- here for a few days.|- What? In the middle of nowhere?

Get us everything what is necessary.

And guarantee that nobody|disturb us.

- But here there is no water!|- But here there is the "red" one.

Drink a lot to tolerate|the way back.

Cheers, Majesty.

Majesty.

What? Are you crazy?|We are incognito!

- No formalities.|- Right.

- So, are you going?|- Yes.

Then good-bye!

Did you hear? Good-bye.

- Good-bye.|- Good-bye!

I am so happy to stay here,|to live like ordinary people!

I'm so happy!

And tomorrow we'll wake up very early.|It's when the weather gets more beatiful.

I know. Are you happy?

- Come here outside, it snowed!|- It snowed?

- Ouch, in the middle of the summer!|- I never saw anything like that!

- I believe you.|- Let's make a snow battle.

- The agitate of the clouds.|- It's amazing!

Magnificent.

I always wanted it was like that,|far away from the occupations of the...

Empire, of the politics! And we do not|be the emperor and the empress.

Just a simple housekeeper?

My God, I still have|so much work!

- For what is this spit?|- You do like this. It was Thomas...

who taught me, the more|you spit, the more the boots shine.

- I think we must not tell it to my mom.|- Sure! It will be our secret.

What happened in|our absence?

The news about your departure left|agitated all the population of Vienna.

- I already expected that.|- They are talking about a total...

misunderstanding between you|and the Royal Highness Sofia.

What did you do stop|these rumors?

Such rumors will only stop if|you present yourself in public...

with the two|supreme ladies.

You are right.

I think that the things|are not doing fine.

We will know it tomorrow in the reception|of the Hungarian cortege.

I swore that the Empress|would come by herself.

Shut up!

Everything was not but mean rumors|and groundless.

- Did you talk to your mother?|- Yes, but without success.

I knew that nothing|was gonna change.

She threatened to leave the castle...

if she had to abdicate|the child's education.

- And what did you say?|- I didn1 t know what to say.

So I will tell you:

she is, but I go,|and forever.

Did you forget how we were|happy these days?

No, I didn't forget, but I think|that our destiny...

it is be unhappy...|forever.

Is the suitcase already ready?

- Not yet.|- So, hurry up.

- These too?|- Yes, and the pink too.

Did you came to Vienna...

to give me a lesson?

No, Sofia.

I came to talk to you.

I came to talk from|mother to mother!

Look, Sofia,|I didn't forget about our childhood.

And nobody knows|as well as I do...

that you are human being and|it was the life and the politics...

that turned you in a cold person.

You spent your life fighting for a|goal, for a son.

You did everything did for your son to be|happy, you even refused the throne.

That's why you should not|refuse to give him the biggest thing...

a true love of a wife!

Sissy loves your Franz!

And you should be grateful for that.|Am I not right?

Ludovika...

Don't think that I don't like Sissy,|that I don't know her tastes.

And I didn't assume the child's education|to harm Sissy.

I assumed it for thinking|Sissy is still a child...

and the women of our age|can educate better.

But a son|belongs to the mother!

And an empress|belongs to the emperor!

Franz will travel for the whole Empire|and Sissy needs to follow him...

she can't stay here|taking care of a child.

But it is possible|to conciliate both of them.

Sofia, I ask you...

Be conscious and|do not make mistakes!

Sissy, you cannot do|it to me.

Now I need to put all my forces|together and concentrate myself.

Nicolau wants to force me to make|a war and I don't want it.

France wants to involve me in a|war. I need you, Sissy.

I need your help!

Your advices!

See the Hungarians case! Your|understanding, your affection...

were more powerful than|all my generals!

Without you, there is no a reconciliation.|I won't be crowned the king of Hungary.

You only talk about coronations and wars,|but never about our daughter!

You only see me as an empress|and never as a mother!

No, Sissy!

You need to know what is|more important to your country.

- What is it?|- The General-attached asked to...

remind you about the reception of the|Hungarian cortege within half hour.

Say that I am already going.

Sissy, get ready soon.

I am not in conditions|to receive nobody.

There is no chance! You know what this|reception means?

For me it means nothing.

You are the empress from Austria!|Don't forget it!

Sorry, but it is time.

See you later.

Farewell.

Majesty...

the suitcases are ready.|When do you intend to leave?

In a little while.

Now leave me alone.

I just get knowing|that the Empress...

won't participate of the|reception and she will leave.

It's impossible!|It must be a rumor!

Her ordinance informed me.|It seems that there was another...

argument between her and the Royal|Highness for the child's protection.

I should speak with|the empress!

- And how will you do that?|- I'll go to her facilities.

Take me to her facilities.

- But just like that? Without an audience?|- I should take a risk, there are a lot...

of things involved.|Show me the way.

Sorry to bother you,|the count Andrassy is here.

- Is the count here?|- Yes. He asked you for an audience.

Have you informed him that I do not|want to receive anybody?

- Yes, but he insists.|- Let him in.

The Empress will receive you.

Sorry to disturb you|so abruptly.

But I just was informed that|you won't go to the reception.

- I have my reasons.|- I am sure that your...

reasons are plausible. But|I ask you to leave them aside.

It's impossible.

Since the generation of Maria Teresa,|the Hungarian people are waiting...

for a member of the Imperial House,|who is trustful...

someone the people|could live and could die for!

And we are here to speak with|that member, our future queen!

Although it is a very hard bale,|we ask you to go to the reception.

Count Andrassy, do not insist.|I can not go.

- Mother!|- My Sissy.

What should I do?|What should I do?

You should not let your|husband down, especially...

knowing that he loves you.|You have a duty...

be strong and surpass|to yourself.

- Is she coming?|- No.

- Baron, is everybody ready?|- Only the Empress is not.

It seems that she won't take|part of the reception.

- Any other orders, Majesty?|- No.

I'm happy you are here.

And I am happy to give you some|news that will make you happy.

Mom accepted the idea that|the child belongs to the mother.

- Franz! Is that true?|- Yes, it is!

She even already provided the|changing of the child's room.

- Who ordered it?|- The Royal Highness!

Sofia, I don't believe|that you did it.

His Majesty, the Emperor!|Her Majesty, the Empress!

I salute the Hungarian people|representatives...

and I welcome you|to Vienna!

Majesty.

The Hungarian people...

that I have the honor|to speak in their name...

express the wish...
