[Princess Sissi] Apocalypse

Haggard, but not too bad, those eyes were different from Franz's, bigger and rounder, a little wet, always sunny and contented when he smiled.

To be honest, this is an exciting man, but there are many good, exciting men in the world, but there is only one Franz Joseph, and she happened to meet him early.

"Do you really like him?"

Very well, Song Yi sighed inwardly, it seems straightforward is indeed a Habsburg tradition.

"Yes."

Carl Ludwig groaned in pain.

"I should have visited you sooner, after you fell into the water."

That shouldn't change much, Song Yi thought in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud.

Carl Ludwig's big eyes were a little red, and he looked so depressed and sad.

"Just because he's the emperor?"

"No, of course not." Song Yi denied.

"Then why!" Carl Ludwig raised his voice, but suddenly remembered that he couldn't do this, it would scare Sissy, so his voice turned like some kind of bitter and astringent gas .

"I'm sorry, Cousin Carl." Song Yi said calmly.

"But it really has nothing to do with whether Franz is the Emperor of Austria, power or status."

"I can't accept it." Carl Ludwig sniffed, looking like a kicked puppy.

"It's always been like this."

"Obviously, I liked you first, and he never expressed this idea. That's really despicable. He stole you away from me!"

"I think, if he is a thief, he must be the most stupid thief in the world." Song Yi couldn't help but argue for Franz.

"You defend him..." Carl Ludwig murmured, his face pale.

"I..." Song Yi said, but she couldn't bear to see Carl Ludwig's pale face, but she still said bluntly, "Because I love him."

"you love him……"

Karl Luther kept muttering to himself again, looking like he was about to fall, as if his dream had been shattered by someone himself, he looked like he wanted to escape, but Song Yi held him back.

"I'm so sorry, but what I said is true."

"Oh, Sissy, you're holding a knife right now, and you're tearing my heart apart." Carl Ludwig said painfully.

"You, I don't think you really understand me." Song Yi said hesitantly.

"Of course I understand you!" Carl Ludwig looked insulted.

"The food you like to eat, the color you like, the sport you like and even poetry, we talked about it, didn't we?"

"Oh, yes." Song Yi said, she knew it was done by the previous Sissy, but she was not that Sissy.

"But it always becomes, doesn't it?"

"No, you said you yearned for freedom, you said that only freedom is your life's pursuit! It will never change!" Carl Ludwig said loudly, his lips trembling.

"We are obviously the same, aren't we?"

"What about the responsibility?"

"what?"

Song Yi said seriously: "Responsibility, only children talk about freedom regardless of everything."

"You've changed, Sissy." Carl Ludwig couldn't believe it.

"Well, maybe to put it another way, I've grown up."

"You've become just like Franz, just like Sophie, you..." Carl Ludwig couldn't go on.

"We just assumed our own responsibilities. Maybe I would have sneered at everything now and only talked about equestrianism, but people can't just dream and do nothing."

"I love Franz, but he is the emperor, so sometimes I have to bear it, thinking that it would be great if he was a tailor, but more often, I also want to face it with him and take responsibility, you understand? ?Because I love someone, so I have to bear the responsibility of loving him instead of complaining. In addition to sharing, two people also need to bear it!"

Carl Ludwig was speechless.

Song Yi softened her tone, maybe the Grand Duke in front of her was older than him, but he was simple by nature, Franz should not always be alone, she wanted to help him.

"Do you really, love him?" Carl Ludwig felt like there was a lump in his throat when he asked this sentence.

Song Yi nodded and said affirmatively, "Yes."

"I, I see." Carl Ludwig took a deep breath.

"Goodbye, Qian..." The man paused, and then whispered, "Your Majesty the Queen."

37. chapter 37

When Franz finally finished this conversation, it had been an hour and a half since Sissy left.

"Do you want to prepare horses for His Majesty?" Colonel Walter asked.

The emperor blushed suddenly, he turned his head and tried to keep his voice low to conceal his thoughts.

"Don't indulge me too much, dear Walter." He looked at his attendant and said solemnly.

The colonel smiled.

Franz had two hours to spare, he gave up walking, it was difficult to be a human again after getting used to company, and he thought it was time for him to go to Karl Ludwig's too .

"Karl Luther keeps the Grand Duke at the stable," said the maid.

Franz came to the stables. Not far away, his younger brother was riding back. He was wearing a brown riding suit and looked tall and long-legged. Seen from the back, the two brothers did look alike. The difference lies in Carl Ludwig's face is narrower and longer, and seems more like Sophie.

When the emperor came, as a subject, he couldn't still sit on the horse. It was against the rules, and it could even be called an offense. Even though they had the same mother, their identities were destined to be like this.

Carl Ludwig did not dismount immediately. When he saw Franz, his hands subconsciously tightened the reins. Then, he pursed his lips and finally dismounted.

"Your Majesty's official duties have been taken care of?"

Carl Ludwig handed over the horse to the attendant, walked up to Franz a few steps, and asked.

There was perhaps a bit of sarcasm in his voice, but as he knew, Franz would not be offended by him, as if, he was insignificant, which irritated Karl Ludwig greatly.

Because of Franz's performance, it is clear that he is not even a rival in love in the other party's heart.

"If you're here for condolences, I don't think it's necessary, Your Majesty."

Karl Ludwig looked at Franz with a somewhat prickly look.

"The emperor can always get what he wants, this is the rule."

"Excuse me and leave."

Carl Ludwig was about to leave, but Walter stepped forward and stopped him.

"you!"

"Carl."

Franz turned his head.

Carl Ludwig also turned his head, his pale eyes glaring at Franz unabashedly.

"Are you calling me as an emperor or as an elder brother?"

"If it's the former, of course I'll stay, if it's the latter, I'm leaving now."

"Get out of the way, I order you as Grand Duke, Colonel Walter." Carl Ludwig said sharply, Walter glanced at his majesty, and then stepped aside.

Karl Ludwig was about to leave again, but was stopped again.

"Grand Duke Karl Ludwig, I order you as the emperor." The voice was not loud, and the volume was low, but it did not contain a sense of threat, but this made the young Grand Duke's heart finally explode with a "bang". stand up.

Walter stopped Carl before he was about to hit him.

"Since I can't let you stay as an elder brother, I have no choice but to use my identity as emperor." Franz said.

"Put your hands down, Karl, attacking the emperor is not something to whitewash, especially in the current situation."

"I don't care! Even if I have to go to the dungeon for this! Franz Joseph, you can't do this to me!" Carl Ludwig said with red eyes.

"It has always been like this! She said that you are the emperor, so naturally everything is yours! I don't care, but you can't take Sissy away from me, just because you like it, so you can get it?"

"If you were six, or if I was a teenager, I'd beat you up, Karl, I mean it," Franz snapped.

Carl Ludwig was a little overwhelmed.

Franz stepped forward, and Walter let go of the hands that stopped the Grand Duke.

Franz raised his hands to arrange Karl Ludwig's clothes, and he smoothed the hem of the latter's clothes neatly.

"When I was six years old, I was asked to learn many etiquettes, whether it was dining or dealing with people. Tumont was never a gentle teacher. If I did not do well, the punishment given to me was to take a cold shower. It was endless. Standing alone, or having no one talk to me for days."

Franz took a step back.

"Tumont said I wasn't eligible until I actually learned how to talk to big shots."

"You can tell mom!" Carl Ludwig couldn't believe it.

Franz smiled slightly: "Karl, I'm not you, I know this is what I have to bear, and what do you think I am? Don't just see the brilliance of the emperor, but you can't see the hard work and effort I have put in for it. What did you give up?"

Franz withdrew his gaze, his smile was completely restrained at the corner of his mouth, his eyes were far away but calm.

"Carl, I want you to know that before this, I have never violated my mother's wishes even once, except Sissy."

Carl Ludwig's muscles stiffened, as if he couldn't hear the name Sissy.

"I have to admit
