Liesl has lived at the Hofburg with Pauline. Von Tegen recieved the blame for all disrespect. The procession to West Bahnhof was a pathetic affair until Karl bolstered it with fifty men of Austria's noble families. Sophie's casket was small, simple, and on a lower dias. In the end, their funeral took place together in the Hofburg Chapel. Archduke Karl, now heir, arranged for their funerals to be as equal as possible despite statesman Prinz Friedrich von Tegen's arrangements for the opposite in the name of the emperor. Their coffins arrived at the Sud Bahnhof in Vienna late July 2nd. However, their carriage was threatened with a thrown bomb-and while on an alternate route, two gunshots killed the married couple. As in the 1910 visit of the emperor, the streets were lined with troops and much of the angry populace was ordered indoors. On June 28th, 1914, Franz Ferdinand and Duchess Sophie visited Sarajevo in Serbia. His uncle, Emperor Franz Josef, furious about the match, allowed it only so long as it was morganatic. Franz Ferdinand von Este, heir to the throne, married Countess Sophie Chotek, the fifth daughter of Count Bohuslav Chotek and a woman socially beneath him. The aide reports that Schlegel's health is failing, and soon returns with news that the emperor is dying.Ī chapter of historical context. After a month in jail, Serevitch is located by one of the emperor's men. Von Tegen orders Sascha's death and Serevitch's arrest. He fails to hunt down the last man's location, and when von Tegen learns that Serevitch is undermining him to save his friend, the two fight and part ways. Serevitch claims that Sascha has knowledge of van Rabenfels' final spy-which will only be revealed when he is released. They fled to Austria together, and now Austria means to sacrifice Sascha as an upstart and murderer to protect von Tegen's plot. When Serevitch returns, he visits Sascha-who was expelled from the Russian Intelligence network alongside him for knowing too much. Van Rabenfel's body is then found and pinned upon Sascha, who is arrested. The next day, a mob inspired by Sascha assembles outside the palace for food Schlegel gives it to them, appeasing them. While he buries the emperor in Schlegel's intended grave, the monk plants van Rabanfels's corpse in the slums to be found. Serevitch soon returns with Schlegel, then departs beside the monk with Franz Josef and van Rabenfels' bodies. While awaiting the spy's return, von Tegen confronts a monk-one of van Rabenfel's group-and converts him to their side. Serevitch convinces the peasant, Hans Schlegal, to imitate the emperor with a fake letter stating that it was Franz Josef's will. Deciding that they have no choice, the pair rushes to prepare the doppelganger. Van Rabenfels draws his sword and dies on von Tegen's. Von Tegen and Serevitch enter to a dead Franz Josef. The seditious Prinz tells Emperor Franz Josef that von Tegen and Serevitch had organized Archduke Franz Ferdinand's death-inadvertently, the emperor suffers a heart attack from shock. They rush to defend the emperor, but von Rabenfels reached the throne sooner. Serevitch poisons and kills the mistress and returns to von Tegen. By pretending to abandon von Tegen for van Rabenfels, Serevitch learns that this other group plans to murder the emperor and usurp the doppelganger plot for control of the empire. She works with Prinz Otto von Rabenfels, a noble with a reputation for greed. Serevitch's gossip-mongering leads him deeper into the French mistresses' organization. The composed Sascha Saragonde assures them that he knows the risk of his beliefs, but he will continue his path where it takes him. Along with her friend, the naive but attentive Leisl von Holstein, she encounters a Marxist speaker condemning the war. Meanwhile, von Tegen's wife Pauline visits the poorer sectors of Vienna to deliver charitable aid. Ever cautious, von Tegen orders Serevitch to spy on her, and a year later, she begins to reveal clues of her involvement with a counter Russian spy ring. After he dismisses her, she swears revenge and leaves. Von Tegen, busy with his duties as a statesman and as one of the emperor's closest aides, is interrupted by his French mistress. Together with a Russian expatriate and spy, Boris Serevitch, he identifies an elderly peasant with identical likeness for the role.
