He forgot the world, he forgot that he was a prisoner on parole, he forgot the strife between the kingdom and the duchy, he forgot everything but the wild impossible love which filled his senses. He forgot even Prince Frederick of Carnavia. In truth, the world was "a sorry scheme of things." It was grotesque with inequalities.
The students of the university were committing mild depredations, such as building bonfires, holding flambeau processions, and breaking windows which contained the photographs of Prince Frederick of Carnavia, who, strangely enough, was still wrapt in obscurity. When Maurice entered the Grand Hotel he looked casually among the porters, but the round-faced one was missing. He approached the desk.
The archbishop, to stave off the probable end, brought about the alliance between the houses of Carnavia and Osia. My business here is to arrange for a ten years' renewal of the loan, and that is what the duchess wishes to prevent, mon ami. What's to become of the king and his daughter if aught in the way of mishap should befall me? I have not seen the king, but I have seen her Royal Highness."
The police can find no trace of him. He left Carnavia for Bleiberg; he stopped at Ehrenstein, directed his suite to proceed; there, all ends. The ambassador from Carnavia approached me to-day. He scouts the idea of a peasant girl, and hinted at other things." "Yes," said the king, "there is something behind all this. Frederick is not a youth of peccadilloes. Something has happened to him.
The king, it is said, fears that some accident has happened to him. Carnavia is also disturbed over this disappearance. Some whisper of a beautiful peasant girl. Who can say?" "Any political significance in this marriage?" "Leopold expects to strengthen his throne by the alliance. But " Johann's mouth closed and his tongue pushed out his cheek.
"Perhaps," said Kronau, shrugging. "It is already on the way." "Your Highness forgets that Carnavia belongs to the confederation, and that the king, your father, dare not send you troops without the consent of the emperor, which, believe me, will never be given;" and he urged his horse down the slope. The army of the duchess had now gained the open.
The crown prince of Carnavia, which is the large kingdom just east of us, is to wed the Princess Alexia, the daughter of the king." "On the twentieth? That is strange." "Strange?" "I meant nothing," said the Englishman, jerking back his shoulders; "I had in mind another affair." There was a flash in Johann's eyes, but he subdued it before the Englishman was aware of its presence.
Von Mitter was too much the soldier not to master his surprise at once. He saluted, clicked his heels and limped toward the throne room. He stopped at the threshold, saluted again, and, in a voice full of quavers, announced: "His Highness Prince Frederick of Carnavia." He stepped aside, and the prince pushed past him into the throne room.
