Chapter 657: The jealousy of His Royal Highness the Prince

Otto von Habsburg-Lorraine is 95 years old this year, and he is the same age as Koko's grandfather, Archduke Ludwig, and Koko's father has to call him 'uncle' in principle, not to mention that Otto is still the patriarch of the family, but Koko's father has always hated him. The blood feud is one thing, Otto is the Grand Duke, and Kou Dad is also the Grand Duke, who is afraid of whom? What's more, Frank Joseph is still the harder 'Archduke of Austria'.

When Karl I, the last emperor of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, ascended the throne, he canonized his eldest son, Otto Von, who was only four years old, as the 'Archduke of Austria'. The Archduke of Austria was the highest title in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and this title meant the heir to the empire. Of course, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was wiped out two years later, and Otto, the heir, became the 'crown prince' who lost his country and went into exile.

Princess Sissi's husband, Emperor Franz Joseph I, canonized his grandson Hubert as the 'Archduke of Austria', hereditary succession. As a result, there were two 'Austrian Archdukes' in later generations, which is a bit out of place. But Joseph's family had not yet returned to the Habsburgs, so no one bothered about it.

Later, with the help of various royal families and old nobles, Joseph's family finally returned to the Habsburgs, so the question of the two 'Austrian archdukes' was put in front of them.

Austria and Germany are of the same origin, and the two countries were one and the core of the Holy Roman Empire. One hundred and sixty years ago, Prussia split from the Austro-Prussian War, but the bones and tendons were always broken in the two places, and now the whole of Europe is the most detached aristocracy of the two countries.

Austria was the base of the Habsburg family, and it can be said that there would be no Austria without Habsburg. The Habsburgs were the 'No. 1 family' in Austria and still have a great influence on the Austrian people.

In a way, or in the past de jure, the Archduke of Austria is in fact the king of Austria, His Majesty the Prince of Austria, who is still famous and influential despite being in the opposition.

Although Austria has been a republic for 100 years, the Austrian government has been wary of the restoration of the Habsburgs. But once there is turmoil in Europe, or serious contradictions within Austria, there is no guarantee that this kind of thing will not happen.

Moreover, after the last emperor Karl I was forced to abdicate, he also carried out a restoration, but he was stillborn under the joint efforts of European and American powers. Therefore, the Austrian government is very sensitive to the 'Archduke of Austria'.

After the dispute between the two 'Austrian archdukes', Coco's grandfather, Archduke Ludwig, was keenly aware of the intricate political sensitivities involved, so he made a decisive public statement. It is to the effect that -

The title of Grand Duke was bequeathed by the ancestors, and the contemptible people did not dare to resign. Josef and I are very fond of Austria and wish it prosperity forever. We, the Habsburg-Lorraine-Joseph people, respect the course of history, respect the choice of the Austrian people and respect the Government of the Austrian Republic. For this reason, we, Joseph, solemnly promise to renounce forever any attempt on the Austrian throne!

In order to show his heart, Archduke Ludwig led the entire Joseph family to renounce Austrian citizenship.

Grandpa Coco's move won the applause of the whole of Europe, and all countries did not want to see someone turn back the wheel of history. The Austrian government highly praised Archduke Ludwig for his profound righteousness and high morality, and for the first time, the official title of 'Archduke of Austria' was officially adopted, recognizing the title of the Habsburgs. The Austrian government issued a statement that, although the Joseph family renounced their Austrian citizenship, they would always remain Austria's most trusted friends, the illustrious descendants of the Habsburgs and Franz Joseph I and Sissi.

Therefore, although the Koko family does not have Austrian nationality and their passports show that they are only dual citizens of Liechtenstein and Switzerland, the outside world, including Austria, still regards them as Austrians and is still the 'first family in Austria'.

Germany and Austria are of the same species, and the German government has followed suit to recognize the status of the Josephs, and to regard them as their own.

Immediately, the governments of the major European countries recognized the hereditary 'Archduke of Austria' of the Joseph family. This put another Austrian archduke, Otto Von, in a very awkward position.

Otto Feng's Grand Duke was awarded earlier, but the Archduke of Joseph's family was canonized earlier, but it was only because he found the emperor's grandson Hubert six years later, which lagged behind in time. Because of his background and historical reasons, Joseph's family has no feelings for the restoration of the throne, and they never think about it, so it is very natural for Coco's grandfather to make a statement of 'permanent renunciation', which is not his own thing, what is there to be nostalgic for?

But Otto von was different, he was the last crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the glory and prestige of the empire were deeply imprinted on him as a child, and the dream of 'restoration' had been swirling in his mind like a mirror, so he could not make this promise against his will. In fact, the Austrian government had previously hinted at him that Otto von would publicly declare that he would abandon the unrealistic restoration forever, but he pretended not to understand.

Now, with the official endorsement of various governments, the 'Archduke of Austria' in Joseph's family has become a legitimate title, but he has become a private conferrer, and no one pays attention to it.

In order to be recognized by European countries and the aristocracy, Otto von gritted his back molars and changed his 'fake' 'Austrian Archduke' to 'Habsburg', and made a register with the Austrian government, European nobles and royal families, which can be regarded as the dust settled on this matter, but the anger and grievances in the heart of the Grand Duke can be imagined. So he knew that Kou Dad would not give him a good face, but Otto Feng still wanted to find fault at every opportunity.

In the royal palace of Monaco, the newspaper of the day was torn to shreds by Crown Prince Ergul, and the shards of the glass on the floor were like piercing edges.

"How could Kristeen be so stupid, how could she have anything to do with that filthy yellow-skinned monkey who ......" The enraged Prince Ergul said no more, his lungs aching with a breath of bad air.

"Your Royal Highness." Sharma, who was standing aside, said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Christine is young and ignorant, she must have been deceived by Zhuo Yang." Look, do you want to remind Her Royal Highness? ”

"Reminder? How to remind? She's an adult, not the same little girl, but she's still so stupid. Ergul blushed.

"Alternatively, you can go and question Your Excellency the Archduke of Austria and ask him to restrain Her Royal Highness Princess Christine." Sharma said again.

"Questioning? How dare I question him? That old thing has a big temper! He didn't like me in the first place, so I asked you if you thought he wouldn't dare to scold me? ”

Sharma is still making suggestions, "Or else...... Let Your Majesty ......"

"Shut up!!" Ergul was furious, "Sharma, remember your own identity, these things are not for you as a guard to discuss. ”

"Yes." Sharma bowed his head knowingly.

'Smack! Prince Ergul smashed another cup, and the jealousy in his eyes was about to erupt, and his guard, the Gurkha Sharma, had a wolf-like fierce glint in his eyes.
