Despite all fidelity to the former king, Michael in this respect had the most serious doubts as it was absolutely clear - to carry out intentions to Milan never will allow. After the renunciation it has received from Russia of two million francs on condition that his foot never will step into the Serbian earth. Though Milan was not the person who always keeps a word, he should understand, as Russian will not throw out on a wind the of two million. They will be not not misled by sudden love of Milan to botany, they, naturally, first of all will think that actually he intends to displace the son from a throne. As a result department of Asia in Russian Ministry for Foreign Affairs, in whose conducting there was also an espionage activity on the Balkans, will do the utmost to expel senior Obrenovicha from Serbia. Frequent negotiations of Milan with the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs count Goluhovski and not less frequent dinners at emperor Frantsa-Iosifa in any way did not promote strengthening of love of Russian to it.
That old Frants-Iosif fed appreciable weakness for Milan, did not cease to surprise Michael. Uninitiated wrongly believed, as if has put only in display of gratitude of a sovereign to the faithful ally, but it was not absolutely so. The Kaiser, in плазах the people an honour and spotless reputation embodiment, felt to Milan, whose unbridled way of life and scandalous adventures did not descend from lips of all Europe, true sympathy.
From blessing of the Austrians and under проклятья Russian Milan has really returned to Belgrad. Up the time of arrival in capital and Topolnitsa, and school-nursery for a long time already have been forgotten. Instead he there and then was engaged in modernisation of the Serbian army. King Alexander never it was possible to them to adjust with military men good relations, has appointed the father the Supreme commander in chief and has given it possibility to tame and train five most uncontrollable and unrestrained divisions.
In Vienna and it was not presented to possibility to find out, whether the relation of the former king to the Drag, but Belgrad, unlike Vienna has changed, was a small city where everyone in a course of affairs of everyone, and Michael has counted reasonable to inform Milan that the widow the Car is its mistress.
For the former monarch it, apparently, became news, and it needed some instants to answer.
- You love it? - He has asked without special disapproval.
This question Michael itself repeatedly strutters to itself.
