The words Empress Augusta spoke to Elizabeth made Princess Elizabeth, still filled with dreams of love, silently worry about her future life as an empress.
After all, Elizabeth is only seventeen now, and making a girl of seventeen experience the bitterness that should only be tasted at twenty-seven or thirty-seven is truly too cruel!
"If it really is as you say, then I'm afraid I can only pray for God's salvation!" Elizabeth, slightly dispirited, forced a bitter smile that did not belong to her age as she spoke to Empress Augusta.
Seeing the atmosphere gradually becoming melancholic, Empress Augusta couldn't help but feel some regret. She realized she had painted too grim a future for Elizabeth, frightening the innocent girl before her.
However, Augusta was equally reluctant to deceive the girl in front of her.
If Elizabeth continued to maintain her naive personality at the Habsburg Court, she would inevitably pay the price for her innocence.
