But before dinner,|I need to show you a thing.

So, colonel, this way...

do you want to speak|with the Empress?

- I think it is not right, what about you?|- Please, I'm here to work.

Do you think I am here|for pleasure?

Colonel, so far, you have been|a rude military...

but here, in the Court, where|the good manners prevail...

and you should learn them. You will ask|for one audience with the Empress...

to speak with Her Majesty!

And if she wants to. Or else|you should wait till Her Majesty...

Get up.|Get up.

Turn yourself...

Your face is not|strange for me!

We already saw each other before,|Highness! In Ischl...

I had the pleasure...|the honor...

Yes, I remember!

You were the idiot that told|the greatest imbecilities!

Me?

Mr. Master of ceremonies,|tell the Colonel...

that he should not do|questions here in the Court.

Of course, Your Highness!

- And you are stepping in my dress.|- Sorry, Your Highness!

So the Royal Highness|doesn't keep any bitterness!

Neither me for her!

Here in the Court you should not|criticize noble people.

It was not a criticize,|it was an affirmation.

In the Court you should not|even to affirm...

or neither do anything.

For what I see,|the things will be difficult.

Where were we?

- There.|- No...

- What were we talking about?|- About good manners!

Well, first you should ask for an|audience with the Empress...

Second, you should wait for the|authorization of the Empress...

for the audience.

And third, you should wait to know|when the audience with the...

Empress...

- Calm down, it won't happen again.|- No, no, it is the Empress.

I'm glad to know that the Emperor|made my wish to have you here.

I would like to say that...

Yes?

I...

So?|What would you like to say?

I forgot.

I know, I want that|Your Majesty knows...

that I will be your most|faithful servant...

That impresses me!

- For God sake!|- What happened, Colonel?

Hurry up, a glass of water!

- Are you all right?|- That smile! The smile.

What smile?

- The smile!|- My smile?

Yes... No!

The Empress' smile!

My kitty, did you|wake up in a bad mood?

First of all, I am not|your kitty...

and second, I feel excellent!

- What did you say?|- I feel excellent!

Good!|Good morning, Countess.

I want to know if the Empress|have already studied the ceremonial.

Not yet, Your Highness!|She went to ride.

I already knew it! The horses are|more important than everything!

If you want to know, for me|they are too!

Now I am going|for a walk.

- Good-bye, Sofia.|- See you!

- What is going on?|- Oh, Jesus!

- Good morning, my dear father in law!|- Good morning, Your Majesty!

I knew you were here|and I came to see you.

I am glad!|What is up?

Fine! But you don't need|to speak so loud...

- I can hear very well!|- Since when?

Well, I always heard well. But I only|hear what I want to hear.

If it is something that I don't|want, I turn to a deaf.

And then people have to|ask several times...

and then they give up and|I save an answer!

Ouch, you are original!

But Majesty, keep this|between us.

- I promise you!|- Great.

- See you!|- See you, Your Majesty!

What are you telling me?

Did the Empress go shopping?

Yes, the Empress|have been to street market!

- Who told you that?|- The coachman.

He said that she badly|could leave the coach...

and the crowd almost tore|her dress.

Inadmissible!

Are you already ready?

I am curious to know|what you have to show me.

Well... Do you know that we have|a new parrot?

- The red one?|- Yes.

- Who gave it?|- Aunt Maria!

I want to know also...

- if you know what day is it today.|- Today? Thursday.

Well, you must have forgot, after all|you have a lot of work to do.

- It's a month that we got married!|- Really?

- One month?|- Yes.

A wedding present,|I hope you like it.

What nice of you!|I am glad you remembered it.

I found it in a|stand in the street market.

Have you been in the street market?

And I almost don't get back home.

The people are so nice. They were so happy|seeing me that they almost tore my dress.

See! It is a Wigand paintings!

The castle door,|the village entrance.

- Fabulous!|- Everything is so well done.

Like the trees, he painted|them so beautifully.

And what is that?

It is the Weil village,|in Baden.

And the one what is that?

My wedding present!

So, you didn't forget it?

I could never forget...

the way you make me happy|each minute!

I am very happy too!

Well...

I will come to take this later.

But, what is that?

A beer of Munich...

and a pig foot!

This is my|surprise, mother.

You are so special, Franz!

I miss that.

Do you want a little beer?

No, I prefer liqueur!

- What about you, my dear father in law?|- What?

- Do you want some beer?|- Of course!

- Franz?|- I'm going to give it a try.

- Your Eminence too?|- My pleasure, Majesty.

Here it is, the majority|wants beer!

I am curious|to know its taste!

Excellent!|The pig foot is great...

- Cheers!|- Cheers!

Cheers!

It is good!

Not bad!

Franz Karl!

Bravo!

I hope, Franz, this is|the unique surprise...

and that you don't turn|our Viennese Court...

into a brewery!

Of course not, mom!

A letter from Sissy.

- What did she write?|- I don't know.

I still didn't read it,|wait...

"Dear mom and dad...

after a long time, I drank beer and|I ate pig foot! It was wonderful!"

- That I believe!|- "I immediately thought about dad...

my missing raises|each day!

Here I have everything, but|at the same time, anything".

As she had said, she is arrested|in a gold cage!

Was it a luck?

The important thing is that|she loves Franz!

And he loves her!|She says...

"Franz turns any wish I have,|he carries me in his arms".

Don't drink so much!

You never carry me and|you are always complaining.

I think everything is about the destiny.|Mine is to drink beer.

Our Sissy destiny is|to become the Empress.

But anything happens|for nothing...

probably she has a|mission to accomplish!

What is the|next audience?

Count Andrassy!

Get him in.

- Count Julius Andrassy!|- Count Andrassy!

I am glad to receive you.

Get close.

Majesty...

my goal after|been amnestied...

was to come before Your Majesty...

to thank what Your Majesty|have done for Hungary.

Get up, Count Andrassy.

Who gave you the amnesty was the|Emperor. You must thank him.

It is not about the amnesty|that I am talking.

It is not it that brings the happiness|and the life to the ruined families.

I'm talking about a heart that|beats for a nation.

And I want to thank|this love.

I will do everything I can|to make Hungary and Austria very close.

And give the country back|to those that have the right.

But these can be|only empty words.

To prove my|good will...

I want to invite you with the|Hungarian cortege to the ball.

We will celebrate|with our hearts...

the union between|our countries.

- I am outraged!|- What did you say?

- I am outraged!|- Why?

That Elisabeth has|invited our enemy...
