บท 298: "Fill My Glass"

Austria, July 2nd 1803

8:12 AM

Lukas and Niklas arrived to the brekfast table at the same time. A few people were already there, however, not all of them.

Franz immediately looked at both his son and Lukas. "Good morning, Niklas, Lukas," he said.

Lukas nodded his head. "Good morning, Your Majesty," he said.

Niklas nodded his head too. "Y-Yes, Your Majesty. Good morning," he said.

This time Niklas could force himself to look into Franz's eyes, however, he still looked very stiff and nervous.

Franz gave a slight nod. "You may sit," he said.

Niklas and Lukas immediately did that, and waited for the breakfast to be served.

Franz seemed to have noticed that Niklas had improved a lot on his social skills, since he had started treating him more cordially, however, the conversation he had had Lukas yesterday showed that he still wasn't satisfied with his accomplishments.
