Romanian Eagle

As time approaches, Romania is looking forward to the wedding of the crown prince. Part of it is respect for the royal family, and part of it is because the royal family has deeply penetrated the Romanian economy, and a large number of people have profited from the royal family's enterprises.

On September 10, the Austro-Hungarian delegation led by Crown Prince Ferdinand took the Austro-Hungarian royal train to Bucharest. Prime Minister Bretianu brought Romanian officials to greet him on the platform. This time, led by the Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, we can also see the weight of Romania in Austria-Hungary's heart, which is an affirmation of Romania's development in recent years.

The protagonist of the family group, Princess Sophie Marie, is sitting in the luxurious private room, curiously observing the world outside the window through the car window.

"Princess, you saw us in Bucharest." Anna, the maid who was also observing the window, said to Princess Sophie Marie like a little sparrow.

"I see, can't you stop on the road and keep talking all the way." Princess Sophie Mary, who was talking about Anna, was also looking out the window. After meeting with Crown Prince Eder, she has been writing letters to contact the two sides. But for a girl who is in love, letters can never represent a real person, and now she wants to see her lover again.

"But I heard someone talking in my sleep last night, like 'Edel misses you so much'."

Anna's words made Princess Sophie Marie blushed, and she rolled up her sleeves and planned to clean up this bold girl. Just then there was a knock on the door, Sophie Marie hurriedly sorted her clothes with Anna's help, and returned to the image of a lady, and Anna also stood behind her in a proper manner.

"Please come in."

Following Sophie Marie's answer, an Austro-Hungarian royal guard opened the door and saluted the princess. "His Royal Highness, Bucharest is here. The Crown Prince and Grand Duke Otto Franz are waiting for you to pass."

"Okay, I know."

With Sophie Marie's answer, the Austro-Hungarian royal guard left the princess' private room.

After a while, Sophie Marie came to the door of the carriage with her maid Anna, and saw that the Crown Prince Ferdinand and her father, Archduke Otto Franz, were waiting for her in full costumes. After the princess stepped forward to greet the two of them separately, Archduke Otto Franz asked. "Why so late?"

"I'm doing my makeup."

Princess Sophie Mary never mentioned that she was joking about forgetting the time.

"Okay, let's get ready to go." The uncle, Archduke Ferdinand, persuaded her father, Archduke Otto Franz, to get out of the car with a smile after saying that.

Prime Minister Bretianu, who was waiting on the platform, saw Archduke Ferdinand getting off the bus first, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"I have seen His Royal Highness Crown Prince Ferdinand." Prime Minister Bretianu, who walked in front of Archduke Ferdinand, took the lead in greeting.

"You're welcome, Prime Minister, this time I mainly bring my niece Sophie Marie to complete the marriage, which is also the result of a further relationship between Austria-Hungary and Romania."

Archduke Ferdinand knew about this Bretianu before, a prime minister who favored Britain and France. After he got the post of prime minister, the ambassadors of Britain, France and Russia went to his house to congratulate him. Although Crown Prince Ferdinand has a lot of opinions on the Prime Minister in his heart, he still looks like a good friend whom he has not seen for many years.

"His Royal Highness Ferdinand is right, our relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed improving."

Prime Minister Bretianu followed the words of the Austro-Hungarian crown prince, and then talked with Archduke Otto Franz to express his friendship. Finally, standing in front of Princess Sophie Marie, Prime Minister Bretianu stood in front of the good-looking fiancee of the Crown Prince. A standard meeting with the royal family was made by the Prime Minister, and he told the princess after finishing it.

"Having seen Her Royal Highness, the Romanian people will cheer for your arrival."

"Thanks to the Prime Minister for your compliment. I also love the Romanian people deeply." Princess Sophie Marie politely replied to the Prime Minister.

After a cordial conversation,

Prime Minister Bretianu took them to the Bloor Palace, where the rest of the royal family stayed.

On the way to the Bloor Palace, a long procession of carriages drove down the street. Outside, the soldiers of the First Guard Division were on duty, and there were Romanian people waving enthusiastically at them. These people have long known that there is their beloved crown prince fiancee in this motorcade, which is to show their respect to the royal family.

In the fourth carriage, Sophie Marie and her maid Anna observe the view of Bucharest.

"His Royal Highness, look at this place is not too different from Vienna. I heard that the streets of Bucharest are not very good, but I didn't expect the difference to be big." Maid Anna began to play her sparrow role again.

"Okay Anna, can't you stop? You've been talking all the way, aren't you thirsty?"

Facing the princess' words, Anna thought about it seriously. "I'm really thirsty, and I need to drink some water." After speaking, he picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"Hahaha." Sophie Mary was amused by her little confused maid.

Anna inexplicably watched the princess laughing at herself, thinking that the makeup on her face was smeared, and hurriedly picked up the mirror to look at her appearance. This made Sophie Marie smile even happier. She covered her stomach with her hands and looked like she was laughing with a stomachache, which made the confused Anna a little confused.

Sophie Marie, who was slightly relieved, said to Anna. "How will you live, Anna, I'm going to be teased to death by you."

"Princess, I will follow you, and Anna will not go anywhere in the future."

While they were laughing, the carriage finally reached the Bloor Palace. After the group got off the bus, it was a little strange that Princess Sophie Mary covered her stomach with her hands. Archduke Otto Franz still cared about his daughter and stepped forward to ask. "What's the matter with you, Mary?"

"Father is fine, it's just that Anna tells me a joke and my stomach hurts a little bit. It'll be fine in a while." Princess Sophie Marie replied.

Hearing that Archduke Otto Franz, who was the reason, didn't say anything, the group walked into the Bloor Palace.

The Bloor Palace was built in 1881 on the order of King Carol I of Romania. There are a total of eighty-nine rooms, scattered in three three-story conjoined buildings. All kinds of decorations in the building are small and exquisite. There are also many fountains, statues and gardens outside the building. The most famous statue of angels is based on Romania. Created by the most famous painter Theodore Oman. In this small palace, many other royal aristocrats and heads of government have been entertained, and now the Austro-Hungarian relatives also live in this palace.

"Princess, what are we doing now?" Maid Anna asked Sophie Marie.

"Get ready to rest, I'm too tired on the train," replied Princess Sophie Marie, who was half-lying on the bed, watching the servants rush to and fro.

After hearing what the princess said, Anna also threw herself on the bed.

Now tired, the Austro-Hungarian family will start rehearsing for the wedding after a day off.
