บท 124: Making One Cry

Austria, August 24th 1800

8:31 AM

In the Royal Palace, everyone was having their breakfast at the dining table. Even Leonhard and Lukas, who were training some minutes ago, were there.

Violett had noticed the bruises on Lukas's face, and seemed worried. "Are you okay, Lukas? What happened to you?" he asked.

Lukas swallowed his food. "I'm fine. I only started training along with Leonhard, and he is a bit harsh on me," he said.

Violett raised her brow, intrigued. ""Leonhard"? The crown prince?" she asked in disbelief.

Lukas just nodded his head before Franz, the King, suddenly stood up as he clapped his hands lightly to get everyone's attention.

Franz had a friendly smile on his face. "My faithful guests and family, I am truly sorry to interrupt your meal, but I shall not take long. I only would like to tell all of you that the branch of the Habsburg house that is currently controlling France is coming on a courtesy visit," he said.
