บท 407: Negotiating Byzantine Intervention into Reconquista

The young Austrian King took a sip from the tea contained in his ceramic cup. Sitting across from him was none other than Vetranis Palaiologos. With a simple letter, Berengar was able to summon the mighty Emperor of the East to his humble abode. Thus, the two men were currently within the confines of the Austrian Royal Palace, specifically in its study discussing important matters of State.

Berengar placed his teacup down on the coaster as he gazed at the man sitting before him. By his side was Strategos Palladius Angelus, who had become the chief advisor of military matters to the Byzantine crown after Arethas' untimely demise. The stark contrast between Berengar's modern fashion and the medieval attire that his guests wore signified just how much more advanced Austria was compared to the next most powerful State within the Mediterranean.
