I have edited this whole thing a bit.....I have exchanged larva with maggot and I have made out of the great grandfather the great great grandfather, because Emperor Franz Josef died 1916.

Part 1
Heidi knew her aunt her whole life long. She was living nearby her home and so she had met her at every bigger celebration or, what was more common, when she came by to have a glass of wine with her mother or father.
She and her husband didn't have any children because they had too much work to do. Their jobs and the management of their land took pretty much all the time they had.
Her aunt had worked at the University of Vienna as a history professor. Her special subject was politics of the K&K monarchy. She was excellent in her subject because she knew all the dirty ancestor’s secrets first hand.
When Heidi came into her household she reduced her university courses to some in the afternoon. So she could teach the next empress everything what was needed. She was one of the few who were able to teach the top of the feudal pyramid, how to use the ones beneath her.
It was planned that in the morning she would teach Heidi politics. After lunch her husband would take over. He was director of the military academy in Wiener Neustadt so military strategies was his subject.
In the evening the child would take martial art lessons. Heidi was a pretty skilled martial artist because her parents sent her to a famous trainer.
Sunday was the only free day when she could hang out with her friends.
It was a harsh curriculum but Heidi was the one who decided on it.
Part 2
Her aunt pitied her. Such a young child, emperor over half of the world and no one except the royal family knew it. The lifes of billions in these little hands. No father, no mother who could teach her what was needed.
On top of that the enemy of the monarchy killed them. Heidi's life won't be a peaceful one.
The aunt had seen these burning eyes at the police station once before. It were her brother's eyes at the funeral of their little sister. She knew that this was the day when he swore revenge to the Free Nations.
And so the circle of revenge turned once more.
A sigh escaped her mouth in the middle of her lesson.
Her student, a 10 year old girl, threw a questioning look at her.
Ignoring it the aunt said:
"Let's repeat your highness: What is your rough territory?"
"You can make a boarder at the EU including the neutral members. The EU was originally formed by the Habsburger family to make it easier to manage this big block consisting out of many little countries. Then there is North America, most of South America and in Asia Japan, South Korea and a big part of the south of Africa. “
“But Misses aunt in America and Europe are the richest countries of the world. Does this mean that the politics of our father and our grandfather were so favourable for our empire?"
"Oh my child, the Habsburgers only make rarely politics nowadays. The last time they made politics themselves was under your great grandfather.
Yeah there was one exception: A relative of yours who wanted to go into the Austrian parliament but he hasn't really managed anything there up to now.
We only give our people rough ideas and they have to sort out the rest."
"But how do we manage our lands then? How can we state that we are an empress when no one will listen to us?"
"For this your highness you have to hear the most important story of our family:
One day, a few days before the First World War, a UFO crash landed in our kingdom. The aliens on board wanted to talk to our emperor. So your great great grandfather Emperor Franz Josef went to them to recruit them.
The aliens agreed to it but only for certain conditions:
They were in a desperate situation. Their hosts weren't able to survive very long in the atmosphere of earth and they knew that if their queen made a symbiosis with a human body their royal family would be forever bound to our blood.
The aliens described your great great grandfather their abilities precisely and in the end he happily accepted their conditions.
Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.
After this we won the war... bla, bla, bla."
"Won the war?"
"Yeah it's another well-kept secret which only our family knows. Through a well-placed infiltration we were able to put king-maggot into the ears of our opponents. Through this maggotlike creatures the royal family was and is able to control their lands."
"The aliens look like maggots? and we too have a maggot in our head?....Yuk!"
"Yes in their portable stadium they look like maggots but after they enter the head through the ear their main body becomes indistinguishable from your synapses.
The only thing which is visibly different from a normal human is the organ which they lay eggs with."
"What? We have a maggot in our head and there it lays eggs?"
"No not in your head but in your blood. The eggs circulate through your whole body."
"Oh much better, I haven’t got eggs only in my head but in my whole body....."
"Yes and you can make someone your loyal subject after an incubate time of one day if they come in contact with your royal body fluids."
"Are you kidding? We become their empress if we spit at them."
“Or kiss them”
Heidi made a face of disbelieve.
"No my empress, that’s not the whole truth."
Heidi' made a relived face.
"Not only your body fluids. The body fluids of the royal family, your kings and knights have the same effect."
Heidi's face returned to the state of disbelieve
"My empress it goes like this:
Your body fluids and my body fluids make kings.
The body fluids of the kings make knights
And the knight makes common folk. Common folk can't reproduce itself through body fluids.
Only the children of the infected are common folk too."
"Okay let's pretend we could believe this ridiculous story. Why are we your empress and not you ours?"
"Because only you can give me hypnotic-like suggestive orders after the age of 20 and I can't. It would be different if I could use actual hypnosis. At your coronation you will be able to give orders to the royal family.”
The empress had heard the entire story patiently. Now was the time to react accordingly.
Heidi's face became deep red. What was this person thinking? Yeah she was only a 10 year old child. But was she thinking that Heidi would buy everything.
This person claims that her great grand father was having contact with aliens and that she herself was part alien. Aliens in Austria? What idiot would believe such nonsense?
„Green men? Suggestive orders? You want to tell us that we can hypnotize everyone of our subjects after our coronation. We are sorry but we can't belief this.
Not only this but that our great grandfather had contact with aliens. How gullible do you think we are? The next thing you tell me is that the Christ Child puts presents under the Christmas tree! And the Easter Bunny is real! Are we in a cabaret or what?"
There was no holding. The empress had gone wild. She threw her desk over cried curses at her aunt.
“And a person like you wants to teach us? Do you think we are an idiot?”
Her aunt could feel the wrath of the emperor maggot which crushed onto hers. Although Heidi was so young her aunt could clearly feel an effect. It felt like her own maggot wanted to withdraw into the deepest depth of her brain. There was no end to her rampage. She knew when the same would happen 10 years no even 5 years from now her maggot would mean death.
But what to do? Hitting? No chance. Not against the empress. Talking back? Not against the one who had the emperor maggot in her head. The only thing she could do was to wait until the storm was over and make afterwards arrangements to proof her innocence. The storm rampaged for another 30 minutes or so. She was quietly hearing everything about it.
After Heidi calmed herself again her aunt said:
"I could proof it to you by making someone into a subordinate of my empress."
The now calmer other party responded accordingly.
"When you can proof your innocence we will apologize for our unfitting behavior.”
With this the empress’ first lesson came to an end.
