Chapter 123: The Prince and His Wife

While Bruno was speaking with the Tsar in private about his military modernization efforts, Heidi was off speaking with the Tsar's wife. The two of them, oddly enough, hit it off, or at least as well as two women can upon first meeting each other. 

And because of this, they were quite friendly to one another by the time Bruno and Nicohlas emerged from their private discussion. Both Bruno and the Tsar were surprised to see how friendly the two women were being, and because of this, Bruno was quick to make a remark about it. 

"And here I thought you were fundamentally incapable of making friends… I'm surprised that even after all these years being married, there are still parts of you I don't understand." 

Truthfully speaking, Bruno wasn't aware that Heidi was actually on good terms with the distant members of her family. And had a close friendship with a mediatized princess within the German Reich. One who she commonly spoke with while Bruno was away.
