Chapter 288: Carolina's First Love

Albrecht looked rather rude, but he was actually a thoughtful person. No wonder his question made Carolina speechless.

While the elder brother's attention was focused on his younger sister, Friedrich, who had been taught a lesson before, quietly climbed up.

His eyes wandered between the stern-faced Albrecht and the "drowned chicken" Carolina for several times, and he immediately understood the cause and effect of the matter. The scene of her riding a horse and falling into the artificial lake appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at, you guy." As a result, he was hit on the head by his elder brother again.

"Hey, this coat looks familiar, it looks like the one Franz often wears. Didn't he fish you out of the lake?"

"So his name is Franz?" Carolina said thoughtfully.

"Yes, and he is not only your nephew, but also very likely to become the future emperor of this country."

"He is Franz Joseph! I remember my father always mentioned him, saying that he was the one who dominated the entire royal family, and he had extremely unique insights in economics, politics, and military affairs.

If he takes charge of the empire one day, he is very likely to become the greatest monarch in the history of our family." Carolina murmured.

At that time, she thought her father was joking and did not take his praise to heart.

After all, seeing is believing. Alexander, who was previously known as sensible and polite, showed his true colors in front of Carolina. If she married that kind of dandy boy, she might as well stay in the monastery for the rest of her life.

Alexander inherited the advantages of his parents, tall and handsome, with the temperament of both a soldier and an artist. However, because he had just drunk a lot of alcohol, he gave people a feeling of being more like a ruffian, which made Carolina really unacceptable, especially the hungry wolf-like expression he showed from time to time, which made her sick.

In her eyes, the Russian crown prince was a narcissist who lacked self-cultivation. Franz was a completely different person.

His handsome and clean appearance and humble and polite image were much better than that playboy Alexander, and he was also unlike his dull-witted father, Archduke Franz Karl.

Even compared with his brothers, he was much better. The sturdy eldest brother Albrecht was already bald before he was thirty.

The unsmiling second brother Karl Ferdinand wore his monocle all day long, like a scholar who dealt with boring books every day, so gloomy that water could almost drip out.

The third brother Friedrich was lively like a little monkey jumping up and down and chirping all day long, but he was relatively unpopular with women because he had been with the sea and sailors for many years.

And the youngest brother William was as fragile as a piece of fragile glass. Even a little external stimulation could cause him to have an epileptic seizure, and he would fall or even break a bone if he was not careful.

Thinking of this, Carolina couldn't help but think back to the moment when she was leaning against that strong chest and listening to the heartbeat, and her face flushed.

Seeing that their sister looked a little dazed, the two brothers quickly put their hands on her forehead.

"Your forehead is very hot, you must have caught a cold, let's ask a doctor." Albrecht suggested.

"No, I don't want to be bled by those hateful guys!" The terrified Carolina stepped back repeatedly, but the eldest brother, who was a patriarch, carried her on his shoulders without saying anything.

"You are still talking nonsense at this time. How can you cure your illness without bloodletting!"

Carolina, who refused to listen to the advice, tried to break free from Albrecht's palm with her hands and feet. At this time, the discussion scene with Franz suddenly emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but say.

"Wait a minute, I remember that there is a new special medicine in the army, which is specially used to treat colds. Do you want to try it?"

"What kind of medicine is that? What's its name?"

"Garlic capsules."

"I really don't know that my brother, who has always been old-fashioned and serious, has learned to joke. I won't eat it even if I die just because of the name." Carolina couldn't help but sneered.

"Oh? Really? This is invented by Franz, the geek." Friedrich deliberately made fun of it.

"This kid likes to stay in his study all day to make these weird inventions, such as the bitter instant coffee." Albrecht added.

"Well, I'll believe you for once." Carolina nodded.

"Don't you hate eating garlic?" Friedrich continued to joke.

"I'm not a vampire, why would I be afraid?" Carolina retorted.

"Oh, so our little sister has fallen in love. I just wonder if he will have time to chat with you in the future, as he is busy with work." Friedrich decided to share this important news with his brother as soon as possible.

"Franz... Actually, he is not bad. He seems to be particularly good at dealing with older women." Albrecht said thoughtfully.

"Yes, that kid is ridiculously popular with women. He even kidnapped a Japanese female student last time." Friedrich showed jealousy on his face.

"I've had enough of you two riddlers!"

Carolina shook her head and smiled bitterly. It was not easy to communicate with these two older men. She couldn't help but sigh that it would be great if she had a healthy brother or sister who could talk to her.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking. Just as night was about to fall, the three of them left the palace and got on the carriage to drive towards their own palace.

What the three siblings didn't expect was that Ajani had been quietly following Carolina. She wanted to know the identity of this interesting little girl, and left quietly after witnessing everything.

Then she intercepted a letter from Archduchess Carolina to Franz. Of course, Ajani didn't have the courage to open her boss's letter privately, but from the frown on the latter's face when he read the letter, she knew that the little girl must have made him very embarrassed.

"Ajani, you think too much. My marriage must be a political union, and it will not change because of my personal likes and dislikes."

Franz's indifferent and cold tone made Ajani feel a little more regretful.

"It seems that even the imperial family has many helpless aspects."

In fact, Franz simply sneered at such words, because in history, the original owner married Princess Sissi on his own initiative, and now he has the memory of the future, how could he allow others to control his destiny for him?

As for Carolina, the daughter of Archduke Karl, Franz only met her once. She was the most beautiful princess he had ever seen, but he was only eleven years old at this time, and was far from the age of marriage.

Of course, Franz's "political marriage theory" just now was not completely false.

It is normal for the marriage of future monarchs to be political in nature. The object of the marriage is either a foreign country that can bring political benefits to the country, or to stabilize or ease the relationship between the two countries, or simply to obtain a legal heir.

At the very least, the status of the candidates who meet the above conditions must be equal, otherwise there is a great possibility that history will repeat itself, and the scene of the entire court uniting to fight against the queen will be staged again. At that time, Franz's head must be so painful that it will explode.

Not only did this aunt have no political capital, she was also very closely related to Franz by blood, and he did not want the tragedy of inbreeding to happen again.
