Chapter 81: Unintentionally Planting Willows, Willows Grew to Provide Shade

Vienna Palace, since the news of the fall of Mexico City was received, Franz's troubles began.

Even though Maximilian I was unpopular within the Habsburg Family, this did not include Empress Sophie and Archduke Carl.

Maximilian was not a good emperor, but still a good son. He had behaved very well in Vienna and was dearly loved by Empress Sophie and Archduke Carl.

Upon hearing that Mexico was in trouble, they came to inquire about the news. Although Franz repeatedly assured them that Maximilian was safe and staying at the Austrian Embassy, they remained concerned.

Now, Empress Sophie personally reviewed every telegram involving the Austria Central America region and even sent telegrams to Governor Hummel in her own name.

This annoyed Franz considerably, but there was a reason for everything, and he couldn't really complain. The deep love of parents for their child could lead to some extraordinary actions.
