Carl Jonalette was very efficient. In just three days, he had obtained the photos of Princess Elizabeth Mary and Princess Gondelin, as well as a detailed investigation report on them.
Looking at the two young and beautiful girls in the photo, Liu Chuan was very satisfied.
In terms of appearance, the two princesses each had their own merits. However, although Princess Elizabeth Mary was a little young, she was still a little young. However, she was even more beautiful. She had inherited the beauty of her grandmother, Princess Sissi (the heroine of Roman holiday).
Liu Chuan carefully read the investigation report on the two princesses.
Princess Elizabeth Mary had a more solitary personality. Her father had an affair and even committed suicide because of it, causing her to lose her father's love when she was young. At the same time, he felt ashamed.
When Crown Prince Rudolph committed suicide, Princess Elizabeth Mary was already six years old.
Princess Gondelinde, on the other hand, had a lively personality. She was an innocent and happy girl. If he married her, she would be a very good candidate for a wife.
However, Liu Chuan had his own considerations.
Although the Kingdom of Bava was a member of the Germanic Empire, it was only second to the Kingdom of Princes. However, there was still a huge gap between their strength and that of the Kingdom of Princes. Moreover, Liu Chuan planned to further consolidate the power of the member states and further consolidate the central government. In that case, the relationship with the various member states would definitely be very stiff.
Besides, Liu Chuan wanted to annex the Austro-Hun Empire. Therefore, Princess Elizabeth Mary was undoubtedly the best candidate.
"Alright, Carl, I got it. Thank you!”Liu Chuan said.
"Your Majesty, this is my duty!" Karl Jonalette replied.
Then, Liu Chuan went to Queen Victoria's bedroom and told her his choice.
"Mother, I've decided to choose Princess Elizabeth Mary as my Empress! However, she is only thirteen years old." Liu Chuan said.
"That's fine. You can get engaged first. Three years later, when Princess Elizabeth Mary turns sixteen, you can hold your wedding.”Queen Victoria said.
"Yes, mother!" Liu Chuan nodded.
"Then, who should we send to the Austro-Hun Empire to propose marriage?”Liu Chuan asked.
Queen Victoria thought for a moment and said,"" Let the Foreign Minister represent the Empire, and Prince Heinrich represent the royal family to go to the Austro-Hun Empire to propose marriage to His Majesty Franz Joseph I.”
"Alright, Mother!" Liu Chuan replied.
The next day, Liu Chuan summoned Foreign Minister Holwig and Prince Heinrich and asked them to go to the Austro-Hun Empire to propose marriage to Franz Joseph I on his behalf.
Holwig and Prince Heinrich gladly accepted the job.
Liu Chuan was already nineteen years old. However, if they could get married as soon as possible and give birth to the next heir of the empire as soon as possible, that would undoubtedly be the best.
This would make the German Empire more stable.
Especially in the past two years, Liu Chuan's performance had already satisfied the higher-ups of the Germanic Empire. Everyone had already recognized his status.
Holwig and Prince Heinrich, as the emissaries of the German Empire, took the train to the Austro-Hun Empire.
However, before they set off, the German Empire had already notified the Austro-Hun Empire. Furthermore, he made his purpose clear to them.
Franz Joseph I was already 76 years old, and was definitely the oldest monarch in Europe.
Even though he had handed over most of the affairs to the Crown Prince, Archduke Ferdinand, to handle. However, there were still many things that he had to personally ask about.
There were many internal conflicts in the Austro-Hun Empire. The reason why it could still be maintained was because of the great prestige of Franz Joseph I in the empire.
He was even worried that once he passed away, Archduke Ferdinand, as the crown prince, would not have enough prestige to rule the entire empire. Therefore, he had been living tenaciously. After experiencing the pain of losing his son and wife, he endured the grief and was tenacious!
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Germanic Empire wishes to ask for Mary. Should we agree to this marriage?" Archduke Ferdinand asked.
"What do you think?" Franz Joseph I asked.
After all, he was already old, and in the future, this empire would still have to be handed over to Archduke Ferdinand.
"As Mary's uncle, I have to admit that His Majesty William III is a very suitable marriage partner. From the information we have received so far, Emperor William III is very diligent and does not have any bad habits. Although he was young, he had only been emperor for two years. However, he had already received the recognition and support of the entire Germanic Empire. If Mary married him, she would definitely be happy.
As the crown prince of the Austro-Hun Empire, if our two countries marry, this will undoubtedly further deepen the alliance between our two countries.”
said Archduke Ferdinand.
