Versailles is worse than being queen

◎Mr. Tesla rejected my marriage proposal. ◎

The maid Mrs. Neuner was waiting outside the queen's study, listening to the queen's roars inside, she was terrified.

To her surprise, the little princess had a calm expression after she came out, and she was silent on the way back to her room with her.

She didn't raise her head until she entered the room: "Madam, please give my sapphire brooch to Mrs. Brandes."

Mrs. Neuner was taken aback.Is it given to the maid who has just been fired?

"Please tell her for me, I'm sorry." Antanya's voice was calm, unable to detect emotion, "It's not her fault."

As for Princess Amelia...

Perhaps because she was too young at the time, Antania knew for the first time that her sister was forced by her mother to marry the Duke of Parma, and she already had a heart for herself.

Marrying someone she doesn't love for the sake of politics was originally her and all her sisters' destiny.

Like Johanna, like her, when she got married, she was still young, and she didn't understand anything, and she didn't feel anything; but like Amelia, who already had a sweetheart, I'm afraid she would never be able to let go.

No wonder that after she married Parma, she caroused like a demonstration in the court, and even publicly broke with the Queen, which became a scandal in the Austrian court.

It's really pitiful when you think about it.

Antania thought for a while, and knocked on Isabella's door.

Isabella's own brother was Ferdinando, the soon-to-be Duke of Parma.

Ferdinando was the only son of Philip I, Duke of Parma, and Marie-Louise, Princess of France, and grandson of King Louis XV of France.

It is said to be the favorite one, even more favored than Louis XVI - of course he is still called "Prince Louis" now.

"Isabella, I heard that His Majesty wants Amelia to marry your younger brother." Antanya cut to the chase, "Do you think they are suitable?"

"Ah," Isabella was very surprised, "This...I'm afraid this can't be decided by me..."

Antania sat beside her: "Isabella, I've heard about Ferdinando. He is just like you, gentle and kind, but he just doesn't know how to say 'no'."

"...Oh." Isabella rubbed her forehead, "Indeed."

"But you also know what kind of temperament Amelia is, right? She has always been independent, strong, and one-sided."

Most of the Queen's children are raised together by a couple of similar ages, like Johanna and Josepha.

But because Amelia was an older brother and younger brother, she was brought up alone most of the time, so she seemed to be particularly rebellious among all the princes and princesses.

——Actually, Antania is also like this.

"You're right." Isabella sighed distressedly, "If the two of them really make up a couple, I'm afraid it will be an unfortunate marriage."

No need for "afraid" at all.

Antánia knew the notoriety of her sister's marriage to Palma: the couple had nothing in common, and after marriage they played their own way.The new duchess is extravagant and profligate, spends money like water, and replaces the maids with a royal guard composed of young and handsome teenagers, who hang out with them all day long.

Her notoriety soon made the Queen in Vienna jump with anger, and even in the Palace of Versailles, there were many people who disliked Antania at that time to humiliate her with this incident.

Antanya, who was only a teenager at the time, was annoyed by this.

But she finally knew at this time that Amelia herself was reluctant from the beginning.

Antania vividly described to Isabella in an exaggerated tone the possible consequences of the resentful couple if they really got married, which made Isabella terrified.

"The most important thing is that she already has a lover. Forced to part with her lover and marry someone she doesn't love, what would a person full of resentment do?"

"Ah! I don't know that." Isabella couldn't help covering her mouth, "It's so pitiful... But, but... Antania, I'm just a married princess, what I say is useless. "

Antanya sighed in her heart, and guided patiently: "No, Joseph loves you very much, and you can influence his opinion."

When Amelia married Palma, an important factor was that Joseph died of smallpox because of his beloved wife. He hoped that one of his younger sisters could be related to his wife's family.

"Also, you can also write to Prince Ferdinando. He is the groom in this marriage. Although His Majesty doesn't care about the bride's opinion, she will always listen to the groom's opinion!"

Ferdinando is the only son of the Duke in Parma, and he is much more favored than Amelia.His opinion can influence the Duke of Parma, and the opinion of the Duke of Parma will definitely be taken seriously by the Queen.

"That...well, you're right." Isabella had to admit.

"However, we are still children after all, the elders must marry, and none of us can stop it."

Didn't she herself just marry to Vienna because she didn't know what kind of person Joseph was?She was also depressed for a long time because of this.

Antania patted her on the shoulder: "It's not to stop the marriage. What we are talking about now is that Amelia and Ferdinando should not get married? Then just change someone. And Ferdinando is 13 years old , Amelia is 18 years old, so it's not too good for such a big age difference."

Isabella realized it later, her eyes widened in surprise: "Then what do you mean..."

"The princess after Amelia is Johanna," Antanya blinked, "Johanna is already engaged to the kings of Naples and Sicily, rule it out. The next one is Josepha—Josefa this year Also 13, isn't it exactly the same age as Ferdinando?"

Antania knew very well that no matter how clear she was about the future, she was still just a child under ten years old, without any real power, and the queen would not listen to her opinion.

But in the present history, two of the most crucial changes have taken place - both Isabella and Johanna lived past 1763.They had been vaccinated and would not die of smallpox in the future.

As long as Isabella lived, she could influence her brother's opinion.

While Johanna was alive, Josepha would not be arranged by the Queen to marry the King of Naples instead of her.

Although Josepha is still a little girl now, just like Antania herself did not understand what love was back then, but she is similar to Ferdinando in character, they are both gentle and kind. Amelia's chances of being happy are much higher.

Compared with marrying other kings, this one is probably the most suitable for her.

Antania can only do this at the moment.

After Antania left, Isabella sat in the room thinking about how to talk to her husband and younger brother, and then she suddenly became suspicious——

Was she actually discussing marriage with her nine-year-old little sister just now?

……

Antalya left the room of the Grand Duchess, and before the new daughter Mrs. Fleichenfeld arrived at the Schönbrunn Palace, she asked Caroline to help watch the wind, and she sneaked out of the palace by herself.

When she arrived at Nicholas' residence, she cut straight to the point: "Lend me your gun."

It had been two years since Antania brought Nikolai back to Vienna, and she was too lazy to show any restraint in front of him—he had seen her most embarrassing moments in the bookshelves anyway.

Though her own guns were confiscated, he always had them—hunting and swordsmanship were compulsory subjects for noble lords, just as female reds and music were compulsory subjects for her.

That's why she didn't bother arguing with the queen, she still had a spare anyway.

The young man was leaning in front of a machine with a strange appearance and a complex structure. Hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at her: "I heard that I'm going to get married, can't I think about it? ——The gun is in the second drawer over there."

When he was summoned to the palace to meet the emperor yesterday, he heard about the marriage agreement of Austrian law.

The whole Schönbrunn Palace was talking about it—France was, after all, one of the most powerful forces on the whole continent.

Although the young maid who shared the gossip with him said that it was just to "investigate Princess Antania first", and the princess herself is only nine years old now, and even if she really wants to get engaged, she will have to wait at least a few years, but he knows the truth of history. ending.

"You are well informed." Antanya raised her eyebrows.

She took the gun straight out of the drawer, filled it with powder and pellets deftly—and was held down.

"To shoot, go to the back of the house." Nicholas was really afraid that she would destroy the manuscripts he had accumulated for the past two years.

His fingers touched something on her wrist, and he froze suddenly.

It was a strange pearl shaped like a wing, and it hung on a slender silver bracelet.

Time froze at this moment, and his pupils dilated slightly.

It wasn't because of his original pearl phobia—it was fortunate that he got rid of that strange disease after changing his body, otherwise, given the aesthetic preferences of people in this era, he would probably have to spend his days in the basement.

While Nicholas was in a trance, Antanya smiled slightly, suddenly moved the hammer, and raised the muzzle of the gun——

boom!

It hit the big tree in the distance outside the window, startling several crows to "quack quack" and fly around.

Nicholas suddenly came back to his senses, and took a look at the window: "..."

Wayward little girls are terrible.

After a while, he pushed the machine aside and decided to take this dangerous guest seriously: "What do you think?"

"What do I think?" Antanya tilted her head, "What do I have to think about?"

Nicholas considered his words, "Speaking of which, I remember you sighed to me that love and marriage are simply the root of all evil."

At that time, he glanced at her a little strangely, thinking that this little girl was really stimulated by her parents.

"So?" Antanya lowered her eyes and blew on the last few strands of smoke from the gun, "What do you want to say?"

Nicholas leaned against the window with his hands folded and watched her quietly for a while.

The nine-year-old girl is still immature and thin, but the facial features on her petite face are delicate and exquisite. Under the light of the sun, her fair skin is translucent and shiny, and she can already see her future beauty when she grows up.

Those well-shaped eyes reveal a gentle blue like forget-me-not, looking at him with a hint of teasing brilliance at this moment, reminiscent of a deer jumping in the morning fog in the forest.

"I said that I can divination, which can help you avoid the greatest disaster in your life."

Although she confidently refused his help.

He slowly restrained his smile: "Divination tells me that you'd better not marry in France - the catastrophe is there."

Antanya raised her eyebrows slightly, tilted her head and looked at him for a few seconds with a half-smile.

Afterwards, she sneered: "Then... do you marry me?"

Nicholas was taken aback for a moment, and was choked up once in a while: "Uh, I didn't mean that..."

"On May 1764, 5, Mr. Tesla refused my marriage proposal."

Antanya slowly filled the muzzle of the gun with gunpowder, took a step forward, raised her eyes and stared at him faintly, "I remember."

"..." Nicholas shuddered inexplicably.

Before he could argue, she looked out of the window behind him in surprise: "Huh, Doctor Sweeten?"

What is he here for?Nicholas turned around subconsciously.

thump!He was suddenly pushed and shoved, his center of gravity shifted, and he staggered to the side of the window sill.

The hard metal immediately pressed against his lower back, and the sound of the hammer being struck came in the next second, "click".

"do not move."

There was no more teasing in the girl's voice, only a cold threat.

The muzzle of the gun was slightly hot, and it was pressed against the boy's body through a thin shirt.

The rhythmic heartbeat in the chest was transmitted along the deadly metal, from his curved waist to her palm.

Antanya leaned forward and leaned close to the ear of the young prisoner.

"Don't expect to fool me with alchemy and divination."

The girl's red lips parted slightly, and her voice was as soft as silk, as if whispering in her lover's ear: "Give me a reasonable explanation."

"Tell me how you see the future."

It is said that Tesla has a pearl phobia and can't bear pearl jewelry on others orz

Life is too hard, let him have it easier.
