Chapter 3: Chapter 3: The way foward
April 1, 1882
'After a few more weeks lost in thought, touring the beautiful city of Sinaia, Romania. With fresh thoughts, I decided not to get ahead of things and take things more calmly, what is necessary now is to form a circle of confidants who are loyal to me and who recognizes my ability from an early age.'
I thought while watching the scenery from the carriage's window.
'At 9 years old, it's impossible for adults to take me seriously but to leave good impressions I definitely can do it. Children of my age, 9-13 years old, children of servants or orphans in Romania or Germany will be my goal to form the group that I'll use in the future. With a little ingenuity, I can indoctrinate them with open-mindedness and obey orders, as for people with whom I can discuss plans I'd choose if there are any bright-minded among them.'
Going up the hill towards Peles Castle which is still under construction but according to my mother, it will officially open in 1883.
* Our family built Peles Castle in Prahova County, on a medieval route linking Transylvania and Wallachia.
When I got out of the carriage, and saw my father's butler waiting for me at the entrance to the Castle, I frowned my eyebrows in confusion but went ahead as if nothing had happened.
After a brief courtesy, he told me:
"Prince Frederick, your father had commissioned me to hire those who will be your mentors and educators. I am glad to inform you that they have already arrived this morning except the fencing master who will arrive in another week."
You can imagine my face of joy and enthusiasm when hearing this, I quickly thanked the butler and dismissed the companions who had escorted me on my little walk. When I arrived at the guest room, I saw 3 gentlemen in suits, I suppose my new teachers...
After an exhaustive banquet, my mother ordered me to welcome three gentlemen who will be my educators for the next 5 years. I'm lying on my bed again, planning the little free time I have left after the lessons that start tomorrow.
'It was a productive day, I was able to inspect a bit how people lived in Sinaia, one of the most prosperous cities in Romania. I have to conclude that the market conditions are not bad at all as for the capital city of Budapest I have no idea how it will be but it should not be so bad. People live their day-to-day lifes in tranquility, There is not much industry to speak of but there are many people and a commercial environment can be appreciated if you look carefully'.
I while lost in my thoughts a little, although my body is exhausted my mind continues non-stop with thoughts and ideas.
'If I'm not mistaken the second industrial revolution is just around the corner, it probably hasn't caught the eye of many because of the relatively new technologies. I am not economist expert, but I will try to attract investment to the Romanian oil fields, what I am 100% sure of, is that Carbon, Phosphorus, Copper, Iron, and oil are fundamental to industrialization, it should also... '
After thinking that, I fell into a deep sleep.
Days after...
April 18, 1882
It's been hell, I never thought I would voluntarily ask to study 12 hours a day. I think I made a mistake by adding more subjects than the existing ones. Fortunately, I can deal with basic math, geography, etiquette, and theology... But languages are the problem, history I just have to memorize and analyze for future changes but I never thought that in addition to general history, I would be forced to memorize coats of arms, useless history of lineages, and "honorable" historical figures.
The only good news was when I asked my English teacher about the past economic crisis, he told me about the crisis in the British Empire of the railway companies in the past but it was a momentary panic, the government was able to resolve the "small" altercation. It was like a bucket of cold water, and to think that I wanted to invest in real estate having the great opportunity to get fully involved in railway speculation!
'Since I have the goal set, all that remains is to plan and learn more about the subject. I will write everything in a notebook, obviously plans without mentioning key points that could compromise my plans or my secret of having memories of my past life

Author note: I noticed my chapter lacking words, Should I develop about characters's personal lives? or Economy related stuff? I can write a little summary of the historical precedents for each year but for that, you can check Wikipedia... I read your opinions!!
