Chapter 50: Burrell's Thoughts
"That's a shame."
Otto Franz had some regret on his face, but his regret was just funny for Ernst, because because he didn't benefit from it, it meant that Karl could earn more.
"Uncle Otto, maybe you don't realize it yourself, you are very hypocritical at this time."
Ernst's blunt words made Otto Franz's face blush, but the embarrassment on his face disappeared in an instant.
"Carl needs some grinding, too much success will make him ......"
Otto Franz was interrupted by Ernst laughing before he could finish his sentence: "I wonder if Uncle Otto has ever heard of the saying in the East, do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" ”
"I only know the words "I want my son to become a Chan."
Ernst and Otto Franz suddenly burst out laughing, and Ernst pointed at Otto Franz and said, "Actually, you are not that annoying, Uncle Otto. ”
"But Mesimilian and Sophie can't let go of their prejudices against me."
Otto Franz's words made the scene slightly cold, and after a moment of hesitation, Ernst said: "You should be able to understand them, after all, ......"
"I know I'm satisfied that you're able to see through."
Ernst smiled lightly and did not answer, he had naturally seen through, but after seeing through, he could not get too close to Otto Franz in the future, after all, Archduke Ferdinand and Otto Franz were in opposing positions on the whole.
"Aunt Elena must be beautiful!"
There is no portrait of Elena here, but Ernst thinks that it must be a very beautiful woman who can make Otto Franz so obsessed, otherwise how could she make a playboy like Otto Franz so dreamy? But the truth is often unexpected......
Shaking his head, Otto Franz described with a hint of confusion in his eyes: "She is not too pretty, compared to some celebrities in Vienna she is like a country girl, but...... She is so gentle and kind, which makes people have a different emotion that they can't bear to hurt. ”
As Otto Franz described, Ernst's mind conjured up a woman who radiated maternal brilliance all over, and her white dress made her look so gentle, like the moonlight in the sky.
Two men of the highest status in the Austro-Hung Empire, one large and one small, stood there in a daze, intoxicated by the beautiful figures of their respective fantasies.
After a long time, Ernst came back to his senses, and the first thing he saw was Otto Franz, who was looking at him meaningfully, and the glare of his gaze was very unaccustomed.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"You just looked a lot like me twenty years ago."
“……”
Just as Ernst wanted to explain, Otto Franz did not continue to ask, he looked at Bert, who was getting closer and closer, and said: "Go back!" I guess they're worried about you staying with me. ”
"But that doesn't include my dad Ferdinand."
Ernst himself did not know why he said this suddenly, but Otto Franz seemed to understand what Ernst meant, and he nodded and motioned for Ernst to leave.
Archduke Otto Franz sighed faintly as he joined Bert and looked at their backs, when a voice appeared behind him.
"Ernst is very smart and mature, but he is still a little immature, maybe we can do something ...... in this regard"
"Don't involve Ernst and Mysimilian, that's my limit."
looked at Burrell, the butler of the Vienna Palace, very seriously, as if Burrell would break up without agreeing to the two, and that result was obviously not what Burrell wanted to see, so his face was unwilling to flash but finally chose to agree.
"Ernst...... You must be eliminated! ”
These were the words of Burrell, who was apprehensive with Ernst's arrival, because he subconsciously saw the changes in Vienna brought about by Ernst's arrival.
The change is not very great, but Ernst, who is mature, intelligent, and has his own personality, has clearly left a very good impression in the eyes of such selective figures as Archduke Ferdinand, Archduke Otto Franz, and Franz Joseph......
Burrell could not guarantee that Ernst would not have a chance to ascend to the throne, most of all...... Burrell could not imagine what Ernst would face as Emperor of Austria-Hungary.
Expelled from the palace, shattered prime minister's dreams or ...... What could be more dangerous than that, even endangering his life?
Burrell can't fail, because failure means that the first twenty years of his life are wasted, how many twenty years are there in his life? Burrell cannot afford to fail and cannot fail.
Otto Franz did not know how his old friend was feeling, for Ernst's words reminded him of his dead wife, and it might take a day, maybe a week, maybe three weeks before he could get back into the playboy character.
Ernst returned to the courtyard of the Archduke Ferdinand, and looked at the returning Duchess of Ernst Sophie, who obviously wanted to say something, but hesitated and finally did not speak.
After breakfast, just as Ernst was about to take a break and continue practicing his swordsmanship, the Duchess Sophie suddenly stopped Ernst from leaving......
"I suppose you should hire a literature teacher, what do you think?"
Glancing at the Duchess Sophie, who was very solemn, Ernst replied with a wry smile in his heart: "Can I refuse?" Mom! ”
"I'm sorry Ernst, I can't refuse."
Shrugged Ernst directly chose to leave, looking at the back of him leaving, Duchess Sophie couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, she liked to see her second son with a helpless look.
"It looks like Ernst is about to be out of luck, too."
Mesimilian was gloating on the sidelines, and the Sufi Lord said without a good face: "I remember that when someone first got the news, he was also full of displeasure, and even ......."
Seeing that the Sophie lord was about to reveal his disgrace, Messirian exclaimed in a bit of anger: "Sophie! ”
"£200!"
This is blackmail, Chiguoguo's blackmail, but seeing that Ernst's gaze has already turned, Misimilian hurriedly agreed: "200 pounds is 200 pounds, but I need three days." ”
Remembering that Ernst had scraped together more than 200,000 pounds a week, and that it now took her other brother three days to raise 200 pounds, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the face of the Sophie Lord.
Such a taunt obviously made Maisimilian very unhappy, but he could not do anything, who let his shortcomings be firmly grasped by the Sufi lord? But......
"Ernst, I'll tell you something, the Messimilians ...... back then."
"Sophie, I'll fight with you!"
