Maria Antonia Josephine Joan of Habsburg-Lorraine, nicknamed by the French Antoinette, grew up in a court where the label and education, which were given to archdukes and Archduchess not ever choked her spontaneity . (Going on a paragraph there are other records that I used, if you feel like you can search and time).
The reasons for the marriage can be searched in the consolidation of the alliance between the French crown and the Austrian Empire in response to the treaty of alliance between the King of Prussia, arch-enemy of Austria, and England. In the past, Austria and France were not on good terms. names were left in their original language (Maria Theresia, Maria Antonia, Louis Auguste).
The story takes place when, on the banks of the Rhine just beyond the city of Strasbourg, Maria Antonia was accompanied in the wooden pavilion set up for the ceremony of "Remise", during which he lost his clothes and put on Austrian French ones, leaving everything he had brought with him on the trip.
I hope I do not want, really love this character and sometimes I like to read her story but I never studied in depth if you notice any mistake please let me see.
And yes, the title ( small Austrian French) is horrible:)
Enjoy.
Petite Autrichienne français
Austria was restless in the distance seeing the banks of the Rhine get closer and closer.
Sitting next to the imperial carriage window, watching his beloved little Austrian lost in some kind of fantasy world, free and carefree in her imagination by fifteen.
He could not conceive how the Empress Maria Theresia, his mother, had accepted a proposal without restraint so absurd and reconcile the Austro-French alliance against the kingdom of Prussia through the union in marriage of his daughter , Maria Antonia, and the dauphin of France.
He wondered if there might be other ways, if the marriage with that Luis Auguste, they knew only her face painted by some kind of expert retoucher, could be avoided, and she continued to live in the building regardless of all the problems with which, from there recently, would have to do.
He knew that Antonia had not pulled back the proposal of marriage, you probably already aware of his destiny from childhood, but no one had ever promised that it would become an Austrian in France. He despised the French, despised France.
closed his fingers into a fist and straightened his glasses. The horses in front the coach, nitrite and slowed.
"Archduchess?," Austria said putting her hand on her dress and waking from sleep that he had accepted. Her, opening his eyes and looking at his face, smiled.
"You can call Antonia, as you well know." Answered the girl drew back the curtains and looking out of the passenger cab. The sun was lost in the foliage of the forest, illuminating the landscape only to displacement. "Are we there yet?" He asked, turning again to man and his ladies in waiting, sitting beside her.
"In a few minutes, Archduchess." Answered one of them, adjusting the hat that had slipped to one side during the trip.
It had been two weeks since they started, but the journey that linked the Austrian empire and the kingdom of France seemed to want to continue for a period much longer.
"Down", Austria began, indicating a point in front of him just out of the carriage "was set up a pavilion where the ceremony will be celebrated the Remise."
The girl looked out , then turn Austria and smile again.
"you will accompany me?"
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid it's impossible." He said looking down.
passed a few moments of silence where the only noise you heard was the trampling of horses and other coaches who followed her.
When the driver ordered them to stop, Austria seemed to miss a heartbeat, a part of himself, which knew neither the size nor the importance, I was leaving. Antonia looked one last time, which was lost with rapt gaze into the forest just outside the cockpit.
"France will be as gentle as it was you?" She asked suddenly, taking a hand of Austria, but without looking at him.
The man smiled. "Of course not, you will probably soon will fill you with kindness, you can see in the future of his country, then storpierà your name is not able to speak German."
Antonia laughed, like the other ladies at her side. "Then why are entrusting me to him? "he asked, looking into his eyes.
Austria shook the hand that had taken the girl and said simply: "I am not relying on him. You must be an Austrian in France, you are the pride of our empire and to remind the French that we have the best dolphin ever had. "
" But Austria! Do not you think an account of a little 'too risky? "He said before the driver opened the door and did get the ladies.
Antonia smiled still looking Austria. "Absolutely, you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, Maria Antonia. "
" Oh no! "she said quietly, bringing his head. "I am a woman now, Austria! And my name is Marie Antoine. "
smiled one last time and turned toward the exit, with assistance from the other ladies to go down.
Austria stood looking at the point where, seconds before, was admiring the girl's face. Never saw her again his little Austrian French.
