and it looked quite broken.

Beyond the tank are some daily necessities, what is the most in the turbulence of time and space? Now Ernst has a fundamental conclusion that there are the most cargo ships.

In fact, this is normal, there are too many mysterious places in the ocean, and most of these mysterious places are space-time contact points, and those lost ships are actually in the space-time turbulence.

The daily necessities were brought by the cargo ships, such as grain, medicine, tea, ......, and because there were so many things, Talo Balbo rented three more warehouses in Vienna to meet Ernst's needs.

There were still 41 days left before Karl could return the £320,000, and during that time Ernst himself earned more than £6,000 in cash and £20,000 in goods, which he believed was enough to cover the cost of Ernst's construction of the territory.

"When am I leaving?"

Seeing that Ernst was not too sad and even wanted to leave in a hurry, a trace of bitterness flashed in Archduke Ferdinand's heart, could it be that there was nothing that attracted Ernst in the slightest?

"Emperor Franz will allow you to leave after Christmas, and we will take care of the rest, and we have already reached a conclusion on the disposition of Burrell."

Burrell, the butler that Ernst saw as soon as he came to the palace, he stood up and carried the black cauldron this time did not surprise Ernst, but what made Ernst misunderstand was that he did not think that Karl and Otto Franz did not mean anything against him, everything was Burrell's own decision.

If not, it would not have been easy to get Burrell out of Vienna, as he was also quite a big player in Karl's camp.

In fact, Archduke Otto Franz was the most difficult one at this time, he was very angry with Burrell but did not have a good way to deal with it, after all, he also acted like this for Karl's position as crown prince, and he had succeeded.

Emperor Franz's intention to let Ernst succeed Ferdinand as the crown prince in the future was leaked by Austrian Prime Minister Ernest von Cobbel, and the purpose of his leak was not to let Ernst inherit the throne in the future.

In the eyes of Count Ernest von Cooper, the king should be true to his word, it was Emperor Franz who forced Archduke Ferdinand to revoke his son to inherit the throne, and now it is he who wants Ernst to inherit the throne, how can Count Ernest von Coebel want his old friend to be a capricious man?

At the same time, it was easy to attract a backlash from the aristocracy, which was not what he wanted, and Count Ernest von Coop loved the country and did not allow the country to be in turmoil.

Burrell had not yet made up his mind to do so, and it was because of the leakage of Count Ernest von Cour that he planned such an assassination time, forcing Ernst to leave Vienna and lose the possibility of the succession.

Personally, Otto Franz and even Karl were dissatisfied with Burrell's approach, but on the other hand, they could not help but acknowledge Burrell's contribution to their faction.

There was no need to explain the matter at this point, and it was precisely because of this thought that Ernst's misunderstanding of them continued for many years, until ......

The £350,000 was delivered to Ernst the next day, and the money that should have been returned to him in 40 days was returned to him early and an additional £30,000 was added, which undoubtedly deepened the misunderstanding.

Archduke Ferdinand conveyed Ernst's message to Emperor Franz, who sighed faintly and approved Ernst's request to go to the realm, but at the same time he also gave Ernst a great gift.

Honorary Commander of the Moravian Army Regiment? Brigadier general rank?

Looking at the gifts from Emperor Franz, Ernst was tempted to say, if you could exchange all these things for pounds sterling and give them to me? Just like Carl!

The ranks of honorary regimental commander and brigadier general were not attractive to Ernst, even though every male aspired to become a general himself.

Duchess Sophie's health is a little bad, maybe it is Ernst's matter that makes her a little aggrieved, maybe the contrast between hope and result is too great, all in all, Duchess Sophie is sick and not lightly ill.

Lord Sophie and Maisimilian stayed by her side to take care of her, and Ernst also stayed with Duchess Sophie most of his spare time, but he was about to leave and had a lot of things to deal with, so it was normal to be negligent.

Sick herself, Ernst's negligence made Duchess Sophie misunderstand that Ernst didn't feel anything about this home, and some psychological pressure made her even more sick, and she was just recuperating but turned out to be a doctor who came and went through the mansion.

Archduke Ferdinand was even affected, and in the face of his beloved wife and work, Archduke Ferdinand undoubtedly chose the former, which made some of the nobles and officials who supported Archduke Ferdinand obviously a little disappointed.
