In the Milan Royal Palace, the House of Wittelsbach was engaged in a final discussion on whether to give up the Greek throne.
The matter was actually quite straightforward, unlike the original timeline where Otto I was deposed, this time Otto I died a natural death, with many at the top echelons of the Greek Government being people Otto I had brought over from Bavaria.
With Austrian support, these individuals still held significant power. The Wittelsbach family's foundation in Greece remained undamaged, and a successor dispatched could stabilize the situation in the shortest time possible.
That was also why Franz was inclined to support the House of Wittelsbach, as replacing with a foreign king would make it difficult to wield control over Greece.
Although Otto I could not be considered a successful king, he was far from ineffectual. During the Near East War, Greece suffered defeat, but the king emerged victorious.
