The day after the hunt ended, Alfonso's two arrows were like divine help, and the influence was still fermenting.

The overthrow of the Crimea Treaty and the Paris riots have become the hottest topics in Europe today.

Where can the appeal of political news compare to the gossip of the gods?

Every newspaper has reported on it, even left-wing newspapers.

At the same time, journalists and religious figures from all over Europe traveled to Madrid, and a few went directly to Vienna.

Everyone wanted to find what makes Alfonso special.

For a time, Alfonso's family tree was turned out.

As one of the most prominent families in Europe in recent centuries, any nobleman can easily report who Alfonso's great-grandfather is.

The origin of Bourbon is none other than Louis IX of the Capetian family, and every person in each generation has a detailed record.

But this does not satisfy people's curiosity.

Soon, many street tabloids began to make up news for no reason in order to attract people.

For example, Alfonso was not the son of Prince Francesco, but Queen Isabella in her sleep.

For another example, Alfonso's exile experience was a test given by God, and Count Carlos and others, who started Carlos's rebellion, were bewitched by the devil.

……

In Alfonso's view, these rumors were uninteresting and outrageous, but people everywhere bought them, and all newspapers that "revealed" the latest news had increased sales.

It can only be said that the people of Europe in the 19th century really lacked entertainment.

At this time, the declaration issued by the Cathedral of St. Stephen in Vienna added fuel to the fire.

Bishop Joshua openly declared that, according to the overnight research of the priests, the gray wolf shot by Alfonso was the embodiment of Beelzebub, the sin of gluttony.

The reason was that they dissected the gray wolf's belly and found an undigested grouse inside.

Fortunately he was shot by Alfonso, otherwise next year Austria-Hungary would have fallen into famine.

It is not known whether Austria-Hungary, a grain-exporting country, will fall into famine, but the news that Alfonso has been favored by God is confirmed.

The three of them become tigers, not to mention that this is the largest religion in Europe that spreads rumors there, and there is no one in the entire Hofburg Palace except Andrew.

The nobles were both reverent and awe-inspiring, not to mention the maids and guards, who trembled when they spoke to Alfonso.

In the blink of an eye, Alfonso had been in Vienna for more than a week, and it was time to think about returning home, after all, he was the current king, and a state visit rarely lasted so long.

Of course, the main reason is that he can't stand the chatter of the nobles, and the bishops who come to visit from time to time.

After Alfonso explained that he was about to return to China, the next day he received a message from the emperor inviting him to play chess in the garden.

“？”

Alfonso and Franz had been together for a while, and he believed that the other party invited him to go to horse races and plays, but it was too strange to invite him to play chess.

Although chess was a fundamental skill of the aristocracy, Franz's hobby was more akin to the German middle class than to the Habsburg emperor.

In Franz's 996 career, he would have preferred to do something he loved in the rare time of his career.

"Maybe you're going to meet Her Highness Gisela? The garden is more relaxed for this occasion. Andrew, who was working on the sidelines, speculated.

"Possibly." Alfonso agrees.

But soon he knew he was wrong, because he didn't have to go to the garden, and he bumped into him in the hallway halfway.

"Your Majesty Alfonso." Gisela greeted him shyly, in Spanish.

The second princess of the empire wore a white corset, her hair was coiled high, and she solemnly wore a raff (a folded collar in the shape of a disc) around her neck.

It is not difficult to see that this meeting was absolutely premeditated.

"Hello, Grand Duke Gisela." Alfonso smiled, and he looked at the other as well.

Gisela's face lines are stiff and don't look like beauty, but the perennial royal life gives her a noble and cold bearing.

Well...... It's OK.

At least she looks more introverted, not like an ambitious woman like Eugenie.

Alfonso didn't have much to ask for his appearance, and he didn't look good anyway.

In these years, the nobles' requirements for the other half are mainly two points, one is a good background, and the other is to be able to have children.

Alfonso remembers that Gisela lived to be in her 70s, had several children, and was the ideal spouse.

Gisela, apparently aware that Alfonso was scrutinizing her, stayed nervously in place.

After more than ten seconds of not hearing Alfonso speak, she raised her head slightly, and her voice trembled a little: "Your Majesty, I'll go to class first." ”

She didn't know what was wrong with her, and her long-term social education seemed to be left behind.

It's really the triple aura brought by identity plus appearance and mystery is too strong, and it can be said to be suffocating.

After receiving the promise, Gisela dared to leave.

Alfonso almost laughed out loud as he watched the other party panic in his heart, but still trying to maintain his graceful appearance.

As expected, when he arrived at the garden, the emperor did not even set out the chessboard, but kept his head down in business.

"Alfonso, did you see Gisela?" When Franz saw him coming, a smile appeared on his serious face.

Alfonso nodded.

"Can you still talk about it?" Franz was visibly nervous.

The daughter of the nobleman is worried about marrying, but the princess is not worried about marrying.

But if Alfonso is not satisfied, it would be impossible to find such a suitable candidate.

"I'm satisfied." Alfonso was straightforward, and he had nothing to fault in terms of identity or the strategy of the two countries.

"That's good, that's good." Emperor Franz breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I will definitely prepare a rich dowry for Gisela." ”

Alfonso was not worried about this, and Princess Sissi paid a dowry of 200,000 pounds when she got married.

The Habsburgs are much richer than the Wittelsbach family, and with the economic development of the past ten years, there must be 4 or 500,000 yuan.

After the two talked, Franz, who was in a good mood, stopped his official duties and took Alfonso out of the palace to enjoy the popular opera "Tristan and Isolde".

The day after the opera, Alfonso left for Spain.

Before leaving, he agreed with Emperor Franz that if Austria-Hungary was going to war, he must be informed in advance.

Franz agreed, and in fact even if Austria-Hungary were to go to war against Prussia, it would certainly have to wait a while.

At least Russia must be stabilized first, and no one can withstand the power of Berlin and St. Petersburg joining forces.
