Sissi: The Young Empress Page #5

I'm talking about a heart that|beats for a nation.

And I want to thank|this love.

I will do everything I can|to make Hungary and Austria very close.

And give the country back|to those that have the right.

But these can be|only empty words.

To prove my|good will...

I want to invite you with the|Hungarian cortege to the ball.

We will celebrate|with our hearts...

the union between|our countries.

- I am outraged!|- What did you say?

- I am outraged!|- Why?

That Elisabeth has|invited our enemy...

that traitor, Andrassy!

Come on...

It is not easy to forget that|it was a Hungarian...

who lifted a dagger|against my Franz.

And now we can find him|unpunished among us!

Highness, count Andrassy requests|the honor of being presented to you.

Congratulations.

I won't give my hand to a rebel,|even if he has been amnestied.

Royal highness...

how can I tell him that?

In German or in Hungarian,|whatever!

It's a pity the waltz is gonna be over.|I'll have to change you for another one.

The Highness, Franz's mother,|offended us in public...

She doesn't recognize our amnesty|and she considers us her enemies!

Inadmissible.

I think we must|leave the ball!

I agree.

You are the imperial couple guests|and not the Emperor's mother guests!

It is all the same!|We don't accept this insult!

- Let us put our ladies together!|- Sure.

I'm sorry.

Majesty, are you going to|shake hands with the guests?

Majesty, excuse me, but do you|allow me to speak to you?

- What happened?|- The Hungarian guests...

got offended with the Royal|Highness Sofia...

and they want to leave|the ball!

The Royal Highness Sofia|offended us and...

Andrassy wants us|to leave the ball!

Majesty, the abandon of|the ball will mean...

- a break in the peaceful relationships!|- But how can we avoid it?

- Leave me alone.|- Majesty.

What is going on, Sissy?|You look so pale.

Franz, forgive me, but I will break|the ceremonial procedures...

but I will do that for you|and for your country.

What are you going to do?

This is impossible,|Countess!

But it is the expressed wish|of the Empress!

Well...

Gentlemen, the royal orders:|"the ladies choose".

"The ladies choose"?

- Was it you that ordered, Franz?|- No, I was me!

Colonel? Tell to Count Andrassy|to dance with me.

I am astonished!

Is everybody here?

Yes, but must we have|to say good-bye?

No.|We must not.

Count Andrassy, the Empress asks|your honor in the next dance.

I think this Empress' choice...

it more important than her|mother-in-law's offense.

We should stay.

Ask the Emperor|to dance with you.

It's my pleasure.

May I take you to the Empress?

Please.

Will you be there|without saying nothing?

Mother, I don't know reasons|that made Sissy...
