Chapter Seventy-Four: A Secret Conversation with the Empress


After the dance, William and Catherine II looked at each other and smiled.

The empress had a trace of interest in the little guy in front of her, in the process of dancing, this little guy has been making eye contact with herself, neither humble nor arrogant, how many years has no one been able to be so calm under the majesty of her eyes, the empress thought for a while.

But before the Empress could think long, William saluted Catherine II and turned away, for William saw a little girl in the crowd pouting, and if he didn't want to be surrounded by trouble all day long, William had to appease the little girl.

The dissatisfied little girl in the crowd was Christine, at the beginning, the little girl saw William walking down the steps, thinking that William was here to invite herself, and Christine was excited for a while, but then after seeing that William invited Catherine II, the excitement turned into resentment, if it weren't for the occasion, maybe the little girl would really come forward and drag William away.

Seeing William walking towards her, although the little girl felt a lot better, she still put on that stinky face, and waited until William came over and said: "Didn't you go dancing, why did you come here, just let me stay here alone" After listening to Kristini's words, William smiled bitterly, his sister is becoming less and less face-free, of course, this also shows that his sister likes his brother.

"Was that an international etiquette just now?

Do you think, Her Majesty Catherine II, the most noble woman present, if I don't invite her to the first dance, won't it mean that I look down on her, Christine, we're not here to play, we're here to get down to business," William defended himself After listening to William's defense, although there was still a little awkwardness in her heart, Christine still pretended to forgive William generously, and claimed that in the future, as long as she was on the occasion, William must and can only invite her to dance the first dance.

In order to make this little girl happy, William pretended to be embarrassed and agreed to the little girl's request, and sure enough, after seeing William nodding in agreement, the little girl was very happy.

But before William could invite the little girl to dance, Locks approached William's side and said: "Your Majesty, just now Empress Catherine II sent someone to invite you to the talks" After listening to this, William nodded, and then said helplessly to Christine in front of him: "I still have some things to deal with, you are obedient here, I will arrange for someone to follow you, don't run around" After the instructions, William followed Duke Locks without waiting for Christine's answer.

After William left, several attendants quickly surrounded Christine, and looking at the wall of people blocking her, Christini could only stomp her feet a few times.

William led Locks to the door of a room under the guidance of the waiter, and after the waiter knocked on the door, the door was pulled open from the inside.

In the room, Catherine II and Paul were sitting quietly in chairs sipping tea, and when they saw William come in, Catherine II smiled at William, and she motioned for William to sit across from her, and William took Locks to sit opposite the Empress.

Just as William sat down, Catherine II smiled and said: "I used to have a good friendship with Frederick, and I hope that this friendship will be passed on to you and my descendants."

"Of course, there is no contradiction between Russia and Prussia, and I believe that under the leadership of the Empress, Russia and Prussia will prosper together," said Wilhelm "Your Majesty is a little dishonest, I have heard that some time ago Prussia entered into an alliance with Sweden, and this is not a sign of friendship with our country," Catherine II said unsatisfied with William's answer "I hope that Your Majesty will know that the strengthening of cooperation between our country and Sweden will not pose a threat to Russia, but on the contrary I believe that the strengthening of relations between Prussia and Sweden will make a great contribution to peace in Europe as a whole," Wilhelm emphasized I don't understand why His Majesty would say that he has contributed to peace in Europe," Catherine II said "The purpose of our alliance with Sweden is to strengthen exchanges between the countries of the Baltic region to reach understanding, and there is no way to talk about the threat to Russia, and I think Her Majesty must know that my country is carrying out a series of reform policies at home, and my experience after the Austro-Prussian War is more focused on domestic affairs, and Her Majesty can rest assured," said William "Well, even though Your Majesty talked about the Austro-Prussian War, I would like to ask Your Majesty, in the early days of the Austro-Prussian War, your country asked our country for assistance, but at the same time that our country sent troops to help your country, your country actually made peace with the Austrians alone, I don't know where Your Majesty is to our Russian army" William didn't say that it was okay, when it came to the Austro-Prussian War, Catherine II was angry.

"We believe that the Habsburgs are, after all, the hegemons who have dominated Europe for hundreds of years, and we should not force them too much, and once the Habsburgs are given the courage to fight to the death, I think our country and your country will definitely suffer heavy losses.

What's more, Queen Teresa is also a generation of heroes, and the Habsburgs' centuries-old heritage is no joke," William elaborated But Catherine II was not satisfied with William's answer "Your Majesty, you should know the truth that if you fight a snake and don't die, you will be harmed by it, and if the Habsburgs are restored, the interests of your country and our country will be greatly damaged," Catherine II said calmly "Your Majesty, the peace talks between me and Austria are for the sake of peace on the land of Europe, and we in Prussia have made great sacrifices for the peoples of Europe to return to a happy and stable life, and I hope that Russia will understand the sacrifices made by our country," said Wilhelm, as if compassionate This little liar pretended to be great, Catherine II thought to herself, but on the surface the empress still said: "We can understand the great sacrifices that Prussia has made for the peace of Europe, but we really cannot understand Prussia's partiality towards Austria after the end of the war, and there is absolutely no reason for the areas actually occupied by our country to be returned to the Austrians in this way."

Catherine II spoke of the most uneasy part of her heart, and after speaking, her pursed lips revealed the dissatisfaction and anger in her heart.
