On the first night after returning to Vienna, Harna did not wait for Ladislaus. Her cousin slept alone after seeing off the exiled king and his wife of Denmark.

But Harna was not worried. She knew that Ladislaus just needed some time to express his condolences to his deceased wife. She was sure that she would obtain the status of actual hostess for a long time.

Ladislaus's mourning would also prevent him from remarrying any time soon, which would actually be a good thing for Harna.

During the period before Ladislaus remarried, she would purge the Spanish maids and spread her minions in every corner of the Vienna Palace.

Obviously, the longer this time is, the more thorough her cleaning operation will be and the more minions she will have.

"Are you really planning to marry an Austrian wife? Isn't it strange for a diplomat to marry a local woman in his country?" Harna was having dinner with her brother Benso.

Although they all wore black veils in a gregarious manner, it was really difficult to make the siblings sad.

"I'm not really a diplomat, I'm just a failed exile. There's no chance at all for this position. I plan to ask my father to remove me as a diplomat and completely transfer me to the Austrian system." Benso said about diplomacy without power.

Having had enough of his official career, he saw that Ladislaus had acquired a large territory, and he realized that he could get a piece of the pie. "After all, I am now a cousin of His Majesty the King of the United Kingdom, right?"

"Oh, if you have this idea, then of course you want to marry a local. Don't worry, my sister will help you arrange it. By the way, it won't be a problem to ask your eldest cousin, His Majesty, to arrange a good place for you." Harna

Naturally, he wants to help his younger brother. "But the marriage cannot be rushed. I have to look around a few more times. It is best to find a daughter from a member of the State Council. There is an errand that is suitable for you."

"It's better to give me a new Hungarian province and let me be the governor. It doesn't matter how desolate the border is!" Nepotism is good, it is good.

"Go ahead and dream. You should have noticed his habits. No matter how young you are, you must have served as a lower-level administrator before you can become a provincial governor. It would be nice to get a mayor for you. After three years as mayor,

You can become the governor." In fact, Harna's schedule is bold enough. "But for the time being, you will go to Buda to be in charge of relocation.

When it comes to moving the cemetery, Ladislaus wants to move his parents to the cemetery in Buda. He has no other skills. Wouldn't it be a good idea for you to be responsible for moving the cemetery of your aunt and uncle? It is now in the Hohenzollern in Buda*

The official cannot stay there for a long time. Until then, I will give you a little strength and make you the mayor of Buda."

"The mayor of the provincial capital is the most clueless!" Benso had little interest in this kind of position. Benso, who had suffered a lot of depression and frustration, no longer had the combativeness and sensitivity he had when fighting for power with Ladislaus and his brothers.

Now, he wants a more stable and comfortable position of power.

"What do you know?! Buda is now the most important political town after Vienna. If I put you in, His Majesty will probably choose a Hungarian as governor to maintain balance. What are you afraid of a Hungarian?

?If you are promoted to the governor of Buda in three to five years, with me here, it is not impossible to enter the State Council within ten years! By then, we brothers and sisters will be mutually exclusive, even if another Habsburg comes.

We are not afraid of the princess anymore!" This is Harna's ultimate goal.

‘Sister, you don’t have a son, it’s not too late to worry about it if you have one.’ Of course Bensuo could only hide this inappropriate sentence in his heart.

"I know, sister, but I think things may not be that smooth. Szaboray is nothing. Poland seems to have internal problems, but the Ottoman Empire may not make a comeback. My father commented on the retreat of the Ottoman Corps.

The actions were orderly beyond imagination, and the enemy who can retreat like this is one of the few enemies in history." Although Bensuo didn't know how to fight, he knew who to ask for advice.

And he is a bit self-taught in propaganda work. "If 50,000 enemies are really wiped out, with the character of the big cousin, I think he will definitely go to Belgrade. Only by taking that important town, Hungary

Only then did we have a gate to our territory. Why can’t even Osijek be taken over now? I don’t think Kiji

Basically, the Propaganda Department is exaggerating the victory. Moreover, the people from the Suni Church captured the militia weapons depot a few days ago must have frightened Machiavelli and the others. These members of the State Council have been highly nervous recently, and they may be worried about the big army.

My cousin gave too much warning, which prevented him from winning much victory."

The rebellion of Suni Church was actually not large in scale. It was just that the Archbishop of Würzburg reacted excessively after learning that he had lost his weapons arsenal, and Machiavelli did not dare to neglect so that the front line felt that the situation in the rear was tense.

"You are not afraid now. At that time, you urged me to write to him to ask him to come back. Can I write this letter?!" Bensuo was only thinking after the fact. Of course, Harna was most concerned about her brother's safety.

"You mean Buda may not be safe? That's true. I heard that the city wall was demolished when the pagans withdrew. How about I find you a big Bohemian city to be the mayor? But there are Kassus followers there.

Too much is not good for you."

"It's not urgent. You're right. Let's go and settle the matter of moving the graves of aunt and uncle first. This matter is the best way to gain points in front of His Majesty the King." After saying this, Bensuo thought of something again.

"The Habsburg mother and daughter are also here. You should be careful lately."

"I still need you to teach me this. Didn't you see that I didn't even occupy Katherina's room, and those Spanish palace ladies also kept it? He wants to have dinner with me at noon, talk about the financial situation of the palace, and give the Danish couple every year

The 50,000 thalers begging for food made him heartbroken, and it all came from his private money. I will go to the brewery in the afternoon, and I will not come back until these distinguished guests have left." Harna told the exiled king of Denmark.

The couple's vocabulary is quite uneducated.

There's nothing she can do about it. Harna feels it's not worth spending her hard-earned money like this.

Ladislaus could not use public funds to finance the Danish king, but had to use the income from his own private lands and industries.

"Let's go now? Isn't His Majesty the King alone now? Wouldn't it be troublesome if the woman who dug the sewers was favored?" Benso's attitude towards the municipal engineering staff is very problematic. Mrs. Reinhardt will go crazy when she hears this statement.

"At least not for ten days and a half, he will definitely fast, bathe, and not be around women for a period of time." Harna was very confident about Ladislaus's character.

"His Majesty the King is coming soon? I'll leave first. Don't forget to mention my business." Bensuo saw Harna take out the palace account book and stood up to leave.

"One more thing, you are not allowed to go to that colorful rose house! Please be more honest with me these days." Harna warned again before leaving. Her brother had a bad reputation in this area, Andre Dolly.

Most of the money that Ya provided for him to do business in Austria was thrown into the gold-selling cave.

"I'm there to establish relations with the Austrian officials. Besides, my wife is not dead, so why do I have to fast and bathe instead of being sexually attracted to women?" Bensuo protested upon hearing this.

"Because your favorite cousin and respected monarch lost his wife, you have to express your condolences! And I have to find you a wife. You can get some points for staying calm for a few days. In short, you should restrain yourself these days.

A little bit, the two maids in your house are not enough for you?" Harna's words are very reasonable.

"They were sent by dad...who knows how they will write a report..." So even though Bensuo muttered a few words, he finally made a promise.

"I understand. I will stay at home until you get me a job."

"Don't worry, I will take care of the search, but the marriage will have to wait until Katherina's 100 days have passed." Before leaving, Harna gave one more instruction.

.............................

Benso had already left before Ladislaus arrived with the Marquise Margarita.

"Please accept my condolences. Her Majesty the Queen's death was..." Harna tried her best to squeeze out a few tears, but she

As soon as she started talking, Ladislaus waved her hand to stop.

"If other people say this, I can only listen to it. Just stop saying it. Just talk about business." He has heard enough false lies these days.

It's not that he doesn't mourn his wife, on the contrary, it's precisely because he regrets Katharina's death that he can't listen to such words.

When Mary and Juana mentioned Catharina, Ladislaus was not at all disgusted.

However, there were others, such as foreign ambassadors and senior officials of their own country. Ladislaus had no choice but to do so out of courtesy, and he really didn't want to listen to Harna's words.

Harna knew her cousin's character very well, so she skipped those words: "The current financial situation of your private brewery is very bad."

An hour ago, Machiavelli said exactly the same thing, but changed "your private brewery" to "the United Kingdom."

"The markets of Hungary and Bohemia have always been the most important export markets. Both of these places have now lost more than 70% of their consumption power. Exports to Italy and the Maghreb region through the Port of Venice have also lost

It has dropped sharply due to the civil war in Venice. The Drow city-state in the middle of the Black Continent has also stopped asking for goods. I can only work hard to expand exports to the German region and Poland. However, the current situation is not optimistic. Next year's income will be reduced by at least 7%.

Ten thousand to one hundred thousand thalers." Harna's business was in great difficulty because of the war.

"The brewery is the most important part of your private income. I can't make up for this huge gap. In order to start the palace next year, you have to set aside a sufficient area of ​​royal territory along the Danube River." Margarita immediately continued.
