Chapter 116 The Source of Rudolph’s Nightmares

"Ernst! Why are there so many carriages? Where are you going?" Constantine asked, looking at the neat carriages in the yard.

"Father, this is not just after Christmas. I am thinking of visiting the children in school. They are all orphans and have no families, so I plan to visit them." Ernst replied.

"Well! Well done Ernst. I also want to see these poor children. Wait a minute. We, father and son, will go to school together later." Constantine said.

As nobles, generally speaking, smart nobles have to cultivate their own reputation, such as relieving some disaster victims and vulnerable groups.

Of course, there are also some hard-core roosters who are eager to take away the last bit of savings from the pockets of their subordinates and ruin the reputation of the aristocratic group.

However, most nobles have above-average IQs, and even if they don't have love, they can still put on a show.

The royal family of Hechingen has always had a good reputation in Hechingen, and Constantine would also support some Hechingen residents who were living in difficulty during holidays.

…

The carriage moved slowly, Ernst and Constantine sitting in the carriage.

"Ernst, I know you are busy, but you can't always be busy with work in life. Sometimes you should also care about other things." Constantine came up and started talking to Ernst.

"Uh...Father, can you tell me directly?" Ernst asked.

"Idiot, this is your marriage. How long has it been since you went to see your fiancée?" Constantine said with hatred.

Ernst was stunned for a moment and thought about it carefully. The last time he saw that little girl was when he went to Schönbrunn Palace a few months ago.

"Father, Karina is still young and there is no need to rush. Although I know that you want to have a grandson in a hurry. Anyway, your daughter-in-law can't run away. We will wait a few years before we talk." Ernst responded.

Karina is only eleven years old this year, and after the Chinese New Year, she will only be twelve. At such a young age, Ernst treats her as a little girl, but Ernst himself is not very old, and this is a political marriage. , I don’t reject it in my heart. Anyway, I won’t get married in a few years, so don’t worry too much.

"Bad boy! Do you think I am an impatient person? Although I am older, I have never panicked no matter how big things happened in my life. If you weren't my son, I wouldn't be too lazy. Mind your business!" Constantine said.

"As someone who has been there, I am sharing my life experience with you. Your mother and I were also married politically at the beginning, and we had no feelings before we got married. However, as your mother and I gradually got along, we were attracted to each other, and we gradually discovered each other. The advantage is that even if Jenny passed away, I did not remarry and raised you by myself.

Therefore, human emotions are developed slowly. Even a stone in your arms can warm your heart, let alone the human heart!

Of course, I know that the slogan of free love has become more popular among young people like you in recent years..."

Hearing this, Ernst couldn't help but interrupt: "Father, you are not secretly reading some romance novels, are you! I have never been an emotional person. For me, free love, from the day I became sensible, I had no intention of doing so. My identity determines that everything should be based on the interests of the family."

This is the truth. As a person from two lifetimes, Ernst was very open-minded. Love is as unreliable as buying lottery tickets. To put it bluntly, it is just impulse.

What the outcome will be depends entirely on God's will. If two people can't get along, no matter how boring they were before marriage, they won't be happy after marriage.

And some people may just want to make ends meet when they get married, but as a result, they gradually develop feelings and live together forever.

Therefore, Ernst did not take emotional matters very seriously, especially his achievements in this life, the development of East Africa, which was very satisfying.

Just like what my fishing friends said in my previous life, I fished every day and never got addicted. What's more, Ernst doesn't have an air force, so his investment in East Africa is all real and can be seen in return.

Although the returns are now very small and insignificant, they also bring Ernst a great sense of satisfaction.

Of course, Ernst does not mean that he is relatively cold in relationships, but he is currently focusing on his career. He is only seventeen years old and is in his prime, so it is better to be more self-disciplined.

"That's not what I'm talking about. What I mean is that you should spend more time with Karina. Poor child, when you meet such a pair of irresponsible parents (Maximiliano I and his wife), I feel so sad in my heart." It’s definitely not comfortable, and communicating in advance will help create a harmonious marriage in the future,” Constantine said.

After hearing this, Ernst thought for a while. What Constantine said was very reasonable. Judging from the mental state of the Habsburg family, it is indeed rare to have figures like Maximilian I and Rudolf. Moreover, the previous generation had mental problems.

Of course, Maximiliano I was in good spirits and had no problem with his IQ. He was just unlucky, spoiled and idealistic, and finally fell into the land of right and wrong in Mexico.

The reason why Crown Prince Rudolf died for love in his previous life. That was entirely due to family reasons. Princess Sissi herself was not suitable to be a queen, but she also greatly influenced Rudolf's character. In addition, Franz was a relatively pedantic and authoritarian person. Rudolf was rebellious and confused. He would choose to end his own life and lead to tragedy. Looking at Rudolf's suicide from his previous life, there was a hint of revenge on his parents.

Well now, Ernst came to this time and space, and the fate of Maximilian I was completely changed. Now he is still living carelessly in East Africa, just giving advice on some affairs in East Africa and often giving advice. Ernst telegraphed.

Ernst also understood why Maximiliano I chose to be the emperor of Mexico in the first place. In later generations, he would be a real political master!

I can do it if I want to, so Maximiliano I went to become emperor. Facts have proved that it may not be possible to become emperor.

However, Ernst humbly accepted some suggestions from Maximilian I, because Maximilian I could give Ernst a different perspective to observe the development of East Africa.

As for Crown Prince Rudolf, he is still a little kid. Ernst is looking for some opportunities to pull him out of the Austrian palace and reshape his values.

In his previous life, Rudolf's political ideas were quite explosive. He did not want to be an emperor, but wanted to become the co-president of Austria and Hungary, and also wanted to win more benefits for Hungary.

This is a typical case of eating everything inside and out! However, this is indeed somewhat similar to Princess Sissi's thoughts, so Ernst thought that he could correct the child's thoughts for Franz.

Whether it succeeds or not, could it be worse than Rudolf's suicide in his previous life? Moreover, Ernst could drag Rudolf through some hard times under the guise of normal exchanges and studies. In Ernst's opinion, since the Austrian royal education would definitely fail, it would be better to arrange for Rudolf to learn and experience some different lives. .

After thinking so much, Ernst said to his father: "Father, don't worry, I will go to Austria more and walk around more."

Ernst decided to observe his fiancée's psychological condition and see if there was any chance of causing trouble for Rudolf.
