Chapter 86 Austro-Hungarian Princess (for Tian Luo W You Qing
After Edel returned to the palace, he reflected on himself. Even though he had been reborn in Romania for so many years, he committed a common problem among time travellers and was too ambitious. Fortunately, Romania had a good foundation, and he had a head start on the car, which allowed him to plan
Barely passed. After the lesson from this incident, Edel decided not to do this again. He completely left no room for himself and spent the funds to the extreme. If unexpected circumstances happened, it would be catastrophic.
After thinking about it, Edel checked in his office to see what documents he needed to deal with. Just when he was about to deal with the matter at hand, the manager Edel came to his office with a happy face.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has asked you to come over."
After hearing what the steward said, Edel put down his work and asked, "Steward, what does father want from me?"
Considering that the Crown Prince knew about it right away, and it was not something that could not be told, there was no need to hide it. "It's about His Highness's marriage."
Edel was a little surprised when he heard what the steward said. In the past few years, as Edel has grown up, the king and queen, like ordinary parents, have become more and more worried about their children's marriage. Not to mention that the Carols have all come of age.
, and he is even more anxious to find Edel’s other half. However, in European royal families, there are not many women of the right age who are suitable for Edel. If there are women of the right age, the relationship is not good. Now that Carol I is looking for him, he may have found a suitable partner.
Edel followed the palace steward to the old king's office and saw Carol I looking at a photo.
"Father, look for me."
Even though Edel knew what the old king wanted from him, he couldn't directly ask him about life-long matters.
"Edel, I came to you this time to show you a photo." After Carol I finished speaking, he handed the photo in his hand to the crown prince.
Edel took the photo and saw that it was a young and beautiful woman with long black hair and facial features that were a bit German. After seeing the person in the black and white photo, Edel knew that this woman
That's why he came here.
"Edel, how do you feel?" Carol asked her son's opinion.
Edel knows what his father means, and he is also aware of his marriage, knowing that his marriage will be used as a political bargaining chip. He has thought about this thoroughly, and will lose a lot of things while gaining power. But now he is obsessed with
If you control the rights of others, you can only serve the rights of your significant other. This can be regarded as Edel's transformation from an ordinary person in his previous life to a big shot now.
"Your Majesty, this girl is not bad."
After hearing what Edel said, Carol became obviously more interested and told him about this woman's experience.
"Edel, her name is Sophie Marie Francis Carthony Alberta von Hornberg, she is the grandniece of Emperor Franz of Austria-Hungary and the daughter of Archduke Otto Franz,
You are only 19 years old this year, so it suits you very well."
When Edel heard that she was a princess of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, she felt a little strange in her heart. It was because of the issue of the Romanians in Transylvania that she had an unpleasant quarrel with Austria-Hungary. Although Romania was developing rapidly, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was still in trouble.
They are major powers (with their territory and population, they can bluff people without going through a battle), so there is no reason why they would take the initiative to ask for marriage as a sign of goodwill.
Old King Carol saw his son's doubts and explained, "William II sent me a message before."
Edel immediately understood how it was possible for Austria-Hungary to express its goodwill so quickly without the influence of external forces. The Kaiser played a key role. Now the center of gravity of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is in the Balkans, and it is at a disadvantage in the competition with Russia. If it were not for Germany's support, it would have been a long time ago.
Exploded by a polar bear. Since Germany's support is so needed, the Kaiser's concern must be treated with caution.
It just so happened that Edel didn't have a fiancée yet, and the Habsburg family had a lot of people, so the idea of marriage was under the Kaiser's consideration. What happened next was a matter of course. Habsburg has always had a tradition of marriage, and with this
Romania has been developing well in the past few years, and the Romanian royal family is also a branch of the German royal family, so there is no reason to refuse.
Edel thought that he really got the attention of this distant relative. It could be seen that Germany had spent a lot of money to win over Romania in the past few years. In this way, Edel was a little worried about Romania being forced onto the German tank. It seemed that he also needed to pay attention to it.
Britain and France can only show some goodwill.
"What do you think, Edel?" The old king saw that Edel had been deep in thought and did not answer, so he couldn't help but ask him.
Edel came back to his senses and quickly replied to his father. "It looks good."
"Then let's see when we can arrange for you to meet."
The Sophie Marie that Carroll and his son are talking about is also talking about Edel von Hohenzollern Sigmaringen in Austria-Hungary, that is, our protagonist, His Highness Crown Prince Edel of Romania.
"Princess, what do you think of His Highness Edel?" Anna, Sophie Marie's personal maid, asked her lady with a curious look on her face.
"Okay Anna. How do I know the situation of Crown Prince Edel!"
Ever since Sophie Marie knew that she would be likely to marry Crown Prince Edel, she had been in a state of confusion. Although she knew that she was likely to be married off, she did not expect that the result would be so soon.
From the photo his father took of him, it can be seen that Crown Prince Edel also has a handsome appearance, but I don’t know what his personality and manners are like.
"Princess, this crown prince is so handsome. There are few young nobles who can compare with him." Anna continued without hesitation.
Looking at this maid who grew up with her, Sophie Marie wanted to teach her a lesson. Anna has always been a bit of a fan girl. If it weren't for being by her side, she would have been deceived into nowhere.
But her maid was right. The crown prince is indeed very handsome. I heard that he was able to borrow a large loan from Germany five years ago to develop his country. Romania has developed well in the past few years and he has a share of the credit.
"My sister, what are you thinking about? Are you thinking about His Royal Highness Crown Prince Edel of Romania?" Karl walked in and asked with a smile after hearing the words of the maid Anna.
"Brother, if you keep doing this, I won't pay attention to you." Sophie Marie, who was told the center of things, said a little angrily.
"Okay, Sophie. I just said it casually, don't take it to heart." Karl defended himself.
"Then I'll let you go. Brother, is there anything wrong with you coming here this time?" Sophie Marie was a little surprised that her brother would come to her room, knowing that Karl usually would not come.
"I'm actually here to deliver a message." After Karl said this, he took out a telegram from his pocket and continued. "This is a telegram from Romania. It says that I hope to choose a time for you to meet each other.
Face."
After Sophie Marie heard the news, her face turned a little red and she asked, "How should I reply to them?"
"Don't worry, my grandfather and uncle have already discussed this matter. You can meet in Vienna then."
After hearing what her brother said, Sophie Marie asked curiously, "What is this Crown Prince Edel doing here?"
