章 185: Self-criticism

Austria, October 25th 1800

9:58 AM

Lukas was standing in front of the door of Violett's room. He was a bit hesitant to knock on the door, since he didn't feel very comfortable to apologize to someone.

Soon, however, Lukas took a deep breath, and finally knocked on the door, as if he was doing the hardest thing in this world.

After waiting for a while, Lukas could finally hear Violett's voice from the other side. "Who is it?" she asked.

Lukas took another deep breath. "It's Lukas! I... need to talk to you," he said.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door. Violett and Freida were still together. Freida immediately smiled at Violett, as if she was telling her "I told you so."

Violett immediately smiled back at her mother, almost out of relief.

Violett then turned her head towards the door. "Come in," she said.
