Chapter 27: Rest and Respite

Upon returning home from his first day at the Prussian War College, Bruno wanted nothing more than to collapse into his bed and get a good night's sleep. But would Heidi allow the man to get some rest without properly filling his stomach?

Not at all. Like a proper wife, she ensured her husband's health was maintained. And because of this, she greeted Bruno at the door with a liter of beer in one hand and a plate of food in the other.

Even Bruno had to admit, as exhausted as he may be, the platter of schnitzel, fried potatoes, and spaetzle was more than enough to convince him to eat a meal with his woman. Though the two of them were Prussian, Heidi was well versed in any number of regional German cuisines and how to properly prepare them.
