Austria, August 23rd 1803
6:00 PM
Lukas had already greeted the rest of the people at this point. Now, everyone was just waiting for Franz, who was in the meeting room, to authorize them to come in.
Soon, Leonhard walked towards Lukas. "What's he doing? Wasn't the meeting supposed to start at 6 o'clock?" he whispered.
Lukas checked his watch for a brief moment. "It's still 6 o'clock. Let's try to be a bit more patient," he replied.
Right after Lukas's answer, the door of the meeting room opened, and Franz could be seen inside of the room, standing at the entrance.
Franz smiled at everyone there. "Welcome to one of the most important meetings in the history of this country, my faithful guests. Shall we begin?" he asked. "Please, come in," the king added while starting to walk further into the room.
