The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria's Mandate of Heaven Chapter 40

1836, Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.

Franz ushered in his sixth birthday. According to the royal practice, Franz had to leave the nursery.

When Franz was leaving the nursery, Maximilian stared at Franz, wishing that Franz would leave his kingdom immediately.

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

Everyone who came to the nursery would visit Franz first, whether it was servants or family members, it seemed that everything was for Franz, and he could only be the second.

When Maximilian went to the Hall of Mirrors for the first time, he was attracted by the bright and spacious hall, and Franz II sat on the high throne, which made Maximilian's heart turbulent.

He unconsciously wanted to take the throne, but he was stopped by Franz II.

"Little Maximilian, don't go any further, you can't sit in this seat."

But Maximilian didn't intend to listen to the old man, and then Franz II spoke in a harsher tone.

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

Grand Duke Louis stopped Maximilian and said.

"Grandpa Louis took you to play, do you want to watch the military parade, or do you want to ride a horse?"

Maximilian didn't answer, but just turned his head and looked at the throne unwillingly, it was obvious that Franz was sleeping on it...

Both were born from the same mother's womb, why is it so unfair to God.

BGM: The snowflakes are fluttering, and the north wind is blowing. The world is boundless.....

After Franz left the nursery, 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.

Talia was also forced to leave the den she had stayed in for five years and moved next door to Franz. After all, as a governess, she was obliged to take care of Franz.

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

It turned out, however, that Franz was still too young to know how terrifying a woman would be if she spartan.

She was already desperate for her husband's timidity, mediocrity and incompetence.

Ever since, Madam Sophie put all her energy on Franz.

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

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

Mrs. Sophie obviously wanted to infect Franz with her enthusiasm, but Franz who left the soft bed was very unhappy.

"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. After success, they are more likely to be satisfied, and after failure, they are more likely to be depressed..."

Franz explained that to be honest, he really doesn't think that the more miserable the person, the easier it is to succeed, and it is true that the easier it is to go to extremes.

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

Franz covered his face and said in his heart, "I said that earlier, so I won't explain it."

If it's just a bed, it would be too small for Mrs. Sophie.

Franz's meals have also deteriorated a lot. In the past, Franz's meals were taken care of by the royal chef himself.

And now Mrs. Sophie has taken over Franz's meals, and she hopes that Franz can feel the suffering of the people.

Ever since, some inexplicable food appeared on Franz's dining table, such as blood sausage and beef belly.

There is actually a food similar to porridge. Franz looks very friendly, but the taste is really hard to swallow.

And it's not so much porridge as it is mush, a sticky semi-solid substance.

This stuff is a kind of food in the Austrian countryside, which is made of wheat bran to accelerate things like cabbage and fern root and boiled in water.

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

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

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sophie planned to let Franz learn about the customs and customs of various countries in the world.

First the United Kingdom, looking up at the stars.

Franz looked at the plate of small fish that died in peace, and he had mixed feelings.

Then came the canned herring from Sweden. The chef in the kitchen was afraid that Franz would spoil his stomach, so he specially heated it up...

Then an epic disaster struck.. the stench was everywhere.. the servants had to clean the kitchen thoroughly and replace all the utensils.

spanish cheese...

Japanese bonito...

But it wasn't Franz who couldn't bear it first, but Talia.

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

So for every dark dish Madam Sophie cooks, Talia is the first victim.

She naturally would not refuse the big meals in the past, but the dark dishes now are really too much for her.

Finally one day, Talia was poisoned by Mrs. Sophie's dark cooking, first she had diarrhea~www.mtlnovel.com~ and then she had a high fever.

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

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

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

Talia stopped Franz.

"Don't say it, let me vomit for a while, I'm not pure anymore."

Hearing this, Franz was confused. In fact, he also prepared penicillin, but firstly, the output was too small, and secondly, Franz did not have injection tools.

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

Rather spend the rest of your life in jail than eat these horrible foods again.

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

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

500 florins is not a lot at this time, equivalent to a worker's salary for 3 years.

Mrs. Sophie gave Thalia a leave, but Franz arranged a new mission for her.

After all, now that Franz regarded himself as Talia's savior, Talia had no choice but to follow suit.

Talia, the tutor, was away, and Franz felt that he didn't have to do homework, so he was so free.

But Mrs. Sophie didn't intend to let Franz go. She found another professor of linguistics. This professor was a real master and he was proficient in more than a dozen foreign languages.

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