After reading the information, Franz had to admit that Frederick was really unlucky. There are so few people who suit him, and there is not much choice at all.

In the current international situation, the most suitable marriage with the Habsburgs is still the Russian royal family, but unfortunately there are no princesses of the right age.

Alexander II's daughter has already been married, and Alexander III's daughter has not yet been weaned, and it is unknown whether she can support her, and Frederick naturally cannot wait that long.

There were no princesses in the French royal family, and of course this had no effect, and the Bonaparte family was not in Franz's consideration in the first place.

As a stronghold of conservatives, the Austrian people simply could not accept a nouveau riche prospective empress, or the Austrian aristocracy could not accept a woman of insufficient noble blood to become the wife of the crown prince.

The late arrival of the Bonaparte family, coupled with the fact that Napoleon I offended too many people, and Napoleon III, who was elected emperor, challenged the traditional system of blood succession.

In the eyes of the orthodox aristocracy, this is a misrepresentation. As a result, the Bonapartes were ostracized by the European aristocracy, and even though the French Empire was in full swing, they were still not accepted by the mainstream circles.

The Habsburgs, who had a vested interest in the system of blood succession, naturally opposed the heresy of the Bonapartes.

Empress Helen asked, "Franz, which of these do you think is the most suitable for Frederick?" ”

Franz: "Let's use the method of elimination, regardless of Queen Victoria's granddaughters and their descendants. ”

No way, hemophilia can't be provoked. The decline of European kingship in the original time and space was not only due to world wars, but also because of hemophilia.

In this respect, Queen Victoria made an outstanding contribution to the cause of the European republic. If it weren't for hemophilia and the destruction of the royal heirs, the royal power would not have declined so quickly.

Queen Helen asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

Franz patiently explained: "Royal illness, have you heard? ”

Queen Helen nodded: "I've heard that it is said that the royal curse is very terrifying. ”

Franz shook his head: "This is not a curse, I have sent someone to carefully study the onset of the royal disease."

Interestingly, all of them were men, and they were all descendants of Queen Victoria, her daughter, and her granddaughter.

According to experts, royal disease is a maternal genetic disease. The virus is carried by women and breaks out in men.

According to the statistical data, the incidence of royal disease is very high. For the sake of Frederick's descendants, we are still a little better. ”

Queen Helen asked incredulously, "How is this possible?" Could it be the ...... of the British?"

Franz: "No, it shouldn't be artificial. With the medical technology of the British, there is simply no way to control the spread of the virus.

Besides, what's in it for them? If all the royal families of Europe really suffered, wouldn't they be afraid of a co-monarch who would unite the continent? ”

European royal families are one family, and this is no joke. Marriages between royal families are intricate, and it is basic to have the right to inherit multiple national thrones.

The Habsburgs are a ready-made example, and if there were a mass extinction of European royal families, perhaps Franz would pick up a few more crowns.

From the point of view of conspiracy theories, whoever benefits is the culprit, and Franz feels that he is more suspicious than the British.

Looking at the panicked Empress Helen, Franz soothed: "Okay, Helen. Don't be surprised, isn't it a royal illness, just avoid it, it's not so scary. ”

After half a ring, Queen Helen recovered: "Does the British royal family know about these news?" ”

Franz shook his head: "I don't know. However, even if they knew about this kind of thing, I am afraid that no one would talk about it.

Okay, don't worry about that. As long as it doesn't affect us, let them go! If we really poke the news out, we will form a mortal enmity with the British royal family. ”

Queen Helen nodded, she knew the stakes of the matter. If the lid is lifted, I am afraid that it will not only be the British royal family that will be offended, but even several royal families of hemophilia victims will also hate them for not reminding them earlier, this is human nature.

Under the pressure of the "royal disease", the number of candidates was reduced by a quarter in an instant, and it has to be said that the European grandmother is powerful.

Franz: "I'm more familiar with this aspect of the next game that is not suitable for politics, so I'll do it!" ”

Politics is the most important factor in the marriage of the royal family, and if this aspect is not done well, it will not be a help, but a trouble.

For example, the Bourbon family and the Orleans family have princesses of appropriate age, and Frederick cannot marry if they are the right Yemeni households.

If the heir of the Habsburg dynasty marries the former French royal family, it is estimated that Napoleon IV will go crazy, which is already threatening his rule.

Franz was not prepared to restore the former French royal family, so why bother?

After the political factors were considered, it was the turn of identity. These materials were prepared not only for Frederick, but also for his three younger brothers.

Without Franz opening her mouth, Empress Helen divided the rest into two categories according to their status. Frederick was the crown prince, and his wife had to be the right person, so the choice was very small.

When Franz married Empress Helen, he had just annexed the Kingdom of Bavaria, and in order not to make the food too ugly, he appeased the Bavarian royal family.

This reassurance was also made for the domestic princes and the Bavarian people to reassure.

The marriage proved to be a success. Everyone was soon relieved, the Bavarian royal family was relieved to boldly run the Kingdom of Lombardy, and the people of Bavaria accepted the fact of the change of monarch.

The current situation is obviously different, several states in the country are very peaceful, and Franz is not preparing a monarch to transfer the title, so naturally there is no need to let Frederick marry a side princess to appease.

If it is a princess of the lineage, it is almost the same, and the distant branch is not only inferior in status, but more importantly, the political bonus is too low and has no meaning.

So when you do that, there's not much left. Among them, the British royal family accounts for half, and the three daughters of Crown Prince Edward are all within the range of options.

They are Princess Louise the Great, born in 1867, Princess Victoria, born in 1868, and Princess Maud, born in 1869.

(Note: Hemophilia carriers are maternal genetic diseases)

Looking at the information, Franz had to admire that the efficiency of having one child a year is really unattainable by ordinary people.

Except for being a little younger, everything else meets the requirements. Politically, Britain and Austria are in their honeymoon period, and despite the fact that they have stabbed each other, they are still allies.

Princess Sophie Marie Victoria of the Baden royal family is also good, born in 1862 and is now 15 years old.

Not only was it age-appropriate, but it was also politically suitable, which helped to increase Austria's influence in the German Federal Empire.

It is almost certain that Frederick's wife would have arisen between Princess Sophie Marie Victoria of Baden and Princess Louise of England.

Of course, there are several candidates, for example: the group of daughters of the father-in-law of Europe, Nicholas I. It's just that the influence of the Principality of Montenegro is too small and has no marriage value.

Empress Helen: "There are only two left, who does Franz think is more suitable?" ”
