Chapter 101： At the wedding

As time approaches, Romania is looking forward to the crown prince’s wedding. Part of it is respect for the royal family, and part of it is because the royal family has deeply invaded the Romanian economy, and a large number of people have benefited from royal enterprises.

On September 10th, the Austro-Hungarian delegation led by Crown Prince Ferdinand took a special train from the Austro-Hungarian royal family to Bucharest. Prime Minister Bretianu brought Romanian officials to greet the group. This time led by the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince, we can also see the importance of Romania in the heart of Austria-Hungary. This is an affirmation of Romania's development in recent years.

This time, Princess Sophie Marie, the protagonist of the send-off group, is sitting in a luxurious private room, curiously observing the world outside the window.

"Princess, you see we have arrived in Bucharest." The maid Anna, who was also outside the observation window, said to Princess Sophie Marie like a sparrow.

"I see, can't you stop on the road and keep talking all the way." Princess Sophie Marie who said Anna was also looking out the window. After meeting with Crown Prince Edel, she has been writing letters to contact the two parties. But for a girl who is falling in love, letters can never represent a real person, and now she wants to see her lover again.

"But I heard someone talk in sleep last night, like saying,'Edel misses you so much.'"

Anna's words made Princess Sophie Mary blush, she rolled up her sleeves and planned to clean up this daring Nizi. Just then there was a knock on the door. Sophie Marie quickly tidied up her clothes with Anna's help, and then returned to the image of a lady, and Anna stood behind her in a proper manner.

"Please come in."

Following Sophie Marie's answer, an Austro-Hungarian royal guard opened the door and saluted the princess. "Your Royal Highness, Bucharest is here, the Crown Prince and Grand Duke Otto Franz are waiting for you to pass."

"Okay, I know."

Following Sophie Marie's answer, the Austro-Hungarian royal guard left the princess's private room.

After a while, Sophie Marie brought her maid Anna to the door of the carriage, and saw Prince Ferdinand and her father, Grand Duke Otto Franz, all dressed up and waiting for her. After the princess stepped forward to greet the two of them separately, Grand Duke Otto Franz asked. "Why so late?"

"I am finishing my clothes and makeup."

Princess Sophie Marie never mentions that she was playing and forgetting the time.

"Okay, let's get ready to go down." Uncle Ferdinand persuaded her father, Grand Duke Otto Franz, to get out of the car with a smile after finishing talking.

Prime Minister Bretianu, who was waiting on the platform, saw that Grand Duke Ferdinand got off the train first, and immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"Meet His Royal Highness Prince Ferdinand." Prime Minister Bretianu who walked to the front of Grand Duke Ferdinand first saluted him.

"You are welcome, Prime Minister, this time I mainly brought my niece Sophie Marie to complete the marriage. This is also the result of the further relations between Austria-Hungary and Romania."

Prince Ferdinand had known about this Bretianu before. This was a prime minister who favored Britain and France. After he obtained the post of prime minister, the ambassadors of Britain, France, and Russia went to his home to congratulate him. Although Crown Prince Ferdinand had a lot of opinions on the Prime Minister in his heart, he still looked like a good friend whom he hadn't seen for many years.

"His Royal Highness Ferdinand is right, our relationship with the Austro-Hungarian Empire is indeed improving."

Prime Minister Bretianu followed what the Austro-Hungarian crown prince said, and then talked with Grand Duke Otto Franz to express friendship. Finally, standing in front of Princess Sophie Marie, Prime Minister Bretianu stood in front of the beautiful-looking crown prince’s fiancee. A standard meeting with the royal court was made by the prime minister. After finishing, he told the princess.

"I have seen your Royal Highness, the Romanian people will cheer for your arrival."

"Thank you Prime Minister for your compliment, I also love the Romanian people." Princess Sophie Mary answered the Prime Minister politely.

After a cordial conversation, Prime Minister Bretianu took them to Bloor Palace, where other royal families stayed.

On the way to Bloor Palace, a long line of carriages drove down the street. Outside there are soldiers from the Guards Division 1 on duty, as well as Romanians waving enthusiastically at them. These people have long known that there is their beloved crown prince fiancee in the convoy, and this is an expression of their respect to the royal family.

In the fourth carriage, Sophie Marie and the maid Anna are observing the scenery of Bucharest.

"His Royal Highness, you see that there is not much difference between this place and Vienna. I heard that the streets of Bucharest are not good, but I didn't expect that the difference is not big." Maid Anna started playing her sparrow role again.

"Okay Anna, can't you stop it? You keep talking along the way, aren't you thirsty?"

When facing the princess, Anna thought about it seriously. "I'm indeed a little thirsty and need to drink some water." After speaking, he took a sip from the water glass.

"Hahaha." Sophie Marie was amused by her little confused maid.

Anna watched the princess smile to herself inexplicably, thinking that the makeup on her face was spent quickly picked up the mirror and took a look. This made Sophie Marie smile more happily. She covered her belly with her hands and smiled like her stomach hurts, which made the little confused Anna a little confused.

Sophie Marie, who eased her breath a little, said to Anna. "How should you live Anna in the future? I'm going to be teased to death by you."

"Princess, I will follow you, and Anna will not go anywhere in the future."

While they were laughing and making noise, the carriage finally arrived at Bloor Palace. After the group got out of the car, it was a little strange that Princess Sophie Mary covered her belly with her hands. Grand Duke Otto Franz still cared about his daughter, stepped forward and asked. "Mary, what's wrong with you?"

"Father is okay, but Anna tells me a joke, and her stomach hurts a little bit. It will be fine after a while." Princess Sophie Marie replied.

The Grand Duke Otto Franz, who heard that this was the reason, couldn't say anything, and the group walked into the Bloer Palace.

The Bloer Palace was built by the order of the Romanian King Carol I in 1881. There are a total of 89 rooms scattered in three three-story conjoined buildings. The various decorations in the building are small and exquisite. Outside the building is also a lot of fountains, statues, and gardens. The most famous angel statue is based on Romania The most famous painter Teodor Aman created. Many other royal nobles and heads of government have been hosted in this small palace, and now the Austro-Hungarian delegation also lives in this palace.

"Princess, what are we doing now?" Maid Anna asked Sophie Marie.

"Get ready to take a rest, the train is too tired" Princess Sophie Marie, who was looking at the servants busy, replied while lying on the bed.

After hearing the princess's words, Anna also threw herself on the bed.

Now the tired Austrian-Hungarian sent-off group will take a day off and rehearse for the wedding.
