章 107: Clever Girl...

Archduchess Hedwig was the granddaughter of Franz Joseph I, she had of course been invited to this gathering to honor the German Kaiser's personal representative, and the general tasked with leading the Military Exercises in the alps that would be conducted within the next few days. 

Though only currently roughly ten years of age, she had an almost innate understanding of people and their character. The expressions worn on one's face were often contrary to their nature. Liars and murderers often wore the kindest of smiles. 

Perhaps it was because she had grown up in the Royal palace, which was rife with ambitious men, and treachery around every corner that the girl had gained a rather unique ability to understand people better than they often understood themselves And this was why she became interested in Bruno the moment she laid eyes upon the man.
