Chapter 113 The Shackles Removed

Not long after I took Teresa out of the kitchen, I sat down in the reception room of the monastery where visitors were received, and soon the Duke of Bavaria returned.

Seeing his face flushed, he walked in unhurriedly, and glanced at his slightly messy clothes, I felt that most of this guy was looking for a nun again. Calculate the time, probably when I stepped into this place, Bavarians went to inform their Bavarian Duke.

Facing the Duke of Bavaria, there were only three of us in the room. Teresa seemed to be scared of being swept by a man of her grandfather. Therefore, when she saw the Duke of Bavaria, her aura was weak, but soon, she raised her small breasts again, as if she maintained her so-called dignity of the Habsburg royal family.

As for the Duke of Bavaria, I asked straight to the point: "Is the Elector having a conflict with His Highness the Princess?"

"It's just a little bit unpleasant. Is it right, Teresa, dear, please come to me." The Duke of Bavaria slapped his butt.

I glanced at Loli and saw that she didn't move.

No, it must have moved. Loli was given goosebumps by the Duke of Bavaria's "Dear".

The Duke of Bavaria became nervous when he saw that Loli didn't cooperate. So he was sweating on his forehead.

"Your Highness, your behavior of sitting next to the guest is inappropriate." The Duke of Bavaria's voice sank, looking a little dissatisfied, and the Loli of Austria was unmoved.

The Duke of Bavaria said in embarrassment: "Sorry, it seems that His Highness the Princess seems to be in a bad mood."

"Of course not! You almost molested me today!"

"Your Highness Princess! Please don't talk nonsense in front of the prince, okay? I am indeed a little impulsive today, but I am not inappropriate." The Duke of Bavaria defended.

"You're almost throwing me over and pulling my legs apart. Isn't that arguing?" Teresa was very excited and shouted with her fists clenched with her hands.

The Duke of Bavaria suddenly stood up, and Loli was so scared by the action of the grandfather-level uncle.

"Elector, what do you want to do?"

I was only one step slower than the Bavarian Elector, so I stopped him and Loli.

The Duke of Bavaria clasped his hands tightly. He said the next second: "Sorry."

"As soon as I came here today, I learned that the Elector actually threw Princess Teresa down in front of everyone. The intention was to be rude. Although Princess Teresa is your fiancée, the Elector treats his wife like this. I have no right to ask, such matters concern the alliance of Bavaria and Austria. What will the Austrians think of you in the future if you do this?"

"terribly sorry."

The guy who was dozens of years younger than me was scolded. The Bavarian Elector chose to endure.

"I have no right to ask about your previous relationship with the Austrian princess. However, as a member of the alliance, I have to remind you that the friendship between your relationship with the princess determines whether our alliance can be maintained, and we Romans do not want to see the Duchy of Bavaria and the Kingdom of Austria fall into a war because of the disagreement of their respective rulers. Today, I will take the princess away, please think deeply about your actions during this period."

"OK."

Leaving the room. The Austrian loli, who got her wish, jumped happily in the corridor, and didn't care at all that the Bavarian elector was not far away.

After enjoying myself for a while, she reluctantly praised me: "You don't seem to be as bad as others say. I will continue to look for you when I see that guy again."

I rolled my eyes. It turns out that in other people's eyes, I am a bodyguard, and I am still there at any time: "I, a prince of Rome, is that cheap? Princess, do you think a word of praise and a smile can invite me again?"

"That's right. But why are you so unkind? When I need you, but when I encounter difficulties, if Frederick's cousin is willing to help me, I don't have to find you."

Well, it turns out that I am still a spare tire, and I was compared by my own woman.

"Besides, you are the prince. With such a honorable status, do you still need money?"

Your sister, Loli, it seems that when I reach my level, I have already regarded money as dust. It would be great if that was true.

"This is the case. If you ask me for help in the future, you can write me an IOU."

"No! Absolutely no! How can I write an IOU? It sounds so ugly to say it." It seems that this princess-level loli is really not careless.

"Your father owe us more than one IOU," I mentioned.

"He is him, I am me!" Loli said fiercely that she was going to take her unusual path.

"Then come to me when you think of the conditions that touch me."

"Or what if I invite you to ice cream?"

“…”

The matter of Austrian Loli, in the person involved, the Loli only saw her encounter with someone she hated very much and didn't want to stay with him for a quarter of an hour. But in my eyes, in the eyes of us Romans who were trying to maintain an alliance against the French, our alliance has inevitably had a huge crack.

This rift is mainly reflected in the conflict between the Austrians and the Bavarian rulers, which is not conducive to the two countries being united in the confrontation with France. In addition, because the Austrian loli, Prussia was involved for no reason.

In addition, the information I got from Constans is even more noteworthy. She has repeatedly mentioned the Duke of Bavaria, and the strategic geographical location of Bavaria is so important.

It is very likely that the French conducted investigations and reviews on their failures. They have realized that they had spent a lot of time in the Principality of Bavaria. So they had to win the Duke of Bavaria. Without the barrier of Bavaria, the Austrian portal was basically open to the French. If the French strategy was successful, the next war might take less than three or four months to enter Austria.

As for the Duke of Bavaria... he might not have given the interests offered by the French, but now, because of Teresa's attitude, he is likely to choose to give up his cooperation with Emperor Ao and us, join forces with the French, and join the French camp when the next war begins.

I continued to share my thoughts with Alexander and his friends. Everyone had prepared mentally early when they saw Teresa before, so it was not surprising after hearing my news. So the next thing is how to solve this problem.

"Kill it." Alexander said.

"Create any accident." Valence also echoed.

Constance gave his conditions: "Anyway, that guy goes hunting often."

"Don't let those Austrians know," Morris added.

"It's just that the French will inevitably come forward to protect the Duke of Bavaria, so we have to think carefully about how to kill. And we still have to send the relationship between the Duke of Bavaria and the Austrian princess to give the Austrian Emperor a headache," I concluded.

The matter between the Austrian princess and Constans was just a small incident in the entire negotiation, and there was no way to talk about a wave.

After basically discussing the terms and conditions for France, Austria, the Netherlands and the three countries participating in the Warring States period, it was finally our turn and the French.

Regarding our negotiations, it still revolves around two points, the exchange of prisoners on both sides and the tariff adjustments between the two countries.

The French were captured by nearly 40,000 people here, and with a famous general, these military forces were the key to restoring the combat effectiveness of the army.

With this as a handle, we have a great advantage at the negotiating table, but the French also thought they had the handle of ours, that is food. But they didn't know that we had built a vast Ukrainian plain area. We obtained a grain export land with extremely abundant harvests, and that place was next to a natural canal. After the first two years of pain, the situation of the empire had greatly improved. The grain produced from Poland flowed into Constantinople and Anatolia, and had become the largest granary of the empire. The sum of the Danube Plain and Anatolia was compared. In other words, we were basically self-sufficient, and it was not our business to raise the food tariffs of the French.

The loss of our biggest buyers of food in the past few decades is the French, not us. The only thing left to bargain with us is that the French control the entry and exit tariffs of Gibraltar at the entrances and exits of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean. However, when the French fleet was completely destroyed by the Netherlands, there were not even soldiers guarding the door. Gibraltar was not a place where we could enter and exit casually. If we pay the money to the French, it would be a scheming person.

Finally, the French found room for bargaining with us on a trade material.

wood.

We are not short of wood, but we only need wood to build ships. In order to maintain our maritime advantage in the Mediterranean and the Netherlands, and to let the French only focus on army construction, we intend to buy wood from the French, and return to our country to build sliding paddle boats in the canal with the French wood.
