In a few words, Duke Alexander gave Archduke Franz Joseph a slap in the face. To be honest, he was already merciful, otherwise he might have prevented the Grand Duke from coming to the stage to find a hole in the ground with his ability.

However, for a fledgling kid, even if Duke Alexander showed mercy, it would embarrass him. Because this proud grand duke originally intended to take the initiative in this dialogue, to come up first, to help his country win respect, and to let the arrogant Russians know that Austria cannot be profaned.

According to Grand Duke Franz Joseph's script, he should be the one who makes the other party speechless, and then his charisma will be amazed by the nobles around him, and he will become the true leader in everyone's heart .

Let's put it this way, Grand Duke Franz Joseph used Duke Alexander as a stepping stone, and he was going to step on Duke Alexander to prove that he was the real king of Austria.

It's just that the little kid's ambition was hit hard, and he was the one who was socially killed. Facing the toughness of Duke Alexander, he had nothing to do. Instead, he seemed to be humiliating himself. If it wasn't for his mother, Princess Sophie Come to the rescue, he really can't get down.

"Your Excellency the Duke, I made you laugh. This kid likes to discuss politics. He is always dissatisfied with the current chaos so that he can express some immature opinions. Because he really loves Austria and loves the tradition that we have built step by step from the Napoleonic era. Friendship... the current chaos makes him heartbroken, and he wants to change everything so much that everything can return to the way it was before!"

In Duke Alexander's view, Princess Sophie's level is much higher than that of her son. At least the Grand Duchess can understand the situation clearly and know what can and cannot be done. Just want to attract attention.

With the intervention of Princess Sophie, a crisis was finally resolved. The still aggrieved Grand Duke Franz Joseph was ruthlessly dragged away by the old mother, and then sent to the group of celebrities. I believe that among the chattering women Among them, this handsome Grand Duke will soon regain his confidence. To be honest, he is really more suitable to hang out in that circle.

"Your Excellency, the current situation is different from our original agreement!"

Facing Princess Sophie's cold words, Duke Alexander replied calmly: "Is there? I think everything is under control."

Princess Sophie frowned slightly, and did not fully express her urgency, but continued to say coldly: "But I feel terrible, now the forces opposing His Majesty's abdication have gained the upper hand, the Prime Minister is the leftist The right gear looks a bit embarrassing!"

For Princess Sophie,

Schwarzenberg's poor state has seriously affected her plans. If those opponents cannot be suppressed, her husband will have no chance of becoming emperor. Doesn't this make her happy for nothing!

Naturally, this made her a little manic. On the one hand, she complained about Schwarzenberg's incompetence, and on the other hand, she also felt that the Russians had put too much pressure on Schwarzenberg, which made Schwarzenberg's position unstable. This made it difficult for her husband to ascend to the throne of God. So she decided to ask the Russian for an explanation.

Naturally, Duke Alexander couldn't deal with Princess Sophie like he did with Schwarzenberg. This princess is a high-quality partner for the time being, so I can explain it more clearly.

"Madam, please don't worry. I can assure you that as long as Prime Minister Schwarzenberg understands current affairs, His Excellency the Grand Duke will be crowned soon."

This explanation did not reassure Princess Sophie, but made her feel a real danger, that is, the relationship between Schwarzenberg and the Russians was very bad, otherwise Duke Alexander would not be able to say something that made him aware of current affairs, which meant that Russia is teaching Schwarzenberg a lesson, and she and her husband have suffered indiscriminately.

"This is different from what we discussed!" Princess Sophie emphasized, "If you still can't keep your promise, I can only consider other options!"

Not to mention that Princess Sophie really looks like a strong woman when she speaks harshly, but Duke Alexander is not frightened, not to mention that he knows very well that Princess Sophie can play cards other than her son and her husband. But these two cards are really not big and small for the time being, at most they are a 2 and an A. The lethality is really not good.

But Duke Alexander is still willing to communicate with her. After all, unlike Schwarzenberg, the interests of the Grand Duchess and Russia are still the same for the time being, and it is worth fighting for.

"Madam, as I said, you don't need to be too anxious. The one who should be anxious is Prime Minister Schwarzenberg. I think he will soon return to the right path! Then everything will proceed according to our agreement!"

It stands to reason that Duke Alexander's explanation and assurance were patient enough, but Princess Sophie was not satisfied, because what she wanted was immediate rather than waiting, so she decided to put more pressure on the Russians to make things happen as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency, I chose to agree to your terms because I believed in you, but you have let me down. You procrastinated and never kept your promises. My patience is really limited. I have already begun to regret it!"

Duke Alexander was also a little annoyed. He had already given an explanation and a guarantee, but the woman in front of him was still relentless. Do you really think he is settled? Do you really think he really wants to make your foolish husband the emperor? funny!

Duke Alexander immediately emphasized his tone, and said solemnly: "This is your choice, you can naturally go back on it, but if this is the case, we in Russia will choose to side with His Majesty Ferdinand I, I believe His Majesty can continue to perform his duties !"

This sentence directly killed Princess Sophie. She probably forgot that it was not Russia that really wanted Ferdinand I to step down, but Schwarzenberg. Now the latter is crumbling, and if Russia stands again If he goes to the opposition, Schwarzenberg really has no other choice but to announce his resignation.

Once Schwarzenberg is gone, the faction that wants to abolish Ferdinand I will naturally suffer a lot, and there will be no way to support her husband for a while. What's more, her husband was no longer supported...

This realization surprised Princess Sophie. She knew that she could no longer speak harshly to Duke Alexander, and she immediately softened her words: "Your Excellency, I believe we can reach an agreement, but we are afraid of long nights and dreams in everything. If we continue like this, I'm worried that things will change if it's too late!"
