For Karl to be able to say such words, it was already a great compromise in his opinion, and after hearing Karl's words, the atmosphere inside the palace became much better.
Then several Habsburg nobles had dinner together in the palace.
.............................
Although the murderer was deeply hidden, Hornde still found clues. The weapons abandoned by the murderer can be said to be quite advanced, and it is obvious that this weapon is a standard weapon. The reason why it can be seen that it is a standard weapon is
Because only standard weapons have serial numbers engraved on their bodies, and these abandoned weapons were all of the same model, and the serial numbers on their guns were obviously scratched deliberately.
Although Cologne does not restrict the entry of firearms, the Cologne guards at the city gate will check and record the weapons carried by pedestrians every time. Now there are as many as five of these scratched and numbered weapons, and only
Only the army has so many weapons of the same standard, and those small weapon workshops simply cannot produce weapons of such uniform standards.
Therefore, Hornde decided to target the army generals in Cologne, and the Imperial Third Division outside the city was obviously also a focus.
Just when Hornde was about to apply to Maximilian to investigate General Cologne, William, who was lying in bed, woke up again.
When he woke up this time, William's expression was obviously much better than last time. After waking up again, William saw Carlo immediately.
"Carlo, I made you worry this time. Although I was still in a coma before, I can feel that you are always by my side. Thank you for your hard work!"
The pale William smiled and said his thanks to Carlo, but when he heard the words of gratitude from William's mouth, Carlo didn't even dare to scream, and then William asked Carlo:
"How is Princess Vivian's situation?"
"Your Majesty, because Princess Vivian was not the main target of the murderers, Her Royal Highness the Princess's injuries were not very serious. Her Royal Highness the Princess was able to get up and move occasionally three days ago!"
After hearing that Vivian was fine, William felt relieved.
William's feelings for Vivian are completely different from his feelings for his other four women. Although Vivian is a sweetheart, Lilissa is even more sweet than Vivian. What William likes
It was Vivian's quiet beauty, which compared with Karina's squeamishness, Du Li's majesty, Anna's arrogance and Lilissa's softness, that fascinated William even more.
Every time he stood next to Vivian, William felt as if he had left everything behind. The irritability in his heart could immediately calm down.
"Carlo, have you reported my matter to Brandenburg?"
Suddenly William thought of something very important and looked at Carlo.
You know, at present, William does not want Brandenburg to know about his relationship with Vivian, because once Brandenburg knows about it, it will mean that Anna and other four women know about it. The consequences of this will be absolute
It is very serious. And if Carlo and others reported the news of William's assassination to Brandenburg, then Vivian would definitely be a link that could not be missed. After all, just an investigation would reveal that only Vivian was by William's side at that time.
a woman.
Furthermore, the reason why William asked Carlo had a subtext, which was whether he had told Du Li about himself and Vivian.
Prussia's foreign intelligence agency was deliberately handed over to Hans by William, and the huge influence of the Hans family in the intelligence department was also intentional by William. The reason for this was that William hoped that through the Hans family who were loyal to him, he would
The intelligence agencies are completely in their own hands and will not be biased.
As for the power of the intelligence agency, William is naturally aware of it. If Carlo reported the news of his assassination to Brandenburg, then he would definitely tell Du Li about himself and Vivian. After all, Vivian's
To some extent, existence also affected Du Li's status.
"Your Majesty the King, after discussion with Mr. Hornde, I have decided to report to Brandenburg if you do not wake up. However, after you woke up last time, after the doctor's diagnosis, you no longer have any major problems, so I will wait for you."
Your Majesty, please forgive me for not reporting the situation here to Brandenburg!"
As he spoke, Carlo half-knelt down towards William. When he heard that Carlo did not report his situation to Brandenburg, William felt relieved.
Although the four women will give William a headache, don't forget that there is also the Queen Mother Louise. If Louise knows that William was seriously injured, then it is obvious that this Queen Mother has always regarded William as her darling.
He will definitely do some irrational things, and this is exactly what William does not want to see.
No son wants his mother at home to feel worried about his situation. This is human nature!
"Carlo, you did a great job. Not only do I not blame you, but on the contrary, I want to thank you!"
With that said, William asked Carlo in a low voice:
"Then have you told Du Li what's going on here?"
Hearing William mention Du Li, Carlo naturally knew what William was worried about.
Although Du Li seemed a little careless when she was young, the 18th female transformation is not just an empty talk, but sometimes not only the face, but also the thoughts in the heart change greatly.
Just like Du Li, after William married Anna, Du Li not only helped her father Hans manage the work of the Intelligence Department, but also developed the Hans family's industry in Prussia, even just using
In two or three years, Du Li won the title of "strong woman" among the Prussian senior officials.
And this strong not only refers to Du Li's strong ability, but also refers to Du Li's strong character!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, what happened here has not spread. After you were assassinated, the entire Cologne was sealed off. Because you were in a remote location at the time, not many people in Cologne knew about your assassination.
Subsequently, our search for the murderer was also conducted under the pretext of the assassination of Princess Vivian!"
After hearing what Carlo said, William finally felt relieved.
Although the excuse made by Carlo and others is quite crude, after all, if Vivian is the only one who is assassinated, then what is the action of the Prussian army that is currently conducting a carpet search throughout the entire city of Cologne? Could it be that it is because William cares about Vivian?
Therefore, he did not hesitate to send his own troops to catch the murderer, and later did not attend the founding ceremony of the Empire's Third Division as previously agreed!
But having an excuse is better than having no excuse. Although this excuse is a bit crude, as long as William shows his face after he recovers, then no matter what the previous discussions were, they will definitely disappear gradually. But in this way, William
It was inevitable that the soldiers of the newly established Imperial Third Division would have the image of "loving country more than beauty" in their hearts.
While William and Carlo were talking, the door to William's room was also opened, and Princess Vivian walked into William's room with the support of a maid.
After seeing Vivian walking in, Carlo quickly said to William:
"Your Majesty, since Princess Vivian was able to go to the ground to move around, she has come to check on you every day. I even secretly saw Her Royal Highness wiping her tears silently once!"
Having said this, Carlo said no more, and after Princess Vivian sat down on the chair next to William's bed, Carlo quickly asked the maid who had supported Princess Vivian to leave the room so that William and Vivian could
Leave space between the two of you.
Carlo turned around and walked to the door and said:
"Your Majesty, I'm right outside the door. If you need to call me for something, please pull the rope beside your bed and I will know!"
After saying that, Carlo left the room without looking back, and he even closed the door.
When only William and Vivian were left in the room, Vivian said with a slightly red face:
"Your Majesty, you finally woke up! It seems that you are indeed a person blessed by God!"
Hearing what Vivian said, William stretched his hand out of the bed and towards Vivian's little hand. Seeing William's actions, Vivian immediately reached out and grabbed William's hand.
Seeing Vivian's actions, the smile on William's face became even brighter.
"Vivian, I've heard Carlo say, thank you for coming to see me these days!"
"Your Majesty, this is what I should do!"
Hearing Vivian's name to him, William frowned and pretended to be displeased and said:
"Vivian, do you want me to call you Princess? How many times have I told you, don't call me Your Majesty next time, just call me William. Otherwise, if you are punished, do you want to cry out?
oh!"
Listening to William's teasing words, Vivian smiled quietly and said:
"Okay, next time I will call you William, but don't tell my father, or he will blame me!"
Hearing Vivian's agreement, William's smile returned to his face again.
"I'm really sorry that I've caused you trouble this time. Let's do this. If you want anything, tell me and I'll make it up to you!"
William's promise is quite valuable. William is currently the monarch of the most powerful country on the European continent. He will definitely not go back on the promise he made. Even if Vivian says that she wants a principality, William may still do it for her.
Present the Grand Duchess's crown!
"William, I don't want any compensation, as long as you can be healthy and healthy by my side, then I will be very satisfied!"
After hearing Vivian say this, it is obviously unrealistic to say that William was not moved.
William lifted up the velvet quilt with his other hand and tried to get up. Seeing William's actions, Vivian stood up with some difficulty and then sat on the edge of William's bed, close to William.
