There was a knock on Franz's door, and Mrs. Sophie angrily walked in with two imps.

Among them, the "Joan of Arc" children from India were specially tied up a few more times, and the little Mary on the side looked angry and cowardly.

"Franz! Look at the good things they do! ”

Franz looked at Madame Sophie's body without any stained marks, it was most likely that she had broken some utensils, and the Colonel Bordeaux on the side said that he couldn't do anything, and Franz had to sigh helplessly.

He feigned anger and said, "Look at the good things you two have done! Apologize quickly, and let the gracious Mrs. Sophie forgive you. ”

"I'm sorry," said the two little girls timidly, for Madame Sophie was really terrible, at least the most terrible figure in the whole Schönbrunn Palace.

Archduke Franz Karl was an optimist, and occasionally rode with them, and would not get angry even if he occasionally broke his head.

Although Franz is tough and cunning, he does not know much like a child.

Franz's three brothers, Maximilian liked to play tricks on girls, but their combat prowess was terrifyingly low and had already been beaten several times by Lakshmi Bae.

However, the former doesn't admit it, and always likes to pretend that he doesn't care. In fact, Maria can push Maximilian down, but the former still can't bear to bully this weak second brother.

Ludwig (the third) is a tall iron man, and he is very religious, and he will not get angry with two little girls.

Franz's group of friends who were interested in Lakshmi Bayi were beaten by the latter, and those who were interested in Maria were beaten by Franz.

But there are also those who don't remember, such as Edward Taffe, who has no malice or curiosity, but his combat effectiveness is extremely low and he is often bullied by two girls.

The low-level maids and guards were very fond of the two little girls, and the high-ranking maids and grandmothers would not choose to get along with them.

As for Adjani's eyes, the two little girls are almost like blank paper, and Franz and Madame Sophie also forbid the fellow to get close to the two little imps.

It is not for nothing that Mrs. Sophie was historically called "the only man in the Habsburgs", and she was so stern that she could barely get away with it.

However, due to the appearance of Franz, his character has changed a lot, if there is no change as in history, then the Indian version of Joan of Arc may end early.

To get back to the point, the word "sorry" was already tired of Mrs. Sophie, and it obviously didn't help, and Franz immediately leaned over and dragged the two imps back.

"Don't worry, Mother, watch me clean them up! Bordeaux is going to lock them both up in the study. ”

Bordeaux picked up the sturdy-tied Lakshmi Bayi with one hand, and led Little Maria by the hand to the study with the other.

"Confinement! No eating! ”

Although Franz said it, it was just to let the two little ones be quiet in the study for a while, naturally there was food, drink, and screening.

At this time, although the Austrian Empire's photographic technology had developed greatly, the progress of electricity could not keep up, so even the royal family still used relatively old hand-cranked projectors, but they were still far ahead of other countries.

As for not being allowed to eat, it is even more nonsense, Franz's study is directly connected to the kitchen, and food will be delivered under the telegram at any time.

Thinking of this, little Maria couldn't help but smile on her face, although it was only a subconscious act, but this could not escape the eyes of Madame Sophie, who immediately understood what was going on.

Little Mary was so hard twisted as she passed in front of Lady Sophie that the little girl could only wipe the floor with tears in her eyes.

"Franz, you're so unreasonable!"

Franz was a little confused by this sudden remark, and replied with a wink.

"Mother, it's just two little children, let them clean up their messes, and then do a good review in front of everyone.

As for things that are broken, the person who touches it will be compensated twice."

"They didn't break anything, they didn't hit anyone, and they've been playing in the racecourse since the last lesson."

After listening to Mrs. Sophie's words, Franz was a little confused, after all, he thought that the two little girls had been punished once and had no long memory.

"So what did they do?"

"What did you do?" Mrs. Sophie snorted coldly, "Who taught you to ride a horse?" ”

"Me." Franz said confusedly.

"Why didn't Mary sit on her side?"

Franz subconsciously said: "How dangerous that is! What should I do if my sister falls. ”

"Fell? For thousands of years, women have sat on their sides! Don't you want to be a lady like this! ”

"Mother, you're thinking too much. What a little kid wants, a ladylike image, and being safe and happy is important. ”

Franz's theory was a complete fart for Mrs. Sophie, who lived in the nineteenth century, and the latter pinched the former's ear.

"You bastard, how will you let your sister marry in the future?"

"And kill all the witnesses?" Franz asked tentatively, and Sophie did think solemnly for a few seconds before she noticed the playful eyes of her eldest son, which couldn't help but increase the strength in her hand.

"Mother, it hurts! If I lose ears, it will affect my image very much! ”

Mrs. Sophie let go of her hand and sighed, and Franz quickly rubbed her ears.

Women in this era were not allowed to straddle, only side riding was ladylike, and straddle riding would even be considered a sign of debauchery.

There was a reason for women to flank at that time, because generally women, especially nobles, had to wear long skirts.

At the same time, straddle and split legs were also considered indecent, which was mainly a traditional and religious concept at the time.

In order to maintain the image of a lady, the lady had to ride on her side, using a side-riding saddle.

But in fact, although the side ride looks elegant, it is not a little more difficult than the straddle ride.

Because the usual equestrian theories are completely ineffective, even professional cavalrymen may not be able to control them in a flank manner.

Side-riding requires an almost perverted sense of balance and a "horse sense" that is usually only achieved by nomads and equestrian masters who are born on horseback.

It is obviously too much to ask of two little girls in this way.

Especially for his sister, Franz also made a set of safety protective gear for her. No matter how docile a bantam is, they are animals and can be affected by a variety of factors.

However, Franz's considerations seemed to Mrs. Sophie to be completely crooked.

"Franz, you have time to study these strange things, you might as well study your life's work."

Madame Sophie's surprise attack left Franz a little confused, who felt that he still had two years to reach adulthood, and that he might not have time to think about anything else at all, after all, he would only have to survive to think about other things.

"Sixteen, you should be an adult."
