Chapter 206, The Victorian Curse

After Frederick got engaged, Franz finalized the marriage of the other three sons as quickly as possible. Since the children were still young, the engagement was only verbally and the ceremony would be held again in the future.

These days, royal marriages are all paternalistic, and they emphasize equality. As long as the parents of both parties reach an agreement, they will basically be determined and rarely ask about the opinions of the parties involved.

It is useless to ask. The oldest person involved is only in his teens, while the youngest person is less than ten years old. It is too bullying to ask them to consider lifelong affairs.

Seeing that Franz was not in high spirits, Queen Helen asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Are you worried?"

"Well! I'm wondering whether it's right or wrong to get a couple of little guys now. If they choose the wrong person, will they blame us?" Franz replied

Queen Helen only heard chuckling: "Franz, you think too much! Don't the royal family come here like this? How bad can it be?

Why do you blame us? You know, I personally asked them what they thought, they agreed to, and they still want to go back on their word!”

Looking at the domineering queen, Franz suspected that something was wrong with his eyes. He did not discover Helen's domineering side in the past.

As for asking "the sons' opinions", Franz ignored it. Is it still difficult to convince a teenage kid?

Franz blamed the blame unscrupulously: "Okay, this is their own wife, so you have to be responsible for their choice."

Yes, they were indeed their own chosen wife. During this period, there was not only one princess in the royal family of Yingbi Hei Kingdom. Marriage was a relationship between two families, and it was not necessarily a certain princess.

There are four princesses in the British royal family. In addition to Edward's three daughters, Prince Alfred also has a daughter, who seems to have not been weaned yet.

Not to mention the Montenegro royal family, Nicholas I was a European father-in-law, with 6 daughters of me, one died in the middle, and now he still has five daughters. The oldest is 13 years old and the youngest has just been weaned.

There were fewer Belgian royal princesses, and Leopold II had only one daughter, but his younger brother and cousin had two daughters.

When considering the situation, this choice seems to be quite large. The actual situation is just the opposite. Franz's youngest son is all over teenage, so how could he choose a little kid who eats breastfeeding?

After the age was not suitable, there was no choice in an instant. In order not to be laughed at, the three little guys decisively accepted Queen Helen's suggestion.

These are all small questions. There is no choice for the marriage of royal members. If you ask for opinions in a symbolic way, you will be very respectful of your personal wishes.

After the sons' lifelong affairs were finalized, Franz was ready to reveal the truth about the "royal disease" to the world.

Franz felt very embarrassed when he got married just now, but in order to prevent the European royal family from being harmed by hemophilia, he resolutely chose to sacrifice his personal integrity.

...

Paris, after the transformation of Napoleon III, the city became more prosperous.

After Napoleon IV ascended the throne, the French government was busy fighting for power and profit, and everyone had no energy or innovation, and continued the economic policies of the Napoleon III era.

Although the French economy is constantly tilting towards the financial industry, it is still in a healthy state overall. Even after an economic crisis, Paris is still prosperous.

In this international metropolis with active thinking, newspapers have become a part of people's lives. Parisians with a little economic strength have developed the good habit of subscribing newspapers.

Mark Payne was one of them. After simply having breakfast in the early morning, he habitually came to the newspaper door and took away the newspaper he had subscribed to.

Mark Payne's face changed drastically when he saw the title on the newspaper he just got.

The title is "The Cruel of Royal Disease - Curse of Victoria". The title is amazing, and the content inside is even more amazing.

Without any opinion, the article simply summarized all the royal cases, found the rules from them, and finally came to the conclusion that all patients were descendants of Queen Victoria.

A detailed list of relatives' blood ties is also attached below, using facts to prove the relationship between patients with "royal diseases" and Queen Victoria.

In the face of facts, Mark Payne naturally believed it. Then he became gloating. There was no doubt that if the news was passed, the British royal family would be in trouble.

It even has a chain reaction to politics. The European royal family, which has suffered from "royal diseases", is probably going to completely hate the British.

Without the French-Prussian War, the French's largest enemy was still the British. As for Austria, they would never be defeated in French newspapers.

The glory left by the Napoleon era made the French pride soar. In order to sell, newspapers naturally cannot confront readers.

Seeing the enemy in trouble is naturally a joy to be happy. On the way to work, Mark Payne has decided to share this good news with his colleagues around him.

It was not just Mark Payne who made the same decision, but countless Parisians made the same choice.

"The Cruel of Royal Disease - Curse of Victoria" spread throughout Paris in the shortest time and began to spread around the world.

After reaching an agreement with the French government and cutting off the French-Egypt trade line, British Minister Toys to France, Thatcher walked out of the French Foreign Ministry with great enthusiasm.

I heard someone talking about "royal illness" and "Victoria curse", which instantly extinguished all his good mood.

British Minister to France Thatcher asked to his entourage: "What's going on William, what the French are doing?"

"My Lord, something big happened. The French Times published an article linking the royal family's illness with the great Queen."

After saying that, William handed the newspaper "The Cruel of Royal Disease - The Curse of Victoria" to Minister Thatcher.

Chu glanced at the contents briefly, and Minister Thatcher directly crumpled the newspaper into a ball and cursed angrily: "Bastard, these damn French guys are so bold, and they dare to arrange any content!"

Several murderous eyes were cast around him, as if he had noticed that something was wrong. Minister Thatcher decisively chose the hero not to suffer the loss in front of him.

He swallowed the rest and ordered: "Go back to the embassy!"

Deep down, Minister Thatcher had already believed that the contents in the newspaper were true. That blood relationship list was so convincing.

Thatcher, who is familiar with international relations, can confirm that the relationship between the characters above is accurate with his own professional knowledge.

This means that the source of the "royal disease" is indeed in Queen Victoria. For the British, this is undoubtedly a big blow.

In a region like Europe with a strong religious atmosphere, it is difficult to explain the source of the virus, which is the "curse".

The problem that follows is big. The royal family that has been "cursed" will inevitably be affected. Perhaps the London government will have another round of power struggle.

In addition to internal conflicts, what is more troublesome is external pressure. If someone is interested in guiding the problem to conspiracy theory, they will have another wave of hatred.

Of course, these issues are something that the London government should worry about. If Thatcher was not the minister to France, he could also be a melon-eating crowd and don’t have to think too much.

Unfortunately, as the ambassador to France, public opinion was detonated from France. No matter there are thousands of reasons or excuses, he can't let it go.

If this problem cannot be properly solved, his political life will be compensated.

After returning to the embassy, ​​Minister Thatcher reported the situation to the country as soon as possible, and of course he did not forget to send a telegram to the queen first.

When it comes to the royal family, Thatcher still has this kind of political acumen.

Queen Victoria has been indifferent for a long time. The conflict between the government and the queen is very small and has high prestige enough. Even if there is a storm, it is most likely to pass it.

To put it bluntly, the "royal disease" only harms the European royal family and does not affect the lives of ordinary people. This cannot shake the foundation of Queen Victoria.

The banner of "curses" will at most make the queen look ugly. It is impossible for the British people to listen to the French shouts and run to overthrow the queen.

...

Not to mention the hidden area of ​​Queen Victoria's heart, the London government has already caught it blindly, and Prime Minister Benjamin was so angry that he overturned his desk.

Foreign Minister Edward said righteously: "This is all an enemy conspiracy, and we cannot get out of our way. The royal family disease is just a coincidence, and we must not accept this kind of slander!"

Never admit it!

This is the only way Edward came up with. Otherwise, the London government would be in trouble, and a new round of political turmoil broke out, and they might have to step down early.

Now that the royal power has not declined, it is common in Europe that the cabinet takes responsibility for the monarch.

After reacting, Prime Minister Benjamin turned his back on the railroad: "Yes, this is all slander from the enemy. We must fight back, and the government immediately organized medical experts to explain to the public.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs filed a serious protest against the French government, demanding that they ban such irresponsible remarks so as not to affect bilateral relations.”

It doesn’t matter whether it is true or false. Now the London government needs it to be fake. It doesn’t need everyone to believe it, as long as most people in the country believe it.

Prime Minister Benjamin is not at ease with other issues for the time being.
