"These are ......"

Archduke Ferdinand looked puzzled as he watched the servants busily carry the various wooden boxes, and the Sophie lord looked at Ernst to wait for his explanation.

Ernst was a little embarrassed, what should he say? There will be a war in the future, and in the first war, Austria-Hungary may be defeated and collapse and separate, is he looking for a way out?

If he said this, not to mention the question that Archguild Ferdinand would not believe it, he estimated that the first thing he would do was to reprimand, after all, in the eyes of the aristocracy and royal family of Austria-Hungary at this time, Austria-Hungary was the second largest power in Europe.

It is the third most populous, the second largest in terms of land area, and the fifth largest in the world in terms of economy, which makes its self-confidence extremely inflated. Russian Empire? Archduke Ferdinand's goal was to use Germany as the standard. Of course, in fact, the Austro-Hungarian Empire is only half a pound and eight taels with the Russian Empire, and the two are real chess opponents and good talents!

The defeat in the First World War was mainly due to the political system and national problems of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and without these two things, even if Austria-Hungary went to war with the German Empire, it would not have lost the situation.

It was the estate of a French duke of the Habsburgs, where Ernst and Archduke Ferdinand would temporarily reside in the future.

After meeting and greeting his master, Ernst went to his room with some tiredness and was led by the servants of the manor, and he was not even in the mood to wander around Paris.

At about 6 o'clock, Ernst was woken up by the manor servant that it was time for dinner.

"Cousin Ernst!"

This is the youngest daughter of the owner of the manor, a very beautiful and shy little girl, and when she saw Ernst, her face was slightly red and she greeted her, and her voice like a mosquito would probably be ignored if it weren't for Ernst's good hearing.

"Cousin Elena!"

For the little girl Ernst still liked very much, if it were not for the fear of being rude, Ernst really wanted to touch the little girl's seemingly soft golden hair.

"How's the rest?"

"Very well, Uncle Lafayette."

After all, Ernst was not the eldest son of Archduke Ferdinand, and Duke Lafayette did not think too much of him, so he casually transferred the object to Archduke Ferdinand, and at this time Ernst found out that the Sophie lord was not there.

Seeing Ernst's movements, the little girl was very clever to see Ernst's purpose, so she asked with doubts: "Is Cousin Ernst looking for Cousin Sophie?" ”

"Well, Cousin Elena knows where she is?"

Nodding her little head, Elena looked very cute: "Today Aunt Marion said that the Champs-Élysées just had a cosmetics company, and Cousin Sophie followed her to ......"

Before Elena finished speaking, Ernst nodded clearly, no matter what time and era cosmetics, leather bags and other things have extraordinary allure for women.

"Aunt Marion?"

"Marion Lafayette."

It turned out to be the sister of the Duke of Lafayette, but it is said that this prestigious countess of Paris does not seem to have a good reputation, and some scandals will always have something to do with her.

Don't look at Elena as just a little girl who has just turned six, but she really knows a lot of things, and she knows what Ernst thinks by looking at her appearance, and she can't help but argue for her aunt.

"Aunt Marion is different from what is said outside, she is just friends with those people."

Those people, by Elena's mouth, were movie stars who were active in Paris, but those movie stars didn't have any social status now.

They were like theatrical clowns and jugglers, and their social status was even inferior to that of ordinary citizens in the eyes of the aristocracy. As a nobleman and the sister of the Duke of Lafayette, a nobleman in Paris, Countess Marion is naturally easy to make news when she mixes with those who have no social status all day long.

Ernst himself was also a little curious, so he directly asked Elena about her aunt, and after some explanation, Ernst understood.

The Marion Countess wouldn't want to devote herself to the film industry!

This was Ernst's first thought, and if it were, then it was expected that the Duke of Lafayette would be very angry, after all, in his eyes the matter could not be described as absurd.

A nobleman actually went to the theater to perform, which is an act that discredits the family!

Looking at Duke Lafayette with pity, as if sensing something, Duke Lafayette, who was talking to Archduke Ferdinand, could not help but look at Ernst.

Although Ernst withdrew his gaze quickly, he was caught by the Duke of Lafayette, for which he seemed puzzled, for he seemed to see pity in Ernst's eyes.

It's ridiculous that one of the biggest people in Paris should have someone look at him with pity, it must be his own delusion! The Duke of Lafayette thought.

It is estimated that even the Duke of Lafayette himself would not have understood, and after a few years he was really sad, so sad that even the declining nobles felt that they still had the determination to work hard after knowing his story.

"Queen Victoria's death had a great impact on Europe, and most importantly, Edward VII did not have Queen Victoria's appeal and influence."

The conversation between the Archduke Ferdinand and the Duke of Lafayette was listened to by Ernst, and Ensting couldn't help but nod his head, he agreed with the conversation between the two.

The 100-year peace in Europe is certainly influenced by the environment of the times, but it is also related to the overpower of Britain and the influence of Queen Victoria.

She is there, it is difficult for countries to have too many differences and wars, but without Queen Victoria, Edward VII will not be able to make all sides back down like his mother.

Ernst's appearance also fell into the eyes of Archduke Ferdinand and Duke Lafayette, Archduke Ferdinand was naturally not surprised, but Duke Lafayette was different, he was not aware of Ernst's past experience and some legendary events.

Upon inquiry, Archduke Ferdinand said a little about Ernst's past, and Duke Lafayette was amazed and added to their conversation, and no one noticed Elena's adoring face.

Cousin Ernst is really good, I don't understand what they say! The little girl's mind is very complicated, and today's worship impresses her deeply, and the future ......

Dinner did not last long before the Sophie lord and the prestigious countess of Paris returned, and it was not too early for even a noble woman like Marion Lafayette, who did not pay much attention to etiquette, to remain in the streets.

Marion Lafayette was beautiful, or the women of the Habsburg family were generally good-looking, genetically related but also indispensably linked to identity.

After all, if you don't have superior social prestige and wealth, then those beautiful noble ladies will not come to your arms or even marry you!

Not to mention that in the 21st century, the descendants of European aristocrats still often talk about it, and it is almost impossible for a poor boy to marry a princess. Don't you see that most of the European calls are stories of princes and princesses? Have you ever seen the inspirational event of a toad swallowing a swan in the East?
