Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Challenger

Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

"Look at the move!" Lakshmi Bayi made a beautiful flying kick, but as soon as he could say that, Franz shot him down from the air and pressed him to the sand.

(Made of fine sand, so it doesn't cause any damage)

"Are you so loud to scare people to death?"

Franz joked, and Maria (Franz's sister, the fourth) on the side was unhappy.

"My brother will bully people, how can she beat you when she is so young?"

"She said she was going to hit ten. If she lets those who don't know what to do, she'll be cleaned up even worse."

"Then if you win, you can fight ten?" Mary asked timidly.

"I can't." Franz replied crisply.

Franz's honesty left the two little girls speechless for a while, and then there was a throw of sand. It's just that the former easily jumped back to avoid it, and it was they who were injured by a gust of wind.

During this time, Miss Joan of Arc from India and Little Mary were getting along well, and they happened to be girls born in the same year, and they both liked to sing, dance, eat sweets, and did not like to read.

This proves that some things can break through the boundaries of language and country, in fact, Lakshmi Bayi is not unpopular, but he can't read German, and everyone in the classroom will look at her with strange eyes.

In contrast, she is much better at martial arts and riding.

It's just that in the two most confident aspects, Lakshmi Baoyi was once again poured cold water, and in the face of the absolute disparity in size and strength, any martial arts is a bells and whistles.

In terms of horsemanship, it is not that there are no horses in Schönbrunn Palace. However, Franz was afraid of hurting his younger siblings, so Lakshmi Bayi had to show off her riding skills on a bantam.

Franz's bantam horses were not the usual English Shetland ponies in Europe (about 75-90 cm tall at the shoulders), but Dali horses brought from the Far East.

This breed of horse is very docile and likes to be close to people, mainly a little taller than the English bantam and can stay with its owner for a longer time.

Although this type of horse usually only has a height of 90-105 cm at the shoulder, it has super endurance and can carry 200 pounds of luggage.

At the same time, he was still running very slowly, and Lakshmi Bayi did not feel like riding a big horse at all. On the other hand, little Mary was enjoying her foal, for it was rare for someone to ride with her.

In fact, there are some of the tallest horses in Schönbrunn Palace, with Alpine horses between 1.2 and 1.4 meters tall at the shoulder.

It is a horse native of Austria, with a docile temperament and an elegant body, with a long mane and beautiful hair, usually faded to blonde or silver.

In fact, it is about the same height, and there are Finnish horses and Mongolian horses.

However, the former is a cold-blooded horse, although the personality is quiet and calm, but the feeling of riding is like riding a horse can be very uncomfortable, and the hair is too thick to live in Austria.

As for the latter, he was too short-tempered, and Franz did not dare to let a bunch of bear children ride a horse that could kick a dead wolf.

In fact, there are many famous horses in the stables of Schönbrunn Palace, but the Franz family has little interest in riding, and they usually have to stay in the stables.

Occasionally, these horses are released for picnics, but not for riding, but simply as pets.

In addition, Little Mary and Lakshmi Bauyi grew to speak more and more strangely over time, and often exchanged her pure gold and silver ornaments for those gold-plated and silver-plated knick-knacks.

The reason is very strange, that is, Maria thinks that other people's jewelry is lighter.

However, Franz will not let the two little ones go on so lawlessly, they have to go to the classrooms in the palace every day, and after that, they have to undergo physical training from Franz.

It's just that Lakshmi Bayi is clearly more interested in politics, and Franz doesn't shy away from telling her that there is a war going on on the Indian subcontinent.

However, Franz's judgment disappointed the former, Franz

The judgment is that the princely states of India are a rabble.

The princes who led these uprisings did not want to restore the Mughal dynasty and had no ambition to establish themselves as kings, so they surrendered as soon as the outside invasion ended and the British turned their guns.

Lakshmi Bhayi, who is a proud Indian, thinks that what Franz said is completely prejudiced, nonsense without evidence, how can those big people be as unbearable as Franz said.

Franz is not surprised, after all, "Joan of Arc".

So he took out the letters written to himself and the Austrian Empire by the Indian princes, including Rao II, whom Lakshmi Bayi admired the most.

She could hardly believe her eyes, those big people actually sold their country to foreigners, and wrote so sensually.....

"Actually, in addition to me, they probably wrote to the British and French, and maybe to the Prussians and Americans in the future..."

Franz stabbed Lakshmi Bowie in the chest again.

Lakshmi Bayi gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and didn't speak.

Little Mary on the side hurriedly hugged each other and comforted.

"You can write me a copy, and you'll be Austrian from now on... We can play together every day..."

Franz was speechless for a while, and hurriedly lifted the little fool Mary away.

"Three feet of ice is not a day's cold. The Mughal dynasty has decayed, and you can't save it. India needs to change, and so do you."

"Will the Austrian Empire fight to India like the British?"

Lakshmi Pai shouted behind Franz.

"I don't want to get involved if I can. But not long ago I bought a piece of land from you..."

"How can I change this!?"

Lakshmi Bayi asked very formally, although he was not very old, Franz felt an unusual temperament, maybe this is a hero.

Franz looked at the little Mary she was carrying in her hand.

"Look at the people! Go! Let's play!"

Franz threw Little Mary on the grass and looked at the girl in front of him.

"Go to class first, know yourself and know your opponent to win all battles. Although the Austrian Empire was somewhat different from the British, there were some common knowledge.

At the same time, you also need to know yourself, otherwise you can't talk about knowing yourself and your opponent.

Many people only see the enemy's weakness, the enemy is corrupt and incompetent and thinks that they can seize the opportunity, but they don't know how many pounds and taels they have, and they will not escape the fate of defeat in the end.

I see? I'm going to class tomorrow."

Lakshmi Bayi asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will beat you?"

Franz was a little helpless.

"First of all, I am not your enemy, and secondly, you cannot defeat me. Before you say that next time, you'd better think about who your enemies are and who your friends are.

Otherwise, no matter how much effort you put in, it will be useless, and it may even backfire."

"And what if I win against you?"

Lakshmi Bayi was still unrelenting, and Franz thought the kid was getting into the horns.

"Don't you always dislike bantam horses for not being strong enough, if you can beat me, I'll let you ride as a horse. It just so happens that you can get some yards back, but I still suggest that you learn to work together for a win-win situation."
