The news could not be blocked, and by the time Archduke Ferdinand and Archduchess Sophia were on their way back to Vienna, the news had spread throughout Europe.

When it comes to tragedy, few people can go through as much pain in his life as Emperor Franz, who was 83 years old and looked stunned for a long time when he learned that his heir was paralyzed on the bed, and then fell ill......

His son (Crown Prince Rudolph) committed suicide because of emotional problems; One of his brothers went to Mexico to be emperor and was shot; Another brother mysteriously disappeared after relinquishing the title of duke; Worst of all, his wife, Sisi, was assassinated with a file, and the murderer was a neurotic anarchist who was supposed to assassinate the King of Italy, but because he couldn't afford to buy a train ticket, he assassinated her instead.

Although Archduke Ferdinand is not the most ideal candidate for crown prince in Emperor Franz's heart, Archduke Ferdinand is already very good in the current state, but now ......

Ernst Franz? Emperor Franz naturally attached great importance to this nephew, and even in his eyes this was a more suitable candidate for the position of Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire than Archduke Ferdinand, but unfortunately Ernst had no chance, because the establishment of the Czech Duchy made him stand on the opposite side of almost all the Austro-Hungarian nobles.

Could something happen in the Czech principality in Austria-Hungary? No one can guarantee this, because if Emperor Franz announced that Ernst would become the crown prince of the empire, it is estimated that even the rule of the Habsburgs could be shaken, and Emperor Franz would not dare to violate such a risk.

Archduke Ferdinand had not yet returned to Vienna, and at this time Vienna had begun to emerge a stream of undercurrents, with Archduke Otto and his family vying to appear in the newspapers and Archduke Ferdinand's family trying to preserve themselves, some waiting for things to turn around, some going to the Czech Duchy, some switching to Otto's line, and of course a small number of them wanted to support Messimilian as the new crown prince of Austria-Hungary.

At the same time, countries around the world:

Kaiser Wilhelm II was watching a horse race in the Baltic when he heard about it and quickly interrupted the race and returned to Berlin.

The Vatican sheltered the Pope from a serious illness and was praying when he heard the news. He fainted and had to be escorted back to his room.

It's terrible, it's terrible, and I'm so sad. - Emperor Franz in his hospital bed

In a small courtyard in Vienna, it was very quiet, the Sophie Lord and Maisimilian sat alone in the courtyard, and the fiancé of the Sufi Lord Fred of Denmark looked at the lonely siblings quietly.

"Sophie ......"

"What should we do now, Lieutenant General Genus persuaded us to go to the Czech Republic......"

Before the Sophie could finish answering Prince Fred's words, he was interrupted by Mesimilian, who replied very firmly: "Dad is not dead, Mom is still on the way, we don't need to go to the Czech principality!" ”

"...... of Messilian"

What the Sophie Lord wanted to say was not said in the end, because she already knew that Mysimilian had made up her mind, and sighed in her heart, why bother? It's all a family, it's just that there is some sadness on the face, and it's not just Ernst who was wrong at the beginning.

Compared with the Sophie Lord as the fiancée of Mysimian, perhaps Victoria knows better that Mysimilian is not just because of this reason, Mysimilian is his older brother, and he can't let go of his dignity to seek protection from his younger brother.

The room gradually quieted down, and at the same time, a young girl in Berlin, Germany, who remembered Misimian, was stunned looking out the window in the direction of Vienna, she was very worried, worried about the state of the young man who seemed to be strong but was actually very fragile at this time, and at the same time she was also worried that there would be some changes in the marriage.

Wilhelm II liked her very much, and William II was a little dissatisfied with the previous marriage, but considering that Archduke Ferdinand became the Austro-Hungarian Emperor, Mysimilian was likely to become the crown prince, so Wilhelm II decided to marry his niece to Messilian, but now, ......

"Worried that your uncle will cancel the wedding?"

At this time, only Victoria's mother came, and as for her prince's father, it was estimated that he was still outside at this time, and he didn't know that he was messing around at that banquet at this time, and such a sensitive topic was not suitable for her father to talk to her.

Slightly red, Victoria did not admit or deny it, but her attitude actually proved everything, and with a slight smile, the prince and lady took her into her arms and patted her on the back as she had done when she was a child, and said: "Don't worry, your uncle will not cancel your wedding, and don't forget that Messilian's brother is Ernst Franz." ”

Czech Grand Duke Ernst Franz, this is perhaps the hottest topic and name in the whole of Europe some time ago, because he directly scorched the whole of Central Europe like a scorching sun. Becoming the Grand Duke of a country at a young age, such figures are rare in Europe, but there are still some, but there is only one who is not inherited.

Born in the Habsburgs, the Austro-Hungarian Empire sat idly by? Although these are the causes and effects of Ernst's successful statehood, this is only an accident and not a necessity, and it is not necessary or almost impossible to succeed with another person. First of all, they don't have that kind of financial resources, and secondly, they don't have as many loyal officers and soldiers as Ernst, how can they build a country without these two? How to stabilize the local economy and ensure the stability of the country?

"Ernst Franz, Grand Duke of the Czech Republic?"

Seeing that her daughter looked a little puzzled, the prince's wife smiled and nodded: "That's right, your uncle values Ernst very much, because the safety of East Prussia is on him, because it is impossible for his uncle to cancel your wedding to Messilian." ”

The safety of East Prussia and why Ernst was important to Princess Victoria was not clear, but none of it mattered, as long as she knew that her wedding would not be canceled.

Princess Victoria loves Misimilian? That's naturally negative, but among her peers, Victoria didn't find a more suitable person than Maisimian, not to mention that even if there was no love, there was still friendship between them, after all, they were old friends for many years, and they had met and played together when they were children.

After a moment of happiness, Princess Victoria could not help but become worried, and when she saw her mother's puzzled gaze, she said, "But, the relationship between Messilian and Ernst is not very good......

Princess Victoria's worries made the prince and lady laugh uncontrollably: "Just because Misimilian and Ernst don't mean that Ernst doesn't value the relationship with his brother, as far as I know, every year Ernst arranges for people to send gifts to Vienna, including a gift from Maisimilian." ”

"Then how did I not know?"

The Prince's Lady laughed silently, and Victoria knew that she had asked a stupid question, how could Mysimilian say such a thing?

While Berlin is beautiful again at night, Prague is full of anger, which naturally extends to the whole city.

"I want that assassin dead!"

This was Ernst's first sentence after the arrival of the head of the Fallen Wings, and Bert couldn't help but say when he heard it: "This is not the right time to ......"

He didn't finish his words, because Ernst's cold eyes had already looked over, and as time passed, Ernst's body had begun to have a strong coercion, which was a natural skill that would automatically appear in a high position for a long time, unless it was a truly benevolent emperor, it was normal and common for such skills to appear.

"International condemnation is just condemnation, and the world still needs to rely on strength to speak after all!"

Death to an assassin Germany and Austria-Hungary will use military forces against Ernst? That would be a no, not to mention that these allies, even Britain, France, and the United States, would not have used force against Ernst because of an assassin, and it is even possible that they would not have an official condemnation. A madman is not terrible, but what is terrible is that a madman is still carrying an AK47, and there is no doubt that Ernst is in this state at this time.
