"Interesting, it's really interesting!" Prince Liutpod pinched his beard and sat on the chair with a smile.
"Xiao Letian is currently having an affair with Princess Sissi, while our young king is entertaining guests from his ideal kingdom... I wonder who will have the honor to dine with the king today?"
"Last time the king seemed to have a meal with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci. Who will it be this time? Shakespeare? Hahaha... Poor nephew, I didn't expect you to be able to play by yourself. Be so happy!”
In front of Prince Liutpod stood a young man, his son and the future King of Bavaria in history, Ludwig III!
"Alfred, my dear son, what do you think of this matter?" Prince Liutpod asked.
"Dear father, the key to the problem now is to see where the French emissary has gone. If the water in Bavaria is to be muddied, the participation of the French is indispensable!"
"Since my brother has gone crazy, why don't we cleverly use this opportunity to put on a big show..."
"Interesting, really interesting... Send a telegram back to the mountain and tell the captain of the guard that what happened at today's dinner no longer needs to be kept secret, and ask him to convey it to Princess Sissi through some channels!"
"I must let Xiao Letian know if there is anything wrong with this young king's mind!"
A pair of conspirators and a son in Bavaria made a quick decision. In a short time, the telegram from Munich returned to Hohenschwangau. At this moment, Ludwig II's banquet was far from over. The king was in high spirits at the moment, and the wine had just arrived. After drinking two bottles, it’s not even time to go to bed.
The captain of the guard looked at the latest order sent by Prince Liutpod, sighed in his heart, then crushed the note into pieces and stuffed it into his mouth.
Then he said to his confidants, "Prepare my war horses. I will go down the mountain and return to Munich tonight. If the king asks me tomorrow morning, tell me that my wife at home is seriously ill!"
Ludwig II had no idea that his captain of the bodyguard had actually been bribed by Prince Liuterbot! At 9 o'clock in the evening, the captain of the guard quietly left Hohenschwangau Castle and ran down the mountain on one of the strongest horses.
To go back and forth from Hohenschwangau to Munich, it is not possible to rely on horses alone. You must change trains in the middle. When Prince Liutpod accompanied Xiao Letian to and from Munich and Hohenschwangau, there was a Bavarian special train specially for the head of state. Provide services.
The captain of the guard definitely did not get the treatment of a special train. He had to wait step by step for the train to leave on time. By the time he arrived in Munich, it was already five o'clock in the morning the next morning.
After knocking on the door of Princess Sissi's villa, a moment later the maid's wary eyes appeared inside. She turned out to be the captain of the guard from the Swan Castle! The maid did not dare to neglect and immediately informed Princess Sissi.
At this time, Princess Sissi and Xiao Letian, a couple who had just spent a night of passionate lovemaking, were sleeping together.
After hearing the maid's report, Xiao Letian was the first to wake up, "You should meet him. If he comes to see you at this time, it means that he has been driving all night. He must have important news to report to you!" "
Princess Sissi was completely sleepless at the moment. With the help of the maid, she quickly changed into clothes, simply put on light makeup, and went to the living room on the first floor to meet the familiar captain of the guard.
When the princess saw him, she saw that the captain of the guard was devouring breakfast. It seemed that he was exhausted from the night's hard work.
"See the queen!" The captain of the guard quickly put down his knife and fork, stood up and saluted Princess Sissi respectfully!
"Okay, no need to salute! What's the important thing for you to come to see me?"
The captain's expression was extremely hesitant. He seemed to be making a huge decision. Finally, he gritted his teeth and sighed and said, "Dear Your Majesty the Queen, I shouldn't have said this. If the king knew that I said these words, he would probably kill me." Put him in jail!"
"But as the king's most loyal subordinate, I can't just watch the king go astray and turn a blind eye. At this moment, the only one in the Kingdom of Bavaria who can persuade the king is you. I hope you can lend a helping hand!"
"The king received a group of mysterious guests last night. Do you know who those guests are?"
"God, it's unbelievable! The king met with Odysseus, Prometheus, the Sun King Louis XIV, and even Homer, the author of Homer's epic poem, was invited..."
Princess Sissi was stunned after hearing this: "Speak slower, I didn't understand. Who is he having a banquet with? Are these people you are talking about real people? Or are they really those who died in history?" Where are the people?”
"Dear queen, even those who died in history, as well as imaginary characters, and characters from myths and legends are also here!"
"Let me tell you clearly! The king is having a banquet with imaginary guests. He has locked himself in an independently renovated restaurant. The upper and lower floors are connected, and the table moves up and down with a mechanical transmission!"
"After the chef prepared a table of wine and food on the first floor, it was sent to the second floor through a transmission device. Then the king was there alone without anyone, chatting and partying with the imaginary guests, partying all night long. !”
"This is a top secret in the palace. According to the rules, I can't tell it, but if I don't tell it, my conscience will really hurt me! Besides, I really can't find anyone to talk to. I didn't see you until you came back this time. A little bit of hope..."
"I wanted to tell you this secret yesterday, but I backed down temporarily. It wasn't until the king locked himself in the restaurant last night again that I made up my mind to come down the mountain to see you!"
Princess Sissi turned pale when she heard this. She never thought that her cousin would become like this!
"Thank you very much, thank you very much! Thank you for being honest with me! You can rest assured that I will keep this matter a secret for you. Can you tell me how long this situation has been going on?"
"It's been over two years, Queen!"
"In other words, it started after the Austro-Prussian War?"
"Yes, it started from that time!"
The princess frowned and thought for a while, then asked, "Besides, is there any other important news?"
The chief guard's facial expression became strange. He hesitated after thinking for a long time, and finally said in a low voice, "There is another confidential matter that I think the queen should know about..."
"Yesterday, the French side sent a secret telegram to His Majesty. The French envoy is heading to Hohenschwangau Castle at the moment. He will probably arrive today, this afternoon!"
"Thank you, thank you very much! Come here, prepare a thousand pounds for my friend as payment for this hard work. I hope you can still tell me if there is such information in the future!"
