- Did you like it?|- It was great!

So many kids, one more|beautiful than the other one!

- Well, well, well!|- That's right!

But anyone was so|beautiful like ours!

Of course!|How was the place?

Clean and beautiful. It could be a|a little more pleasant!

A little dark,|the place needs sun.

- I will do what is necessary for it!|- What about seeing our treasure?

Lets go.

Without noise, maybe she|is sleeping!

What happened?|Where is the cradle?

What is going on?

I didn't know that mom was|going to make the change today...

I was going to tell you tonight.|Mom decided to take care of the...

education and formation of our|daughter. And to have her in a...

bedroom next to her.

And how can she decide|a thing like that?

I can take care of my daughter!|I learned with my mom!

- She raised eight children!|- She didn't want to offend you...

and I was wrong not telling you|before, but with all those...

receptions and trips, you won't have time|to take care of her.

I will always have time for her!|I don't want anybody to take her from me.

- Nobody will do that!|- No? She already did it!

- Where are you going?|- To take my daughter!

- Where is my daughter?|- In her bedroom. The next door.

You cannot come in,|she is already sleeping.

I want that my daughter's bedroom|to be changed again...

where it was before.

I already told you, you cannot come in.|She is sleeping.

I won't wake up her.|Get out.

She is under my custody.

- But I am the mother!|- You are still a child...

and you should relegate|her education to me.

I will never let another person|to raise my daughter!

I will educate my daughter|my way.

For the last time,|let me go.

Be reasonable.|Mom just wants the best.

So are you on your mother's side?|Against me?

I am seeing the things|from a neutral side.

Are you against me|to educate the child?

I already explained to you|the reasons.

So I already know|what I should do.

Sissy, wait!

- Colonel.|- Yes, Majesty.

I'm going to travel. Only you and the|Countess Bellegard will go with me.

To your orders,|Majesty!

- What is going on?|- Your Highness, I am shocked.

The Empress left.

- To where?|- We don't know.

- Did she say goodbye to the Emperor?|- No, Royal Highness.

Should I inform the Emperor|about what happened?

No, I will inform him myself.

I think we didn't|acted right.

We should have leave the|little baby with Sissy.

With a human being that|abandons us?

She seems a disqualified|bourgeois wife.

I let you know the risks|of this marriage.

I ask you to stop with|these observations.

Now are you against me too?

It seems that you|have forgot that...

since I married to Sissy,|I am happy.

- Hurry up, a telegram.|- Did you come to Ischl?

Yes, but only very fast.|Is there anybody here?

- There is nobody.|- Who is inside three?

Nobody.

Every time you come here,|you make a mess!

Mess? I am here|on a state business.

How can we telegraph|to an Emperor?

To who?

Don't make so many|questions. Telegraph...

"To Your Majesty,|Emperor of Austria. Sir..."

No, no...|stop it! Stop it!

"To the office of the Emperor of|Austria". This way is good.

- You can telegraph.|- You drive me crazy!

Well...

"This has the intention|to inform Your Majesty"...

No, no! It's terrible.|Stop, cut it.

Come on, telegraph once since for all.

What do you want|me to telegraph?

The Empress is|on the way to..."

"Possenhofen".

Not so loud!

My Sissy!

I am so happy!

It is a pleasure|to have you here.

Come, hurry up,|the Empress.

But tell me, why|didn't you bring the baby?

Well, it is a very long trip.

I see. And Franz,|why didn't he come?

He had a lot of work.|I almost don't see him.

But I am happy to be here.|I feel full of life.

- Where is Papa?|- He went to the forest with the children.

I can't believe|you are here.

Let's go in and|make yourself comfortable.

Seppl, look who is here.

It's good to be here.|And Nene, where is she?

With aunt Maria, in Potsdam.

I can sleep in her bedroom?

- Sleep in yours.|- Do I still have my bedroom?

Well, anything has changed|in here. Come on.

It was like this that I imagined|the Empress's castle would be.

You are right, everything|is the same.

- We even have flowers.|- I always leave them there.

There it is, the last|book I read.

I still remember it very well...

- And here are your clothes.|- My dress!

Even the same mess|is still here.

You know, my treasure, I left the|things the way they were...

because when I come into you bedroom,|what I do everyday...

I have the feeling that|you are still with us.

You have no idea how it's good|to feel that somebody loves me.

But, Sissy, everybody loves you, and|the most important is Franz!

Doesn't he carry you|on his arms?

Yes, he satisfies all|my wishes.

Are you living well with the Aunt Sofia?|I asked her to be nice with you.

- We are understanding each other.|- Thank God!

It makes me happy.

It would be terrible for me|if it was different.

Now put on your dress...

I want to see you like you were before|being an Empress.

The suitcases are already|in your bedroom.

Blow it, so they will|that we are hungry!

It's Max and the children.

Her father!

I think I heard your father's voice.|But where is he? There he is!

- Dad!|- Sissy!

- Slow down.|- Where is the Emperor?

- And what about our niece?|- Did you bring her with you?

- What a nice surprise.|- I'm glad because you are here.

She is with us again!

Did you see how the dress|fit her yet?

She doesn't look|the Empress of Austria...

she looks my little Sissy!

Come with, I will show|you something.

Why didn't Sissy|bring our niece?

I want to meet her.

She is very small,|she can't even can walk.

I would carry her.

Yes, but before you needs|to have a good soup. Come on!

All my little birds.

But I free them|before I go to Vienna.

They came back.|Here they feel good.

- Who feeds them?|- Me, of course.

Do you think I would let|anybody else to do that?

Do you know who came back too?|Your deer.

Xavier?

But you weren't here|and he ran away again.

What is wrong, Sissy?

You are so different.

It is just your imagination.

I know what you missed...

the mountains,|the forest, isn't it?

Maybe...

So it was good to come.

Do you want to come with me|go the hunt field?

We have eight partridges. But|don't sneeze when I shoot.

Like you did with Franz.

Did he tell you that?

Yes, then he didn't see|the prey anymore.

- I swear I won't do anything.|- That's Ok.

I knew it,|she went to Possenhofen!

She will come back soon.

No, I know her.|I will have to take her back.

You should not leave in a|such critical moment...

with so many important|decisions to make!

Nothing is more important|than Sissy!

I'm going to take her and|to give her a scolding.

- Do you know how to catch a partridge?|- Of course.

get stopped like a statue...

And close your eyes|for not scaring it.
