War Palace and Knee Pillow, Austria’s Destiny

1836, Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz celebrated his sixth birthday. According to royal practice, Franz had to leave the children's room.

When Franz left the children's room, Maximilian stared at Franz, wishing that Franz would leave his kingdom immediately.

As the second eldest child in the family, Maximilian was shorter than Franz in every aspect.

Everyone who comes to the children's room will visit Franz first, whether it is a servant or a family member, it seems that everything is prepared for Franz, and he can only do second place.

When Maximilian went to the Hall of Mirrors for the first time, he was attracted by the bright and spacious hall, and Francis II was sitting on the high throne, which made Maximilian feel turbulent.

He unconsciously wanted to step onto the throne, but he was stopped by Francis II.

"Little Maximilian, don't go any further. You can't sit in this position."

But Maximilian did not intend to listen to the old man's words, and then Francis II said in a more stern tone.

"Louis, take him away and let him play somewhere else."

Archduke Louis stopped Maximilian and said.

"Grandpa Louis will take you to play. Do you want to watch the military parade or ride a horse?"

Maximilian did not answer, but looked back reluctantly at the throne. It was clear that Franz was sleeping on it.

We were both born from the same mother's womb, why is God so unfair?

BGM: Snowflakes are falling and the north wind is blowing. The world is vast.

After Franz left the children's room, he had his own room. The advantage was that he had his own territory, but the disadvantage was that he could no longer sleep with Thalia's lap in his arms.

Thalia was also forced to leave the small home where she had stayed for five years and move next door to Franz. After all, as a tutor, she had the obligation to take care of Franz.

Franz felt that the biggest advantage of leaving the children's room was that he could stay away from Mrs. Sophie's harassment.

However, it turned out that Franz was still too young, and he did not know how terrifying a woman would be if she rose up in Sparta.

She has despaired of her husband's timidity and incompetence.

Ever since, Mrs. Sophie focused all her energy on Franz.

The first thing Mrs. Sophie did was to move the big bed out of Franz's room and replace it with a cold camp bed.

"Franz! You must not be weak from now on! You must fight like a man! This family needs you, and this country needs you too!"

Mrs. Sophie obviously wanted to infect Franz with her enthusiasm, but Franz was not happy to leave the soft bed.

"But what does this have to do with the bed?"

"A warm bed will kill your will and kill your soul!"

"It's terrible, mother. But this cold iron bed will make me sick. A difficult environment can easily make people irritable. It's easier to be satisfied after success, and it's easier to be depressed after failure."

Franz explained that to be honest, he really doesn’t think that the more miserable people are, the easier it is to succeed and the easier it is to go to extremes.

"You talk too much nonsense. As your mother, you must listen to me." Mrs. Sophie pinched Franz's face.

Franz covered his face and thought to himself, "If I had said this earlier, I wouldn't have explained it."

If it was just a bed, that would be looking down on Mrs. Sophie.

Franz's food has also deteriorated a lot. In the past, Franz's food was personally responsible for the royal chef.

Now that Mrs. Sophie has taken over Franz's meal, she hopes that Franz can feel the suffering of the people.

As a result, some inexplicable food appeared on Franz's dining table, including blood sausage and beef tripe.

There was actually a kind of porridge-like food, which looked friendly to Franz, but the taste was really unpalatable.

And it’s not so much porridge as it is paste, a slimy, semi-solid substance.

This kind of food is a kind of food in rural areas of Austria. It is made by boiling things like wheat bran, cabbage and bracken with water.

Wheat bran, a by-product of wheat processing, is now often used as feed. It tastes bad and can scratch your throat (I have eaten it.).

After several days of torture, Franz thought it was over.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sophie planned to let Franz know the customs and customs of various countries around the world.

First, Britain, looking up at the stars.

Franz had mixed feelings looking at the plate of small fish that were still clinging to death.

Then came the canned herrings from Sweden. The cook in the kitchen heated them up for fear of spoiling Franz's stomach.

Then a disaster of epic proportions struck. The stench spread everywhere and the servants had to clean the kitchen thoroughly and replace all the kitchen utensils.

Spanish cheese.

Japanese bonito.

But it wasn’t Franz who couldn’t bear it first, but Thalia.

As Franz's tutor, she also has the responsibility of tasting food.

Therefore, Thalia is the first victim of every dark dish cooked by Mrs. Sophie.

In the past, she would naturally accept all the big meals, but now the dark cuisine is really too much for her.

Finally one day, Thalia was poisoned by Mrs. Sophie's dark cuisine. She first suffered from diarrhea and then a high fever.

If Franz hadn't prepared allicin long ago, I'm afraid Thalia would have met God.

However, after Thalia woke up, the first thing she did was to ask Franz what he had given her.

Just when Franz was about to introduce his new product Allicin to her.

Thalia stopped Franz.

"Don't say it out loud. Let me vomit for a while. I'm not pure anymore."

Franz was confused. In fact, he had prepared penicillin, but the output was too small, and Franz did not have injection tools.

Thalia couldn't stand the horrible food and told Madame Sophie that she wanted to resign.

I would rather spend the rest of my life in jail than never eat these horrible foods again.

At this time, Mrs. Sophie finally realized that she might not be a good cook and the food she chose might be a little too much.

Instead of punishing Thalia or sending her to prison, Madame Sophie gave her 500 florins and a week's vacation to eat well and relax.

500 florins was not a lot at this time, equivalent to a worker's salary for three years.

Madame Sophie gives Thalia a break, but Franz gives her a new assignment.

After all, Franz now regarded himself as Thalia's savior, so Thalia had no choice but to do as he was told.

Thalia, the tutor, was away, and Franz felt free that he no longer had to do homework.

But Mrs. Sophie did not intend to let Franz go. She found a linguistics professor who was a real master and was proficient in more than a dozen foreign languages.

Perhaps because the original owner's language talent was so exaggerated, Franz quickly mastered the eight most important languages ​​in the Austrian Empire.
