She knew that if she escaped the palace, the organization would murder her and if anyone from the palace figured out who she was she would meet with ill fate. Elisabeth was displeased by the physical condition of the workers and how they were forced to sacrifice their day’s wages in support of the army. Her companion was killed, and Ava lost her chance to leave the royal life behind, though living with her false identity was not that easy. The idea was to become close to the new Empress and provide intel to her organization. She decided to side with the monarchy and informed the royal guards about the planned attack on the Emperor.

She also embarked on a very strict exercise regiment in order to maintain her 18-inch waist throughout her life. Against the backdrop of jealousy, intrigue and power struggles behind the scenes of the Habsburg court - and the emerging question of freedom of the people - the audience is taken into a glittering illusory world, in which a young Sissi must fight for her place at court, as well as the right to be the figurehead of an ailing empire."
