Austria-Hungary, Vienna, Royal Palace.

Baron Belchdold, the Austro-Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs, had informed Emperor Franz Joseph I and Crown Prince Ferdinand, as well as the imperial officials.

Everyone's face was full of shock, even anger.

"Bastard! Damn the Russians, what are they trying to do? They have just killed countless of us on the battlefield, and now they want to marry our grand duke, is this a clear attempt to humiliate us? "Archduke Ferdinand jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Judging from his own attitude, he is undoubtedly strongly opposed to this marriage.

"Yes, Your Majesty. Now the people of the empire are extremely hostile to the Tsarist Russian Empire, and we can't agree to this marriage at this time! Of course, if there had been no war between us and the Russian Empire, it would have been an excellent marriage. Prime Minister Mario Webb said.

Emperor Franz Joseph I nodded.

Indeed, judging by the door-to-door pair, if his granddaughter marries the tsar of the Russian Empire, this is undoubtedly very perfect.

But the biggest problem is that he has to consider the feelings of the people ~ people of the empire.

But in the war that had just ended, the Tsarist Empire pinned them to the ground and rubbed them fiercely-rubbed!

This was utterly a disgrace to Austria-Hungary.

In particular, Archduke Ferdinand, crown prince of Austria-Hungary, was also captured by the Russian Empire, which is simply humiliating.

Archduke Ferdinand spent almost all of his time in the barracks. He had vowed to train the Austro-Hungarian army fiercely, so that the Austro-Hungarian army would surpass the Tsarist Empire in terms of combat strength, and be humiliated in the next war.

"Your Majesty, we will never be able to promise the Russians!" Archduke Ferdinand remained strongly opposed.

There was still a trace of worry in his heart, after all, he was not a direct relative of Franz Joseph I, and the reason why he could become the crown prince of the empire was only because the previous crown prince Rudolf committed suicide.

Franz Joseph I had no other sons, and Crown Prince Rudolf had only one daughter. Therefore, the position of crown prince fell to the head of the territory.

Once the Queen of Elizabeth Mary bus was given to the tsar of the Russian Empire and became the empress of the Russian Empire, if it was not done well, it would pose a great threat to his status.

Franz Joseph I also had some headaches, and from the position of the Austro-Hungarian emperor, he should undoubtedly refuse the marriage. However, if from the position of grandfather, he should undoubtedly support.

In the royal family of this era, let alone free love, it is simply impossible. The right thing is the most important thing.

Tsarist Mikhail II of the Tsarist Empire, young but talented, and the Tsarist Empire is getting stronger and stronger, which is definitely a good match!

But alas, Russia was an enemy of Austria-Hungary.

Most of the Austro-Hungarian leadership opposed the marriage of Archduchess Elisabeth Marie to Mikhail, and only a few believed that marriage with the Russian Empire could be used to ease relations between the two countries.

In the end, Emperor Franz Joseph I decided to consult Archduchess Elisabeth Marie on the matter. After all, she is the one involved. If she wanted to, he would agree to the marriage.

Such a decision naturally made Crown Prince Archduke Ferdinand and others very dissatisfied. However, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria had great prestige in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and what he decided, no one else could oppose.

Whether to marry with the Russian Empire, the final choice was given to the hands of the Grand Duchess Mary Elizabeth.

When Grand Duchess Elizabeth Mary learned the news, she was also shocked.

Her mother, Princess Stephanie of the Kingdom of Bilis, was also surprised.

"Elizabeth, you will soon turn sixteen and will no longer be a child. His Majesty the Emperor leaves the choice of whether to marry the Russian Empire or not to you. So, it's up to you to choose. However, what I want to tell you is that there are currently many people in the upper echelons of the empire who oppose marriage. Especially Archduke Ferdinand, Crown Prince. Princess Stephanie said.

Princess Stephanie is the daughter of King Leopold II of Damai, and after marrying Crown Prince Rudolph, she did not expect that Crown Prince Rudolf would cheat on her in marriage, and even wanted to divorce her.

However, Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria strongly demanded that Crown Prince Rudolf end his improper relationship with his mistress.

Unexpectedly, Crown Prince Rudolf went to extremes, first killing his mistress, and then committing suicide.

"Why should he oppose my marriage? He has become the crown prince of the empire, does he even want to interfere with my marriage? Elizabeth Mary's face was full of anger.

She was very dissatisfied with Archduke Ferdinand.

Although Austria-Hungary did not have a female empress, there were many female monarchs in other European countries. The Sun Never Sets Empire, the Russian Empire, the Dutch Blue Kingdom, etc., there is no shortage of queens or queens.

Why can't Austria-Hungary have an empress?

Her father died, and as the only daughter of Crown Prince Rudolf and the only granddaughter of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, didn't she become Crown Prince?

When she was young, she didn't feel it yet, but when she was older, she thought that the crown prince was hers.

It's just that the decision of Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria, she cannot change.

Besides, she's just a little girl. Archduke Ferdinand has built up his influence over the years. She simply had no way to compete with Archduke Ferdinand.

But now, her marriage to the Russian Empire gave her new hope.

Perhaps, it is still difficult for her to become the master of the country. But she had at least a glimmer of chance.

Princess Stephanie couldn't help but sigh when she saw this situation.

"Elizabeth, it seems that you have made your choice. However, I hope you don't live in hatred. Otherwise, your life will be gray and there will be no fun. In addition, you have to hurry up and learn Russian, I will find you a Russian teacher! Princess Stephanie said.

Archduchess Elizabeth Mary nodded, but whether she listened to Princess Stephanie's words or not, then only she knew. At least, for now, she wants to take back everything that belongs to her father.

With the consent of the Grand Duchess of Mary Elizabeth, the marriage between the Russian Empire and the Austro-Hungarian Empire has been determined.
