Rudolph is so handsome and so popular with girls.

Rudolph's father was the handsome Emperor Franz Joseph I, and his mother was the most beautiful princess Sissi with the most beautiful maroon hair, the most upright and delicate face, and it would be strange if he was not good-looking. doesn't have to rely on his honorable status as the crown prince of the empire, Rudolph can make countless beautiful girls fall for him just by his appearance.

At the age of 21, Rudolph, the crown prince of Austria-Hungary, married Archduchess Stephanie, the daughter of King Leopold II of Belgium, but he did not love her, it was just a political marriage that the royal family was accustomed to, and Rudolph continued to maintain contacts with many lovers after marriage.

When Rudolf was 30 years old, he met Baroness Marie Visera, a 17-year-old from the Czech Republic, and the two fell in love at first sight. Rudolph even asked his father and even the Pope if he could divorce Stephanie and marry Mary. Not surprisingly, he was reprimanded like a dog's blood.

Just after the New Year of 1889, Rudolf, who had a quarrel with his father over this matter, asked Marie to go with him to the 'Mayerling' hunting lodge on the outskirts of Vienna, which he had bought for her and which they loved.

In the Love Nest, Rudolph was forced to marry Mary again, and he lost his mind in the quarrel because he had a great grudge against his father and queen mother, and after Rudolph took out a Browning pistol and shot Mary Visera, he himself swallowed the gun and committed suicide.

Princess Sisi lost her only son, and the Austro-Hungarian Empire lost its crown prince.

The emperor built a monastery on the site of Mayerling's hut, and to this day, the nuns pray daily for the rest of Rudolph's soul.

The grief of losing her only son overwhelmed Princess Sissi, who fell into despair. In the days that followed, Sissi wore black or pearl gray dresses and no longer liked any gaudy clothes. Just when the 52-year-old queen was dying and about to have a nervous breakdown, an unexpected news rekindled her life.

Seven months after Rudolph's death, an 18-year-old commoner girl named Grace Meredith gave birth to a baby boy in a mill outside Vienna. Grace is one of Rudolph's lovers, and she is deeply in love with the noble scumbag, a child named Hubert who is Rudolph's widow. Because Crown Prince Rudolph and Crown Princess Stephanie did not give birth to a boy and a girl, little Hubert is Rudolph's only bloodline.

Grace Meredith is an extremely beautiful girl of Slavic descent. If she wears a well-fitting and gorgeous dress, Grace's brilliance is not inferior to that of the young Princess Sissi.

But she was the child of a commoner, untouchable, and poor, and Grace's father was a miller, without any means, status, or property.

Grace carries little Hubert to the splendid Imperial Palace, she hopes that her child can have a decent life, that he knows who he is, and that he will no longer suffer and be poor like his mother. Other than that, Grace asked for nothing else.

After a series of identifications, including tokens, blood group identification, Rudolph's handwritten letters, etc., it was finally confirmed that Hubert's bloodline was firmly established. In fact, it doesn't have to be so complicated, Princess Sissi can see at a glance that little Hubert in swaddling clothes is exactly the same as Rudolph when he was a child, and the difference is exactly the same.

Little Hubert is undoubtedly God's gift to Princess Sissi, and God is taking pity on her.

However, the appearance of Hubert Jr. caused an uproar in the royal family, because he was an illegitimate child and a lowly race born to ordinary people. According to the glorious tradition of the Habsburg royal family, the royal family would not recognize illegitimate children and untouchables, and the younger Hubert did not deserve to be part of the great Habsburgs, and the royal family could not be ridiculed by other nobles.

Faced with the opposition of the patriarchs and elders of the family, the emperor Franz Joseph I was also at a loss. Princess Sissi pleaded with the royal patriarchs, but to no avail. That's when the unexpected happened.

On the night of Christmas Eve, an unidentified group of armed knights attacked the mill where Grace's house was located, burning it to the ground, killing and wounding more than 100 neighbors, including Grace's parents and family. But God has eyes, and little Hubert, who is less than half a year old, can't stop crying, and Grace carries him to the clinic three streets away in the snow, and just escapes this catastrophe.

Because of the asymmetry of information, Grace Meredith thought that the massacre had come from the order of the Emperor and Princess Sissi, because the child had disgraced them. So the strong Grace fled Vienna with little Hubert in her arms, vowing to raise her son, to tell him who he was, and to avenge his grandfather and uncle.

On Christmas Eve, when the family was reunited, Grace and Hubert disappeared into the snow and were never heard from again.

The grief-stricken Princess Sisi and the Emperor set out to find their grandson, and they sent people all over Europe to find nothing. But the emperor and empress did not give up, they were still looking and kept looking.

The attack came from Emperor Franz Joseph I's own nephew, Archduke Franz Ferdinand.

After Rudolph's death, the emperor had no other sons, and the empire had no crown prince. At the suggestion of the senators, the emperor had no choice but to choose his nephew Ferdinand as the new crown prince and bestowed on him the title of Grand Duke. However, the appearance of Hubert the Younger seriously threatened the succession of Archduke Ferdinand, as Hubert was the direct blood relative of the Emperor.

The struggle for the throne among the royal family has always been very cruel, both at home and abroad, and there has never been a warm vein, and Archduke Ferdinand brazenly moved to kill. After the assassination failed, not only the emperor and Princess Sisi were looking for little Hubert, but Ferdinand was also looking for him, and he wanted to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.

Princess Sissi never gave up looking for Grace and Hubert, and although Europe was in turmoil at the time, she always believed that her grandson was somewhere in Europe and that they were still alive. This became Sissi's only spiritual motivation, and the only belief that supported her frail and sickly body to survive.

When Hubert Jr. was 9 years old, Princess Sissi received news that Grace Meredith had been seen in Switzerland. So, the 61-year-old Princess Sisi hurried to Geneva, unwilling to let go of any hope.

Here, however, she was assassinated by the Italian anarchist Luigi Lucheni, and the peerless Princess Sisi was killed, and she was not able to see little Hubert again before she died.

When Hubert was 25 years old, the vicious Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo, but his death sparked World War I.

When Hubert was 27 years old, his grandfather, His Majesty Franz Joseph I, Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, died at the age of 86. As a great emperor, he knew in his heart who had poisoned his grandson's affairs, but for the sake of his family and the empire, he could only choose to endure.

Before going to heaven to find the love of his life, Sissi, Franz Joseph I secretly left a legacy to two of his most trusted subordinates, hoping that they would continue to search for the emperor's grandson, Hubert.

The two subordinates were Archduke Alois, head of the House of Liechtenstein, and Archduke Rainier, head of the House of Grimaldi. The House of Liechtenstein has long been an assistant to the Habsburg royal family and has been a major Habsburg minister for generations. And the Grimaldi family is the royal family of Monaco.

Franz Joseph I was the same age as his late father of Alois and Rainier, and the emperor had an excellent personal relationship with the two eldest dukes in their youth. The three of them are a bit similar to Liu Guanzhang.

Many years ago, after Franz Joseph I was crowned Emperor of the Austro-Constitutional Empire, he did a great job for each of his two children.
